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 presoak product or biological detergent.
●
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.
●

Maintenance and cleaning
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
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.
SM004
SM005
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.
17
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
P1231
cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry
up spillage of water when removing the cover.
P1115
Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Refit the inlet hose.
• 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.
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.
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;
• Refit the the pump and close the door.
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.

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 is fitted with a type of motor which makes a different
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

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 0.5 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.
