that it has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions and all the water, drainage, mains electricity and earth connections meet the local regulations and/or other applicable regulations. Important: Ensure that the transit bolts have been removed prior to using the machine.

ambient temperatures below 0°C may damage the machine. 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. Prior to pre-cleaning you should ensure the transit bolts have been removed.
• • 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. Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of different 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 washing machine will therefore be quieter.
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). We recommend the use of a decalcifying product if the water hardness is high in your area.

feature that reduces the wash time and energy consumption when the load in the drum is less than half the capacity for the chosen programme.

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. To Clean the Filter: • • • • • • • Open the kickplate cover by pulling down on the lug 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 syphon lid inside the drawer and remove from the housing. • Lift the syphon lid upwards to remove it. • Wash the drawer and siphon lid using warm water and a brush, ensuring all compartments are clean.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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 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 back 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, threaded water tap, then securely tighten the connecting nut by hand. • After connections are completed, check for leaks at the connection joints by turning the tap full on. For your washing machine to work properly, the mains water pressure must be between 0.1 and 1MPa (0.1 - 10 bar).
