IMPORTANT INFORMATION It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety.
INSTALLATION Unpacking Positioning Before starting the machine up, the packing must be removed as follows. You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the machine is to be transported again. Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right bolt. Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed. Your new washing machine has been designed to be permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply and drainage system.
Water drainage If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and that the plug hole is not blocked. If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end of the hose into a standpipe installed for the purpose. The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least 40 mm (1 1/2") in order that there is an air gap between the drain hose and the standpipe.
Electrical connections WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed. If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home.

Washing hints ■ Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products, which can be found in most household shops. In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-soak product or biological detergent. ■ Only wool marked «Pure New Wool - washable, preshrunk» can be washed in the machine using the wool programme; other types of wool should be washed by hand or dry cleaned.
WASH CARE SYMBOLS Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results. The care labelling code is in line with care labelling used in the rest of Europe. The symbols used make it easy to select the correct programme on your washing machine. WASHING SYMBOL WASH ACTION FABRIC Normal (Maximum) White Cotton or Linen without Special Finishes Normal (Maximum) Cotton, Linen or Viscose without Special Finishes Colourfast at 60°C.
Programmes for cotton and linen Recommended load: max. 4.
Programmes for synthetics, delicates and wool Recommended load: max. 2 kg (4.5 lb); wool max. 1 kg (2.
WHICH DETERGENT TO USE?.... For most clothes and household textiles, CONVENTIONAL DETERGENTS will give good washing results. Conventional detergents are available in either a biological, such as Ariel, or a non-biological form, such as Fairy, and are particularly suitable for whites. Biological detergents provide improved stain removal, especially at lower temperatures. For washing wool and silk, COLOUR DETERGENTS ARE NOT SUITABLE.
USING YOUR MACHINE WASHING 4.5 KG OF WHITE COTTON AT 95°C Suppose you have 4.5 kg of normally dirty laundry to wash. It is white cotton and is suitable for high temperature washing. 5 Select the required wash programme Turn the programme selector dial clockwise to the required programme (2). 2 1 Load the laundry Open the door by pulling the catch outward. Load the items one at a time and close the door.
WASHING 2 KG OF SYNTHETIC FABRICS AT 40°C Suppose you have 2 kg of synthetic fabric laundry to wash. They are rather delicate fabrics and should not be washed at a high temperature. 4 Select the required wash programme 13 12 Turn the programme selector dial clockwise to the required programme (7). 1 Load the laundry Open the door by pulling the catch outward. Load the items one at a time and close the door.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply. Descaling The water we normally use contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
Cleaning the filter The water inlet filters The water drain filter A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every wash. Open the filter door and place a container underneath to catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the water manually from the machine at this stage.
