Use

●Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply after use.

●Do not overload the appliance. See relevant section in the instruction book.

●Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on the clothes.

●Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and grass before washing. Underwired bras must NOT be machine washed.

●Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

●Garments which have been in contact with volatile petroleum products should not be machine washed. If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken to ensure that the fluid is removed from the garment before placing in the machine.

●Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the inner drum.

●Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener. Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.

●As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine.

Maintenance and Cleaning

●For information on maintenance and cleaning your washing machine see pages 24 - 25 of this instruction manual.

Service

●This product should only be repaired or serviced by an authorised Service Engineer and only genuine approved spare parts should be used.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

●Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

●The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

●With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

●Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

Environmental Information

●After unpacking please dispose of packaging with due regard to safety and the environment.

●Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

●Check with your local Council to see if there are facilities in your area for recycling this appliance.

WARNING:

A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it should be taken to the appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

HEC0010	HEC0005

Connect the water inlet hose as described under the paragraph “Water inlet”.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.

Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units.

Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.

Warning

The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile carpeting.

Installation on a Suspended Floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor boards with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Note

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

Plumbing In

Your new washing machine has been designed to be permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it may be connected to a suitable existing tap with the drain hose discharging into a sink.

The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP thread connector. If this connection is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.

Water inlet

An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the machine drum.

Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.

1.Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose .

2.Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine.

A

HEC0024

3. Remove the security gasket cup by turning and pulling it away. Pay attention not to move or remove the gasket.

HEC0006QL

Important!

Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap.

4.Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

5.Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.

P1088

Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

A minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is required for safe operation of the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system.

There should be a minimum vertical distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system using one of the following methods.

1. Into a drainage standpipe.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the “U” piece” supplied.

“U” piece supplied

P1199

Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.

3 pin

Min.
HEC0012

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Force Centre.

The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18mm.

If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly into the standpipe.

P1212

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

P1197

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.

Loop

P1198

Important

Before connecting the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Levelling

Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable.

If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.

HEC007S

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, (see note on positioning), noise and displacement of the machine during operation.
