Choose the right program
You can save considerable energy by not using ’stronger’ programs
than necessary.
• Press the -button to save water.
• Press the Economy button and reduce the temperature to save
energy.
• Use the higher spin speed, to remove the maximum amount of
water, so reducing the energy required in subsequent tumble drying.
Detergent
Using more detergent does not improve the washing performance, but
merely imposes an extra load on the environment.
Try reducing the amount of detergent you use, and increase it only if
the results are unsatisfactory.

4. Add the detergent and fabric
conditioner (if used) to their
respective compartments.
How much detergent should I use?
Detergent packets indicate the quantities that should be used. The machine has a capacity of 4.5 kg of
washing. If you have only a small load, you can reduce the amount of detergent.
Powder detergents
Follow the instructions on the packet.
Tip the powder into the pre-wash and
main wash compartments.
Liquid detergents
Pour liquid detergent directly into
the main wash compartment, just
like a powder detergent.
You can use thin liquid detergent
only with the main wash, and not
with the pre-wash. This means that
you must use programs 2, 3 or 4.
Adding it for program 1 will mean
that it is rinsed away with the prewash water.
If you are using a detergent ball
or dosing bag, load it with the
washing and select programs 2, 3
or 4.

Fabric conditioner
Pour the fabric conditioner into the
insert in the left-hand compartment.
Follow the instructions on the container, but do not fill to above the level of
the syphon lip. If you do, the syphon
will immediately discharge the conditioner into the main or pre-wash and
degrade washing performance.
Clean the detergent
compartment regularly
1. Pull out the compartment and
remove the fabric conditioner

Pre-wash
• The Wool program cannot be modified by the option buttons, except for (no spin).
• The main wash water is always cooled by the admission of cold water before pumping out in order
to prevent risk of scalding, shrinking and wrinkling.
• Before starting to spin, the machine checks that the load is evenly distributed in the drum. If not, it
redistributes the load by turning at normal drum speed and then makes another attempt to start
spinning.

User -Maintenance Instructions – Care of the machine
Check the needle trap and outlet pump
The machine has a needle trap which
will trap needles, hairpins, coins and
similar items. Clean it at intervals as
follows:
1. Open the lower cover in front of the
pump, pull the small drain hose and
drain off water into a shallow bowl
after removing the plug from the end
of the hose (1).
2. Turn the pump cover anticlockwise to
the position shown in (2). This uncovers the drain holes and water will
run out into the bowl.
3. When the water has finished draining
out, turn the pump cover further and
pull it off. Clean out the needle trap,
and clean the pump rotor at the back
of the pump housing (3).
4. Check that there is no grit or small
objects in the pump, and replace the
pump cover. Turn it clockwise in two
stages: when you hear a click, turn it
a little more to its end stop, as shown
in (4).

power supply is connected).
2. If the indicator lamp is not lit, there is no power supply. Check the plug and
fuses. The door cannot be opened normally if there is no power supply.
3. If the door cannot be opened in the normal manner, it can be opened as
follows:
• Remove the lower front panel.
• Unscrew the plastic ring and pull. Then the door opens.
• Replace the ring and the front panel.
If the door still cannot be opened in the normal way afterwards, call a

The shipping brace consists of two tubes
which prevent the drum from moving
around inside the machine during
transport. The tubes are secured to a
cross beam at the back of the machine.
Remove the shipping brace as follows:
1. Remove the bolts and special
washers which retain the beam,
and remove the beam.
2. Replace the washers on the
flattened part of the tubes.
Use them as tools to turn the
tubes through about 45°, as
shown in the drawing, and
pull out the tubes.
3. Turn the washers

Adjusting the feet
It is important that the machine
does not move around when it is
spinning. This means that it must
be standing firmly and level on the
floor. The four feet are individually
adjustable. Set them carefully so
that the machine is standing level,
and tighten the locknuts securely.
Positioning the machine
The machine can be installed beneath a
worktop with a height of 850–900 mm.

The water supply connections must be made by
a person having the necessary competence.
Water pressure must be in the range 0.1–1 MPa
(ca 1–10 kp/cm2, 10–100 N/cm2, 15–142 PSI).
A tap must be fitted in the supply pipe for the
hose.
If a new supply pipe has been installed for the
machine, it should be flushed through thoroughly
in order to remove any particles of dirt which
might otherwise block the strainer in the water
inlet of the machine.
Shut-off taps
Hot water supply
Cold water supply
Drain outlet connection
The machine is supplied with the outlet hose
ready fitted. The hose should be hung over a
suitable sink edge or drain pipe at a height of
