Thank-you for choosing a Hoover washing machine. We are proud to always offer new, innovative and technologically advanced products, with a complete range of home appliances to ensure true assistance in your daily routine.

Carefully read this manual for correct and safe appliance use and for helpful tips on efficient maintenance.

Only use the washing machine after carefully reading these instructions. We recommend you always keep this manual on hand and in good condition for any future owners.

Please check that the appliance is delivered with this instruction manual, warranty certificate, water and energy efficiency label. Also check that plugs, curve for drain hose and liquid detergent or bleach tray (only on some models) are included. We recommend you keep all these components.

Each product is identified by a unique 16character code, also called the “serial number”, printed on the sticker affixed to the appliance (porthole area) or in the document envelope found inside the product.

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

! WEEE should not be treated as household

waste;

! WEEE should be handed over to the relevant

collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.

If the appliance is used in a manner inconsistent with this it may reduce the life of the appliance and may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Any damage to the appliance or other damage or loss arising through use that is not consistent with domestic or household use (even if located in a domestic or household environment) shall not be accepted by the manufacturer to the fullest extent permitted by law.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of

the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

! Children should be supervised

to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

! Children of less than 3 years

should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

! If the supply cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

! Only use the hose-sets

supplied with the appliance for the water supply connection (do not reuse old hose-sets).

! Water pressure must be between

0,05 MPa and 0,8 MPa.

! Make sure that carpet does not

obstruct the base of the machine and ventilation openings.

! The OFF condition is reached

placing the reference mark on the programmes control/knob in the vertical position. Any other different position of such control sets the machine in ON condition (only for models with programmes knob).

! The final part of a washer dryer

cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

! After installation, the appliance

must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

! The appliance must not be

installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the washer dryer, in such way that a full opening of the washer dryer door is restricted.

! The maximum load capacity for

washing dry clothes is 7kg. The maximum load capacity for Tumble drying is 5kg. Hence the maximum load capacity for Automatic washing and drying is 5kg (5+5).

! The appliance is not to be used

if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.

! Do not dry unwashed items in

the washer dryer.

! Items that have been soiled with

substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the washer dryer.

! Items such as foam rubber (latex

foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the washer dryer.

! Fabric softeners, or similar

products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as a washer dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil, Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

! If it is unavoidable that fabrics

contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a washer dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

WARNING:

never stop a washer dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;

- to have removed rollers from curtains;

- to have carefully read clothing washing labels;

- to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.

! When washing rugs, bedcovers or other

heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid spinning.

! To wash wool, make sure the item can be

machine washed. Check the fabric label.

A guide to 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.

Before using a drying programme (WASHER-DRYERS)

! SAVE energy and time by selecting a

high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.

Load tips

Helpful suggestions for the user

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a

normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid

detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing. Please note - dilute viscous liquid detergent with warm water if necessary.

For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. The washing machine does not require any special care for ordinary cleaning: clean drawer compartments and the filter; some tips on how to move the machine or on long periods of disuse are provided below.

! We recommend you clean the drawer to

avoid accumulating detergent and additive residue.

! To do this, extract the drawer using slight

force, clean it with running water and reinsert it in its housing.

! The washing machine comes with a

special filter able to trap large residue, such as buttons or coins, which could clog the drain.

! ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN MODELS:

pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.

! Before unscrewing the filter, we

recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry.

! Turn the filter counter-clockwise.

! Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

! Repeat the previous steps in reverse

order to reassemble all parts.

! If the washing machine will not be used

for an extended amount of time and will be store in a cold area ensure all water is drained from the hoses to prevent freezing.

! Unplug the washing machine.

! Detach the hose from the strap and lower

it, fully draining water into a bowl.

DRYING SELECTION INDICATOR LIGHTS

The indicators display the degrees of dryness that can be selected by the relevant button:

EXTRA DRY

(suitable for towels, bathrobes and bulky loads).

IRON DRY

(that leaves the laundry ready for ironing).

CUPBOARD DRY

(for items that will be put away without ironing).

2) CYCLE DURATION

! When a programme is selected the

display automatically shows the typical cycle duration, which can vary, depending on the options selected.

! During the initial filling phase of the cycle

the machine calculates the actual cycle time needed based on the load size, content and options selected. The real time of the wash will then be displayed. This time can recaulculate during the wash depending on detergent levels and load balancing.

To prevent damage to the fabrics, it is not possible to increase the speed over the maximum allowed for the programme.

An over dosing of detergent can cause excessive foaming. If the appliance detects the presence of excessive foam, it may exclude the spinning phase or extend the duration of the program and increase water consumption.

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.

To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of soil, the washing machine has specific programs to meet every need of washing (see table of programmes).

WASHING

Active Steam

This exclusive programme uses a steam treatment that allows you to reduce and relax the creases reaching the ideal moisture level easier ironing. Through a dedicated button it’s possible to select three different levels of intensity, customizing for dry or wet items, and accordingly on the type of fabric.

ALL IN ONE technology

This washing machine is equipped with an innovative system with an high pressure jet that sprays a mixture of water and detergent directly into the load. The special motor movement used in this machine manages the drum movement during the start up of each programme, in conjunction with the high pressure jet spraying the detergent mixture into the load, the cycle includes a set of spin actions that helps the detergent solution to penetrate into the fibers, helping dirt removal and ensuring the best available wash performance. The ALL IN ONE system is also used during the water load phases where the high pressure jet aids the complete removal of detergent residues trapped in the clothes.

