INSTALLATION  
Unpacking  
Positioning  
Before starting the machine up, the packing must be  
removed as follows.  
Your new washing machine has been designed to be  
permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply  
and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it  
may be connected to suitable existing taps with the drain  
hose discharging into a sink.  
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.  
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with  
female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection is  
not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installa-  
tion, a variety of connectors are available from good  
hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most  
domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plum-  
bing must be carried out by a competent person, or qua-  
lified plumber.  
P0255  
Water inlet  
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,  
blue for cold and red for hot.  
Before connecting the  
hoses be sure to fit the  
mesh filters supplied as  
per diagram.

Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the  
machine.  
P0003  
Carefully slide out the right polythene bag (1), removing  
it toward the centre of the machine.  
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two  
hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y» connec-  
tion piece.  
Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag (2),  
removing it toward the centre of the machine.  
Installation should comply with local water authority and  
building regulations’ requirements.  
Remove the polystyrene  
base, set the machine  
upright and unscrew the  
two remaining rear bolts.  
The appliance must be given a separate cold water sup-  
ply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet  
water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pres-  
sure of 7 psi is required for safe operation of the appli-  
ance.  
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from  
the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appli-  
ance from your cold water storage system.  
P0256  
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (161/2 ft)  
between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the tank.  
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply,  
providing there is a minimun height of 2.74 metres  
(9 ft) between the bottom of the cold water storage tank  
and the bottom of the hot water cylinder.  
Set the hoses correctly by  
loosening the ring nuts.  
After positioning the inlet  
hoses, be sure to tighten  
the ring nuts again to pre-  
vent leaks.

Special conditions  
Water drainage  
If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or covered  
with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base  
under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displace-  
ment. The base should protrude a few centimetres  
beyond the edges of the machine.  
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 / ") in order that there is an air gap between

the drain hose and the standpipe. Make sure, that it is  
designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose  
cannot be covered with water.  
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4  
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is  
available from your local service centre. The joining  
piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.  
Note  
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is  
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a break-  
down.  
All plumbing and electrical work required to install this  
appliance must be carried out by competent persons or  
qualified plumbers or electricians.

It is essential that these appliances are not connected to  
the surface water drainage system as this water is  
discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause  
pollution.  
If you require any further advice please contact your  
local authority drainage department.  
Important  
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to  
pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a  
reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that  
may have collected in the pipes.  
When discharging into a sink or a standpipe ensure that  
the end of the drain hose is neither too high nor too low.  
The top of the curve in the hose’s end should be no  
more than 90 cm (35.4”), and no less than 60cm (23.6”)  
above floor level.  
Levelling  
Level the washing ma-  
chine by raising or low-  
ering the feet. The feet  
may be tight to adjust as  
they incorporate a self  
locking nut, but the machi-  
ne MUST be level.

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.  
Washing hints  
Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the  
first few times you use the appliance.  
The average weights of the most common items are  
listed below as a guide:  
Only wool marked «Pure New Wool - washable, pre-  
shrunk» can be washed in the machine using the  
wool programme; other types of wool should be  
washed by hand or dry cleaned.

Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with  
small ones.  
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,  
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.  
Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may  
unravel.  
Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects  
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws  
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.  
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.  
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.  
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately  
when washing for the first time.  
When washing fabrics requiring different wash tem-  
peratures together, always select the lowest tempera-  
ture.  
White items should not be washed with coloured  
items.  
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)  
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.  
Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic  
washing machines.  
Use the correct quantities of detergent.  
For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quanti-  
ties.  
Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care  
and kept out of reach of children.

IMPORTANT NOTES  
For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for  
dispensing detergents and liquid additives.  
When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme,  
place the detergent into the correct compartment in the  
dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.  
Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it  
in gently. This is particularly important if you are using  
fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the  
machine prematurely.

