WATER CONNECTION

Your machine may either be plumbed in or connected to existing taps, using a tap adaptor with a 3/4 B.S.P. threaded end connection. The water supply hoses to be found inside the drum are terminated in two different ways. One end which has a 90° elbow is to be connected to the appliance water connection E while the straight end is to be connected to the domestic supply tap. The hose with the white collar should be connected to the cold tap, and the hose with the red collar to the hot tap. The appliance is not suitable for use with mixer taps.

Hook the end of the outlet hose over the rim of the sink or outlet pipe, making sure that it is not kinked. For better positioning of the outlet hose make use of the plastic bend provided.

Where possible, use a fixed discharge pipe with a diameter greater than that of the outlet hose this allows the air to escape.

The minimum height of the top of the outlet hose should be 50 cm.

Extending the outlet hose, especially if the extension is more than 1 metre, could lead to malfunctioning of the discharge.

The appliance outlet hose should discharge into the foul water drainage system and not into the surface water drainage system. Should you require further advice please contact your local water authority.

SPIN SPEED CONTROL

ROTATES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS

The spin cycle is very important to remove as much water as possible from the laundry without damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the spin speed of the machine to suit your needs. By adjusting the control, it is possible to reduce the maximum speed, and if you wish, the spin cycle can be cancelled altogether-position .

NOTE: THE MACHINE IS FITTED WITH A SPECIAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE, WHICH PREVENTS THE SPIN CYCLE SHOULD THE LOAD BE UNBALANCED. THIS REDUCES THE NOISE AND VIBRATION IN THE MACHINE AND SO PROLONGS THE LIFE OF YOUR MACHINE.

RINSE HOLD BUTTON

When this button is selected, the machine stops with the final rinse water in the drum for mixed fabrics and wool.In this way, the fabrics are left immersed in the water,preventing them from creasing, should you be unavailable to remove them after spinning. When the button is released, the programme finishes by emptying the water and giving a delicate spin.If you just want to empty the water (i.e. without the spin), release the On/Off button, select “Z”and release the Rinse Hold Button. Press the On/Off button again to drain the water.

CHAPTER 9

THE PRODUCT

IMPORTANT:

When washing heavy rugs, bed spreads and other heavy articles, it is advisable not to spin.

To be machine-washed, woollen garments and other articles in wool must bear the “Machine Washable Label”.

IMPORTANT: When sorting articles ensure that:

- there are no metal objects in the washing (e.g. brooches, safety pins, pins,coins etc.).

- cushion covers are buttoned, zips and hooks are closed, loose belts and long tapes on dressing gowns are knotted.

-runners from curtains are removed.

attention is paid to garment labels.

-when sorting, any tough stains should be removed prior to washing using stain removers only recommended on label.

CHAPTER 8

SELECTION

For the various types of fabrics and various degrees of dirt the washing machine has 3 different programme bands according to: wash cycle,temperature and lenght of cycle (see table of washing cycle programmes).

1 Resistants Fabrics

The programmes have been designed for a maximum wash and the rinses, with spin intervals, ensure perfect rinsing. The final spin gives more efficient removal of water.

2 Mixed and Synthetic Fabrics

The main wash and the rinse gives best results thanks to the rotation rhythms of the drum and to the water levels. A gentle spin will mean that the fabrics become less creased.

3 Special Delicate Fibres

This is a new wash cycle which alternates washing and soaking and is particularly recommended for very delicate fabrics such as Pure Machine Washable Wool.The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels to ensure best results.

Please, read these notes

In case of very dirty underwear,a 3 kg maximum load is advised.

In the programs as shown in the table, automatic bleaching is possible by pouring the liquid bleach into the detergent draw .

Programmes according to IEC directives 456.

LIGHT WASH Programme

The light wash (programme1) allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out in approximately 30 minutes, with up to a maximum load of 2 kg and a the temperature of up to 50°C. The washing temperature can be reduced by using the control knob I. When selecting LIGHT WASH (program 1), remember we recommend you use only 20% of the recommended quantities shown on the detergent pack. The detergent must be placed in the “LIGHT WASH” compartment (marked I) in the detergent dispenser.

The light wash programme can also be used as a prewash cycle in the case of heavily soiled garments, before selecting the main wash programme.

