INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
To avoid risk of injury, please take care when moving your Washing Machine. It is heavy and we
recommend that a minimum of two people move your Washing Machine.
To unpack your Washing Machine and manoeuvre it to the installation area, one person should
hold it by the front feet and the other person at the edge of the lid at the rear.
Your Washing Machine measures 84.5 x 59.7 x 52.7cm and will require an installation area with
the space to allow the door to fully open and provide easy access to the plumbing and electrical
connections.
The most suitable installation surface for your Washing Machine is a concrete floor as it is less
prone to vibration during the spin cycle. Soft floor surfaces such as carpets and rugs are not
suitable.
If you have to install your Washing Machine on a wooden floor we recommend that a water
resistant wooden base at least 30mm thick is installed. The base should span several joists and
be bolted down. Check for the presence of pipes and cables before installing.
If possible install your Washing Machine in the corner of the room as it is often the most stable
part of the floor.
Do not install your Washing Machine in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur as
frozen hoses may burst or split.
REMOVAL OF TRANSIT BOLTS
The transit bolts are used to protect your Washing Machine from damage during transportation
and must be removed before using your Washing Machine for the first time. Keep the transit
bolts safe and re-fit them if you need to transport your Washing Machine in the future.
The four transit bolts are located on the back of your Washing Machine (fig 5a).
To remove the transit bolts (4 of f):
1
Remove each bolt by turning anti-clockwise with a suitable spanner (fig 5b).
2
Pull out the remaining plastic section of each transit bolt by hand. This will require a
reasonable amount of force.
3
Inser t the blanking caps (4 off): Push the cap into the hole until the four connectors click into
place. Check that the cap is flush with the machine.
To re-fit the transit bolts (4 off) for future transportation:
1
Pull and remove the four plastic blanking caps.
2
Inser t the plastic sections of the transit bolts into the exposed holes.
3
Inser t the bolts into the plastic sections of the transit bolts and tighten with a suitable
spanner until secure.

INSTALLATION
ADJUSTING THE FEET
For safe operation, it is important that your Washing Machine is level and securely positioned on
all four feet. Incorrect installation may cause the Washing Machine to vibrate, and increase your
water and electricity consumption.
The four adjustable feet are used to level the Washing Machine. To adjust the feet:
1
Loosen the plastic locking nut by turning anti-clockwise (fig 6a).
2
To increase the height of the machine, turn the feet clockwise (fig 6b).
3
To decrease the height of the machine, turn the feet anti-clockwise (fig 6b).
4
Af ter making adjustments, use a spirit level to check that the machine is level.
5
Once the machine is level, tighten the locking nuts by turning clockwise (fig 6c).
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
Your Washing Machine uses an energy ef ficient cold fill system, which means that only the
water required to wash the laundry is heated. As a result no heat is lost in the pipeline from the
hot water supply.
Connect your Washing Machine to your cold water supply only. If your previous machine had a
hot and cold fill, check that the hot tap on your water supply is closed to avoid leakage. Only use
the fill hose supplied and not one from your old Washing Machine. Only one hose is required
to install your Washing Machine to the cold water supply. The inlet hose provided with your
Washing Machine connects the rear of your machine and the cold water supply.
To connect your Washing Machine to the cold water supply:
1
Connect the angled end of the fill hose to the cold water inlet on the rear of your Washing
Machine by screwing the threaded connector clockwise (fig 7). Take care not to overtighten
the connection. Hand tight is sufficient.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
2
Screw the straight end of the hose clockwise to a 19mm (3/4’’) cold water tap until hand
tight (fig 8). Take care not to trap or kink the hose.
DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION
Do not connect your Washing Machine to a surface water drain.
Connect your Washing Machine to your household drainage system (fig 9).
For your Washing Machine to function properly the outlet end of the drain hose must be at a
minimum of 60cm and a maximum of 100cm from the ground.
CAUTION: Check to ensure that the hose is not trapped, kinked, twisted, folded or crushed.
Do not attempt to extend the drain hose by adding extra sections.

INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your Washing Machine requires a 220-240V, 50Hz mains supply. Do not use any other
supply.
Your Washing Machine may be fitted with a moulded plug which cannot be rewired.
If the fuse cover becomes damaged, you must not use the plug.
If your plug requires changing because it is not suitable for your socket, or it is damaged,
you should consult a qualified electrician.
Fuse:
Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS1362 and have the correct 10 Amp
rating.
Replacement fuses can be purchased from an electrical supplier.
The Cold water pressure for a normal household system ranges from between 0.1 to 1 Mpa. Your
Washing Machine will run at optimum efficiency in this range.
Once you have made all of the connections, carefully turn your cold water supply on and check
for leaks.

