Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry
with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated
automatically according to the load and type of fabric.

●

Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C

before draining, with the 95°C programme. This
reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent
creasing.

●

The special wool programme with its new delicate
wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

●

The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing
machine remains stable when spinning.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:

●

Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).

●

The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.

●

With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.

●

Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.

In the interest of the
environment

●

Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

●

Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.

●

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door lock device
unusable to prevent young children from being
trapped inside.

●

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the environment?
We use recycled paper!

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly
distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the
wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed “Something
Not Working”.

As all spinning phases are suppressed, this washing
cycle is very quiet and it can be useful at night or in
times with a more economical power rate.

On cotton and synthetic programmes the rinses will be
performed with more water.

At the end of the cycle, the light corresponding to the
option NIGHT WASH is on and the START/PAUSE

programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics, whereas
in the programme for delicate fabrics the water is only
drained.

• QUICK: select this option for laundry that is only

slightly soiled (not for WOOL and HAND WASH

programme).

The washing time will be reduced according to the
type of fabric and the selected temperature.

The PREWASH, the OUTDOOR SPORTS and the
QUICK options cannot be selected together.

7 OPTIONS button

Press this button to select the following options:

• SUPER RINSE: this option can be selected with all
programmes except the wool programme and hand
wash. The machine performs 4 rinses instead of 3.

If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the
programme in progress, proceed as follows:

• PAUSE the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE
button;

• press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly, until only

the DRAIN light remains lit;

• press the START/PAUSE button again.

When the water has been drained, the display shows a
blinking zero. You may now select a new programme
and press the START/PAUSE button to start it.

• the level of the water is not high;

• the drum is not turning.

If these requirements are met, when you pause the
washing machine, the DOOR LOCKED light goes out
and the door can be opened.

Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it
be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off
by pressing the ON/OFF button.

After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.

Pay attention to the level and temperature of the
water in the washing machine!

When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button
again, the washing machine will resume the programme
from the point where it had been interrupted.

15. End of programme

At the end of the programme, the washing machine
stops automatically, gives an audible signal, and
displays a blinking zero.
If you had selected the NIGHT WASH option, the
START/PAUSE button light flashes to indicate that the
water must be drained. The display shows a steadily lit
zero.
When the programme has been completed, a blinking
zero appears on the display and the audible signal is
given.
The DOOR LOCKED light goes out at once.

Press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly to erase
the programme that has just been carried out. If you
omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing
machine on, the blinking zero will appear on the
display and you will hear the audible signal.

13. How to cancel a programme

during its cycle

To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first
pause the washing machine by pressing the
START/PAUSE button, then press the SKIP/RESET
button repeatedly, until the display shows three blinking

dashes.

14. How to open the door during

the cycle of a programme

You can open the door, after having set the washing
machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions
exist:

• the washing machine is not in the heating phase

beyond 55°C;

Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must
erase the previously performed programme, it is also
sufficient to press the FABRIC button and select a new
programme.

Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off.
The relevant light will go out.

Remove the laundry from the washing machine.

Check whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to
prevent any items of laundry from remaining
accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged
in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour
into another load of laundry.

We advise you to close the water supply tap and
disconnect the plug from the socket.

Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

Washing Hints

Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
first few times you use the appliance.

The average weights of the most common items are
listed below as a guide:

1000g = 1 kg

Sheet 700-1000 g

Pillow case 100-200 g

Tablecloth 400-500 g

Serviette 50-100 g

Tea towel 70-120 g

Linen hand towel 100-150 g

Towelling hand towel 150-250 g

Towelling bath towel 700-1000 g

Bath robe 1000-1500 g

Man’s shirt 200-300 g

Apron 150-200 g

●

Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.

●

Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.

●

Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may
unravel.

●

Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.

●

When washing curtains, remove the hooks.

●

Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.

●

It is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.

●

When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.

●

White items should not be washed with coloured
items.

●

Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.

●

Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.