USE OF DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES  
And in which form?  
Which detergent?  
Not only are there different types of detergent, but  
they are also available in different forms. Whether  
you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or com-  
pact form is to own personal choice.  
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from  
your appliance, it is important to use the right deter-  
gent 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 dif-  
ferent washes, whether for whites, colours or deli-  
cates.  
Traditional Powders  
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer.  
Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine  
drum.  
Traditional Liquids  
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compart-  
ment of the detergent drawer marked with the sym-  
Whites  
We recommend the Ariel product  
range which is biological and  
designed to provide excellent  
cleaning and stain removal even  
at low temperatures.  
bol  
, start the machine immediately upon plac-  
ing the detergent in the dispenser drawer.  
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the  
specially designed dosing device* which should be  
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the  
machine drum.  
Non Biological  
If you prefer to use a non  
biological detergent, which does  
not contain enzymes we  
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides  
good cleaning and stain removal.  
Compact Powders and Liquids  
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are  
also known) are available in liquid or powder form,  
and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the  
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most eco-  
nomical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the  
dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the  
detergent into the specially designed dosing  
device* which should be placed on top of the laun-  
dry, and at the back of the machine drum.  
Coloureds  
For coloured items you should use  
a detergent which is designed to  
clean while maintaining the original  
colour.  
Ariel Color does not contain bleach  
and therefore helps to preserve  
colours.  
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,  
please ensure the dosing device/ball is  
removed before carrying out a drying pro-  
gramme.  
Delicate Items  
Fabric Conditioners  
These are ideal for improving “softness”, and also  
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing  
easier. They are available in two types:  
When washing delicates such as  
woollens, you should use a product  
which is specially designed to care  
for fine fabrics.  
Dreft Automatic is suitable for wool-  
lens and other delicates.  
For example Lenor liquid fabric  
softener, for use in the washing  
machine/washer dryer. The  
liquid fabric softener should be  
poured into the compartment  
Laundry Bleach  
For additional stain removal you  
may wish to use a product such as  
Ace Gentle Bleach which is used in  
addition to your chosen detergent.  
Ace is suitable for all washable fab-  
rics including silks, woollens and  
coloureds.  
marked with the symbol  
.
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage  
instructions and never exceed the  
MAX level.  
Bounce conditioning sheets for use  
in a tumble dryer. We recommend  
the conditioning sheets are pinned  
(using a safety pin) to an article  
of laundry and placed in the  
tumble dryer.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you  
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity  
supply.  
The dangers of freezing  
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,  
certain precautions should be taken.  
Turn off the water taps.  
Descaling  
Unscrew the inlet hoses.  
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.  
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and  
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet  
hoses in a bowl. Run the draining programme until  
the selector dial is in the “Stop” position.  
Disconnect the appliance.  
Screw the inlet hoses and reposition the drain hose.  
When you intend to start the machine up again,  
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.  
After each wash  
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent  
mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.  
Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to pre-  
serve the door seal.  
External cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and  
water only, and then dry thoroughly.  
Cleaning the dispenser drawer  
From time to time the washing powder and additive  
dispenser drawer should be cleaned.  
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards  
and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove  
any traces of accumulated powder.  
C0002  
C0003  
Cleaning the drawer recess  
Having removed the  
drawer, use a small brush  
to clean the recess, en-  
suring that all washing  
powder residue is re-  
moved from the upper and  
lower part of the recess.  
Replace the drawer and  
run the rinse programme  
for a few minutes without  
P0038  
any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the filter  
The water inlet filters  
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime de-  
posit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.  
The water drain filter  
It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time to  
time.  
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the  
machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every  
wash.  
Turn off the water taps.  
Unscrew the water inlet hoses.  
Open the filter door and  
place a container under-  
neath to catch any spill-  
age. 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. To do this, unhook  
Remove and clean the fil-  
ters using a hard bristle  
brush. Replace the filters  
and tighten up the inlet  
hoses.  
P0011  
the drain hose from the  
P0041  
standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a  
bowl on the floor. The water should drain by gravity into  
the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the hose back up  
and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water  
stops flowing out.  
Unscrew and remove the filter.  
P0132  
P0133  
Clean carefully under a  
fast running tap.  
P0040  
Warning  
When the appliance is in use and depending on the pro-  
gramme selected there can be hot water in the filter.  
Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait  
until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty.  
When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retight-  
ened so as to stop leaks and young children being able  
to remove it.
