Suitable Installation Surroundings
It is important that you adhere to the following guidelines to get optimal noise and
vibration reduction from your machine:
The machine should be installed on a solid surface*•
The machine should not be installed on thick carpet or a loose carpet/ooring •
such as a rug, carpet tiles however are acceptable if properly xed
The machine should be properly levelled•
Clearance should be allowed at either side and top for movement and ventila-•
tion purposes
Your machine is designed to be operated from UK mains votage only in a suit-•
able area in accordance with legislation
* Installation to a “oating” oor or many types of wooden oor can cause excessive vibration if not installed and
levelled correctly
Connections
Your new machine requires three “connections” to operate as folows:
Cold water ll from a 3/4” BSP inlet connection•
Drain to either standpipe (ideal) or sink trap connection•
13A UK three-pin plug point•
Water Connection
The machine should be connected using the included 1.5M ll hose to a suitable
water inlet tap. Should you not have one avaibable please contact a plumber for
further assistance in tting one.
The maximum recommended distance, with a suitable extended ll hose is 2.5M
from the inlet.
The ll hose should be connected using the washers supplied in order to prevent
leaks and should be tightened to “hand tight” to achive an optimal connection.
Overtightening of this connection may result in the hose connection splitting so
please be careful.
The machine will operate between 1 and 8 BAR pressure and the incoming water
pressure can greatly aect program running times.
The water ll pipe should be connected to
the machine as shown in the diagram to the
right
Do not use the old hose!
CHECK AND ENSURE THERE ARE NO LEAKS AFTER CONNECTING!
2
water out
Drainage Connection
The machine should be connected using the xed 1.5M drain hose to a suitable
drainage point on your home plumbing. If this is not available or seems unsuitable
you may require a plumber to alter your drainage point to suit an automatic washing machine.
Should you require an extended drain hose to reach the drain point the maximum
advisable length of hose is 2.5M, extending any further than this may cause issues
with draining.
It is vital that the drain hose is elevated within the guidelines shown in the diagram
below. Failure to do so can cause “backlling” where the machine can ll from the
home plumbing causing malodours and this is not covered by warranty
Be sure that water inlet and drain hoses are not folded, twisted, crushed or •
stretched
Water drain hose should be mounted at a height of minimum 50 cm, maxi-•
mum 100 cm from the ground
The end of the drain hose may directly be tted to the waste water outlet hole •
or a special apparatus mounted on the outlet bracket of the wash-stand
Never attempt to extend the water drain hose by adding extra parts without •
advice from an engineer or installer, drain extension kits are strongly discouraged

50cm minimum
levelling
power
Mains Voltage Connection
Your machine requires a UK 13A standard plug point from which to draw power and
is pre-tted with a standard 13A plugtop which is moulded onto the power lead.
Wherever possible this should be inserted directly to a suitable plug point and not
an extension lead or suchlike.
Your machine contains sensitive electronic components which, if fed a poor or irregular power supply, can manifest “ghost” faults, that is, faults that are generated
by an irregular or poor power supply that cause the electronics to become unstable.
It is therefore very important that the mains supply is good.
Should you wish or require to extend the power supply please contact your installer
or an appliance engineer for a suitable solution.
Levelling The Machine
One very important part of the installation is to ensure, after the machine is placed
into postion that it is level and solid. Failure to do so can lead to excessive vibration
and noise from the machine as well as poor or no spin if the vibration reaches a
level that it operates the machine’s built in anti-imbalance circuitry.
To do this it is best advised to use a spirit level on the lid of the machine ensuring
that the top is level from front to back and side to side. This is not always possible
where the machine is installed beneath a worktop and, in this case, a thin spirit
level placed on the leading edge will allow you to ensure the machine is as level as
possible from the front.
Levelling is made easy by using the front feet as shown above.
Simply loosen the plastic locking ring, adjust the oor to the desired height by
screwing or unscrewing as usual to level the machine using your spirit level.
Once complete screw the locking plastic rings back to lock each foot into position
and to ensure that they remain as set.

