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.

●

Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

●

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.

Unpacking

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

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that the
they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be
transported again.

1. Using the supplied spanner unscrew and remove the
two rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic
pins. Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure
that the hoses are not squashed.

2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of
the machine and release the two plastic bags.

3. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag,
removing it towards the right and then downwards.
Repeat the operation for the right polythene bag,
removing it towards the left and then upwards.

4. Remove the polystyrene base.

5. Set the machine upright and unscrew the remaining
rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

6. Fill all the holes with the plastic plugs supplied with
the instruction booklet.

Important !
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-

use in case the machine is to be transported
again. In case of moving out the same
precautions as per paragraph “The dangers of
freezing” must be taken i.e. the residual water
in the hoses must be pumped out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 (check diagonally).

P1212

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.

Special conditions

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.

Note

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

In the interest of the environment

Washing machines and dishwashers should be
connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will
then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before
being discharged safely into a river.

It is essential that these appliances are not connected
to the surface water drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or stream and may
cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your
local water authority.
