Moving and Installing
Removing the Transit Bolts
Four transit bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it’s being moved. They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not supplied) and follow the instructions
detailed below.
Don’t run the washing machine without removing the transit bolts, as this can cause
excessive vibrations.
To remove the transit bolts:
1. Use a spanner to loosen the four bolts. They are located at the rear side of the washing machine.
2. Pull the bolts out horizontally. Make sure the entire bolt is removed.
3. Push the four cover caps (included with your accessories) into the respective bolt holes.
1 2 3
You’ll need the transit bolts again if you move the washing machine, so make sure you keep
them in a safe place.
Moving the Washing Machine from One Location to Another
Before you move the washing machine:
• Shut off the tap and run the washing machine to drain the water. Drain any remaining water from the pump hose.
• Disconnect the mains cable.
• Attach the transit bolts.
Make sure to fix the transit bolts prior to moving the washing machine.

Levelling the Washing Machine
There are 4 levelling feet on the underside. They must be adjusted to make sure the washing machine is level.
1. On each stand, loosen the lock nut by turning it clockwise with a spanner.
2. Adjust all four feet in this way.
3. Use a spirit level to ensure the washing machine is level.
4. Tighten each lock nut by turning them anti-clockwise (towards the washing machine body), again using a spanner.
Ensure all four lock nuts are tightened securely. Check the feet are still bolted to the washing machine - if they’re unbolted, the washing machine will move around.

Water Supply Hose
Points to remember
• Follow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks.
• Don’t connect the hose to a combination tap.
• Don’t twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.
• Optimum water pressure in the main pipe is 0.05 MPa - 1.0 MPa. If the water pressure is set higher
than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Water-flow from the tap should be more than 5 litres per minute. If you’re unsure, ask a qualified technician to connect the hose.
• This unit must only be connected to cold water mains using the new water inlet hose provided.
Connecting the Water Supply Hose
1. Attach the hose to a tap, and tighten the plastic joint by hand.
2. Open the tap slowly and check that there are no leaks around the joint.
The joint is subject to water pressure.

Water Drain Hose
Points to remember:
• Don’t twist, pull out or bend the drain hose.
• Your washing machine should be no more than 85cm from the drain outlet.
Draining to a sink or wash-basin
• Secure the drain hose in position, so it can’t drop out of the basin.
• Don’t block the basin’s drain outlet, and make sure that the drainage through it is sufficient.
• Don’t let the tip of the drain hose dip into the drained water, as this can cause the water to flow
back into the washing machine.

Preparation
I
Read the following to understand how best to prepare your laundry for washing.
Organising Laundry
• Read the washing label on each garment to help you sort your washing into different loads.
• Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric and by how soiled it is.
This will help you choose the correct programme and temperature for each wash.
• Do not exceed the maximum load!
• Be careful not to trap any items of clothing.
Preparing Laundry
• Treat stains before washing.
• Some items should to be put into a cleaning net before going into
the washing machine. i.e. bras with metal wires, tights and lace clothing to prevent damage. Check that pockets do not contain any objects which may damage your clothes and the washing machine.
• Tie up any loose strings on laundry, close zippers and reverse clothing with zips inside out.
• Remove any surplus hair, animal fur, sand, and other materials with a brush before washing.
• If clothes have raised fabric turn them inside out.
• Clothes that are not colour fast should be washed separately.
• Insert your clothes into the washing machine. Close the washing
machine door. Ensure that you do not trap any items of clothing between the loading door and the rubber seal.
Adding Detergent and Softener
• Add detergent into the appropriate dispenser.
• Apply softener before you start washing to prevent static.
• Apply detergent and softener according to the washing
amount, the soiling level, the water hardness in your area and the manufacturer’s instructions of these products.
Dilute viscous fabric softener and fabric conditioner with water. Prevent blockage of the overflow. Maximum level is 40ml.
• Do not use the washing machine when the detergent drawer is removed. It may cause a water leak or it may not work normally.
• If you forget to add detergent, you can drain the washing machine by running a drain only programme. Then you can add detergent and start the programme again. Detergent only reaches the drum when water flushes through the detergent drawer.
• To prevent powder detergent staying in the drawer, dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth. Make sure the powder isn’t lumpy when you add it into the drawer.
• If the rinse cycle isn’t removing all the detergent from your wash, use less detergent.
• Softener should not exceed the MAX level in the compartment.
• Wash out unused softener with a splash of water or a damp cloth after the programme has finished.

