SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 Please read the installation and connection instructions before attempting to install this appliance.
2 Ensure you have followed the ‘Unpacking Instructions’ section carefully.
3 You should run an initial wash cycle without laundry to remove residues of factory-applied grease from
the drum and tub. We suggest a rinse and spin programme with a small amount of detergent.
4It is important that when you have selected a rinse and spin programme, you attend the machine through-
out the cycle, which will also ensure that all installation connections have been correctly made.
5It is also recommended after seven days use, that the connections to the outlet hoses are checked at
the taps and the appliance.
6You may fi nd some water deposits in the tub; this is the residue from the thorough testing, which your
appliance was subjected to in the factory.
7Before using your appliance for the fi rst time, please make sure that the mains voltage and supply in-
dicated on the rating plate (situated inside the fi lter door on the front bottom right hand corner of the
appliance) agree with the mains voltage where the machine is to be used.
8Before cleaning or care and maintenance work, make sure that the appliance is switched off. For safety
reasons we strongly advise that you pull the mains plug out of the socket, switch off at the power point
or completely remove the fuse box servicing the circuit (see Electrical Information).
9 Never direct water onto the outer casing of the appliance.
10 Never use the supply lead to pull the mains plug out of the socket. Pull the plug.
11 Never operate the machine if the appliance shows visible signs of damage to the control panel, worktop
or bottom plinth.
12 We advise that for your safety and the continued trouble free operation of your appliance, all repairs and
maintenance should be carried out by an approved Servis UK engineer using only genuine parts.
13 Children may not realise the dangers of improper use of electrical appliances. Therefore, please ensure
that children are kept away at all times.
14 During certain programmes, the glass on the porthole door could become very hot, please ensure there-
fore that children are kept away at all times.
15 When it is fi nally time to replace your washing machine, please make sure that you de-activate the door
lock and cut the electrical supply lead, (after disconnecting) and dispose of the lead and plug safely.
16 If you operate this appliance incorrectly or use it for any purpose other than that for which it is intended,
we cannot accept liability for any possible damage caused.
17 When cleaning the stainless steel drum, never use any iron-containing scouring agents or steel wool.
18 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent.
19 The appliance must be positioned so that its plug is easily accessible. It is also important that your ap-
pliance has adequate ventilation and that air fl ow underneath the appliance is not impeded.
WARNING! Socket outlets are not permitted in bathrooms, neither should any provision be made for connecting moveable electrical appliances. No stationary appliance is to be installed within reach of a person
using a bath or shower.
Cold fi ll only machines improve the performance of biological detergents as well as increasing stain
removal capabilities: all contributing to an “A” wash performance. Apart from having lower water consumption and energy costs, it also offers the convenience of a one pipe installation connection.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage indicated on
the machine rating plate, which can be found inside the fi lter door - front bottom right hand corner.
Warning – This appliance must be earthed.
The mains lead of the appliance is fi tted with a BS 1363A 13 amp fused plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug, proceed as follows:
1 Remove the fuse cover (A) and the fuse (Fig 3).
Fig 3
2 Fit a replacement fuse which should be BS 1362 13 amp.
Important:
1 The fuse cover must be replaced after changing a fuse.
2 In the event of a fuse cover being misplaced, the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is fi tted.
3 Please ensure that the replacement fuse cover is of the same colour as the insert or has the colour em-
bossed in words on the base of the plug.
4For replacement fuse covers please consult your local electrical store.
Please state the colour of your plug insert.
If the fi tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and disposed of immediately to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 amp fuse elsewhere. A suitable alternative plug
should then be fi tted to a cable.
Warning – This appliance must be earthed.
Important: The wires of the mains lead fi tted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
1GREEN AND YELLOW – EARTH
Fig 4
2 BLUE – NEUTRAL
3 BROWN – LIVE
As the colour of the wires in the mains lead fi tted to this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in the plug 9 (Fig 4), proceed as follows:
1The GREEN & YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the ‘E’
or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
2 The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal, which is marked with the ‘N’ or coloured black.
3 The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug, which is marked with the ‘L’ or coloured red.
4 If the terminals in the plug are unmarked or if you are in any doubt as to the correct connections, consult
a qualifi ed electrician.

W A S H I N G M A C H I N E
For the Republic of Ireland only
The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and socket is
also used, the 2-pin, side earthed type. In this case, the wire, which is coloured green and yellow must be
connected to the earth contact and the other two wires to the two pins, irrespective of colour. The supply to
the socket must be fi tted with a 16 amp fuse.
Warning
Do not plug a tumble dryer and washing machine into an adaptor for connection to a single socket outlet.
Plug the dryer and washing machine into separate socket outlets.
On completion of the installation, the appliance must be connected to the mains supply through a two-pole
switch.
Special Electronic System
Your appliance is fi tted with a special electronic system that allows your appliance to spin at very high speed if
the load is distributed correctly. Prior to spin, the electronic system allows the drum to rotate in both clockwise
and anti-clockwise directions to distribute the wash load evenly. If this doesn’t happen, sometimes large towels
and sheets tangle into a ball, the electronic system will recognise the imbalance in the drum and reduce the
spin cycle. This will result in the wash items being more damp than usual.
Where the imbalance is signifi cant and could be detrimental to the appliance the system will automatically
halt the spin cycle. The wash items will therefore be wet.
If this happens, wait until the door safety inter-lock has released the door catch, remove the clothes, spread
them out inside the drum and then reset the appliance to the spin programme.
Note: If your appliance stops and your wash items are wet or more damp than usual, this is not a fault.
The electronic system is there to protect your appliance against excessive movement and vibration.

LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE
Having completed the electrical connections, move your appliance to its operating position. To minimise
vibration and noise during spinning your appliance must be level and in fi rm contact with a well supported
or preferably solid fl oor. Failure to level the appliance could lead to instability and consequent damage to
adjacent equipment.
Suspended, wooden fl oors or plinths might be needed to distribute the weight evenly.
Fig 5
Fig 6
1One or both of the front feet should be adjusted in order to level the ap-
pliance. The back feet also need to be secured by adjusting the nuts.
(Fig 5).
2Screw the foot up or down until the appliance is level in both front to rear
and side to side directions. Turn feet clockwise to lower the appliance
(Fig 6).
3Lock the feet by screwing up the nuts using a 16mm spanner so that
they are in fi rm contact with the underside of the machine (Fig 7).
