40002057Eng.qxd 04/11/2004 16:21 Page 8

Connecting to the cold water supply

This machine has an inlet hose with a 19mm (3/4") threaded ferrule fitted to the end, to attach between the threaded connector on the appliance and the water supply.

Only use the new hose supplied to connect the machine and ensure that the sealing washers are in place inside the hose connectors.

Do not re-use old hoses which are attached to existing installations.

Do not over-tighten the connections. Hand tight is sufficient.

Do not trap or kink the hose.

1. Connect the elbow end of the hose provided

to the threaded inlet on the back of the machine.

Grey pipe to the white threaded inlet on the machine.

2. Hand tighten the connector.

3. Connect the straight ends of the pipes to the water supply; ensure that there are no kinks.

4. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. If there is a leak, turn off the water

supply, disconnect the hose and check the sealing washers are in place. Refit the hose and turn on the water supply.

Aqua-stop

Certain models will be supplied with a special hose that has a double skin and incorporates a water valve (A). If the inner hose bursts the valve will automatically shut off the water supply to prevent flooding. The indicator turns red (B). Should this happen, turn off the water supply immediately and obtain a replacement hose from GIAS Service.

The installation is the same as a conventional hose with the valve end of the aqua-stop hose fitted to the water supply.

40002057Eng.qxd 04/11/2004 16:22 Page 9

Connection of the machine to the drain

This machine must be connected in accordance with the water supply regulations. Water byelaws prohibit connection to a surface water drain.

Decide which plumbing option suits you best then follow the instructions below.

Option 1 Waste pipe connection (waste trap)

Fit the hooked end support to the outlet pipe. Position at least 800mm off the floor.

After removing the blanking plug or cutting the membrane from the waste system securely fix the outlet pipe to the drainage system, using a hose clip.

Secure the hooked end support up to at least 800mm to avoid water being drawn back into the machine.

All machines are tested with water prior to leaving the

factory so a small amount of water may remain in the

drum and drain hose.

Flooding could occur if any part of the installation is

not completed correctly.

Option 2 Into a standpipe

Ensure that the standpipe is not located near an electrical socket.

Fit the hooked end support to the outlet pipe. Install the hose into the standpipe ensuring that the pipe is at least 500mm from the floor.

Insert the outlet pipe approximately 100mm into the standpipe.

Moving the machine into position

Your machine is heavy so care must be taken when moving it. We recommend that two people move the machine to avoid strain and possible injury.

● Take care not to damage flooring when moving the machine.

● When moving the machine to its final position take care not to kink or damage the hose at the back of the machine.

Adjusting the feet

Once the machine is in place the feet should be adjusted to ensure that the machine is level. If the machine is not level it may become noisy or move.

Adjust the feet on the front corners of the machine until the machine is firm and level.

When the machine is firm and level, tighten the locking nuts on the two feet.

Do not drag or

lift the machine

by its door.

The following tips are designed to assist in getting the best results from your machine whilst using it in the most environmentally-friendly and economical way. It is also important to understand the items to avoid in your laundry, to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of your machine.

Loading your washing machine

To make further reductions of energy, water and detergent consumption, we recommend that you put a full load into your machine. Energy savings of up to 50% can be achieved by washing one full load compared to two half loads.

Do not overload the machine as this will reduce the quality of the wash and may cause damage to the machine and your laundry.

When is prewashing really needed?

Only with particularly dirty loads! Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not selecting the prewash option for less dirty laundry. Pre-treat awkward stains with a washable stain remover.

Which wash temperature should you choose?

Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at temperatures over 60°C.

Using a 40°C wash temperature can make energy savings of up to 50%.

Heavily soiled laundry

To ensure the best performance when washing a particularly dirty load, we recommend that you reduce the amount of items to be put into the machine. Allowing more space in the drum the

Washing advice

40002057Eng.qxd 04/11/2004 16:22 Page 13

items can circulate more freely and will wash better.

Sorting the laundry

Items to avoid

We recommend that you do not wash underwired bras in the machine. Should the wires become detached they could cause damage to your clothes and the machine. If the washcare label states that the bra is machine washable then we advise placing it in a wash bag.

Recommendations

Always follow the wash care labelling on the garments.

Fasten zips, tie strings and close press studs to prevent tangling. Ensure that pockets are emptied of loose change and other small items.

Check that there are no metal objects in the laundry as these may damage the laundry and the machine.

Place small items in a wash bag.

Do not use the

machine to

wash items that

do not have a

wash label.

Do not wash

items

previously

treated with

solvents.

40002057Eng.qxd 04/11/2004 16:22 Page 14

Detergent dosage

Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine. You will obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical products, and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the degree of soiling as well as the type of detergent to choose.

The amount of detergent to use depends on:

● Water hardness.

Depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used, it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.

The softer the water supply, the less detergent is required.

● The degree of soiling.

It is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on the degree of soiling.