Section 2: Programs
In this section we will deal with the various programs and functions of the washing
machine and take you through it step by step. Please feel free to use this guide as a
reference and doing so will ensure that you get the best possible results from your
machine.
The rst part of the machine that we will explain is the program dial which you use
to set the various programs depending on the fabric type and level of soiling (how
dirty the clothes are). The choice of the proper program is very important if you
wish to receive the best possible results.
The program dial is divided into seven main sections (detailed below) for each different type of wash with one of those sections oering additional rinse, spin and
drain functions.
Cotton
This section is
for cottons and
mixed fabrics
Synthetics
This section is for
synthetic fabrics
Delicate
This section is for
delicate bres
Wool
This section is for
woolen or handwash only bres
Drain/Spin Section
This section is to allow
an extra drain, rinse
or spin
As the above diagram shows how the control dial and programs are split into easy
to follow groupings making it far easier to select rst by fabric type and then by
wash temperature. Or any other special requirements or programs which we shall
explain further on in this guide.

Program Guide & Symbols
Now that you know what section of the dial is used for what type of fabric it becomes easy to select the program that you desire to use within each section. On the
ISE2 this mainly falls down to simply selecting the temperature of wash that you
require and pressing the start button.
However, there are many special programs on the dial which we shall explain in
detail later which may benet you under certain circumstances or for special care
fabrics.
It is worth taking heed of the fabric care labels on many modern garments as they
can use special bre mixes and, if you use the wrong program, you can damage
these more delicate items.
Cycle Times
Throughout this guide we do give approximate cycle times which we have veried
under test. However it is very important to note that these can vary by a considerable degree depending on local conditions and the time of year and should therefore be regarded as for guidance only.
During the winter the incoming cold water temperature is often several degrees
lower than it is during the summer months and this leads to additional heating time
and this will aect these times.
Water pressure can also massively change the cycle times. A lower water pressure
would mean that on every ll the machine takes slightly longer and can lead to
longer than anticipated cycle times.
If the machine completes the cycle but takes longer than you would expect then
there is no fault with the machine it is just being aected by local conditions such
as these.
Also note that the remaining time may change with changes in conditions as the
machine will readjust as required and update the time remaining as required.
Sorting Laundry
More than any other factor, sorting your laundry into whites/lights and coloured
items is essential to getting good results and we strongly advise that you do not
mix light or white items with coloured ones on any program. Doing so can lead to
discolouration and dye transfer which may well be irreversable.
It is also important that you use two detergents, one for whites/lights that is bleach
containing and one specically for coloured items which does not contain any
bleach. Doing this will ensure that your machine remains in good order and that
your clothes last much longer.

cottons
Cotton Washes
Cotton and mixed fabric washes are the most common washes used in the UK, in
particular the 40°C wash. With modern energy saving methods it is possible to use
very little electricity and reduce the water consumption but this does mean that the
wash time is extended.
Where time is not such a concern please use the standard programs to achieve a
deeper clean and to reduce water and electricity consumption.
It is worth noting that the wash agitation is greater on all the cotton cycles than
that of synthetic or delicates cycles for a deeper and more intensive cleaning however, if you repeatedly place delicate items in a cotton cycle it can cause damage to
your clothing.
The following section details the uses and features of each cotton cycle.
This is the standard cotton 60°C cycle and is the best program for most cottons,
especially if worn next to the skin or used in bedding which is not too dirty. Using
this program for bedding also ensures that almost all mites are destroyed.
This program is ideal for most towelling and bedding etc.
Uses detergent compartment 2
Ideal for: Medium/heavy soiled cotton or linen textiles and bedding
Can be used with: Full load (6kg) - Easy Ironing - ECO/Intense - Variable Rinse Level
Approximate cycle time: 89 minutes
The 40°C cotton cycle is the most commonly used wash cycle in the UK as it copes
admirably with most everday washing and should prove ecient and eective for
most clothing. Most cottons or cotton mixes can be washed safely on this cycle and
you will have all the benets of stain removal.
This is the program that we would recommend for most everday washing for the
best results.

This is the cotton 95°C cycle and is essentially a boil wash. It should be used for very
heavily soiled items that require to be eectively sterilised. It can also be used for
bleaching and dying items as instructed by the garment label.

