and earth connections meet the local regulations and/or other applicable regulations. Important: Ensure that the transit bolts have been removed prior to using the machine. Recommendations • • • • • • • • • Residues of detergent or softener left in the detergent drawer for long periods will dry and stick to the detergent drawer. To prevent this put the detergent and softener into the detergent drawer just before washing.
Before First Use When your washer dryer has been correctly installed, we recommend that you pre-clean the machine. This is to check that the installation, the connections and the drainage are all correct, and to thoroughly clean the inside of the washer dryer before any wash programmes are run. Prior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have been removed. • Select the Cotton 90ºC programme and add a normal dose of detergent into the detergent dispenser. • Press the Start/Pause button.
• We recommend loading the washer dryer to its full capacity for best water and energy efficiency. Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of different sizes within the same wash programme. This improves the washing action and also aids the correct distribution of the garments in the drum when spin-drying, and the washer dryer will therefore be quieter.
Control Panel Display: shows the settings (spin speed, cycle status, timer, child lock on/off, maximum recommended weight). The settings can be modified using the buttons underneath.

Leveling 1. On appliances with adjustable rear feet, note that the rear of the appliance (as supplied) rests on skids and not on the feet. 2. Before positioning the washer dryer, check that the rear feet are screwed fully in, to prevent damage as the appliance is shifted into position. 3. Once the appliance is in its position, the height of the rear feet has to be increased so that the appliance no longer stands on the skids. 4.
Connecting to the Mains Water Supply 1. Check that the water supply pressure is in the range: 0.11.0MPa. With higher pressures, use a pressure reducer. 2. Connect the cold water supply hose (blue screw collar) to the cold water tap with ¾” gas threaded connector, taking care to tighten firmly to prevent leaks. The water supply hose must not be kinked or crushed and must not be changed or cut. Threaded connections must only be tightened by hand.
• After connecting the water supply, check to ensure there are no leaks. The drain hose must be securely fastened to the outlet to prevent any risk of the drain hose becoming detached and causing flooding. Once the appliance is connected to the water supply and the drain connection, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not folded, twisted, crushed or elongated by stretching when moving the appliance into position. Electrical Information Warning! This appliance must be earthed.
Important: Do not use the appliance without the fuse cover in position. How to Connect an Alternative Plug If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then it should be cut off and disposed of safely to prevent the risk of electric shock. A suitable alternative plug of at least 13 Amp rating to BS 1363 should be used.
