Safety warnings • If the plug or cord are damaged, do not connect the appliance to the mains power supply. If the cord is damaged it should be replaced by the manufacturer or appointed service agent in order to avoid a hazard. • To remove the plug from the socket, pull on the body of the plug, not the cable. • Do not plug the appliance in to the mains power supply with wet or damp hands. • Never touch the appliance with wet hands or feet.
Warnings To avoid the risk of fire, electric shocks, injury or damage when using your washing machine, please take the following precautions: • Please read all the instructions before using the washing 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.
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.
Before first use When your washing 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 washing machine before any wash programmes are run. rior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have been P removed. • Select the Cotton 95ºC programme and add a normal dose of detergent into the detergent dispenser.
• 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 washing machine to its full capacity for best water and energy efficiency.
Detergents and additives Your washing 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. The detergent dispenser is designed to allow the use of liquid detergents rather than adding them to the drum. You should ensure that you insert the liquid detergent level plate supplied in the detergent section before adding the liquid detergent.
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. 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).

Care and maintenance Before beginning any care or maintenance, you should always disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, and also turn off 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 ends of the water inlet valves. These filters prevent ingress of dirt or foreign objects into the machine through the water supply.
Pump filter The pump filter system prevents 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. fig. 4 To clean the filter: • Open the kickplate cover by pulling down on the groove at the top of the cover. • Place a container under the filter cover to collect the flow of the remaining water from the machine.
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. To remove the drawer: • Pull the drawer out until it stops. • To remove the drawer, press down on the siphon lid inside the drawer and remove from the housing, as shown in figure 5. • Lift the siphon lid upwards to remove it, as shown in figure 6.
Cleaning the washing 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 washing machine exterior. The drum Do not leave metal objects such as coins inside the drum, as these can cause the formation of rust stains.
Practical information Alcoholic beverages: The stain, should first be washed with cold water, than 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 unit of pure alcohol (96 degrees) mixed in 2 units of water and then washed with lukewarm water.
Practical information Blood stain: Lay your clothes in cold water for 30 minutes. If the stain still does not disappear, lay in mixture of water and ammonia (3 table-spoons of ammonia in 4 litres of water) for 30 minutes. Cream, ice-cream and milk: Lay your clothes in cold water and rub the stained area with detergent. If the stain has still not disappeared, apply lye on the fabric of your clothes in proper proportion. (Do not use lye on coloured clothes.
Installation Transit bolts, located at the rear of the appliance, must be removed prior to using the appliance to prevent damage. • Loosen the transit bolts using a suitable spanner by turning them anticlockwise and then remove them. • Cover the holes with the plastic plugs supplied. Do not throw the transit bolts away. If you need to move the washing machine after installation you should first replace the transit bolts. Do not install your machine on rugs or similar surfaces.
Levelling To reduce the noise level from the washing machine and to prevent unnecessary movement during use, ensure the washing 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 washing machine. • Put the washing machine into its required position. • Then level the front feet in the same way as the front 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, geared water tap. Then securely tighten the connecting nut by hand. • After connections are completed, check for the non-leakage of the connection joints by turning on your tap completely. For your washing machine to work properly, the mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1MPa (0.1 - 10 bar).
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. The mains lead of this appliance has been fitted with a BS 1363A 13 amp fused plug.
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.