Ideal for: Very heavily soiled cotton or linen textiles
Can be used with: Full load (6kg) - Easy Ironing - ECO/Intense - Variable Rinse Level
Approximate cycle time: 149 minutes
The eect plus cycle wash is a 95°C cycle with a 40˚C pre-wash. It should be used for
very heavily soiled cotton or linen and gives a very strong wash.
Uses detergent compartment 1 and 2 (1 = Prewash / 2= Main Wash)
Ideal for: Very heavily soiled cotton (bedding) or linen textiles including coloured
items

This program allows a mix of fabrics (cotton & synthetic) to be washed eectively
in a short time whilst retaining the best possible stain removal characteristics. For
most everday mixed wash loads you will nd this program very eective and fast.
Please note that this program is half load only and has a short spin cycle.

delicates
Delicate & Special Washes
Delicate items, especially machine washable wool or wool mixed fabrics will require
a more gentle wash than the synthetic washes in order to give the best possible
care for your clothes. These programs have a lower drum agitation and so are
gentler to your clothes and none will heat above 30°C or oer the full spin speed, all
these programs will spin at the lower speed.
It is very important that, when washing wool or woolen mix items that you use a
detergent for that specic purpose. Failure to use the correct detergent will almost
certainly result in damage, primarily shrinkage, to your clothes which cannot be
reversed.
It is also important to not spin delicate items if they are labelled as being unsuitable
for spinning and hence the delicates program stops with water in the drum.
The delicate 30°C cycle is designed with a very gentle wash action to care for very
delicate bres such as silk mixtures, polyester, polimiads and so on. The need for
this cycle will be shown on your fabric care label.
Uses detergent compartment 2
Ideal for: Slightly soiled wool or delicate textiles including coloured items
Can be used with: 1/3 load - ECO/Intense - Variable Rinse Level
Approximate cycle time: 44 minutes
delicate 30°C
The wool 30°C cycle is designed with a very gentle wash action to care for both
hand and machine washable woolen items. However it is extremely important to
use the correct “Wool” detergent when washing woolens as well as to use less than
half the drum capacity to allow these items to move freely around the drum.

Please remember that your choice of detergent is vital to get outstanding
results when using woolen and delicate cycles
11
synthetic
Synthetic Washes
Synthetic washes are for man made bres are also known as acrylics on some older
garments and require a more gentle wash action than most cotton based fabrics.
Therefore these washes have a lower agitation speed and are more gentle in the
washing process. It is important that you select the correct wash type as for example, should you wash a synthetic printed t-shirt on a cottons wash by mistake, you
can cause damage to the fabric of the garment and this can lead to a loss of quality
in the print or the fabric itself.
If you are unsure of what wash to use please refer to the wash labels section later
in this guide and, if this information is unavailable, we would advise that you select
a gentle wash to avoid damage to your clothes. Conversely, washing a cotton item
that requires a higher level of agitation on a synthetic program may not clean it
properly.
The rest of this section will explain the various synthetic wash options and what
they are used for.
The synthetic 60°C cycle should only be used when the care label of the garment
specically states that it can be used for dirty synthetic or mixed synthetic garments.

Section 3: Using Your Machine
Your machine has been designed with great care and thought to be as simple to
use as possible and, now that you understand the various programs and how the
timer dial is arranged, you can see that it is as intuative as possible.
This section is all about how to use your machine and oers advice on getting the
most from your ISE.
First Use
When your machine is delivered you may nd that there is some residual water
from factory testing in the machine, this is nothing to be concerned about and is
perfectly normal.
Although not absolutely necessary we do recommend that you run a “maintenance
wash” when the machine is rst installed as it accomplishes several things at once:
You establish that the machine is operating normally•
That the machine is installed correctly •
That the machine is clear and clean internally•
It also allows you to see how the machine operates and become familiar with the
controls and soap dispenser section.
To carry out a maintenance wash:
Place a normal dose of bleach containing detergent (see page 20) in compart-•
ment 2 of the soap drawer
Do not place any clothing in the drum•
Turn main control dial to the Cotton 60˚C or 95°C wash•
Ensure that the door is closed and latched•
Press the Start/Pause button•
Allow the program to complete•
This will clean and refresh the insides of the machine and a regular maintenance
wash is recommended about once a month to keep the inside of the machine
clean, fresh and operational. Should you ever encounter any malodour or smell
from the machine please run at least one maintenance wash to clear the smell.
13
use
We feel that, even although ISE machines are designed to be as simple and easy to
use as possible, that you familiarise yourself with the various controls and functions
of the machine before beginning to wash.
To use the machine simply select the desired program for the relevant type of laundry, then select any options that you wish to use and press the “Start” button. For
most everyday use this is sucient.
However we will now show you the various functions and uses of the controls.
The LCD panel shows the status and progress of the machine
The program control knob (shown on page 5) is used to select the various
programs described in previous sections of this guide
The four buttons here control the wash various
options, described in more detail on page 9
This is the “Start/Reset” button with the door locked light
above it. This button is use to start and run the machine
once the program and options have been chosen
The door open LED (above the Start button) will ash if
there is an error detected or if the door is detected as not
being correctly closed.

