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. Recommendations • • • • • • • • • Residues of detergent or softener left in the detergent drawer for long periods will dry and stick to the detergent drawer.
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.
Control Panel Display: shows the settings (spin speed, cycle status, timer, child lock on/off, maximum recommended weight). The settings can be modified using the buttons underneath.
Opening the Door The appliance is fitted with a safety device which prevents the door from being opened while a programme is in progress.

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. Cleaning the Outside of the Appliance • • • • • Regular, thorough cleaning will keep your appliance looking good. Clean the exterior of the appliance with soap and water only, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Door Seal Check regularly that there are no paper clips, buttons, nails or pins in the folds of the door gasket. Cleaning the Drain Pump The drain pump only needs cleaning if the water is not being pumped out efficiently. This may happen if it has been blocked by buttons, brooches or similar objects. In this case, proceed as described below. Remove the mains plug to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
• • • • • Clean the pump and remove any foreign bodies. Also check the inside “E”, making sure that the impeller turns freely; any foreign bodies stuck in it must be removed. Screw the cover back on the pump. Secure the drain house by snapping the plug back into place "C". Fit the bottom of the plinth first. Push it towards the cabinet and put the plugs back into place. Cleaning the Detergent Drawer The detergent drawer should be kept clean, removing all solid deposits.
Water intake 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. 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 filters on the water inlet valves using pliers.
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 washing soda. 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.
Burnt Stain: If your cloth is suitable for use of washing soda, you can add it 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. Troubleshooting Error Display In event of a malfunction the machine will identify the problem by showing an error code on the display Error Code Suggested Action Door not closed properly: Try reclosing it.
Troubleshooting Table Below is a list of some of the possible malfunctions. If the problem cannot be resolved as described, contact Customer Services.
Installation Transit bolts and plastic spacers, located at the rear of the appliance, must be removed prior to using the appliance to prevent damage. • • • Loosen the transit bolts using a 10mm spanner by turning them anticlockwise and then remove them. Remove the plastic spacer secured by each transit bolt. Fit the plastic blanking plugs (supplied) to seal the bolt holes against water ingress. Warning: Do not turn the machine upside down or lie it on its side.
Leveling 1. On appliances with adjustable rear feet, note that the rear of the appliance (as supplied) rests on skids and not on the feet. 2. Before positioning the washing machine, check that the rear feet are screwed fully in, to prevent damage as the appliance is shifted into position. 3. Once the appliance is in its position, the height of the rear feet has to be increased so that the appliance no longer stands on the skids. 4.
Connecting to the Mains Water Supply 1. Check that the water supply pressure is in the range: 0.11.0MPa. With higher pressures, use a pressure reducer. 2. Connect the cold water supply hose (blue screw collar) to the cold water tap with ¾” gas threaded connector, taking care to tighten firmly to prevent leaks. The water supply hose must not be kinked or crushed and must not be changed or cut. Threaded connections must only be tightened by hand.
• 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. Electrical Information Warning! This appliance must be earthed.
Important: Do not use the appliance without the fuse cover in position. 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.
