supply via an extension lead, it should not
be positioned where it could be splashed by,
or become susceptible to, water.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Removing transit bolts

1. Before operating the washer , remove the

transit bolts (4 each) along with the rubber .

• If the bolts are not removed, it may cause
heavy vibration, noise and malfunction.

3. Close the holes with the Blanking Caps supplied.

2. Unscrew the 4 bolts with the spanner
supplied. Keep the 4 bolts and spanner for
future use.

• Whenever the appliance is transported, the
transit bolts must be refitted.

Location of washer

• Check the location where the machine will be installed. Make sure you have everything necessary
for correct installation.

• Do not place or store your washing machine below 0°C (32°F) to avoid any damage from
freezing.

• Never place/store laundry products on top of the machine.

• Install the washer on the horizontal solid floor .

If the washer is installed on an uneven floor , it could make
considerable noise, vibrate severely and cause a malfunction. If the
machine is not level, adjust the legs up or down for horizontal
installation.

• Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the

INLET HOSE CONNECTION

The machine should be connected to the water mains using the new hose sets supplied.
NEVER reuse old hoses. Be sure that the water inlet hoses are not folded, broken or
crushed. The washer should be connected to the cold water supply as this gives the
most efficient wash results. Cold fill washing machines increase washing efficiency when
using biological detergents because the enzymes work best at low temperatures

PLEASE- have only a qualified person install, repair or replace parts on your machine.

CONNECTION TO THE COLD WATER MAINS:

1. Connect the water inlet hose to the water supply- only tighten the screw
connection by hand.

1. Connect the inlet hose to the drain outlet of the washing machine (located on the

upper right hand corner of the machine) by turning it clockwise until it is tight.

Please check the rubber washer is present inside the inlet hose.

3. By slowly opening the water tap before putting the machine into operation, check

that the connection is free of leaks.

5

WATER DRAIN CONNECTION

x Be sure that the drain hoses are not folded, twisted, crushed or elongated by

stretching.

x Water drain hose should be mounted at a height of a minimum of 60 cm to a

maximum of 100 cm from the ground.

x The end of the water drain hose may be directly fitted to the waste water

outlet connection or to a standalone pipe. The standpipe should have a
diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) ensuring there is an air
break between the drain hose and standpipe.

x NEVER attempt to extend the water drain hose by adding additional hosing.

OPERATING YOUR W ASHING MACHINE

To obtain the best washing results, you must operate your machine properly.
This section gives you this important information.

Preparing clothes for washing

• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid

snagging other items.
Remove pins, buckles, and other hard
objects to avoid scratching the washer
interior.

• Empty pockets and pull them inside out.

• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic garments
inside out to avoid damage the tibres.

• Tie strings and sashes to avoid tangling.

• Treat spots and stains.
(See “Removing stains” on page 30)

8

Sorting

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed
together.

• Separate dark colours from light colours, colourfast items from non-colourfast items.

Soil (Heavy , Normal, Light): Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Separate white clothes from coloured clothes.
Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

Loading

• For best cleaning and wrinkle-free results,
put clothes into the machine loosely so that
they move easily in the water.

• Load machine properly and select correct
load size setting.
Overloading and selecting a setting too
small for the wash load can :

- Cause poor cleaning

- Increase wrinkling

- Create excessive lint

- Wear out items faster (because of damage

to fibres)

• Mix large and small items in each load. Load
evenly to maintain washer balance.
An unbalanced load can make the washer
vibrate during spin.

• Reduce wash time when using a small load
size setting. Loads with only a few small
items needs less wash time.

• Use a large load size setting to reduce
wrinkling with permanent press clothes and
some synthetic garments. These items
should have more room to move in the
water than heavy items. (towels, jeans)

Adding detergent

1 Detergent compartment 2 Adding fabric softener

• If desired, pour liquid fabric softener into
the dispenser using the amount
recommended by the manufacturers.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the
fabric softener which could stain clothes.

• Do not open the detergent case when
water is supplied.

• Avoid pouring fabric softener directly on