Use less detergent for less soiled items.

● Amount of laundry.

It is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a small amount of laundry.

For smaller loads use less detergent.

The dosages shown on the packaging of detergents for washing delicates often already refer to a reduced wash size. Always follow the dosage

instructions on the detergent packaging.

Dispensing instructions

The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments:

● the first, labelled "I", is for detergent utilised during Prewash.

● the second, labelled "II", is for detergent utilised during the main wash.

● the third, labelled is for special additives such as fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc.

Dispensing in the drum

Liquid detergents and some tablets are dispensed via the machine drum using the recommended dispensing device which is placed upright on top of the washload towards the back of the drum. Some tablets are designed to be placed in the dispenser drawer, check the detergent pack for details.

Do not put any

items into the

drawer other

than detergents

that are

designed to be

dispensed from

This machine will operate even if you do not programme the Inter@ct set-up. However, this machine has Start Delay and Programme Set End Time functions and for these functions to work efficiently the Inter@ct 3D must be programmed. This is a simple operation and special care has been taken during manufacture to ensure that the user can operate this machine simply and effectively.

Programming the machine

Inter@ct needs to be programmed so that the correct clock setting, language and personal requirements are set. When the machine is turned on and the programme dial is moved away from the OFF position to a programme selection, a welcome message will appear:

This message is displayed for a short time while the machine recognises which programme has been selected. When the machine is ready, the programme details will appear on the display and from here you may now begin programming the machine.

Example

Please note that when using the Inter@ct menu you have 30 seconds per operation to make your selection. Should you run out of time, the display will

return to the start screen, and you simply have to re-enter the Inter@ct menu and continue with the programming.

To enter the menu

Hold down the and the buttons together for 5 seconds or until the beep sounds.

The menu options can be changed by pressing the button. To confirm and enter an option press the button.

ADOPT LANGUAGE (default setting – SWEDISH)

Your washing machine is automatically set to Swedish. If you require another language you have the option to change it within this set-up menu. Press to change the language, keep pressing the button until the desired language is indicated. Press to confirm your selection. When you have entered your chosen language, the display will then ask you to Set the Time.

SET NEW TIME

This function needs to be set for two reasons, firstly to display the current time of day on the screen and secondly for the Programme Set End Time/Start Delay settings to work correctly.

You will notice in the display window that the hours on the clock will be flashing. To set the hours you must press the button until the required figure is displayed. Then press the button to enter the chosen figure. Now the minutes on the clock will begin to flash. Again, press the button until the required minutes are displayed and press to input the selection. When you have set the time, the display will ask if you wish to Set the Time Mode.

SET TIME MODE (default setting – KLOCKAN)

The Set Time Mode allows you choose how you wish the Programme Set End Time and Start Delay functions to be controlled.

You will be presented with two options. The first, called Absolute Time Mode (KLOCKAN), allows you to set the actual time you want the programme to begin or end, e.g. Programme to start/end at 08:00. The second, called Relative Time Mode (TIM/MIN FRÅNNU), allows you to delay the start or end of your wash cycle by adding hours to the current time displayed on the clock, e.g. Programme to start/end in 4 hours 30 minutes.

STÄLL NY TID

0:08

40002057Eng.qxd 04/11/2004 16:22 Page 18

You can select which option you require by pressing the button until your preferred option is displayed, and then pressing the button to accept the option you have chosen.

Both options are very useful, but Absolute Time Mode is easier to use since there is no need for you to calculate how many hours to leave before you want the machine to end or start your chosen cycle.

When you have entered your preferred Time Mode the display will then ask for Enable Final Beeping to be set.

SET FINAL BEEP (default setting – YES)

Here you have the option to have a beeping alarm to let you know the wash cycle has finished. By pressing the button you can scroll through the YES (JA) and NO (NEJ) options.

To confirm your selection press the button. The screen will then move to the next stage and ask you if you wish to Enable Memory.

ENABLE MEMORY? (default setting – NEJ)

This is a useful feature if you frequently wash laundry using the same programme. Selecting Enable Memory will tell the machine to remember the last programme/functions used and set them in the memory. This feature works only on the Cottons, Delicates, Synthetics and Woollens programmes. The memory does not retain settings within the Special Programmes group. Select JA or NEJ by using the button and confirm your selection by pressing the button.

SET DEMO MODE? (default setting – NEJ)

The display will now show a message asking if you require the demo mode to be set. Please set this option to NEJ if this has not already been done. This function is for SERVICE use only. If the demo mode option is set to JA, the wash programme WILL NOT commence when you exit the Inter@ct 3D menu. The Demo Mode must be set to NEJ for the wash cycle to commence. Select NEJ using the button and confirm your choice with the button. You will then be asked if you wish to Exit the Menu.

EXIT MENU?

