Your New Washer-Dryer

Your new washer-dryer meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with
low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated
automatically according to the load and type of fabric.

●

Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C

before draining, with the 95°C programme. This
reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent
creasing.

●

The special WOOL programme with its new
delicate wash system treats your woollens with
extreme care.

●

The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing
machine remains stable when spinning.

●

The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and
reduces water consumption so saving energy.

●

The two drying programmes will give your wash
that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:

●

Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the
hardness of your water supply, the amount of
laundry and the degree of soiling.

●

Select an “economy” programme for lightly soiled
laundry.

●

A programme without prewash is sufficient for
normally soiled laundry.

●

The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded both for washing and drying cycles.

●

With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.

●

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the
shorter the drying times.

In the interest
of the environment

●

Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

●

Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.

●

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door lock device
unusable to prevent young children from being
trapped inside.

●

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.

The symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it should be taken to the

How do we help to protect the environment?
We use recycled paper!

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, it is because it is not evenly
distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the
wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something
Not Working".

automatically with water left in the tub. The display
will show a flashing zero.
Pour the detergent for the soak programme into the

fabrics or

Wool .

Before starting a new washing phase, it is necessary to
empty out the water by:

• Draining only: turn the programme selector dial to
Drain programme. (Depress the Start/Pause button).

• Draining and spin: turn the programme selector dial
to Spin programme; reduce the spin speed by means

11

Operating Sequence

Washing only

Before the first wash we recommend that you pour 2
litres of water into the main wash compartment of the
detergent drawer in order to activate the ECO valve and
then run a cotton cycle at 95°C, without any laundry in
the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from
the drum and tub.
Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the main wash
compartment of the dispenser drawer and start the
machine.

1. Load the laundry

Open the door by pulling the door handle outwards.
Place the laundry in the drum, one item at a time,
shaking them out as much as possible. Close the door.

2. Measure out the detergent

and the fabric softener

Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops.
Measure out the amount of detergent required and pour
it into the main wash compartment .
If you have selected the Prewash option or the Soak
programme, pour detergent into the compartment
marked .

If required, pour fabric softener into the compartment
marked (the amount used must not exceed the
“MAX” mark in the drawer). Close the drawer gently.

Therefore we recommend that you use approximately
1/3 less than the detergent manufacturer recommends on
the packet or bottle, making the appropriate allowances
for soft or hard water, and light or heavy soilage of
clothes. If you have judged the amount correctly you
should expect to see a soft sudsy liquid during the wash.
It is not necessary to have a head of lather on the water.

3. Switch the machine on

To switch the machine on, press the On/Off button: the
mains-on light comes on. The display will show three
flashing dashes or a blinking zero.

If the programme selector dial is on the Reset Off
position, three flashing dashes will be displayed. If the
programme selector dial is positioned on a wash
programme, a flashing zero appears on the display.

4. Select the required programme

Turn the programme selector dial to the desired
position: the lights corresponding to the different phases
making up the selected programme light on.

The display shows the duration of the programme.

If your laundry needs a
soak time, turn the
programme selector dial to
“Soak 30” and then,
before starting a washing
cycle, empty the water as
described in the “Soak
30° paragraph.

Washing and Drying Hints

Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
first few times you use the appliance.

The average weights of the most common items are
listed below as a guide:

1000g = 1 kg

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

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.

● 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 pre­soak product or biological detergent.

● 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.

● Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too

long before drying.

● Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy

items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.

● If you overdry the laundry, besides wasting energy,

any subsequent ironing may become more difficult
because the fabric could be heavily crumpled.

● Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished

drying.

● To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,

use either a fabric softener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble
dryers.

● Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains,

woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon
stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not
be machine dried.

● Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials

similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried;
they represent a fire hazard.

● Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or

hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not
be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of
harmful vapours.

● For drying, follow the indications given on the

manufacturer’s labels.

May be tumble dried

Drying at high temperature

Drying at reduced temperature

Do not tumble dry

Important: As a dryer, the machine works on the
condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the
drain hose must drain water into a sink or into
the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

15

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they
are also available in different forms. Whether you chose
a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is
your own personal choice.

