Your New Washer-Dryer

Your new washer-dryer, which is fitted with the Jet System, meets all modern requirements for
effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated
automatically according to the load and type of fabric.

●

The programme progress display shows the programme steps selected, the programme phase which is
running and the end of the programme.

●

The programme selector dial combines the function of programme and temperature selection, making it
easier to set the programme.

●

Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 90°C programme. This reduces
thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.

●

The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

●

The balance control device ensures that the washer-dryer remains stable when spinning.

●

The two drying programmes will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

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.

●

Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the
machine as small loads are uneconomical.

●

Save energy and reduce drying time by ensuring the
laundry load has been thoroughly spun before
attempting to machine dry.

●

Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.

●

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door lock device
unusable to prevent young children from being
trapped inside.

●

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.

The symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly

distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute
the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed
“Something Not Working” (See pages 31 to 32).

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed
before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the machine is to be transported again.

Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right
bolt.

Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the
hoses are not squashed.

Remove the polystyrene base and take off the bottom
panel by unscrewing the central screw.
Carefully slide out the right polythene bag.

Repeat the operation for the left and central polythene
bags.
Re-fit the bottom panel using the 4 screws supplied
with the door hinges (in the plastic bag) and the
previously removed screw.

Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining
bolts from the back.
Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into
which the bolts were fitted.
Plug the open holes with the plugs supplied with the
instruction booklet.

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.

Your new washer-dryer 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.

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
beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in
one of the corners of the room, where the floor is
more stable.

Building-in

This appliance has been designed to be built into the
kitchen furniture. The recess should have the
dimensions shown in picture A.

When installing the appliance into the kitchen furniture
ensure, if possible, the hoses are placed in either of the
two recesses on the back of the appliance. This will
help to prevent the hoses from becoming kinked or
trapped. Fig. AB.

Preparation and assembly of
the door

The machine is originally pre-arranged for the assembly
of a door opening from right to left.
In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges (1) and
the counter-magnet (6) provided with the appliance, at
the right level (Fig. B).

Recommendations regarding
the construction and fitting of
a base when the installation
requires an integrated
appliance to be raised

Where the appliance has been raised by mounting onto
a wooden base provided by the installer. The material
used to construct the base should have a non slip
surface, be water repellent and if possible be one solid
piece.
If it is not possible to use one solid piece, due to the
additional height required, ensure that any additional
strips of timber are glued and screwed to the underside
of the base (see Fig. F).

c) Mounting the door

Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of the
M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to
compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door.
To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the
screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw
again.

d) Counter-magnet (6)

The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of
the door. To enable a correct operation of this device,
it is necessary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel
disk + rubber ring) into the inner side of the door.
Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the
appliance (See fig. D).

If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert
the position of the plates (7), the magnet (4) and the
plate (5) (Fig. B and E). Mount the countermagnet (6)
and the hinges (1) as previously described.

Water inlet

Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the appliance to
connect to the water supply.
Do not use previously used hoses for water
connection.

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device,
which protects against damage caused by water leaks in
the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of
the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the
window “A”. Should this occur, turn the water tap off
and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose.

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 0.05 MPa (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 distance of 5.02m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom
of the water storage tank.

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.

10

Position the base into the recess with its front edge as
far forward as the adjoining plinth line will allow.

The reason for placing the base in this position
is to allow a small strip of beading to be fitted in
front of the appliance feet.

Fix the base firmly to the floor using four appropriate
countersunk screws (see Fig. H).

With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring
the machine is stable, and a clearance of approximately
5 mm is left between the top of the machine and the
underside of the worktop.

A final check for stability should be carried out with the
machine on spin with a load, this will identify the need
for any further fine adjustment to the feet.

A strip of beading approximately 605 mm W, x 5 mm
H, x 25 mm D must be screwed down into the base
directly in front of the machine’s feet, this will provide
additional security.

If required an additional door magnet, part number
1242394-00/3 and disc, part number 1242393-00/5 are
available from spare parts.

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.

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.

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
18 mm.

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

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

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

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.

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.