If you are happy with the settings you have selected, you can now exit the menu by selecting JA via the button and confirm this selection using the

button. However, if you are not happy with some of the settings selected you must select NEJ and you can then start programming again from the beginning. By pressing the button you can enter and bypass each option individually until you reach the option you would like to change.

When you are completely satisfied with the menu options you have selected, you may exit the menu. Testing of the installation may now start. If you wish to change any of the menu settings at a later date, you can enter the menu as

This option is available on the Cottons ( ) and Synthetics ( ) programmes.

is set automatically on the Sports programme. This option is particularly useful for heavily soiled loads and can be used independently of the main wash programme. Detergent for this programme should be added to the first compartment of the soap drawer labelled "I" (please refer to The Dispenser section of this manual). We recommend you use only 20% of the quantity used for the main wash programme.

Wash Options

The following options should be selected BEFORE

pressing the button. The light on each option button

Temperature Selection ( )

This washing machine is equipped with a variable temperature function. Each press of the button reduces the temperature of the wash. Greater energy savings can be achieved by setting the temperature between 15°C and 40°C. By setting the temperature to 15°C the wash temperature is equivalent to the water inlet temperature, thus reducing energy consumption further.

We recommend that the temperature shown on wash care garments should never be exceeded. The machine will not accept a temperature input that is higher than that stated in the programme guide.

The light on the option button will come on if a temperature lower than that stated in the programme guide has been selected.

Extra Rinse ( )

This option is available on the Cottons programmes ( ) and it increases the number of rinses to five (including the final conditioned rinse). This can help prevent skin irritation from detergent residue, which can affect people with particularly sensitive skin. Selecting the button is also recommended when washing heavily soiled fabrics which need a lot of detergent, or when the wash load contains towelling fabrics that have a greater tendency to retain detergent.

Fast Iron function

The programme is completed by a short spin, of very low speed.

The machine stops in the final rinse stage and the option indicators blink. The load is held in the water in the drum, thus reducing creasing and enabling easier ironing.

Action required to complete the cycle

To select a full spin cycle please turn the dial to the required spin programme (see Programme Guide).

Press the - button to continue with the programme. The machine will then pump out the water and the programme will conclude with a short spin. Finally, the programme carries out a brief tumbling action to loosen the items in the load.

Press the button and the machine will pump out the water and complete the cycle with a short spin.

Press the button and the machine will pump out the water to complete the cycle. The load will not be spun and will therefore be very wet.

Automatic Features

Automatic Variable Capacity (Half Load)

The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system. This system enables the machine to use the optimum amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance. The amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load.

The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum cost whilst respecting the environment.

Out of Balance protection

This model is fitted with an electronic sensor device that checks if the load is balanced correctly. If the load is slightly unbalanced the machine will re-balance it automatically to then carry out the normal spin.

If, after several attempts, balance is not restored a reduced spin speed will be used.

If loads are seriously unbalanced the spin stage will be cancelled. This helps limit vibration, reduce noise and improve the washing machine's reliability and life.

Programme Selector

For handling the various types of fabric and their level of soiling in your laundry the washing machine has different programme groups according to type of wash, temperature, spin speeds and duration (see Programme Guide).

Cottons

The Cottons programmes are designed for maximum washing and rinsing. With spin cycles in between, they guarantee the laundry is rinsed perfectly. The final spin cycle ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the maximum speed.

Synthetics and mixed fabrics

Washing and rinsing performance is optimised through drum rotation speeds and water levels. The delicate spin action minimises creasing.

Delicates

This is a new concept in washing, with a cycle that consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses, particularly suitable for washing very delicate fabrics. Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results.

Rinse, Spin and Drain

Individual programmes are available for rinsing, (including the opportunity to add fabric conditioner), spinning, at 800rpm or less if selected via the button, and draining the water from the machine.

Special Programmes

Woolmark ( )

This is a programme dedicated to washing fabrics labelled with the woolmark symbol . The cycle consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses. Washing and rinsing are carried out using a high water level to provide the best results. The programme has a maximum temperature of 30°C and concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and a short spin.

Silk ( )

This washing machine also has a gentle Silk and Hand Wash programme. This programme allows a complete washing cycle for garments specified as “Hand Wash only” and laundry items made from silk or specified “Wash as silk” on the fabric label.

The programme has a maximum temperature of 30°C and concludes with 3 rinses, one for fabric conditioner, and no final spin.

Sports

This washing machine has a unique Sportswear programme.

It is specially designed to wash mixed sportswear fabrics that cannot be washed on hotter programmes and is designed to remove the soiling and staining created by participation in sports activities.

This programme starts with a cold prewash that breaks down and loosens any excess dirt and then washes at a cool 30°C, rinses twice (one is for fabric conditioner) and spins slowly for the best care of your heavily soiled, delicate garments.

Detergent for the prewash part of the programme should be added to compartment I and detergent for the mainwash should be added to compartment II. Follow the instructions given in 'The Dispenser' section.
