Page 12
Preparing the wash cycle
Preparing your garments for washing
o Your washing should be sorted out, according to
the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is
printed on the garment’s wash care label (see
separate section on wash care symbols).
o Your washing should also be sorted out according to the degree
of soiling.
o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are
empty.
o Remove any detachable metal items (badges,
paperclips, safety pins etc).
o Zips should be closed, duvet covers and pillow cases should be
buttoned up and any loose straps should be tied up. This will
help to prevent other garments from getting damaged during the
wash.
o Woollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out
before being washed in the appliance.
o Small delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in
either a washing net or a zipped pillow case.
o Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks
or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the
appliance.
o Coloured items and whites should be washed in
separate wash cycles.
o New garments often contain an excess of dye, therefore it is
advisable to wash them separately for their first wash.
o Garments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed
inside the machine.

Detergents and conditioners
IMPORTANT: Only detergents suitable for use in washing
machines should be used.
The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will
depend on
o The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general
require less detergent.
o The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a
reduction in the amount of detergent.
o The hardness of your tap water. The harder your water is,
then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent
manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra
detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the
water.
13
Page 14
Liquid detergent
If you are using liquid detergent, then in the majority of cases the
liquid should be placed inside the dosing device supplied by the
detergent manufacturer and placed inside the drum. All instructions on
the detergent packaging should be followed.
Low temperatures
o The enzymes in biological washing detergents work best at low
temperatures to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal
results, but not as low as 20°C.
o Liquid or gel detergents are particularly suitable for low
temperature washing as they dissolve easier and quicker than
powders or tablets.
Water softening agents
If your tap water is hard, then it may be prudent to utilise a water
softening agent. This will help to ensure that the appliance does not
become clogged with hard water depo sits. You may al so find that it will
allow you to lessen the amount of detergent that you are using.
When using any detergent or water softening
agent, the recommendations of the
manufacturers should be followed.

Maintenance and cleaning
In daily use
o Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the
detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out.
o Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a wash cycle
has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and
to protect the door seal.
o After each washing program has finished, wipe up the remaining
water on the rubber seal ring and seal fold to prevent any
mildew and rot.
o Close the water tap.
o We suggest that you disconnect the appliance from your mains
supply, when it is not in use.
Control panel and washing machine cabinet.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive cleaner or household polish on
either the control panel or operating parts.
o Wipe over the control panel and the external surface of the
machine using a brand new damp cloth with warm water.
o If you ever spill any liquid detergent or conditioner from the
detergent drawer onto the washing machine cabinet, then these
should be cleaned up immediately as they could be corrosive.
Detergent drawer
Occasionally the detergent drawer should be cleaned, to remove any
detergent residue that has built up.
o Press the detergent drawer limit part and
pull out the drawer at the same time to remove
from the machine.
o Remove the central conditioner hole plastic
cover by unclipping it at the back.
o Clean the whole drawer thoroughly.
21
Page 22
o Detergent can also accumulate inside the
detergent drawer recess, so you should also clean
this out using warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
o Once you have finished cleaning the
detergent drawer and recess, you should reattach the conditioner cover and slide the drawer
back into its original position.
The washing machine drum
The drum of your washing machine is constructed from stainless steel.
However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then
it is possible for the drum to become stained.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a descaling agent, iron/steel wool or
scouring agents to clean the drum of your appliance.
o Remove any rust stains on the drum with an appropriate
stainless steel cleaning agent.
Door
o You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed,
or there are any foreign bodies inside or underneath the rubber
door gasket. This sits inside the opening of the porthole door.
Cleaning the drain pump filter
IMPORTANT: Switch off your washing machine and disconnect the
plug from your mains supply.
You should clean out the filter approximately every ten washes.
If the drain pump filter is not cleaned regularly, then your
appliance may find it difficult to pump out water efficiently.
1) Open the service panel and place a
container close to collect any water
spillage.
2) When no more water drains out,
unscrew the pump cover and remove it.
22
Page 23
Always keep a cloth nearby to dry up any water spillage when
removing the cover. Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
3) Screw the pump cover fully back on.
4) Close the service panel.
IMPORTANT: Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle.
Always wait until the appliance has finished a wash cycle and is empty.
When replacing the cover, ensure it is fully tightened to prevent leaks
and to prevent children being able to remove it.
IMPORTANT: If you are draining water from the bail hose and drain
pump filter in an emergency. You should take care as the water
coming from the machine mid-cycle could be hot. Especially if the
water is being drained in the middle of one of the hotter wash cycles.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
23
Page 24
o Clean the filter approximately every 6 months, when water leaks
from the water inlet, or if there are frequent interruptions to
your water supply.
o Always pull the power plug out before cleaning.
1) Unscrew the inlet water pipe.
1) Use long-nose pliers to remove the water
inlet filter
2) Clean carefully with a gauze brush and then
replace.
Winter storage
o You should install your appliance in a location where it will not be
subjected to freezing temperatures.
o If you are going to store your appliance in a location where the
temperature will drop below freezing in winter, then you should
follow the table below.
To winterize the washer To use the washer again
Turn off the water supply.
Disconnect and drain the water
inlet hoses.
Run the washer on a drain and
spin setting for one minute.
Unplug the power supply cord.
Removing stains
Flush the water pies
and hoses.
Reconnect the water
inlet hoses.

supply.
Reconnect the power
supply cord.
24
Page 25
Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may
need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the
washing machine.
o Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like blood, milk or
grass.
o Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash.
Stain removal rules
o Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot
water can set stains.
o Most stains are easier t o re move when they are fresh.
o Before treating any stain try to establish; what kind of stain it is,
how old the stain is, what the fabric type is and whether the fabric
is colourfast (check the care label to find this out).
o Washing and drying can fix some stains.
o When bleach is recommended, use a mild fabric bleach that is safe
for the fabric.
o If you need to use a stain remover, put the stained area face down
on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the
back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric, instead of
through it.

