65 - 100 cm
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp
fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp
socket for immediate use. Before using the
appliance please read the instructions below.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
The drain hose may
be connected to
an under-sink trap.
Before connecting
the drain hose from
the machine ensure
that any blanks or
removable ends have
been taken off the
spigot.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD
BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRI-
CIAN.
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be
used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
replacement is obtained.
Where it connects to
the waste water pipe
cut end off spigot or
remove the blanking cap
Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be
of the correct colour as indicated by the colou-
red marking or the colour that is embossed in
words on the base of the plug. Replacements
can be obtained directly from your nearest
Service Depot.
If it is placed over
the edge of a basin
or sink be sure the
free end of the hose
should not be under-
water.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moul-
ded plug and you should wish to re-route the
mains cable through partitions, units etc.,
please ensure that either:
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere
rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of ap-
proval.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions;
in case of absolute need, the extension must
have the same diameter as the original hose
and must not exceed 150 cm in length.
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into
a standpipe, that the end does not go down
more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pu-
shed down too far, this may cause the machine
to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is
filling.
or:
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13
amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in
compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible
without moving the appliance.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,
you make the pins unusable so that it cannot
be accidentally inserted into a socket.

Caring for the door and drum of
GB
your appliance
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-
side the washing machine and help to prevent
leaks.
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning
it and during all maintenance work.
The washing machine is fitted with a self-clea-
ning pump which does not require any mainte-
nance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins
or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.
Cleaning the washing machine
• The outer parts and rubber components
of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft
cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not
use solvents or abrasives.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.
• The washing machine has a “Auto Clean”
programme for its internal parts that must be
run with no load in the drum.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. using a screwdri-
ver, remove the cover

stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt
to repair it yourself.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while
it is operating.
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two
or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make
sure the drum is empty.
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure,
until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull
downwards and open the door at the same time.
Disposal
•Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regu-
lations so that the packaging may be re-used.
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely
in place before you push it onto the appliance.
•The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the im-
pact on human health and the environment. The crossed
out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it
must be separately collected. Consumers should contact
their local authority or retailer for information concerning the
correct disposal of their old appliance.

guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving. Use this
cycle for lightly soiled garments.
The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the
water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to
the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified
wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash
results in the same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of

ideal for washing the most difficult daily stains in just over
an hour. It is ideal for mixed fabrics and coloured gar-
ments, caring for your clothes as it washes.
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily
result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause a
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmental pollution.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for
pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
Cottons 20°
(3rd press of the button): this programme
is ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads. The effective
performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which
are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a
mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with
repeated and frequent peaks.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Steam Refresh: this programme refreshes garments by
removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres (2 kg, roughly
3 items). Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and select
programme . The garments will be damp once the cycle
is completed, so we recommend hanging them to dry. The

Preparing the laundry
Delicates: use programme
to wash very delicate
• Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and
sequins.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”,
which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle
and set the “Delicate” level from option “Cleaning Action”.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before
washing and placing small items into the special bag
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate
garments for best results.
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load
is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced
spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the
washing machine performs the distribution process instead
of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and
balance, we recommend small and large garments are
mixed in the load.
Special wash cycles
Anti Stain
(1st press of the button): this programme is sui-
table to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It
ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard
class (A class). When running the programme, do not mix
garments of different colours. We recommend the use of
powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is
recommended if there are obstinate stains.

The wash cycle does not start.
• The door is not closed properly.
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.
• A delayed start has been set (see “Running a wash cycle”).

• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.
• There is no water supply to the house.
• The inlet valve filter is blocked.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).
• The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run
into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of
the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.
• The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the
‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not drain or spin • The Pump filter is blocked.
or F05 error code in the display.
• The drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).
• New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if con-
nected under a sink.
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.
• The wash cycle does not include draining, some wash cycles require the drain
phase to be started manually.
• The ‘Spin Speed’ is in the “OFF” position.
The machine does not heat or poor • The ‘Temperature’ is in the “OFF” position.
wash results.
The programme takes too long
or The Display changes the estima-
ted ‘Time to End’ during the pro-
gramme.
• Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water tempera-
ture and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme
times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’ below).
The machine vibrates a lot during
the spin cycle.
• The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.
• New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the
Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.
• The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.
• The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at
a lower speed.
13
The machine is noisy.
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.
GB
The machine wont spin properly.
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load
required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase
the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt,
etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.
The machine leaks from the di-
spenser.
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap
on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.
The machine leaks (other than
dispenser).
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill
hose is missing the rubber washer.
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.
The indicator lights on the console
are flashing rapidly.
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then
switch it back on again If the problem persists contact the Technical Assistance
Service.
The machine smells.
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a “Auto Clean” wash cycle with
detergent and no laundry.
The machine door cannot be
opened.
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after
the program has finished.
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.
The water level is too low when
the machine is washing.
There is too much foam.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text
‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).
• Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.
After completing the programme,
or before starting a programme,
the machine has turned itself off
(no lights).
• To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.
General.
• Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/pro-
gress).
Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to
be anything wrong!
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed
above.
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine
washable.
