Warnings
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shocks, injury or damage when using
your machine, please take the following precautions:
• Please read all the instructions before using the machine.
• Do not wash items that have previously been cleaned, washed,
soaked or treated with petrol, solvents for dry cleaning, other
inflammable substances or explosives, as they produce fumes that
could catch fire or explode.
• Do not add petrol, solvents for dry cleaning or other inflammable or
explosive substances to the wash water as they produce fumes that
could catch fire or explode.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the machine or try to carry out
any type of servicing unless it is recommended in the maintenance
instructions in the manual.
• Do not climb onto the machine or stand on the open porthole door.
• Do not use an extension lead or adaptor to connect your machine
to the mains supply.
• Follow the washing instructions recommended by the manufacturer
of the garment to be washed.
• Do not turn your machine on until you are sure that:
It has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions.
All the water, drainage, mains electricity and earth connections
meet the local regulations and/or other applicable
regulations.
• Never dry clothing or frabrics containing residues of setting lotions,
hairsprays, nail solvents or similar solutions. These items could form
flammable or harmful vapours.
7
Important: Ensure that the transit bolts have been removed prior
to using the machine (see page 32).
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.
• It is recommended that the pre-wash programme should only be
used for very dirty clothes.
• Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity.
• When the machine is not in use, keep the water tap closed.
• The appliance is not intended for use by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time,
unplug the appliance, close the water tap and leave the door ajar
to keep the inside of the machine dry and to prevent unpleasant
odours from developing.
• As a result of the quality control procedures during production, a
certain amount of water may remain in the appliance. This is normal
and does not signify a fault.
• Do not remove the rating plate. The information on it is important.
• This appliance should not be installed in locations where
the ambient temperature may fall below 0°C. Use in ambient
temperatures below 0°C may damage the machine.
8
• The most energy and water ecient wash programmes are
generally those that run at a low temperature and for a long time.
• Loading the washing machine to the full capacity indicated by the
manufacturer for the respective wash programmes will save energy
and water
Before first use
When your machine 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 machine
before any wash programmes are run.
Prior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have been
removed.
• Select the Cotton programme, set it to 90ºC and add a normal dose
of detergent into the detergent dispenser.
• Press the “Start / Pause” button.
Preparing garments for washing
• Wash lightly soiled garments using a short programme.
• Use a programme without prewash for medium-soiled garments.
• Wash heavily soiled garments using a long programme with suitable
detergent.
• Wash white and coloured loads separately.
• We recommend that small garments are placed in a wash bag.
• We recommend using the delicate programmes for sensitive fabrics.
9
• Separate clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic,
sensitive, woollen, etc.), required washing temperatures and level of
dirtiness.
• Since new coloured clothes may shed dye on the first wash, wash
them separately.
• Remove any metal pieces found on the items to be washed, for
example curtain hooks.
• Fasten all zips and buttons.
• Turn garments, such as knitted fabrics, inside out.
• Before placing the clothes in the drum, make sure all the pockets
are empty. Any small objects may block the drain pump.
• We recommend loading the machine to its full capacity for best
water and energy eciency.
• Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of
dierent 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 machine will therefore be
quieter.
10
Detergents and
additives
Your machine’s detergent
dispenser has three sections as
shown in figure 1.
Add the required amount of
detergent and fabric softener
into the specific sections of the
detergent dispenser before
starting the wash programme.
Note: Compartment 1 (Prewash)
is not used with any programmes
on this model (the dispenser is
generic).
The detergent dispenser is designed to allow the use of liquid
detergents rather than adding them to the drum. You should only
insert liquid detergent into the main wash detergent compartment
and ensure that concentrated liquid detergent is diluted with an equal
quantity of water before use.
• Liquid detergent should not be used on programmes when using
the delay timer.
• Do not exceed the “MAX” level in the fabric softener section and
ensure that concentrated fabric softeners are diluted before use
for best washing results and to help prevent clogging.
• Remember that the amount of detergent to be used will always
depend on:
• The amount of clothes to be washed.

• How heavily the clothes are soiled.
• The hardness of the water (Information on water hardness in your
area can be obtained from your local water board).
We recommend the use of a decalcifying product if the water
hardness is high in your area.
Eco note
The use of more detergent than necessary will not improve your
washing results. Many brands of detergent (and fabric softener/
conditioner) contain phosphates which escape sewage treatment
and can cause excessive algae growth in waterways. This in turn
can pollute drinking water and cause marine life ‘dead zones’
which are underwater environments deprived of oxygen that
are subsequently unable to support life. Please consider the
environment and try to source an environmentally friendly brand.
Loading the machine
- Open the door.
- Add the items to be washed (or dried) separately, ensuring they are
loaded evenly.
- When closing the door, ensure that no item is trapped between the
door and the door seal.
- Close the door securely, otherwise the programme will not start.