●

Use the correct quantities of detergent.

●

For wool, use gentle detergent only in small
quantities.

●

Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.

●

Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found
in most household shops. In some cases it may help
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre­soak product or biological detergent.

●

Only wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable,
preshrunk” can be washed in the the wool
programme; other types of wool should be washed
in Hand Wash programme..

●

If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin
only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left
in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not
contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a
rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to
ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

●

Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.

«JETSYSTEM» wash

As the Jetsystem is flexible and adjusts water intake
according to wash load size it is not possible to give you
exact recommendations as to the amount of detergent
that should be used for any one wash.
Therefore we recommend that you use approximately
1/3 less than the detergent manufacturer recommends on
the packet or bottle, making the appropriate allowances
for soft or hard water, and light or heavy soilage of
clothes. If you have judged the amount correctly you
should expect to see a soft sudsy liquid during the wash.
It is not necessary to have a head of lather on the water.

13

Which detergent?....

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your
appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in
your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended
for use in automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and
household textiles and to make them last longer you
should use different types of detergent for different
washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they
are also available in different forms. Whether you chose
a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is
your own personal choice.

TRADITIONAL POWDERS

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do
not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

WHITES

We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.

NON BIOLOGICAL

If you prefer to use a non
biological detergent, which does
not contain enzymes we
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides
good cleaning and stain removal.

COLOUREDS

For coloured items you should use a
detergent which is designed to clean
while maintaining the original colour.
Ariel Color does not contain bleach
and therefore helps to preserve
colours.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS

Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start
the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in
the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the
specially designed dosing device* which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.

COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS

Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also
known) are available in liquid or powder form, and
generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most
economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the
dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent
into the specially designed dosing device* which
should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back
of the machine drum.

* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,

please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed
before carrying out a drying programme.

DELICATE ITEMS

When washing delicates such as
woollens, you should use a product
which is specially designed to care for
fine fabrics.
Dreft Automatic is suitable for
woollens and other delicates.

LAUNDRY BLEACH

For additional stain removal you may
wish to use a product such as Ace
Gentle Bleach which is used in addition
to your chosen detergent. Ace is
suitable for all washable fabrics
including silks, woollens and coloureds.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing
easier. They are available in two types:

For example Lenor liquid fabric
softener, for use in the washing
machine/washer dryer. The
liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment
marked with the symbol .
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the
MAX level.

Bounce conditioning sheets for use
in a tumble dryer. We recommend
the conditioning sheets are pinned
(using a safety pin) to an article
of laundry and placed in the
tumble dryer.

Maintenance and Cleaning

C0067

P1114

P1086

C0068

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must
DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good
idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the
machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing,
and according to the softening powder manufacturer's
instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of
lime deposits.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent
mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.
Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to
preserve the door seal.

Maintenance Wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to
get a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed
on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

●

The drum should be empty of laundry.

●

Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

●

Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder (such as Ariel Futur).

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and
water only, and then dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean
the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is
removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme
without any clothes in the drum.

P0038

Cleaning the pump

The pump should be inspected if

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump.

Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the appliance.

• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

• Open the pump door.

The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards
and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove
any traces of accumulated powder.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment
should be removed.

• Place a container close to the pump to collect any
spillage.

• Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the
container and remove its cap.

• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump

C0066

1717

cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry

P1117

P1115

P1090

up spillage of water when removing the cover.

• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by

rotating it.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and
place the latter back in its seat.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose.

Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.

●

Turn off the water tap.

●

Unscrew the inlet hose.

●

Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and
that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor
and let water drain out.

●

Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition
the emergency emptying hose after having put the
cap on again.

●

When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

• Screw the pump cover fully in.

• Close the pump door.

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle,
always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle,
and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is
securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.

Cleaning the water inlet filter

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• open the pump door;

• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the
emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its
cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose.
Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after
having plugged it;

• screw the pump cover again and close the door.

1818

Something Not Working

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without
calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed
below.
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or
installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.

