Helpful hints and tips  
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast  
coloureds only).  
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast  
coloureds only).  
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone1), lay the  
garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.  
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains  
with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks with  
bleach.  
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with  
acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks  
with bleach.  
Sorting out the laundry  
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and  
the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry  
as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, wool-  
lens.  
Before loading the laundry  
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may  
lose their «whiteness» in the wash.  
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should  
therefore be washed separately the first time.  
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and  
poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.  
Remove persistent stains before washing.  
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or  
detergent paste.  
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first  
with acetone1), then with acetic acid; treat any residual  
marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thor-  
oughly.  
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them  
up in a bag or net.  
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits  
or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.  
Removing stains  
Detergents and additives  
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and de-  
tergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to  
washing.  
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains,  
soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub  
in the soap and water.  
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay  
the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several  
times.  
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the gar-  
ment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips  
and a cotton cloth.  
Good washing results also depend on the choice of deter-  
gent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and  
protect the environment.  
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances  
which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance  
of nature.  
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric  
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing  
temperature and degree of soiling.  
All commonly available washing machine detergents may  
be used in this appliance:  
• powder detergents for all types of fabric  
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and  
woollens  
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing  
product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are  
not recent since the cellulose structure will already have  
been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.  
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk  
10  
 
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash  
programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or spe-  
cial for woollens only.  
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quanti-  
ties to use.  
Use less detergent if:  
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-  
propriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before  
starting the wash programme.  
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash  
must be selected.  
• you are washing a small load  
• the laundry is lightly soiled  
• large amounts of foam form during washing.  
Degrees of water hardness  
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which  
allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.  
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on  
quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in  
the detergent dispenser drawer.  
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of  
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your  
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply com-  
pany, or from your local authority. If the water hardness  
degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water  
softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions.  
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity  
of the detergent.  
Quantity of detergent to be used  
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type  
of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the  
water used.  
First use  
• Ensure that the electrical and water connections  
comply with the installation instructions.  
• Remove the polystyrene block and any material

Care and cleaning  
Cleaning the drawer recess  
Warning! You must DISCONNECT the appliance  
from the electricity supply, before you can carry out  
any cleaning or maintenance work.  
Having removed the draw-  
er, use a small brush to  
clean the recess, ensuring  
that all washing powder  
residue is removed from  
the upper and lower part of  
the recess.  
Descaling  
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea  
to periodically use a water softening powder in the ma-  
chine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and  
according to the softening powder manufacturer's instruc-  
tions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime de-  
posits.  
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme with-  
out any clothes in the drum.  
External cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and  
water only, and then dry thoroughly.  
Cleaning the pump  
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly  
if:  
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;  
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining  
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking  
the pump;  
Cleaning the dispenser drawer  
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer  
should be cleaned regularly.  
• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter  
“What to do if...” for more details).  
Warning!  
Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.  
1.  
2. Do not remove the filter while the appliance oper-  
ates. Do not clean the drain pump if the water in the  
appliance is hot. The water must be cold before you  
clean the drain pump.

Problem  
Possible cause/Solution  
The drain hose is squashed or kinked.  
• Check the drain hose connection.  
The drain filter is clogged.  
• Clean the drain filter.  
An option or a programme that ends with the water still in the tub or a that  
eliminates all the spinning phases has been selected.  
The machine does not empty and/or  
does not spin:  
• Select the draining or spinning programme.  
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.  
• Redistribute the laundry.  
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been  
used.  
• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.  
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not  
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is  
damp.  
There is water on the floor:  
• Check the water inlet hose connection.  
The drain or inlet hose is damaged.  
• Replace it with a new one.  
The filter has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action.  
• Screw the filter fully in.  
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.  
• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.  
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

Problem  
Possible cause/Solution  
The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.  
• Check the correct installation of the appliance.  
The support feet have not been adjusted  
• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.  
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.  
The machine vibrates is noisy:  
• Redistribute the laundry.  
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.  
• Load more laundry.  
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is  
not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rota-  
tion of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disap-  
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still  
not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, re-  
distribute the load manually and select the spin programme.  
Spinning starts late or the machine  
does not spin:  
• Redistribute the laundry.  
The load is too small.  
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning  
programme.  
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise com-  
pared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and  
more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as  
increased stability of the machine.  
The machine makes an unusual  
noise:  
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very  
little water without affecting performance.  
No water is visible in the drum:  
If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact  
our service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the  
model, serial number and purchase date of your machine:  
the Service Centre will require this information.

Installation on suspended flooring  
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to  
vibration.  
To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a wa-  
terproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appli-  
ance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws, the  
wood panel must extend beyond the front feet.  
If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of  
the room, where the floor is more stable.  
Unscrew the three bolts.  
Slide out the relevant plas-  
tic spacers.  
Rubber feet kit (4055126249)

Caution! Before connecting up the appliance to new  
pipework or to pipework that has not been used for  
some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush  
out any debris that may have collected  
Positioning  
Caution! Do not use the hose from your previous  
appliance to connect to water supply.  
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air  
circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets,  
rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall  
or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by rais-  
ing or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as  
they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST  
be level and stable.  
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.  
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displace-  
ment of the machine during operation. Never place card-  
board, wood or similar materials under the machine to  
compensate for any unevenness in the floor.  
The inlet hose is screwed to the back of the appliance.  
Connect the hose to a tap  
with a 3/4” thread. Always  
use the hose supplied with  
the appliance.  
If necessary, check the  
setting with a spirit level.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the  
appliance can be turned as showed in the picture.  
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose  
to the left or right depending on the position of your  
water tap. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring  
nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten  
the ring nut again to prevent leaks.  
Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should  
have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm thus  
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose  
and standpipe.  
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top  
of the standpipe is no more than 90 cm (35.4'') and no  
less than 60 cm (23.6'') above floor level.

In the interest of the environment  
The appliance should be connected to the FOUL drainage  
system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for  
treatment before being discharged safely into a river.  
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to  
the surface water drainage system as this water is dis-  
charged directly into a river or stream and may cause pol-  
lution.  
The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted.  
In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug sup-  
plied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS1363/A) fuse must be  
used.  
Warning! A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp  
socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.  
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely. Should  
the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this  
MUST be carried out by our Service Force Centre. The  
appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply  
by means of an extension cable.