Care and maintenance
Before beginning any care or maintenance you should always
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, and also
turn o the water supply. If a programme has been run recently,
wait for the water in the appliance to cool down to prevent risk of
scalding.
Water inlet filters
There are filters on the tap side of the water inlet hose and at the end
of the water inlet valve. These filters prevent ingress of dirt or foreign
objects into the machine through the water supply. These filters
should be cleaned approximately once a year to ensure there is no
interruption in the water supply to the machine.
• Remove the water inlet hose.
• Remove the filter on the water inlet valve using pliers.
• Remove the filter on the tap end of the water inlet hose manually, as
well as the seal. Clean these.
• Clean the filters thoroughly using a brush.
• Replace the filters and seals carefully, in the same way as they were
removed.
Fig. 4 Fig. 5
23
Pump filter
The pump filter system helps to prevent the ingress of lint or foreign
objects into the drain pump, reducing the risk of damage. The pump
filter should be cleaned regularly, every two to three months at least.
To avoid injury, do not carry out this operation when the wash
water is at a temperature over 30ºC. Disconnect the appliance
from the power supply first.
To clean the filter (images on page 24):
• Unplug the appliance.
• Place a container under the filter to collect the flow of remaining
water from the machine.
• Loosen the filter cover by turning it slowly anti-clockwise until the
remaining water has drained away.
• When all the water has drained out of the machine, turn the filter
cover several times until the filter can be completely removed.
• Remove any objects caught in the filter and the housing.
• Clean the filter under running water.
• Refit the filter by turning it clockwise. Ensure the filter is properly
fitted.

Detergent drawer
Detergents may cause residue build
up in the detergent drawer and the
drawer housing over time. The drawer
should be cleaned regularly to remove
these residues. We also recommend you
leave the appliance door and dispenser
drawer open for a while after each wash.
This will ventilate the areas and help to
dry them out, helping to prevent midlew
and mould forming. Only do this if practical to do so and take care
around open doors. Warn others in the property of the hazard.
To remove the drawer:
• Pull the drawer out gently until it stops.
• To remove the drawer, press down on the blue syphon lid inside the
drawer and remove from the housing, as shown in figure 4.
• Wash the drawer and syphon lid using warm water and a brush,
ensuring all compartments are clean.
• Dry the drawer thoroughly and replace the syphon lid properly.
• Remove the residues from the drawer housing without letting them
fall into the machine.
• Replace the detergent drawer inside the housing, reversing the
steps above.
Please note - A dirty syphon will prevent the detergents from being
taken in and leave water inside the detergent drawer compartments
at the end of the wash.
Fig. 14
26
Cleaning the machine exterior
The exterior of the washing machine should be cleaned with warm
soapy water or a gentle cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaning
products or solvents.
It should then be dried thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Please note - wipe any detergent spills immediately to minimise the
risk of damage to the machine exterior.
The drum
Do not leave metal objects such as coins inside the drum, as these
can cause the formation of rust stains.
To remove rust stains, use a chlorine free cleaner and follow the
manufacturer’s warnings for the cleaner.
Never use abrasive products, such as scourers, to remove rust stains.
Limescale removal
If proprietary limescale removers are required, follow the
manufacturer’s warnings for the limescale remover.
Please note - Limescale removers contain acids which may aect the
colour in clothes, as well as damaging the appliance.
27
Practical information
Alcoholic beverages: The stain should first be washed with cold
water, then wiped with glycerine and water and be rinsed with water
mixed with vinegar.
Shoe Polish: The stain should be slightly scratched without ruining the
cloth, rubbed with detergent and rinsed. In case it is not eliminated, it
should be rubbed with 1 part of pure alcohol (96 degrees) mixed in 2
parts of water and then washed with lukewarm water.
Tea and coee: Stretch the stained area of your cloth on the top of
a container and pour through water as hot as the type of cloth can
endure. If the type of cloth is suitable, wash it with lye.
Chocolate and cocoa: Soak the item in cold water and rub with soap
or detergent, wash it in the highest temperature that the type of cloth
can endure. If there is still a stain left, wipe with oxygenated water (in
proportion of 3%).
Tomato paste: After scraping the dried pieces without ruining the
cloth, leave in cold water for about 30 minutes and wash by rubbing
with detergent.
Meat/soup/egg: Eliminate the dried stain residues and wipe with a
sponge or soft cloth dampened with cold water. Rub with detergent
and wash with diluted lye.
Grease and oil stains: First wipe the residues. Rub the stain with
detergent and then wash with lukewarm soapy water.
Mustard: First apply glycerine to the stained area. Rub with detergent
and then wash. If the stain still does not disappear, wipe with alcohol
(On synthetic and coloured cloth, a mixture of 1 part alcohol, 2 parts
water should be used).
Blood stain: Soak the item in cold water for 30 minutes. If the stain
still does not disappear, soak in a mixture of water and ammonia (3
28
table-spoons of ammonia in 4 litres of water) for 30 minutes.
Cream, ice-cream and milk: Soak the item in cold water and rub the
stained area with detergent. If the stain has still not disappeared,
apply diluted lye on the fabric. (Do not use lye on coloured clothes.)
Mould: Mould stains should be cleaned as soon as possible. The
stain should be washed with detergent, and if it does not disappear, it
should be wiped with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).
Ink: Hold the stained area under cold water and wait until the inky
water completely runs o. Then rub with lemon juice and detergent
diluted in water, wash after waiting for 5 minutes.
Fruit: Stretch the stained area of the item on the top of a container
and pour cold water on it. Do not pour hot water on the stain. Wipe
with cold water and apply glycerine. Wait for 1-2 hours and rinse after
wiping with a few drops of white vinegar.
Grass stain: Rub the stained part with detergent. If the type of fabric
is suitable for use of lye, wash it with lye. Rub your woollen items with
alcohol. (For colour, use a mixture of 1 part pure alcohol and 2 parts of
water).
Oil Paint: The stain should be eliminated before it dries by applying
thinner on it. Then it should be rubbed with detergent and washed.
Burnt stain: If your cloth is suitable for use of lye, you can add lye
into your washing water. For woollens, a cloth damped in oxygenated
water should be covered on the stain and it should be ironed with a
dry cloth on it. It should be washed after rinsing well.