USAGE
Close zips and fasten any hooks and eyes.
Items such as trousers, T-shirts, sweat shirts and knitted garments should be turned inside
out.
Remove any weights from curtains, or place in a laundry bag.
Any loose wiring in bras and shirt collar stiffeners should be removed or sewn in.
Sorting Your Laundry:
Sort your laundry by colour. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.
Dark textiles may contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed load.
Follow the instructions given in the care labels on the clothing.
Do not wash any items in the machine that the manufacturer has specified as non-
washable on the care label.
Badly soiled or stained areas can be pre-treated with liquid detergent or stain removers by
following the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you use a solvent based cleaning agent to pre-treat a stain, protect any plastic parts such
as buttons. Rinse the cleaning agent off before loading the washing into the machine.
Do not use a solvent based cleaning agent in your Washing Machine.
Loading the Drum:
1
Pull the door open using the handle.
2
Load your items of clothing into the drum, ensuring they are loosely packed. You will
achieve better wash results if you mix up large and small items. Items of varying size will
help distribute the load more evenly during spinning.
3
Take care not to exceed the maximum load of the drum as this will give poor wash
results and cause creasing. Refer to the table on pages 25 and 26 for information on load
capacities.
4
Gently push the door until it clicks shut. Check that no items of clothing are trapped
between the rubber seal and the door.
Adding Detergent:
Please take care to add the correct amount of detergent to your Washing Machine.
If too little detergent is added:
Your laundry may not get washed properly and may become grey and stiff over time.
Spots of fat may appear on your laundr y.
Limescale may form on the heater elements.
If too much detergent is added:
Excessive foam will be formed resulting in poor wash results.
Water consumption will increase.
You can use any detergent produced for automatic washing machines. The use of dispensing
aids such as balls is recommended, if they are supplied with the detergent.
Tablets are suitable for full loads; however it may be impractical to reduce them for smaller
loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as quickly as others and may not be suitable for wash cycles
of short duration.
It is possible to use fluid detergents in all programs without a pre-wash. To do this, slide the fluid
detergent level plate into the guides in compartment II of the detergent drawer (fig 11). Use the
lines on the plate as a guide to fill the drawer to the required level.
The amount of detergent to use will depend on the dirtiness of your clothes and the hardness of
your water supply, guidelines will be on the packaging of your detergent.
Page 13

T: 0800 0124 382 T: 0800 0124 382
USAGE
If your clothes are only slightly soiled, do not prewash and put a small amount of detergent,
as specified by the manufacturer into compartment II of the detergent drawer.
If your clothes are excessively soiled, select a program with pre-wash and put ¼ of
the detergent to be used into compartment I of the detergent drawer and the rest in
compartment II.
Water Softener:
A water softener can be used to reduce the amount of detergent required in hard water areas.
Follow the guidance on the packaging and dispense as instructed. First add the detergent, then
the water softener.
Fabric Conditioners and Liquid Starch:
Fabric conditioners make garments soft to handle.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items such as bed linen.
To add fabric conditioner or liquid starch, pour the amount as instructed on the packaging into
the
compartment of the detergent drawer, taking care not to exceed the MAX level.

You will be pleased to learn that your Ser vis Washing Machine has an in-built sensor that
prevents your Washing Machine operating with an out of balance load, it will make several
attempts to balance the load prior to the spin cycle. If it is not possible for your Washing
Machine to balance the load, your Washing Machine will abort the spin cycle. To reduce the
likelihood of this happening we recommend that you avoid small wash loads containing items
that could become heavy through water absorption.

Use a suitable stainless steel cleaning agent to clean the drum. Follow the manufacturer’s
advice on the cleaning agent’s packaging.
Extra Cleaning:
Deposits may build up in your machine when washing is mainly carried out at low
temperatures. To prevent these deposits from building up carry out a hot wash (70oC
or above) once ever y 6 weeks. If you have no reason to wash occasionally at this high
temperature, run a high temperature cottons program with detergent but no laundry at
regular intervals.
Filters:
Water Inlet Filters:
Water inlet filters prevent dirt and foreign materials from entering your machine. It is
recommended that these filters are cleaned when your machine is unable to receive sufficient
water, although your water supply is on and the tap is open.
To clean the water inlet filters:
1
Unscrew the water inlet hose from the Washing Machine by turning the hose anti-
clockwise and gently pulling.
2
To remove the water inlet filter from the water inlet valve, use a pair of long nosed pliers to
gently pull on the plastic bar in the filter (fig 12).

Pump Filter:
The pump filter system in your Washing Machine prolongs the life of the pump by preventing lint
from entering your machine. We recommend that you clean the pump filter every 2-3 months.
The pump filter is located behind the cover on the front lower right corner.
CAUTION:
The water in the pump may be hot, wait for it cool before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance.
Cleaning the Pump Filter:
1
Before opening the filter cover, place a container under the filter cover to collect any water
left in the machine. Pull the top of the cover forwards using the finger groove, until the
pump filter is fully exposed (fig 13a).
2
Loosen the filter by turning anti-clockwise and remove by pulling (fig 13b). Wait for the
water to drain.
