Ecological hints

Environment Information

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.

• 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.

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 the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

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”.

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. Keep all packaging away from children

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 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 suitable existing tap with the drain hose discharging into a sink. The appliance has one 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 plumber merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.

4. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag, removing it towards the left and then upwards. Remove the bottom cover found inside the drum of your appliance, lay it’s hook as the arrow ’A’ indicates and push the top of the cover to seal it closed.

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.

U piece

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.

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 0.05 MPa 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.

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

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.

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.

Remove the laundry from the washing machine.

Check whether the drum is completely empty, by rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry.

We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket.

Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

Hints and Tips on Washing

Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance.

The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide:

1000g = 1 kg

Sheet 700-1000 g

Pillow case 100-200 g

Tablecloth 400-500 g

Serviette 50-100 g

Tea towel 70-120 g

Linen hand towel 100-150 g

Towelling hand towel 150-250 g

Towelling bath towel 700-1000 g

Bath robe 1000-1500 g

Man’s shirt 200-300 g

Apron 150-200 g

• Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with small ones.

• Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour-fastness and how dirty it is.

• Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may unravel.

• Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc). as these could damage the drain pump.

• When washing curtains, remove the hooks.

• Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.

• It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time.

• When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together, always select the lowest temperature.

• White items should not be washed with coloured items.

• Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.

• Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic washing machines.

• Use the correct quantities of detergent.

• For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quantities.

• Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care and kept out of reach of children.

• Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products, which can be found in most household shops. In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-soak product or biological detergent.

• Only wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable, preshrunk” can be washed in the the wool programme; other types of wool should be washed in Wool programme.

• If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

• Once you have finished using the machine, you are advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.

*You can reduce the spin speed by means of the relevant button to adapt it to the fabrics to be spun.

The machine may in some cases add or subtract rinses depending on the quantity and type of laundry.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal.

Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.

Maintenance wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

• The drum should be empty of laundry.

• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder (such as Ariel Futur).

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.

P0038

Cleaning the pump

The pump should be inspected if

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the appliance.

• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

• Open the pump door.

P1114

• Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

• Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap.

• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump

P1090

cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the cover.

Tighten up the inlet hose.

P1115

• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat.

P1117

• Screw the pump cover fully in.

• Close the pump door.

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.

Cleaning the water inlet filter

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.

• Turn off the water tap.

• Unscrew the inlet hose.

• Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again.

• When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Important!

Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and then run the drain programme.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• open the pump door;

• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;

• screw the pump cover again and close the door.

Something Not Working?

If the machine is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force agent. IMPORTANT: If the END light flashes, the buzzer sounds and an alarm code is displayed, switch the machine off and call the telephone number given below. IMPORTANT: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.

During machine operation it is possible that the one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:

«No incoming water» : problem with the water supply «No drain» : problem with water draining «Close the door» : door open

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.

Symptom

• The machine does not start up:

• The machine does not fill: • The water tap is closed. «No incoming water»

• The machine fills then empties immediately:

• The machine does not empty and/or does

not spin:

Solution

• The door is not firmly closed. «Close the door»

• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power at the socket.

• The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.

• The programme selector dial is not positioned correctly .

• The “Delay Start” option has been selected.

• The inlet hose is squashed or kinked.

«No incoming water»

• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.

«No incoming water»

• The door is not properly closed. «Close the door»

• The end of the drain hose is too low.

• The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.

• There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.

• The drain hose is squashed or kinked. «No drain»

• The option “No Spin” has been selected.

• The drain pump is clogged. «No drain»

• There is water on the floor:

• Unsatisfactory washing results:

• Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used.

• Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp.

• The drain hose is damaged or not securely positioned

• The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced after cleaning the filter.

• Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and causes lime scale to form.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

• The correct programme/temperature was not selected.

Symptom Solution

• The machine vibrates when spinning

• The door will not open:

• Spinning starts late or the the machine does

not spin

• The internal packing has not been removed.

• The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.

• The machine is not level and stable (check diagonally).

• The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.

• Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

• The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.

• The machine is heating the water.

• The drum is turning.

The door could be opened only when “Door openable “ message appears in the display and the door locked light goes off.

• The electronic balance control device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after few minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.

• The machine makes an unusual noise • The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.

• No water is visible in the drum • Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.