LCD Display
The LCD display oers a simple way to see which options have been selected for
your wash as well as displaying the current status during a program and an estimate of the wash time remaining.
The panel will also show, at a glance, if the machine is set to delay a wash.

Detergent Drawer
For most washes all that is required is to use compartment “2” of the soap dispenser
and the middle fabric conditioner one if required. Compartment “1” is only used for
pre-wash detergent where required by the cycle chosen.
Loading Laundry
In order for the washing machine to clean your clothing the garments placed in the
drum must have room to move. This means that you should not cram the machine
full and eectively overload the drum. Should you do so then there is a risk of
damage to the machine and the clothing as well as inferior cleaning results so it is
highly inadvisable.
To load correctly you should always have an approximate 10cm gap (roughly the
width of your hand) between the top of the laundry and the top of the door as
shown in the photograph below:
This shows the correct amount of space that is required to obtain the optimal results from your ISE and, loaded correctly with the correct detergent being used your
machine will deliver great washing results.

Starting The Machine
Once you have loaded the machine and placed the detergent in the correct compartment of the soap drawer or placed the detergent in the drum you are ready to
close the door and select your desired program and options selected.
Should the door not be closed correctly or hindered in some way the safety features
of the machine will not allow it to start and if this should happen then the start/
pause light will blink to indicate that the door is not correctly closed.
Select any options that you wish to use on that program and the corresponding
indicators will light.
To begin the program now press the Start/Pause button once and the program will
start.
Changing The Program
If you have selected a program and wish to change it follow this procedure:
Press the Start button•
Turn the program dial to the “O” (O ) position•
Set the program dial to the desired program•
Press the Start/Pause button again to start the new selection•
Cancel A Program
Should you wish to cancel a program follow this procedure:
Press the Start button•
Turn the program dial to the “O” (O ) position•
Set the program dial to the draining or spinning program•
Press the Start/Pause button again to drain and clear the program•
Program End
Once the Program has ended the machine will automatically stop and the program
end light will be lit. Turn the program selector to the “O” (O) position to switch the
machine o.

options
Program Options
The program option buttons allow more exability in the programs and for you
to tailor the programs to the way in which you want them to work. They are also
required for some fabrics, such as the variable spin speed option which is required
for delicate silks and suchlike.
Please note the symbols below and, in the previous guide to each program, you
can quickly see which options are available on which programs as some options are
not available on all programs since either they are not required or they could prove
detrimental to the type of fabric that the program is designed to be used with.
Where the options are not available pressing the function button/s will have no
eect.
The Easy Ironing option limits the spin speed to 800rpm and also, when the cycle is
complete, the drum will agitate to minimise creasing.
The Washing button oers the three wash options, standard, Eco and intensive.
The Eco option reduces the rinses by one rinse and oers savings on detergent and
energy use for lightly soiled clothing.
The spin speed button allows you to change the spin speed to suit various types of
fabric and clothing.
The rinsing option give you a choice of the standard rinsing for the selected program which is the default. Extra will add one rinse to the selected program and
sensitive will result in ve rinses being used for people with sensitive skin or skin
allergies to ensure outstanding rinse results.

Laundry Sorting & Detergents
The very rst thing to do is sort your laundry into white/lights, separate coloured or
dark items and articles that require special treatments, such as wool or hand wash
clothing. This is essential to prevent dye transfer and to keep your clothes looking
good for longer.
It is no more or less expensive than simply using the same detergent for all as many
people do, but it will ensure far superior results from your washing machine as well
as helping to retain your clothes good looks for much longer.
You will require a minimum of two detergents and possibly three if you wash delicates:
Normal detergent containing bleach•
Colour detergent that does not contain bleach•
Special detergents for wools and delicates•
From an environmental standpoint we recommend Simply by Aquados for both
normal biological detergent or non-biological and also for colour detergent. This is
the only detergent which will deliver excellent results and environmental benets.
This is also the only detergent currently bearing the EU Eco Flower mark.
You can nd out more at www.simplywashing.com
Should you wish to wash woolen, part woolen or other delicate items it is essential
that you use a mild detergent or you will damage the clothing. We would suggest
that a mild detergent such as Woolite is ideal for such garments.
Important Notes:
Bleach containing detergent is normal powder or tablets only and this includes
both biological and non-biological powders or tablets.
Colour detergent does not contain any bleach at all.
No liquid or liquid tablets contain bleach.
Normally no delicate detergents contain bleach.
WARNING!
Use only detergent that is recommended for domestic automatic (front loading)
washing machines as other detergents such as commercial or toploader/twin
tub detergents can cause damage that will not be covered by your warranty.

