The only 2-drum wash action
2 01Your Contrarotator
TM
Conventional washing machines may seem convenient, but their poor performance lets you down. So James Dyson asked his engineers to experiment with every imaginable way of washing to design a better washing machine.
Along the way, Dyson’s engineers made a surprising discovery: washing by hand gave better wash results than single drum machines. Because the clothes are constantly on the move, they are manipulated and flexed – every centimetre of the fabric is exposed to the detergent. It opens the weave of the fabric and agitates the dirt more, to release it easily and quickly. It’s an active, efficient process.
To replicate the movement of hand washing Dyson’s engineers designed two aligned drums and engineered them to rotate in opposite directions at the same time. The effect of this revolutionary action on the clothes is dramatic. Instead of revolving in the old single pattern of ‘drop and flop’, the clothes are much more active, moving in an infinitely variable dance, to flex the fabric and open the weave to the detergent.
Because the Contrarotator
TM
releases dirt more effectively, it
can wash clothes cleaner.
Every Dyson machine is tested before it is dispatched. As a result, there may be some dampness or water in the machine.
The machine should not be installed in a location where the temperature may drop below freezing. The machine should not be installed in a bathroom. The machine must be installed on a secure and flat surface. Soft floors, such as carpet or carpet tiles, are not suitable surfaces. If the machine is to be installed on floorboards, the unit must be placed on a water-resistant wooden board at least 30mm thick with at least 50mm spare on each side of the machine. This board must be screwed securely to at least two joists. If possible, the machine should also be positioned in the corner of the room.
The maximum distance and suggested layout of the drain, taps and power socket from the machine are illustrated below. The inlet water pipes, drain hose and the electrical mains lead must be positioned carefully to avoid damage or kinking when the machine is fully installed. The machine can be connected to a standpipe, under sink pipe connection or other drainage system, but the critical dimensions must be followed.
Important

5 01Installation
Sink pipe connection
Water supply, drainage and electricity
The washing machine comes with:
2 inlet pipes (one blue, one red). 1 drainage hose hook. 1 Dyson spanner. 1 drainage hose located at the rear of the machine.

Location
Refit the lid and two screws. Open the outer door and carefully lift out the two foam inserts from the front of the inner door.
Please retain the transit packaging for future use, as it should be used whenever the machine is moved. To replace the packaging, reverse the above procedure.
Moving
To move the machine, pull out the RollerjackTMhandle from under the front of the machine which enables you to manoeuvre the machine easily into your desired position. Replace the Rollerjack
TM
slowly because the handle may return
with force. The Rollerjack
TM
is not designed for moving the
machine over long distances.
Inner transit packaging removal
Before installation, check the washing machine for damage. A qualified person should always carry out installation. All packaging must be removed before the machine is connected to power or water supplies.
Remove the rear panel by removing the five screws. Carefully withdraw the foam block and then refit the rear panel and screws. Remove the two screws from the rear of the lid. Remove the machine lid by sliding it rearwards and then up. Remove the plug from under the lid by cutting the ties holding it on to the transit bracket.
Using the Dyson spanner remove the four bolts securing the top transit bracket. Remove the four screws securing the bracket to the machine casing and lift out the transit bracket.

