Extra rinse button
This button will program the machine to add an
additional rinse to the cycle. This function is ideal for
people with sensitive skin as it removes more of the
detergent from washing. It is advisable to use this
function for very dirty loads where extra detergent has
been used. This option can be used only on some
programs.
Cold wash button
This button allows you to change every program into a
cold washing cycle without altering other characteristics
of the cycle such as water level, time and features.
Spin speed button
The spin cycle is important to remove as much water as
possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics.
You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to reduce
the maximum speed, by pressing the spin speed button.
The machine is fitted with an imbalance control system
to cancel the spin cycle if the load is unbalanced. This
reduces the noise and vibration in the machine and so
prolongs the life of your appliance.
You can select this symbol to choose “No Spin”.

12
Detergent drawer
Pre wash section
This compartment should have detergent placed in it, if you are going
to select a wash program that has a pre wash as part of it.
Main wash section
This compartment should have detergent placed in it (you should also
put a water softening agent in this section, if you use one). The
detergent will be added to the drum at the start of the main wash
program.
Conditioner section
This compartment should be used for liquid conditioners (fabric
softener, starch). They will be added to the wash load during the final
rinse.
IMPORTANT: Only liquid products should be used in the
conditioner compartment. The machine is programmed to
automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for
all wash cycles.
o If liquid detergents are used,
insert the special container
supplied into the compartment
labelled “II”.
o This ensures that the liquid
detergent enters the drum at
13
the right stage of the wash cycle.
o Some detergents are difficult to utilise so
an in drum dispenser should be used if
recommended by the detergent
manufacturer.
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.
14
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.
15
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.
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. 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 deposits. You may also 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.

Program description
o The cotton program is designed for maximum washing and
rinsing efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the program
guarantees the laundry is rinsed thoroughly. The final spin cycle
ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the
maximum speed.
o The 90°C+Pre cotton program automatically includes a pre-
wash.
o The main wash and rinse gives the best results due to the
rotation rhythms of the drum and the water levels.
o A gentle spin ensures the fabrics become less creased.
o This cycle alternates washing and soaking and is recommended
for very delicate fabrics.
o The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels
to ensure best results.
18
o This cycle enables you to thoroughly wash woollen garments
without damaging them.
o The cycle consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses.
o This program allows a complete washing cycle for garments
specified as “Hand-wash only” and laundry items made from silk
on the fabric label.
o This cycle has a maximum temperature of 30°C and concludes
with 3 final rinses and a slow spin.
o This program carries out 3 rinses with an intermediate spin
which can be reduced or excluded using the spin speed button.
o The cycle can be used for rinsing any type of fabric or after
hand-washing. This program can also be used as a bleaching
cycle.
o The spin program carries out a maximum spin which can be
reduced using the spin speed button.
o This program drains out the water.
o This program enables you to wash together different types of
fabrics e.g. cotton and synthetic fast coloureds.
19
o The cycle washes with considerable energy saving by using a
temperature of 40°C and alternating spin action with soaking
phases.
o IMPORTANT: The first washing of new coloured fabrics
must be done separately. You should NEVER mix non-fast
coloured fabrics.
o The 30 minute rapid program allows a complete washing cycle to
be carried out in approximately 30 minutes with a temperature
of 30°C.
o When using this cycle it is recommended to use only 20% of the
recommended quantities shown on the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions.
Wash program guidance
o The washing machine automatically selects a spin speed for a
particular wash program. However it is possible to reduce the spin
speed by using the spin speed button.
o Important: You should make sure that the selected spin speed is
appropriate for the garments that you are washing.
o If you use the spin reduction feature, you can make the machine
not go into a spin cycle. If you pick this option, then the machine
will stop with water in the drum.
o Important: Before opening the door of the appliance, you MUST
select the drain program to clear this water.
o The remaining time display shows an approximate time remaining
for the selected wash cycle. Please note that factors external to the
machine, e.g. the temperature of your water supply, your water
pressure etc. can affect the time it takes for the wash cycle to
complete.
20
Selecting a wash program
o Load your laundry and put detergent in the relevant
compartment of the soap drawer.
o Close the porthole door firmly.
o Select the most appropriate wash program for the garments that
you are washing, by turning the program selection knob.
o Select any program options by using the easy iron button, extra
rinse button or cold wash button.
o Any program option that you select, will affect the length of time
that the wash cycle will take to complete.
o Alter the spin speed, if required, using the spin speed
button.
o Press the Start / Pause button.
o After approximately 5 seconds, you will hear your washing
machine start the wash cycle.
o If there is a power failure or the plug is pulled out of the
socket when a wash cycle is in progress, once power has
been restored, the wash program will continue.
o Whilst the wash program is in progress, the time remaining to
the end of the wash cycle will appear on the display.
Cancelling or pausing a wash program
o To stop a wash program once a wash cycle is in progress,
you should press and hold the Start / Pause button for
about 2 seconds.
o To cancel the program, turn the program selection knob to the
OFF position.
o If you wish to add or remove items the door will remain locked
for two minutes before it is possible to open the door.
o Close the door and press the Start / Pause button to continue
the wash cycle.
21
Before opening the porthole door, you MUST
drain the appliance; otherwise there may still
be water in the drum when you open the
door.
Delay start feature
Your appliance has a delay start feature, which allows you to pause
the start of a wash cycle until a later time. You can delay the start
time by 3, 6 or 9 hours.
o Follow the process listed under “Selecting a wash program”.
o Before pressing the Start / Pause button, you should
select the length of time that you want to delay the wash
program for by pressing the delay start button. The
relevant LED will light on the display to show the set delay time.
o Press the Start / Pause button to begin the delay countdown.
The indicator light for the chosen delay time will stop blinking
and remain on.
o At the end of the required delay time, the chosen program will
begin.
o To cancel a time delay that has been set, you should press and
hold the delay start button until the indicator light goes OFF and
the stop light blinks.
o You can then start the program manually by pressing the Start /
Pause button or switch the appliance off by turning the program
selection knob to the OFF position.
Saving energy when using your washing machine
o To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent, we
recommend that you put a full load in your washing machine but
without exceeding the recommended maximum load size. Up to
50% of energy saving can be made with one full load compared
to two half load washes.
o Only use the pre-wash function with particularly dirty loads.
Energy savings of 5% to 15% can be made by not selecting the
pre-wash option for normal soiled laundry.
o Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need
to wash at temperatures over 60°C. Energy savings of up to
22
50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather
than 90°C.
Automatic consumption reduction
o The washing machine is fitted with an automatic consumption
reduction system which enables the machine to use the amount
of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the
particular load size.
o This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and
electricity needed to heat it to the minimum temperature
required without compromising the washing and rinsing
performance in any way.
o The amount of water and electricity used will always be
appropriate for the amount of laundry which ensures you achieve
excellent washing results whilst respecting the environment and
saving money.
Removing stains
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 to remove 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
23
the back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric, instead
of through it.