symbols
Laundry Symbols
All clothing manufactured has laundry symbols on the garment’s labelling that will
give an indication of the recommendations for washing without causign damage
to the garments as well as extending the life of them. Washed incorrectly some
items may become damaged in a few washes or it could take many for the item to
become damaged. It is important that you follow the labels as much as possible to
ensure that your clothes last as long as possible and remain looking new.
In normal circumstances the main ve laundry symbols are shown below although
there are various options shown with these symbols as the maximum temperature
suitable will be shown in the “bucket” where applicable.
Normal Wash Process
Any program can be used dependendent on the temperature indicated
but a vigorous wash process is recommended. Pre-treat stubborn stains.
Mild Wash Process
“Easy care” coloured wash: reduce the quantity of laundry. Pre-wash
only if the textiles are heavily soiled. Avoid spinning or do spin for short
periods only to minimise the risk of creasing. Maximum temperature will
be indicated in the bucket.
Very Mild Wash Process
For articles e.g. in machine-washable wool. This washing cycle ensures a
low mechanical treatment. Reduce the quantity of laundry substantially,
the drum should be not more than on-third full. Select an appropriate
delicates washing program.
Pay particular attention to the detergent instructions as use of the wrong
detergent me irreparably damage delicate items.
Do Not Wash
Articles marked in this way must not be washed. They may be sensitive
to any kind of wet treatment or be unsuitable for washing in a washing
machine because of their size.
Hand Wash Only
Garments with symbol can only be hand washed or washed in your
machine using the special hand wash program at a water temperature
between 30° C and a maximum of 40° C, depending on the particular
article.

safety
Your ISE washing machine has several modern safety and security features built in
in order to protect your clothing, property and the machine itself. It is important
that you familiarise yourself with these features
Balance Protection
The machine has a feature built into the electronics that will detect what is known
as an “out of balance” or OOB situation where the weight of clothing in the drum
could cause damage by being spun through excessive vibration. Things that are liable to make this feature engage is where single items of clothing, especially heavy
items such as towels or jeans, would not distribute evenly around the drum before
the machine spins.
The machine will attempt, before entering into a spin cycle, to sort and distribute
the washing to give as even a balance as possible thereby minimising any vibrations and making the machine smoother and quieter in operation.
However, should the machine not be able to evenly distribute the laundry to ensure
that the machine spins in a safe and controlled manner the spin cycle will abort
after several attempts to compensate.
In order to avoid this situation we would suggest washing several items at once or,
where this is not possible, add “ballast” to the machine so that it can spin safely. This
practise of not washing single items where it is avoidable is far more ecient and
environmentally friendly.
Overll & Overheat
Your machine is also equipped with sensors that will detect both an overll and
overheat situation. Both of these features work in the background and require no
user intervention.
Should either of these features be activated an error message will be indicated by
way of a fault code and you should contact your nearest service centre for further
assistance (see page 26).
Door Safety Device
Your machine has a door safety device that prevents the door from being opened
inadvertently or by a child whilst in operation. This door lock will also remain locked
for approximately two minutes after the wash cycle has been completed and the
drum has stopped moving.
Section 4: Safety & Security
safety
Power Failure Protection
Your machine has a feature whereby if you suer from a power loss or power cut,
that when power is restored the machine will continue operation from the point at
which it stopped.
This is not harmful to your machine.
Drain Protection
Your machine also has a safety feature that will prevent it from spinning when full
of water, for instance if the machine fails to drain for any reason.
This is to prevent possible damage to the machine by trying to spin too much
weight as well as to stop water leaking. Should this happen please contact your
nearest service centre for more assistance.
care
Taking a little care and regularly cleaning your machine will ensure a longer life and
better performance.
Soap Drawer
Section 5: Care & Maintenance
22
The soap drawer can easily be removed for cleaning
purposes, simply pull the drawer open and when it
stops simply pull forward again to remove the drawer
completely.
It is advised that this is cleaned approximately once a
month as well as the inside of the drawer to prevent a
build up of excess detergent and softener which can
lead to mould or mildew forming in the drawer.
The siphon plug can then be removed for cleaning as, if
this becomes blocked, the machine may not take fabric
conditioner correctly.
Both parts shown should be cleaned regularly so that
the softener is dispensed correctly.

