Safety and warning lights
Your washing machine is suitable for
washing textiles which have been labelled
as machine washable by the manufacturer. Using this washing machine for other
purposes could be dangerous. Do not use
solvents in this washing machine (there
could be a risk of fire or explosion).
Please read the instructions given below
and follow them carefully. Failure to do
so will invalidate the guarantee.
• Please ensure that the packaging mate-
rial is disposed of in accordance with
the current environmental requirements.
• If the washing machine is visibly dam-
aged, do not connect it. Contact your
supplier.
• The washing machine must be installed
in a room which is not susceptible to
frost. Frost will cause damage to the
hoses (they may split or burst) and may
cause the electric and electronic components to malfunction.
• Before use, check that the transit bars
have been removed. Failure to remove
the transit bars before operation could
damage the washing machine and other
adjacent fixtures.
• Make sure that the inlet and outlet
hoses are fitted in accordance with the
instructions. Improper connection can
lead to flooding.
Cracks or kinks in the hoses may in time
cause them to leak. Check the condition
of the hoses at regular intervals to prevent water damage occurring.
• If the washing machine is installed on a
plinth, for safety reasons two restrainers
must be fitted under the two front feet.
• The washing machine must only be
used as directed in the operating in-
structions in order to prevent damage
to the laundry and to the washing
machine. The washing machine must
only be used for washing and spinning
household laundry. Use only detergents
and conditioners which are suitable for
use in household washing machines.
The washing machine door will become
hot when laundry is washed at high
temperatures.
Do not reach into the drum when it is
turning and do not touch the washing
machine with wet hands.
Do not allow children to play with the
washing machine and keep household
pets away from it.
• Take care to ensure that objects (such
as coins, screws, nails, paper clips, etc.)
are removed from all clothing before it
is loaded into the washing machine;
these objects could damage the suds
sump and the drum.
• If the washing machine fails to function
properly and you cannot rectify the
fault using the information in the manual, disconnect the washing machine
from the electricity supply, switch off
the water and contact the customer service department (see page 16).
• All our electrical appliances comply with
the relevant safety regulations. Repairs
to electrical appliances must only be
carried out by a qualified electrician.
Repairs carried out by anyone else could
endanger the user considerably. Make
sure that only original spare parts are
used, in order to prevent further damage from occurring.
• When the washing machine becomes
obsolete, ensure that it can no longer
be used. First remove the mains plug
from the wall socket, then cut the connection cable. Switch off the water supply and remove the inlet hose. Ensure
that the door lock is inactivated.