Mixed All In One

This programme allows you to wash different type’s fabrics and different colours all together. The rotational movement of the drum and the water levels are optimized during the washing and rinsing phases. The accurate spin action, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabrics. Thanks to ALL IN ONE technology, a complete washing cycle optimization is possible.

IMPORTANT WASH PERFORMANCE ADVICE:

! New, coloured garments should be

washed separately for at least 5 or 6 washes.

! Certain large dark items such as jeans

and towels should always be washed separately.

! Never mix NON COLOURFAST fabrics.

All Hygiene

This programme ensures a deep cleaning, an effective sanitizing and anti-allergic action thanks to an optimized cycle in terms of temperature and rinse cycles, eliminating allergens and detergent residues. Ideal for people with sensitive skin. It is suitable for cotton garments, washed at 60°C temperature and is suggested for a reduced load.

All In One 59 Min.

This programme allows you to wash mixed fabrics such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics in only 59 minutes, using the full load of the washing machine, at 40°C (or less) temperature. This programme is particularly suited to slightly soiled fabrics.

Rapid (14-30-44 Min.)

Washing cycle suggested for low loads and slightly soiled. With this program it is recommended to reduce the quantity of detergent normally used, in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Selecting the RAPID program and acting on the button you can choose one of three programs available.

Cottons

This program is suitable to clean normally soiled cotton laundry and it is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing cotton laundry (when selected at 40°C, maximum stain/soil level, 1500 RPM spin speed).

Whites + Prewash

This programme has been designed to remove the stronger stains from cotton white clothes. The prewash guarantees the tough dirt removal. Add into compartment "1" a quantity of detergent equal to 20% of that used for main wash.

Programmes selection

Rinse

This program performs 3 rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the appropriate button) . It is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for example after a wash carried out by hand.

Drain & Spin

The program completes the drain and a maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce the spin with the SPIN SPEED button.

Delicates

This program has reduced periods of drum rotation during the cycle and is particularly suitable or washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.

Wool & Silk

This programme allows a delicate washing cycle, particularly suited to garments specified as "Machine-Washable" Wool fabrics and laundry items made from Silk or specified as "Wash as Silk" on the fabric label.

DRYING

The drum changes direction during the drying cycle to prevent the laundry from tangling and producing even more drying. Cool air is used during the last 10/20 minutes of the drying cycle to minimize creasing.

Dry Wool

Low temperature drying programme, ideal to dry woollen clothes with maximum care and softness, reducing rubbing of fabrics and avoid possible felting. It’s suggested to reverse clothing before drying. Timing is related to the amount of the washing and the spin speed selected for the wash. The cycle is suitable for small loads up to 1 kg (3 sweaters).

Mixed (Low Heat)

Low temperature drying programme recommended for synthetics and mixed fibres (always refer to the laundry care label).

Cottons (High Heat)

High temperature drying programme recommended for cottons and linen items (always refer to the laundry care label).

practical experience of using the product will help you to achieve the best drying results.

! We recommend setting a lower drying

time than indicated, when first using the appliance in order to establish the degree of dryness required.

! We recommend not drying fabrics that

fray easily, such as rugs or garments with a deep pile, in order to avoid air duct clogging.

! We recommend that you sort the laundry

by the following methods:

- By drying care symbols, which are displayed on the clothing labels

Suitable for tumble drying.

Tumble dry at high temperature.

Tumble dry at low temperature only.

DO NOT tumble dry.

OTHER ANOMALIES

Problem

Possible causes and practical solutions

The washing machine does not work / start

Make sure the product is plugged into a working supply socket.

Make sure power is on.

Make sure the wall socket is working, testing it with another appliance such as a lamp.

The door may not be correctly closed: open and close it again.

Check whether the required program was correctly selected and the start button pressed.

Make sure the washing machine is not in pause or time delay mode.

Water leaked on the floor near the washing machine

This may be due to a leak from the seal between the tap, supply hose and fill valve; in this case, replace it and tighten the hose connections correctly.

Make sure the front filter is correctly closed.

The washing machine does not spin

The machine is fitted with a detection system that protects the load and product from damage if the load is not balanced before spinning. This may result in:-

• The machine attempts to balance the load, increasing the time of spin.

• Reduction of the speed of spin to decrease vibrations and noise.

• The spin cycle aborting to protect the machine and load.

If this is experienced remove the load de-tangle it, reload it and restart the spin program.

This could be due to the fact that water has not been completely drained: wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, see Error 3 section.

Some models include a "no spin" function: make sure it is not selected.

Check which options are selected and their effect on the spin cycle.

Excessive detergent can impede the spin cycle, ensure the correct amount of detergent is being used.

Strong vibrations / noises are heard during the spin cycle

The washing machine may not be fully levelled: if necessary, adjust the feet as indicated in the specific section.

Make sure transport screws, rubber bungs and spacer tubes were removed.

Make sure there are no foreign objects inside the drum (coins, hinges, buttons, etc…).
