Troubleshooting

Do not:

stack tumble dryers or other appliances on top of the machine. alter the machine or modify it in any way, as this will invalidate your guarantee and could be dangerous. carry out any maintenance work on the machine other than that outlined in this handbook. use the washing machine if any part appears to be faulty, missing or damaged. overload the washing machine; the maximum loads are indicated in the programme table section use adapters or extension cables. use the washing machine for commercial or industrial purposes, as this will invalidate your guarantee. The machine is designed for domestic use.

Always:

use the Rollerjack

for moving the machine as it is very heavy. Care must be taken when moving it. turn off the machine using the ‘Mains on/off’ button when not in use and switch off at the socket. turn off the water supply to the machine when it is not in use for long periods. close both the inner and the outer doors when not in use. close soap tray before starting the machine.

Child safety

Never allow children to play with or use the washing machine. If children are present, always use the child lock when running the machine; see section Always engage the child lock when the machine is not in use. To do this, close both doors, press and hold ‘minimum iron’ button, switch the machine off at ‘Mains on/off’ button. Always check drums are empty before loading the machine. Keep all packaging out of the reach of children.

The only 2-drum wash action

2 01Your Contrarotator

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

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.

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

slowly because the handle may return

with force. The Rollerjack

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.