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 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.
25
Detergent drawer
Occasionally the detergent drawer should be cleaned.
o Pull the detergent drawer out as far as it will go and then
remove the drawer by pulling firmly.
o Use warm water and a brush to thoroughly clean the three
compartments of the detergent drawer.
o Clean the area that the detergent drawer slides into with a
brush.
o Replace the detergent drawer by placing it back into the slot.
Then push the drawer fully back into 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.

o You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed,
or there are any foreign bodies in the rubber door gasket. This
sits inside the opening of the porthole door.
o Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of
soiling and residues from the water can result in water leaking
from the door.
26
90 degree maintenance wash
The warm and damp environment of a washing machine can lead to a
bacteria build up inside of the machine and in extreme cases you may
even get a “sludge” like material building. To prevent this from
happening, you should do the following:-
o Leave the door ajar for a few minutes after the wash cycle has
completed.
o Once a month, set your appliance on a 90 degree wash.
o You should not put clothing inside the appliance for this
maintainence wash.
o You should use a wash powder that contains a bleaching agent
(i.e. not a wash powder that is only suitable for washing
coloured garments).
Cleaning the filter
o The washing machine is fitted with a
special filter for catching large
deposits which could block the
discharge hose such as coins, buttons
etc… so they can be easily retrieved.
o Before removing the filter, place a
towel below the filter cap to collect
the small amount of water likely to be
inside the pump.
o Turn the filter anti-clockwise until it
stops in the vertical position. Remove
and clean the filter.
o After cleaning, replace it by turning
the notch on the end of the filter
clockwise.
27
Long periods of not in use
o If the appliance is being
transported or is out of use for
long periods in unheated places,
all remaining water must be
completely removed from the
hoses.
o Ensure the mains power is off
and then unclip the hose and
point it downwards into a basin
until all the water has emptied
out.

drained away.
2) No Spin option selected
Machine vibrates a lot
during the spin.
Door will not open. 1) 2 minutes have not elapsed
The machine makes a
different noise when
spinning.
Only a small level of water
can be seen in the drum.
1) Washing machine not
completely level
2) Transit bolts not
removed yet
3) Load not distributed
evenly
since the program finished
This is due to the brush motor
which ensures better
performance.
Water level automatically set
according to the load size so
may seem less than usual.
1) Wait 2 minutes
N/A
N/A
for machine to
empty
2) Choose a spin
speed using the
spin speed control
knob (H)
1) Alter the adjustable
feet
2) Remove the transit
bolts
3) Rearrange the
laundry evenly
IMPORTANT: Your appliance has an unbalance control system.
If this system detects that the washload is unevenly distributed
inside the drum. Your washing machine will try to redistribute
the load before spinning. If after several attempts it is unable
to redistribute the washload, then the appliance will either spin
at a slower speed or skip the spin cycle and drain.
Uneven load distribution can be caused by too large a wash
load or too small a wash load. It can also occur if a single item
is washed inside the appliance.
IF AN ENGINEER ATTENDS DURING THE
GUARANTEE PERIOD AND FINDS THAT A FAULT
HAS BEEN CAUSED BY AN ITEM IN THE ABOVE
TABLE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN CLEARED BY THE
CUSTOMER, THEN YOU MAY BE LIABLE FOR THE
COST OF THE SERVICE CALL.
29
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 the 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 residue on my garments when I remove
them from the appliance.
o Modern detergents can contain insoluble contents, and
white residue after a wash cycle is not necessarily a
sign of the garments not being rinsed properly.
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.
