Positioning
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 taps with the drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installa­tion, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plum­bing must be carried out by a competent person, or qua­lified plumber.
Water inlet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit the mesh filters supplied as per diagram.
Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the machine.
Carefully slide out the right polythene bag (1), removing it toward the centre of the machine.
Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag (2), removing it toward the centre of the machine.
Remove the polystyrene base, set the machine upright and unscrew the two remaining rear bolts.

Slide out the 3 plastic spacers and plug the 3 holes with the 3 plastic plugs which you can find at the back of the machine.
P0003
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y» connec­tion piece.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water sup­ply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pres­sure of 7 psi 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.

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
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 machine using the wool programme; other types of wool should be washed by hand or dry cleaned.
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 taps.
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.

WHICH DETERGENT TO USE?....
For most clothes and household textiles, CONVENTIONAL DETERGENTS will give good washing results. Conventional detergents are available in either a biological, such as Ariel, or a non-biological form, such as Fairy, and are particularly suitable for whites. Biological detergents provide improved stain removal, especially at lower temperatures.
For coloured clothes and household textiles, you should use COLOUR DETERGENTS, like Ariel Color, which are designed to maintain the original colour of these items, as well as providing excellent cleaning perform­ance. These are all biological detergents. They are par­ticularly suitable for matching and co-ordinated sets of lingerie, bedding or towels.
AND IN WHICH FORM?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms.
POWDERS OR LIQUIDS
Powders and their liquid equivalent provide similar clean­ing properties, although liquids dissolve faster when hand washing and at lower temperature washes.
BIOLOGICAL OR NON-BIOLOGICAL
All Biological detergents contain enzymes. Different types of enzymes assist with the removal of protein, starch and fat-based stains, such as blood, egg, chocolate and gravy. However, some people prefer non­biological detergents which do not contain enzymes.
LOW SUDS
In a front loading automatic washing machine, you should only use a low suds detergent. The majority of detergents are now low suds products.
For washing wool and silk, COLOUR DETERGENTS ARE NOT SUITABLE. For wool items, you should use a GENTLE/FINE WASH DETERGENT, such as Dreft, which has been tested and approved by the International Wool Secretariat and car­ries the ‘Woolmark’. A similar detergent should also be used for silk.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and house­hold textiles and to make them last longer, you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates. Although this may require buying two or three different products, you do not need to use any more powder, or liquid, than if you were buying just one.
«BIG BOX» OR COMPACT
Compared to their traditional «Big Box»equivalents, compacts (or concentrates as they are also known) have an improved performance and environmental profile, as well as requiring a smaller dosage level.
FABRIC CONDITIONERS
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’. They also re­duce static cling on synthetics and make ironing easier. Fabric Conditioners come in three forms:
Liquids (regular or concentrated) which work in the final rinse.
Sheets for use in the tumble dryer, and Combined Detergent and Fabric Softener
USE OF DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
Choosing the Right Detergent
Always use a low lather powder or liquid. This is impor­tant as too much lather prevents the articles from being properly cleansed and may damage the machine.
Use of Powder Detergent
The washing powder should be placed in the appropriate compartments in the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the programme.
Use of Liquid Detergent
A liquid detergent can be used in the middle compart­ment of the dispenser drawer. Start the machine imme­diately upon placing the liquid in the dispenser drawer.
12
Use of Fabric Conditioners
Any liquid additives for softening or dressing the laundry must be poured into the appropriate compartment of the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the program­me.
The compartment with the symbol is for softeners and dressing agents; never exceed the MAX. Ievel.
When using super concentrated fabric conditioners, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.
Descaling
The water we normally use 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.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
From time to time the washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned.
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.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
Turn off the water taps.
Select a wash programme and run for a few sec­onds.
Unscrew the inlet hoses.
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end in a bowl. Run the draining program­me for a few seconds.
When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
P0996
P0997
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