Installation
This install is to be carried out by a minimum of two competent
personnel. Always wear adequate PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) such as gloves and safety boots and familiarise
yourself with your environment’s hazards.
Transit bolts, located at the rear of
the appliance, must be removed
prior to using the appliance to
prevent damage. There are four in
total.
• Remove the back cover from the machine.
• Loosen the transit bolts using a suitable spanner by turning them
anti-clockwise and then remove them.
• Remove the bolts and plastic spacers that were retained by the
transit bolts.
• Cover the bolt holes with the plastic plugs supplied.
Do not throw the transit bolts or plastic spacers away. If you need
to move the machine after installation you should first replace the
transit bolts and spacers.
Do not install your machine on rugs or similar surfaces.
For your machine to work quietly and without any vibration, it should
be installed on a flat, non-slippery and solid surface.
The machine must be positioned on a solid support, such as the bare
Fig. 15
33
floor or a well-fitting riser, ensuring the machine is unable to fall when
subjected to the typical vibrations generated by a machine.
The machine must not be fitted near heat sources, nor near
combustible materials such as coal or gas. Ensure that the power cord
is not trapped in any way.
Levelling
To reduce the noise from the
machine and to prevent unnecessary
movement during use, ensure the
machine is level, using the adjustable
feet.
First, fix and level the rear feet. When
they are properly fixed, secure the
metal locknut tightly against the underside of the machine.
• Put the machine into its required position.
• Then level the front feet in the same way as the rear feet.
Please note: Raising the machine too high can aect the stability
of the appliance.
Do not use wooden blocks, packaging or any similar means to
stabilise the appliance. Use only a flat, solid surface and the
appliance’s feet.

Connecting to the mains water supply
• Fit the seal included in the hose packing at the end of the water
inlet hose on the tap side.
• Connect the water inlet hose to a 3/4” BSP water tap. Then securely
tighten the connecting nut by hand.
• After connections are completed, check there are no leaks from the
connection joints by turning on your tap completely.
For your machine to work properly, the mains water pressure must
be between 0.05 and 1MPa (0.1 - 10 bar).
Drainage connection
• It is recommended that you have a fixed drainage outlet 80 to 100
cm from the floor (Fig. 17).
• Avoid the drain hose being too tight, kinked or restricted.
• The water outlet can either be connected to a water drain or to a
sink outlet spigot (ensure the spigot is cut/opened). This connection
should be a minimum of 80cm and a maximum of 100cm from the
floor. The drain hose should be no longer than 4m in length to
ensure good performance from the machine.
• 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.

Fitting the furniture (decor) door
The machine is supplied with a fitting template that aligns with the top
of the décor door and has arrows cut out of it that point toward the
door top. NOTE: If this template is aligned with the top of the décor
door, the resultant position will align the décor door top with the top of
the machine fascia.
The required height of the door top edge above the fascia panel,
and hence the gap between décor door and worktop, can only
be determined by the fitter after the final height adjustment of the
machine has been determined. The final positioning of the template
is therefore at the discretion of the fitter. The furniture door should
be fitted to the casing of the machine using the hinges supplied. Any
osets should be accounted for.
CHECK THAT THE DECOR DOOR ALIGNS PROPERLY BEFORE
DRILLING THE HINGE HOLES. RE-MARK IF NECESSARY.

Drill the hinge and catch holes as per the diagram on the bottom
of page 38. The sides that these holes shall need to be drilled will
depend upon the style of the decor door and the side that you wish
for it to be hinged upon. It is not uncommon for décor doors to have
these holes already drilled, particularly when they are reversible.
Fix the magnetic catch assembly receivers (Fig. 23, page 40) to the
front of the machine and the catch plates (CP in Fig. 22, page 40) to
the furniture door.
Provided all is properly aligned, fit the decor door (Fig. 24, page 40).