Installation
Transit bars
Before the washing machine is operated,
the transit bars at the reverse of the washing machine must be removed . The
three screws must be removed together
with the distance sleeves. Using a spanner (SW 13), loosen the three screws and
pull them and their distance sleeves
through the side holes .
Store these parts in a safe place as they
will be required if the washing machine is
to be transported again in the future
(e.g. if you move house).
The holes where the screws have been
can be concealed using the plastic caps
supplied.
Alignment
The washing machine must be placed on
a surface which is level and stable. A
slightly uneven surface can be compensated for by adjusting the four feet of the
washing machine . To adjust, loosen the
locking nuts using an SW17 flat key, align
the washing machine feet and tighten the
locking nuts again. Check that the
machine is level and stable (use a spirit
level).
After positioning of tha appliance the
mains connection (plug) must always be
accessible.
The washing machine must not be placed
on a long-pile carpet.
Building under
This washing machine can be built under
a continuous kitchen counter. The cover
sheet required for this purpose can be
obtained from the customer service
department.
Connection
Water supply
This washing machine can be connected
to any water supply without a non-return
valve. In oder to do so, the inlet hose
must be screwed onto a tap with a 3⁄4”
inch B.S.P. thread ,. The water
pressure should be 10 - 100 N/cm
2
(1 - 10 bar).
If the water pressure is higher than this, a
pressure-reducing valve must be connected in series. The angled end of the inlet
hose must be screwed onto the water
connection support on the rear of the
washing machine.
Turn on the water tap (at full water pr essure) and check that the connection point
on the tap and on the washing machine is
watertight. If necessary, adjust the fit of
the seal and screw connection. Advice on
how to extend the length of the hose can
be obtained from the customer service
department.
Water removal
The water which is pumped away must be
able to flow away freely. In order to allow
this, there must be no bends in the hose
and the end of the hose must be fitted no
higher than 100 cm above the floor level.
It is possible to connect it to a syphon. If
the water is to drain into a wash basin/
sink, the outlet hose must be fitted using
the hose holder supplied (pull the hose
holder to the end of the hose) to prevent
it from falling down and to ensure that
the end of the hose does not go below
the level of the water which is being
pumped off . (For example, on the loop
of the hose holder).
For the case that the drain hose should
be connected to a siphon, the enclosed
rubber hose middle part has to be fixed
between the drain hose and the siphon
and secured by two hose clamps. If not,
there is the danger of flooding! The hose
clamps can be bought in a specialist shop.
5
Electrical connection
In order to make the electrical connection
a Home Office socket is required. If the
machine is to be connected permanently,
a mains switch with a minimum contact
clearance of 3 mm is required. The electrical connection must be made in accordance with the national regulations and
any additional regulations set by the
energy supplying company. The fuse protection and the type of machine are
stated on the wasching machine plate on
the rear of the washing machine . The
washing machine must not be switched
on before the electrical connection has
been made.
Warning!! The power supply cord must
only be replaced by an authorised
specialist or a qualified person.
After installation of the machine the
mains plug has to be accessible.
Initial operation
It is advisable to run the first washing
cycle without any laundry in the machine
in order to rinse out any remaining test
water. For this purpose select the
coloured cottons 60° short programme
(see programme table) and put a little
washing detergent in compartment II
(centre) of the detergent dispensing
drawer.
Preparing to wash
Tr y where possible to wash gar ments of
the same type in one wash.
Sort the laundry according to care symbols (see table), degree of soiling and
weight.
Remove all objects from folds or pockets
in garments and close zip fasteners. Garments which contain wire (ladies underwear, for example) should be tied in a
material bag in order to ensure that the
wires do not work loose and slip in between the drum and the outer tub.
Objects such as hair clips, paper clips,
coins, screws, needles, etc. can damage
the washing machine .
Heavily soiled areas and stains which are
water soluble should be treated appropriately before washing. In problem cases
advice should be sought from a specialist
(chemist, dry cleaner).

Colourfastness
Ascertain whether new garments are
colourfast before washing. If in doubt,
wash new coloured cottons separately.
Washing solutions which contain
solvents
Garments which have been pre-treated
with such solutions must not be washed
in your automatic washing machine or
they could damage the machine components and poisonous gases could be given
off (giving rise to a danger of fire and explosion).
Textiles which have been pre-treated must
be rinsed out in clear water before they
are washed in the machine.
Dying/ removing dye
Use only appropriate dyes and dye removing agents. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Ocean will not accept liability for any
damage which arises as a result of dying/
dye removal.
Woollens
Woollen items which carry the textile care
label " with special facility will not felt"
or " machine washable on super wash"
or ” handwash” can be washed in this
washing machine without any problem.
Curtains
Remove lead tape which is not sewn into
the curtains and all hooks.
Loading the machine
To open the door of the washing
machine, press the appropriate button.
Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in
the drum. The max. load depends on the
laundry type, the grade of soil, and the
wash programme (max. 6 kg slightly
soiled laundry with the cottons programmes).
When the laundry has been loaded into
the machine, close the door and you will
hear the door lock engage.
After the machine has been switched on
the door will remain locked for the duration of the programme. The indicator
lamp will light up. The water level in the
drum must be checked before the washing machine door is opened. If necessary
(as in the case of all programmes which
end in a rinse stop) the programme selector must be set to pump so that the water
can be pumped off. After this the door
can be opened.
Washing solution
Choice of washing solution and amount
required
Only use automatic washing detergents.
The type of detergent used depends on
the washing temperature, as well as on
the colour and type of textile. Follow the
detergent manufacturer's instructions.
The amount of detergent required depends on the degree of soiling, the quantity of laundry and the level of water
hardness.
Ask your local water authority about the
level of water hardness in your area.