Important Information
Washing Delicates (Wool and Silk Programmes)
These programmes rock the drum gently for best results on delicate laundry.
• Silk laundry loads: 2kg or less
• Tips for Wool programme:
Approximate Weights:
- Wool sweater (400g)
- Silk blouse / under garment (200g)
- Trousers (400g)
Adding Delicate Laundry Items to the Drum
• Close zips and buttons.
• Add items one by one on top of each other.
• Don’t overload the drum as it may cause excessive vibrations
or damage the washing machine.
Which Detergent to Use
• For woolen items, use a mild liquid detergent. Other detergents may damage your woolen clothes.
• With Wool or Silk programmes, you may need to use an extra rinse cycle to remove excess detergent
from your clothes. This depends on the amount of detergent you use, and the amount of foam that develops in the main wash cycle.
• To do this, once the programme has finished, select the “Wool” programme using the Programme Dial and press the Start / Pause button to rinse again.
Tips for Hanging Delicate Items to Dry
• Hang white or light colour clothes, and woolen and nylon clothes away from direct heat or sunlight.
• After washing, smooth creases and folds out of woolen and nylon clothes and return them to their normal shape before hanging in the shade.
• Use a hanger for shirts, blouses and trousers. You can wrap a towel around the hanger to fit the shoulder width of your clothes, so they retain their shape as they dry.
• Spread woollen items such as seaters out to dry.
If Clothing Shrinks in the Wash...
• You can spread the item out to its original size on an ironing board, and use dress pins to hold the size and shape. Then use an iron to steam the item and leave it to dry.
15
L612WM11_IB_final110406_running change.indd 15 06/04/2011 6:12 PM
How to Use Laundry Starch
Laundry starch makes your clothes crisp in texture. Synthetic laundry starch is a stiffening agent.
• To use laundry starch, simply add it to the softener compartment, next to where you add detergent. It will automatically be applied to your clothes as part of the final rinsing cycle.
• If it’s hard to pour, you can dilute the starch slightly with water before adding it to the softener compartment. Make sure you don’t fill the compartment over the MAX level.
After using starch, clean the detergent drawer, especially the softener cover. Then remove any
excess starch in the drum, run a “Quick” programme without detergent.
How to Use a Water Softener
If the water in your area is hard, deposits will form in the drum. To reduce the hardness of the water, you will need to add a water softening agent after the detergent to the main wash compartment. If you use other treatments like fabric softener or a stain remover, add them to your wash in the following order:
1. Detergent 2. Water Softener 3. Stain remover

It is recommended that adjustments should be made according to the water hardness level in your area.

Maintenance - Cleaning the Washing Machine
Cleaning the Drum
Any rust left inside the drum by metal articles must be removed immediately with chlorine-free detergent. Never use steel wool.
Don’t put laundry in the washing machine during the drum cleaning.
Cleaning the Exterior of your Washing Machine
• Clean the outside of your washing machine with a soft cloth and mild detergent such as kitchen detergent.

Safety Warnings
For your continued safety and to reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, please follow all the safety precautions listed below.
WARNING!
• If you will not be using the washing machine for a while such as when you go on holiday, turn off the water supply to the washing machine. This is particularly important if there is no drainage around the washing machine. If the water supply is left on, water pressure may build up and cause a leak.
General Use
• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp or exposed to the weather. If you do, it may cause an electric shock, fire, failure or deterioration.
• Do not pour water directly onto any part of the washing machine. It may cause a short circuit or electric shock.
• Keep burning objects such as candles or cigarettes, away from the washing machine. They may cause a fire or damage.
• Keep flammable substances well away from the washing machine – for example kerosene, gasoline, benzene, paint thinner and alcohol, or clothing soaked with these. They may cause an explosion or a fire.
• This washing machine is only suitable for washing textiles labelled washing machine washable.
• Transit bolts are used to transport the washing machine. You should remove these using a spanner or
similar tool before you install the washing machine. If you do not, it will cause strong vibrations when the washing machine is spinning.
• Do not connect the washing machine to hot water. The washing machine works with cold water.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on to check that the hose is properly
connected. If it’s not, there may be a water leak.
• Do not apply pesticide, hair spray or deodorant to the washing machine.
• Do not put any electrical equipment near the washing machine – for example a TV, radio or battery
charger.
• Do not put too much laundry or detergent into the washing machine. It may cause washing machine troubles.
• Be careful not to get your laundry caught in the door when you close it. This could cause a water leak or damage your laundry.
Power Source and Cable
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, fully rated at AC 220V to 240V. If the washing machine is plugged in with other appliances, it may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure the mains plug is pushed firmly in the socket. A loose connection may overheat and cause electrical shock or a fire.
• Check the mains lead and mains plug for any damage. If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unplug the mains lead when cleaning the washing machine.
• Do not touch the mains lead or mains plug with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
• Check the mains plug regularly for dirt. If dirt accumulates on the mains plug, it could cause a fire. To
prevent this, unplug the cable and clean the mains plug with a dry rag.
• If you disconnect the mains plug, hold onto the mains plug not the cable. Pulling the cable may cause an electric shock or a fire.
• Do not use a mains plug adaptor or extension cable. It may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure your home voltage matches the voltage displayed on the washing machine. If you are not
sure, contact an electrician.
