Installation
|
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe |
|
GB |
||
place for future reference. If the washing machine |
||
|
||
|
is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the |
|
|
||
|
instruction manual remains with the machine so |
|
|
that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/ |
|
|
herself with its operation and features. |
|
|
! Read these instructions carefully: they |
|
|
contain vital information relating to the safe |
|
|
installation and operation of the appliance. |
|
|
Unpacking and levelling |
Unpacking
1.Remove the washing machine from its packaging.
2.Make sure that the washing machine has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.
3.Remove the 4
protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the
appliance (see figure).
4.Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5.Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness
by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation
to the worktop, must
not exceed 2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting
while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine.
Connecting the electricity and water supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a ¾ gas threaded connection (see figure).
Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose to the
washing machine by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
!The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details table (see page 5).
!If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.
!Never use second-hand hoses.
!Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose
65 - 100 cm |
Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;
Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap
The drain hose may be connected to an under-sink trap. Before connecting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot.
If it is placed over the edge of a basin or sink be sure the free end of the hose should not be underwater.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length. Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.
Electric connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:
•the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law;
•the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum power load indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine;
• the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on GB the machine.
• the socket is compatible with the washing machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions below.
WARNING-THISAPPLIANCEMUSTBEEARTHED. THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.
Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval. or:
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket.
Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:

Care and maintenance
|
Cutting off the water and electricity |
|

||
supplies |
||
|
||
|
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. |
|
|
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside |
|
|
the washing machine and help to prevent leaks. |
|
|
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it |
|
|
and during all maintenance work. |
Cleaning the washing machine
•The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
•The washing machine has a “Auto Clean” programme for its internal parts that must be
run with no load in the drum.
For maximum performance you may want to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles. To start the programme press buttons A and B simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure). The programme will start automatically and
will last approximately 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2)
(see figure).
Wash it under running water; this procedure should be repeated frequently.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a selfcleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

1. Take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it
(see figures).
2. Unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal.
3.Clean the inside thoroughly.
4.Screw the lid back on.
5.Reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
Caring for the door and drum of your appliance
•Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