care
To access the lter simply push the dimple on the
lter cover to open the door as indicated by the
arrow in Diagram 1.
After You have opened the lter cover as shown in
Diagram 2 you can pull out the “drain down” hose
and empty any residual water from the machine
by holding the hose over a bowl or dish and pulling the grey stopper from the end.
This is a useful safety feature that allows you to
also drain the machine down manually should the
machine fail to drain for any reason.
The lter can then be removed by simply unscrewing it.
Once the lter is removed you will be able to see the blades of the drain pump and
you can see if these are clear with no objects blocking them or impairing their way.
The lter should be clear of all objects and any u, coins, pins or any other materials should be removed to prevent damage or a failure to drain.
WARNING!
Always remember to place towelling on the oor to catch excess water!
Please note that damage caused by foreign objects or faults arising from these
being present may not be covered by your warranty.
Pump Filter
The lter is located at the bottom right hand side of the front panel of the machine
behind the lter door and can be easily accessed for cleaning. Please remember to
clear this on a failry regular basis as small items such as coins and pins inadvertantly
left in pockets will end up here. However it is vital that pockets are checked as items
left in clothing can cause severe damage to the machine and any damage may not
be covered by your warranty if it is caused by external objects.
There is also a “drain down” hose here that can be used to ensure that the machine
is empty before you open the lter or to drain the machine down should the drain
function fail to work for some reason.
WARNING!
Failure to clear the lter on a regular basis can cause drainage and or noise
problems that may not be covered by your warranty!

help
Very often simple problems are easily rectied often without any need for a service
engineer to visit. Should you encounter any behaviour from the machine that you
feel is unusual or not normal in some way please pay particular attention to this
section before contacting a service centre.
The machine will not start or power on
Check the plug and fuse for the machine making sure that power is available to the
socket to which the machine is plugged into.
Start/Pause button not pressed
Program knob set to “O” (O) position
Door not closed
The machine will not ll with water
Is the water inlet tap switched on and the hose not bent or obstructed?
Door not closed
The machine will not drain water
Ensure that the drain hose is not obstructed or bent and that the drain is clear. This
is especially important where connected to a sink trap.
Pump lter may be obstructed, please check that it is clear
The machine vibrates
Ensure that the transit straps have been removed (see page 1)
Ensure that the feet have been adjusted and the machine is level (See page 4)
Ensure that the load is balanced as best as possible
Is the ooring that the machine is installed on solid? It is possible that installation
on a wooden “oating” oor can lead to vibration.
There is foam in the detergent drawer
Too much detergent has been used, please reduce the doseage.
Incorrect detergent used, please use a recommended detergent for domestic use
automatic washing machines only
The washing results are poor
The single biggest cause of this is overloading, please see page 18 of this guide for
loading advice and instruction.
Have you selected the suitable program for the laundry type?
Incorrect detergent used, please use a recommended detergent for domestic use
automatic washing machines only or insucient detergent used to clean correctly.

Cont./
Ensure that the detergent dose meets the criteria based on soil level (how dirty
the clothing is), the water hardness for the area and the amount of laundry being
cleaned.
The water drains as it lls
The drain hose is set too low and must be raised in accordance with the installation
instructions on page 3
There is dirty water in the machine after use
The machine is lling with water from your drainage system. Very often this is a
result of the drain hose being too low and connected to a sink trap or a fault with
your plumbing which may require the attention of a plumber.
No water is seen in the drum
No fault. Today’s energy ecient washing machines use much less water and the
water will rarely, if ever, be seen above the level of the door.
There are residues on the clothes
Invariably caused by overloading or overdosing detergent.
The machine does not spin
Imbalanced load, see page 20
Blocked or obstructed lter, see page 22-23 for instructions on cleaning the lter
The washing machine smells
There are no components in the washing machine’s construction that can cause any malodour from the drum or
drain. In virtually every instance any odour will be caused by
prolonged or exclusive use of liquid detergent or a detergent
that does not contain bleach or sucient bleach to clear the
machine of any bacteria.
It is therefore imperative, especially where liquid detergents
are used, to periodically clean the machine using a maintenance wash as described on page 12 or by using Aresh
washing machine cleaner regularly.
Whilst a maintenance wash is sucient when carried out regularly Aresh is more eective and, often more convenient for
many people. Regular use as described by the manufacturer
will keep the inside drum and tub free of bacteriologic build
ups and therefore any odour as well as keeping the machine
operating in good order.