Poor wash results
My garments are looking grey and there are limescale
deposits present in the drum of my washing machine.
o There is not enough detergent being added.
o The incorrect detergent is being used.
o Stains are not being pre-treated.
o The correct wash program or wash temperature was not
selected.
I have followed the advice given above, but my
garments are still coming out with grey stains on them.
o The garments are soiled with oils, ointments or grease and
were washed without enough detergent.
o The wash temperature selected was too low.
o Fabric conditioner has come into contact with the garments. If
this happens try to wash out these stains as quickly as you
can and try to avoid getting conditioner on the garments in
future.
After the final rinse, I can still see foam.
o Modern detergents can result in there still being foam in the
final rinse, this does not mean that the washing is not being
rinsed properly.
There is white residu e on my garments when I remove
them from the appliance.
o Modern detergents can contain insoluble contents; white
residue after a wash cycle is not necessarily a sign of the
garments being insufficiently rinsed by the washing machine.
o You should shake out the garment or brush it off. In future
possibly turn the garment inside out before it is washed. You
may wish to move from a powder detergent and switch to a
liquid detergent instead.

Locating your washing machine
o Before commencing installation, check
the location where you intend to install the
appliance. You should make sure that you
have everything in place that is necessary for
the correct installation.
o Do not place or store your washing machine in a location where
the ambient temperature could fall below 0°C, otherwise the
water in it could freeze up.
o Never place or store laundry products on top of the appliance.
o Install the washer on a flat, solid floor. If the washer is installed
on an uneven or suspended floor, it could cause excessive noise
and severe vibration, which may result in the malfunction of the
appliance.
o You should also level off the washing machine, using the
adjustable feet on the base of the appliance.
o There should be a gap of 2 cm either side of the washing
machine; a 10 cm gap should be left behind the appliance.

Connecting to the mains water supply
IMPORTANT: The washing machine should never be connected to the
water mains using an existing inlet hose, YOU MUST utilise the inlet
hose that is provided with the appliance.
Your appliance should only be connected to a cold water supply.
1) Take out the attached inlet hose.
2) Attach the inlet hose vertically to the spiral tap
for the washing machine.
3) Screw the tap tightly in the direction of the screw
thread of the inlet hose.
4) Connect the hose to the water
inlet at the back of the washing
machine.
IMPORTANT: When connecting the screw thread of the inlet
hose and the inlet valve, prevent the screw thread from being
secured incorrectly or it will wear or leak.
30
Page 31
Do not over bend the inlet hose or this will cause damage.
Connecting to the water outlet
1) Please use an elbow to bend the drain hose at a proper angle
and fix securely.
2) The correct position of
the drain hose is one which
will prevent any water
leaking onto the floor or
other surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Do not insert the drain hose too deeply int o the
water pipe, as this may cause siphoning.
3) To prevent siphoning, the installation height of the drain hose
should be betwee n 0.6 – 1 m and th e end of the d rain hos e should no t
be immersed in water.
NEVER EXTEND THE DRAINAGE HOSE FROM ITS ORIGINAL
LENGTH.

Levelling the appliance
o Place the washing machine on a solid and level floor surface.
DO NOT PLACE THE WASHING MACHINE ON A CARPET OR A
SUSPENDED FLOOR.
o If the floor is obviously uneven, the appliance needs to be
adjusted to prevent the drum from inclining or the machine from
moving while in use. Use the adjustable feet to level the
appliance.
1) Unscrew the adjusting nut (1) with
a spanner.
2) Adjust the height of the legs using
the foot (2).
3) Screw the nut (1) to secure the
levelling foot.
IMPORTANT: There should be no
instability of the machine when the
adjustable legs have been set to the
correct level.
Power supply
IMPORTANT:The
electrical socket must still
be accessible once the
appliance is installed.
Consult the rating plate BEFORE making the electrical
connections. Ensure that the voltage reaching the plug, is the
same as that on the rating plate.
DO NOT REMOVE THE RATING PLATE AS THE
INFORMATION ON IT IS IMPORTANT.
32
Page 33
The moulded plug that is supplied with the appliance must be
o
placed into an earthed and insulated socket.

drum,
o The appliance will redistribute the laundry by
reversing the drum rotation. This may take
several attempts before the laundry is evenly
distributed and normal spinning can resume.
o If the laundry is still not evenly distributed after
10 minutes, the machine will not spin. In the
event of this, redistribute the load manually and
select the program again.