Get the best results from your new Hoover machine

To ensure you get the best results from your new Hoover machine it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash.There are many detergents available in the market and making a choice from the wide range available can often be confusing.

At Hoover we regularly test many different types of detergent to assess which give the best wash results in our machines.We found only one brand always lives up to our exacting standards and provides outstanding cleaning across a broad range of dirt and stains, as well as providing high levels of fabric care. That’s why Hoover gave Ariel their official seal of approval.

FOR YOUR NEW WASHING MACHINE

Page 12

preliminary removal of stains can be carried out in the washing machine.Pour the bleach into the special compartment and set the knob (L) on the special programme “PRE-WASH STAIN REMOVAL” . When this phase has terminated add the rest of the washing and proceed with a normal wash on the most suitable programme. It is advisable not to wash a load made up entirely of articles in towelling fabric which absorb a lot of water and become too heavy. The maximum load for heavy fabrics is 5 kg, while, in the case of delicate fabrics, it is advisable not to exceed 2 kg (1 kg in the case of machine washable articles in “Pure New Wool”) so as to avoid the formation of creases which may be difficult to iron. A net bag should be used for particularly delicate fabrics.

EXAMPLE:

The advice of Hoover is set out in the washing programme table:

● Ensure that article labels carry the indication 60°C.

● Open the door by pressing button (B).

● Load the drum with a maximum of 5 kg. of dry washing.

● Close the door

IMPORTANT: WHEN SETTING THE PROGRAMME ENSURE THAT THE ON/OFF BUTTON IS NOT TURNED ON.

Select programme 2: Choose the programme by rotating the knob (L) in a CLOCKWISE DIRECTION and make the number of the programme coincide with the sign.

● Move the temperature knob (I) to maximum 60°C.

● Open the detergent drawer (A).

CUSTOMER AWARENESS

A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE

Achieve the best use of energy,water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?

For heavily soiled laundry only! SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

WASHING

VARIABLE CAPACITY

This washing machine automatically adapts the level of the water to the type and quantity of washing.In this way it is also possible to obtain a “personalized” wash from an energy saving point of view. This system gives a decrease in energy consumption and a sensible reduction in washing times. Let us suppose that the washing consists of HEAVILY SOILED COTTON (tough stains should be removed with the special cream). When only a limited number of articles have stains which require treatment with liquid bleaching agents,

CHAPTER 13

FAU LT

If the fault should persist, contact a Hoover Technical Assistance Centre. For prompt servicing, give the model of the washing machine,to be found on the label placed on the cabinet inside of the porthole or on the guarantee certificate.

Important 1 The use of environment friendly detersives without phosphates may produce the following effects:

- The discharge rinse water may result cloudier due to the presence of zeolites in suspension. This does not compromise the efficiency of the rinses.

- The presence of white powder (zeolites) on the washing at the end of the washing cycle.This does not remain incorporated in the fabric and does not alter the colour.

- The presence of foam in the last rinse water which is not necessarily a sign of inadequate rinsing.

- The non-ionic surface-active agents present in the composition of washing machine detersives are often difficult to remove from the washing itself and, even in small quantities, may produce visible signs of the formation of foam.

- Carrying out further rinses, in cases such as this, is not useful.

2 If your washing machine fails to function, carry out the above-mentioned checks before calling the Hoover

Technical Assistance Service.

1. Does not function on any programme

2. Does not load water

REMEDY

FILTER CLEANING

The washing-machine is equipped with a special filter to retain large foreign matter which could clog up the drain, such as coins, buttons, etc. These can, therefore, easily be recovered.The procedures for cleaning the filter are as follows:

● Ease off the base as shown in fig.

● Use the base as a tray to collect leftover water in filter.

● Loosen the screw holding the filter.

● Turn the filter anticlockwise till it stops in vertical position.

● Remove and clean.

● After cleaning, replace by turning the notch on the end of

the filter clockwise.Then follow all procedures described above in reverse order.

REMOVALS OR LONG PERIODS WHEN THE MACHINE IS LEFT STANDING

For eventual removals or when the machine is left standing for long periods in unheated rooms, the drain hose should be emptied of all remaining water.

The appliance must be switched off and unplugged.A bowl is needed. Detach the drainage hose from the clamp and lower it over the bowl until all the water is removed.

Repeat the same operation with the water inlet hose.
