Installation
Packaging
All packaging must be removed from the machine.
Transport fittings
The wash drum is secured during transport to prevent damage. Before using the machine, remove the transport fittings as follows:
1.Using a suitable spanner, loosen the four transport bolts ( C ) by turning them in an anti-clockwise direction until the bolts can be partially withdrawn.
2.Remove the bolts and the rubber bushes by pulling outwards. An up and down action together with a little dishwashing liquid will ease the removal.
3.Insert the plastic plugs ( P ) supplied with the machine into the holes vacated by the transport fittings.
Note:
To prevent damage, the machine should be transported with the transport fittings securely in place.
Note:
Never place the machine on a carpet. This could prevent air circulation and cause electrical components in the machine to overheat.

Levelling
1.The machine must stand firmly on the floor. Any instability will negatively affect its performance.
2.The machine has two adjustable feet at the front.
3.To level the machine, loosen the plastic lock nuts on the adjustable feet.
4.Rotate the feet until the machine stands firm and level.
5.Tighten the lock nuts firmly.
6.Caution : Never remove the lock nuts and feet from the machine.

Features
Quick Wash button
Selecting this feature will shorten the wash time for lightly soiled fabrics. Quick wash may be used for cotton and synthetic programmes at temperatures below 60°C.
Rinse Plus
Selecting this feature will adds an extra rinse to the was cycle. This is particularly useful for removing any residual detergent from absorbent fabrics.
Anti Creasing
Fewer articles of clothing should be loaded when selecting this function. Which enables special wash and spinning profiles to minimise creasing and wrinkles. This significantly reduces the amount of ironing required afterwards.
Spin speed selection
The desired spin speed may be selected up to a maximum of 1200 rpm. If you do not require any spinning, select the NO SPIN option.
Rinse and Hold
Selecting this feature will stop the machine during the final rinse cycle with water in the tub. This prevents drip-dry, permanent press and wool articles from creasing caused by waiting in a ‘dry’ machine before being removed. To complete the programme, press the START / PAUSE / CANCEL button, select the desired spin speed and press the START / PAUSE / CANCEL button once more.
Detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 3 compartments.( see page 4).
Use only low foam detergents specifically designed for front loading automatic washing machines. Dose as per the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent pack. Dosage may vary according to wash load, dirt and water hardness.
Wash programme selector.
Turn the knob to select the desired programme.
Door
Open the door by pushing the DOOR OPEN button.
Close the door by pushing firmly until it clicks into place.
Note:
The door locks during the wash cycle.
Switch the machine off and allow 1 to 2 minutes for the safety lock to disengage. Thereafter the door may be opened.

Helpful hints
•Sort washing by material type.
•Adhere to garment label washing instructions.
•Fasten zips to prevent them snagging other articles.
•Mend loose seams and tears before washing.
•Secure all loose buttons.
•Empty all pockets of coins and loose objects.
•Secure or remove brassiere wires.
•Wash small articles such as socks, handkerchiefs and delicate underwear in a wash bag or pillow slip. This will prevent tangling.
•Treat any stains before washing.
•Test fabrics for colourfastness before washing.
•Wash new denim separately as colours may run.
•Wash new bulky articles such as quilts and sleeping bags individually. For best results use the WOOL programme.
•Do not wash articles which have been soaked in paint, petrol, thinners, or other flammable liquids.
•Do not wash rubberised articles such as rain coats and training shoes.

Operating the machine
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry in one of the following groups:
1.White cotton and linen as well as robust colourfast fabrics.
2.Synthetics and synthetic blends as well as non colourfast fabrics.
3.Delicate fabrics such as silks and rayon.
4.Wool.
Loading the machine
•It is important not to overload the machine as this will prevent it from washing properly. You should be able to fit a hand between the top of the drum and the wash load in the drum.