Too much washing detergent can cause
excessive quantities of foam and could
have an adverse effect on the washing
and rinsing process. Insufficient washing
detergent can result in damaging lime
deposits and may make the laundry look
grey. In order to prevent this, it is advis able to first place the washing detergent
in the detergent dispensing drawer and
then the softening agent.
Washing detergent dispensing drawer
The washing detergent should be measured and placed in the appropriate compartment or compartments of the detergent dispensing drawer before the
washing programme commences.
In order to do this, pull open the detergent dispensing drawer .
The drawer is made up of 3 compartments:
Compartment I for pre-wash
or starching (left)
Compartment II for the main
washing cycle (centre)
Compartment III for fabric conditioner
or starch (right)
Washing detergent in powder form
To be used in compartment II.
Liquid detergent
When using liquid or gel-like detergents,
please note the following:
• Use the detergent maker’s proportioning cup and observe the information
given on the packing.
Fabric conditioner
Use the appropriate quantity of fabric
conditioner as stated by the manufacturer.
If the conditioner is very thick, it is advisable to dilute it with water before use in
order to ensure that it is dispensed completely into the washing machine. The
red upper edge in compartment III indicates the maximum filling level. At the
end of the washing programme a small
amount of water will remain in the fabric
conditioner compartment of the drawer.
Starch
a) Finishing agent and liquid starch:
Use as you would fabric conditioner
(compartment III)
b) Starch in powder form:
The starch should be prepared and
used as indicated by the manufacturer;
place in compartment I.

Temperature
The temperature can be selected freely
using the temperature selector. In order
to prevent your laundry from being damaged if you make a mistake in setting the
temperature, the temperature has been
restricted automatically to 60 °C in the
easy-care programme and to 40 °C in the
delicates and woollens programmes.
Additional functions
If one or more additional functions are
selected, the washing programme can be
tailored to your individual needs.
Extra rinsing button
If the extra rinsing button is pressed, an
extra rinse cycle will be included. This is
advisable for people with sensitive skins.
This function can be selected in the
cottons and easy-care programmes.
Intensive
The Intensive button has the effect of prolonging the washing time, so that a better
washing result can be obtained at a lower
temperature. For example, you could
wash a moderately soiled white wash at
60°C instead of at 95°C if you press the
Intensive button. This will enable you to
save 25-35% on electricity costs. This
function can be selected with the
white/coloured cottons and easy-care
washing programmes. Please note that if
the button is pressed, the temperature in
the whites/coloured cottons is automatically limited to 60 °C and in the easy-care
programmes it is limited to 40 °C.
Rinse hold
If you press the rinse hold button the
washing machine will not spin the laundry. The programme stops at the last
rinsing cycle, the laundry remains in the
water. This function can be selected with
the easy-care, delicates and woollens programmes. The programme can be continued in either of the following ways:
1. Cancel the rinse stop button: the programme sequence will then automatically move into the spin section.

Short programme
If the short button is pressed, the main
washing cycle is shortened and the number of rinsing cycles is reduced. Select the
‘short’ function either for laundry that is
only lightly soiled or for small quantities
of laundry. This function can be selected
in the whites/coloured cottons and the
easy-care programmes.
Spin reduction
This button can be used to reduce the
maximum spin speed to 600 rpm. The
greater the spin speed, the less residual
moisture will remain in the laundry. If you
intend to dry the laundry in a tumble dryer, select the maximum possible spin
speed on your washing machine in order
to save energy when tumble drying.
In the easy-care and woollens programmes the maximum spin speed is limited to 800 rpm in order to protect the
laundry and in the delicates programme it
is limited to 650 rpm.
If the washing machine fails to spin the
laundry even though you have not
pressed the ‘rinse stop’ button, it is possible that the Automatic Spin Correction
System (ASC) has stopped the machine
from spinning. In that case, the laundry
will have caused such an imbalance in the
washing machine that the spin has been
abandoned in order to prevent the
machine from becoming unstable.

Tips for caring for your laundry and the environment
You can contribute to the protection of
the environment by bearing the following
advice in mind:
• Wash the maximum load (see programme table)
• Save energy by washing at reduced
temperatures and using the Intensive
button with the white/coloured cottons
and easy-care programmes.
• Where appropriate, wash particulary
heavily soiled laundry separately.
• Use less washing detergent for smaller
loads and laundry which is only lightly
soiled and select the short programme.

