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.

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 DETERGENTSARE NOT SUITABLE.
For wool items, you should use a GENTLE/FINE WASHDETERGENT, 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.