During machine operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:

- E10 : problem with the water supply

- E20 : problem with water draining

- E40 : door open
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all
checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre.

Symptom

The machine does not start

The machine does not fill

The machine fills then empties
immediately

The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin

Possible causes

●

The door has not been closed. (E40)

●

The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.

●

There is no supply at the socket.

●

The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.

●

The START/PAUSE button has not been depressed.

●

The DELAY START option has been selected.

●

The water tap is closed. (E10)

●

The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (E10)

●

The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked. (E10)

●

The door has not been closed. (E40)

●

The end of the drain hose is too low.

●

The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.

●

There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.

●

The drain hose may be squashed or kinked. (E20)

●

The NIGHT WASH option has been selected.

●

The drain pump may be blocked. (E20)

●

The drain hose extension, if fitted, is not correct. Follow the
instructions for connecting to the waste.

●

The drainage system pipes are blocked.

●

The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to
allow the machine to spin.

There is water on the floor

Unsatisfactory washing results

●

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too
much foam).

●

Check whether there are any leaks from the inlet hose fittings. It is not
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if
it is damp.

●

The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.

●

The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.

●

The drainage system pipes are blocked.

●

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and
causes lime scale to form.

●

Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing

●

The correct wash programme/temperature has not been selected.

●

Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.

Possible causes

The machine vibrates when spinning

The door will not open

Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin

The machine makes an unusual
noise

No water is visible in the drum

●

The internal packing has not been removed.

●

The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.

●

The machine is not level and stable (check diagonally).

●

The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.

●

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

●

The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.

●

The machine is heating the water.

●

The drum is turning.

The door can only be opened when the relevant light has gone out.

●

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.
If, after 15 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the
drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load
manually and select the spin programme.

●

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures
a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum
when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.

●

Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water without affecting performance.

All transit bolts and packing must be removed
before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the machine is to be transported again.

Using a spanner unscrew and remove the two rear
bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.

Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the
hoses are not squashed.

Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the
machine and release the two plastic bags.
Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag, removing
it towards the right and then downwards.

Repeat the operation for the right polythene bag,
removing it towards the left and then upwards.

Set the machine upright and unscrew the remaining rear
screw. Slide out the relevant pin.
Fill all the holes with the plastic plugs supplied with the
instruction booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not
impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine
does not touch the wall or other kitchen units.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under
the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.

Your new washing machine has been designed to be
permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply
and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it
may be connected to a suitable existing tap with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP
thread connector. If this connection is not compatible
with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety
of connectors are available from good hardware stores
and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic
plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing
must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified
plumber.

Installation on a Suspended Floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you
place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick
under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams
with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of
the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Remove the polystyrene base.

Water drainage

Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the appliance to
connect to the water supply.

Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be connected to a cold water
supply.

A minimum water pressure of 50 kPa (0.5 bar) is
required for safe operation of the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection direct
from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the
appliance from your cold water storage system.

There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of
the water storage tank.

Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After
positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's water supply and drainage system.

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe,
the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic
“U-Piece” supplied.

The standpipe should have an internal diameter of
approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there
is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of
the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4'')
and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level. The
upright standpipe should have a minimum length of
30cm (12'') from the bottom of the elbow to the top of
the pipe (see diagram).

Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the end
of the drain hose cannot be covered with water. The
drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres.
An additional drain hose and joining piece
is available from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18mm.

sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not
blocked. Use the plastic “U-Piece” supplied.

Special conditions

If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to
prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base
should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of
the machine.

Warning

The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile

carpeting.

Important

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or
to pipework that has not been used for some time, run
off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.

Levelling

Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the
feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate
a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and
stable (check diagonally).

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation.

Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.

Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.

Note

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.

In the interest of the
environment

Washing machines and dishwashers should be
connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will
then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before
being discharged safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to
the surface water drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause
pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your
local water authority.
