Operating Sequence 4.Switch the machine on and select the desired programme WASHING Before the first wash, we recommend that you pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer in order to activate the ECO valve. Then run a cotton cycle at 95°C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer and start the machine.
7. Start the programme If these requirements are met, when you pause the washing machine, the door can be opened. Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by turning the selector dial on “O” position. After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door. Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the washing machine! After closing the door, select the programme again and depress the start pause button.
DRYING 2.5 KG OF COTTON 5. At the end of the programme, the pilot lights “wash” and the “dry” go off and the “end” illuminates. Turn the selector dial to the “O” position to switch the machine off. 6. Remove the laundry. You have for example just machine-washed and spun at 1200 rpm 5 kg of laundry. They are cotton fabrics of medium weight which you want to iron as soon as they are dry. Turn the selector dial to the “O” position to switch the machine off.
Washing and Drying Hints ● Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance.
Which detergent?.... And in which form? To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

Maintenance and Cleaning Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply. Descaling The water we use normally 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 pump • Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat. The pump should be inspected if • the machine does not empty and/or spin • the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump. Proceed as follows: • Disconnect the appliance. • If necessary wait until the water has cooled down. • Open the pump door. P1117 • Screw the pump cover fully in. • Close the pump door.
The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. ● Turn off the water tap. ● Unscrew the inlet hose. ● Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out. ● Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again. ● When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
Something Not Working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below. IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.

Installation Instructions It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Any plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent person.
Unpacking Fill all the holes with the plastic plugs supplied with the instruction booklet. All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance. 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 two rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins. Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed.
Water inlet Connect the hose supplied with the machine to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Do not use already employed hoses. U piece supplied P1199 Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. P1088 38 mm (11.2) standpipe diameter 30 cm (12") Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot. If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place. P1051 Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the machine during operation. Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a wooden floor. Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible, always place the machine on a solid floor.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below.