European conformity information
This product has been tested and found to be in conformity with the following European Directives: 73/23/EEC Low Voltage (safety) Directive. 93/68/EEC CE Marking Directive. 89/336/EEC EMC Directive.
When all of the instructions on the previous pages have been completed, the machine can be installed into its operating position using the Rollerjack
TM
handle, see section 4 01.
Using the Dyson spanner, adjust the two front feet so that the machine is perfectly stable and level and will not rock on three of its four floor contact points. Do not use wood, carpet or other material to stabilise the machine.
5 03Installation
Cold only water supply
If there is no hot water supply, attach the cold and hot pipes to the machine as normal. Then, attach both hoses to a Y piece connector (available as a separate accessory, see rear page for Helpline telephone number) and finally connect the Y connector to the cold inlet tap.
Once all connections have been made, turn on the tap(s) to check that there are no leaks.
Electrical installation
Warning: This appliance must be earthed
Any electrical work required to install the washing machine should be carried out by a Dyson trained installer or qualified electrician. Before using your machine, check that the plug and sockets match, and check that the voltage in your home corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate. For the rating plate's location, see section 101. The machine should be plugged into a switchable, earthed socket that is easily accessible after installation. Do not use an extension cord or plug adapter. If the supply cord or plug is damaged disconnect the appliance from the socket outlet immediately. The supply cord must only be replaced by Dyson or its appointed agent, as special purpose tools and service techniques are required. If the plug supplied needs replacing it should be cut off and safely disposed of. Under no circumstances should the severed plug be inserted into a socket outlet as this may result in an electric shock hazard.
Always:
connect your machine to the water supply by hand, using the hoses supplied. Do not use old hoses. the water pressure should be between 0.4 and 5 bar.
Do not tighten the plastic hose connections with a spanner. Do not connect to a mixer tap.
Hot and cold water supply
Attach the blue hose to the cold inlet tap and the red hose to the hot inlet tap.
Water supply
Drainage
5 02
Installation
Drainage hose hook
Drainage hose
You can alter the direction of the drainage hose to the left or to the right. To change the direction of the machine’s drainage hose, open the retaining clip using a pair of pliers, and hold it open while you rotate the hose. Ensure the hose is inserted fully before releasing the clip.
Thread the drainage hose through the hose hook and adjust the protruding end to a distance of 30mm. The hose hook has a small retention hole that can be used to secure the hose assembly in position.
Do not use hose hook for under sink connections.
When installed into a standpipe or under sink connection, ensure that the water outlet end of the drainage hose is no lower than 450mm from ground level. Position the hose so that at no point in its entire length it lies above 600mm from ground level, refer to image in section 5 01.
Failure to comply with these dimensions could cause the machine to malfunction.
30mm
Stand pipe
Plug machine into the mains and switch on at the socket.
Turn on water supply at the mains.
Open outer and inner doors.
Check drums are empty before placing sorted clothes into the washing machine. Close both doors, making sure that both have “clicked” shut.
Do not overload your machine. Maximum loads for each fabric type are shown in the table in section 9 01. Tests have proven that overloading can reduce the wash performance and may cause damage to your machine.
Detergent use
To open the soap tray, press the icon on the soap tray. Do not try to pull out the soap tray without first pressing it. Push to close, ensuring it “clicks”.
Add detergent to the compartment marked 2 for all main wash programmes. To optimise the wash performance of the machine, we recommend the use of detergent suitable for automatic washing machines.
If selecting the pre-wash programme, add detergent to the compartment marked 1. Fabric conditioner to soften your clothes can be added to the compartment marked
*
to the level indicated.
Wash tips
Place dosage aids, such as wash balls and nets, directly inside the drums of the machine. Do not put detergent or dosage aids directly into the drums if using start delay (CRO1 Memory only). Dosage aids must not be used when pre-wash is selected. Use the correct amount of detergent. Incorrect dosage can reduce the efficiency of wash performance. For the correct dosages follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent packaging.

Before washing, sort clothes by fabric types and fabric care label, ensuring that dark colours are not mixed with light colours.
Fabric care label explanation
The number in the wash tub indicates the maximum wash temperature. When washing a range of clothing always choose the lowest temperature from all the wash labels in the load.
A wash tub without a bar underneath it indicates that the garment is suitable for a cotton wash (maximum agitation) when washed at the appropriate temperature.
A single bar underneath the wash tub indicates reduced (medium agitation) wash conditions, at the appropriate temperature. Wash on delicates or synthetics programme depending on the garment.
Two bars under the wash tub indicate further reduced (minimum agitation) wash conditions used specifically for fine fabrics. Wash on wool programme.
Do not wash
These garments can be washed in the machine by selecting the handwash items programme.