Care and Maintenance
Washing detergent dispensing drawer
To wash the washing detergent dispensing drawer, pull it out as far as possible
and then with a short, sharp pull remove
it completely . To enable the washing
machine to function properly, the fabric
conditioner syphon and the dispensing
compartments should be washed under
warm running water. In order to do this,
remove the syphon and if necessary
free the opening using a needle. From
time to time the injection nozzles which
are situated above the dispensing compartments should be cleaned using a
brush, for example.
The drain pump
The drain pump only needs to be cleaned
if it becomes blocked with buttons, paper
clips, etc. The remaining water in the
washing machine must be pumped off
beforehand.
Note: Allow hot suds to cool first.
First remove the mains plug from the wall
socket. Unlock the maintenance flap by
pressing the side opening button and lifting it up . Fold down the run-off flap
and place a flat bowl under it . Turn the
pump cover a quarter turn to the left
and allow the water to run off. When the
bowl is full, turn the pump cover to close
it. Repeat this procedure until no more
water comes out.
Unscrew the pump cover completely
uand remove the unwanted objects.
Clean the housing and the pump wings.
Screw the pump cover closed again and
close the run off and maintenance flap.
Outer tub and sump
At temperatures below 0 °C the washing
machine must be emptied completely.
Proceed as if cleaning the drain pump.
Damage due to frost will not be covered
by the guarantee.
The strainer in the water connection
hoses
The strainer in the water connection
hoses (at the rear of the machine) should
be cleaned from time to time. To do this,
the water tap must be turned off.
Machine types without Aqua-stop hose:
The strainer is situated in the screw connection on the machine. To clean the
strainer, unscrew the hose from the rear
of the washing machine. Using a pointed
pliers, pull out the strainer by the edge,
clean it and put it back .
When putting the hose back onto the tap,
make sure that the strainer and the seal fit
correctly.
Washing drum and rubber collar
If any items made of metal (paper clips,
etc) are allowed to remain in the moist
drum or in the rubber seal ring, they may
cause rust marks.
In such a case, the drum should be
cleaned using a stainless steel cleaning
agent. Never use steel wool!
Unwanted objects (paper clips, etc) must
be removed from the fold of the rubber
seal .
Housing, washing machine door and
plastic parts
Clean using soapy water, mild cleaning
agents, or other agents commonly used
for cleaning plastics. Do not use abrasive
agents!
Dry using a soft cloth.

Help if a fault occurs
However, you will be able to remedy
minor faults and malfunctions yourself.
Before contacting the customer service
department, please check the following
points:
If the machine will not work
• Check the fuse in your house
• Check that the mains plug is inserted
correctly into the wall socket
If the drum does not fill up with water
• Check whether the door is properly
closed
• Check that the water taps are turned on
• The water pressure in the water supply
network is perhaps too low. Check the
water pressure.
• There might be something obstructing
the inlet hose. Check that the hose is
not bent or twisted.
• The strainer in the water connection
hose may be blocked. Remove any foreign bodies or waste from it.
If the water stays in the washing
machine
• You may have pressed the rinse stop
button. Press the button again to release it or set the programme selection
switch to 'pump', 'spin' or 'short spin'.
• Is there something obstructing the outlet hose?
• The drain pump might be blocked.
Make sure that there is no waste in it.
If the washing machine is not very
stable
• Check that the transit bars have been
removed. Check that the screws and
their distance sleeves have been removed from the rear of the washing
machine.
• Check that the machine has been positioned properly
• Is there something obstructing the
outlet hose?
If the washing machine leaks
• Check that the inlet and outlet hoses
have been properly fitted.
• Check that the cover on the drain pump
has been screwed down properly.
• Note whether the washing machine
foams too much during the washing cycle and the whether foam comes out of
the detergent dispensing drawer.
If the washing detergent foams too
much
• The ratio of washing detergent to laundry is not right. Reduce the amount of
washing detergent you are using.
• The level of water hardness could be
very low. Ask your local water authority
what your local water hardness level is
and reduce the amount of washing detergent accordingly.
• The formation of foam in the final rinsing cycle or during the final spin can be
due to the washing detergent. This
does not however make the rinse less
effective.
If the laundry is still too wet after it has
been washed
• The spin speed you have selected is too
slow.
• You have selected a basic programme
which limits the spin speed automatically.
• The Automatic Spin Correction System
has reduced the spin speed or stopped
the spin because of an imbalance. An
imbalance can arise as a result of only a
few large items of laundry being washed
together. For this reason it is advisable
to wash a combination of large and
small items together in the drum.
If the laundry is not completely clean
• Grey marks on textiles which were
soiled with ointments, fat or oil can remain if insufficient washing detergent is
used. Increase the quantity of washing
detergent you use.
• White marks are caused by the insoluble
water softening components of modern
phosphate-free washing detergents.
Remove them from the laundry by shaking or brushing the garments or, alternatively, use liquid washing detergent.
If you are unable to remedy the fault
yourself, contact the customer service
department and quote the model code
and identification number which is
stamped into the machine plate. Our central customer service department will be
pleased to advise you which customer
service technician covers your area.