TRADITIONAL POWDERS

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do
not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS

Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start
the machine immediately upon placing the
detergent in the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the
specially designed dosing device* which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.

COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS

Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also
known) are available in liquid or powder form, and
generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most
economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the
dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent
into the specially designed dosing device* which
should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back
of the machine drum.

* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,

please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed
before carrying out a drying programme.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing
easier. They are available in two types:

For example Lenor liquid fabric
softener, for use in the washing
machine/washer dryer. The
liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment
marked with the symbol .
Follow the
manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the
MAX level.

Bounce conditioning sheets for use
in a tumble dryer. We recommend
the conditioning sheets are pinned
(using a safety pin) to an article
of laundry and placed in the tumble dryer.

Which detergent?....

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your
appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in
your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended
for use in automatic machines.
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.

WHITES

We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.

NON BIOLOGICAL

If you prefer to use a non
biological detergent, which does
not contain enzymes we
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides
good cleaning and stain removal.

COLOURS

For coloured items you should use a detergent which is
designed to clean while maintaining the
original colour.
Ariel Color does not contain bleach
and therefore helps to preserve
colours.

DELICATE ITEMS

When washing delicates such as
woollens, you should use a product
which is specially designed to care for
fine fabrics.
Dreft Automatic is suitable for
woollens and other delicates.

LAUNDRY BLEACH

For additional stain removal you may wish to use a
product such as Ace Gentle Bleach
which is used in addition to your
chosen detergent. Ace is suitable for all
washable fabrics including silks,
woollens and colours.

16

Wash Care Symbols

Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results. The care labelling
code is in line with care labelling used in the rest of Europe. The symbols used make it easy to select the correct
programme on your washing machine.

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 run the rinse programme
without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the filter

The water drain filter

A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of
the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every
washing and drying programme.

Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage. If
the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain
you will need to drain the water manually from the
machine at this stage. To do this, unhook the drain hose
from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose
over a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by
gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the
hose back up and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure
until water stops flowing out.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.

Descaling

The water we use normally 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.

Maintenance Wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to
get a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed
on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

●

The drum should be empty of laundry.

●

Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

●

Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder (such as Ariel Futur).

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
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.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed.

P0010

P0009

P0038

P0037

21

Unscrew and remove the filter.

Clean carefully under a fast running tap.

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the filter.
Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always
wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.

The water inlet filter

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.

Tighten up the inlet hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.

●

Turn off the water tap.

●

Unscrew the inlet hose.

●

Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme.

●

Disconnect the appliance.

●

Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.

●

When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:

●

pull out the plug from the power socket;

●

close the water tap;

●

if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

●

Unscrew and remove the filter;

●

place a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by
gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, empty
the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops
flowing out;

●

clean the filter if necessary as previously described;

●

screw the filter again.

Important!

Every time you drain the water through the emergency
emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the
main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and
then run the drain programme. This will activate the
ECO valve avoiding that part of the detergent remains
unused at next washing.

Something Not Working

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out
an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.

IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or
installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.

During machine operation it is possible that an alarm code appears on the display:

-

EE1100

: problem with the water supply

-

EE2200

: problem with water draining

-

EE4400

: door open

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Pause button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the
problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre.

Symptom

The machine does not start

Possible causes

●

The door has not been closed. (

●

The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.

●

There is no current at the socket

●

The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.

●

The selector dial is not correctly positioned.

●

The

Start/Pause

button has not been depressed.

●

The Delay start option has been selected.

The machine does not fill

●

Ensure the water tap is open. (

EE1100

)

●

The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (

EE1100

)

●

The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked. (

EE1100

)

●

The door has not been closed. (

EE4400

)

The machine fills then empties
immediately

●

The end of the drain hose is too low.

●

The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.

●

There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.

The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin

●

The drain hose may be squashed or kinked. (

EE2200

)

●

The Rinse hold option or the Soak 30 programme has been selected.

●

The drain filter may be blocked. (

EE2200

)

●

The drain hose extension is not correct. Follow the instructions for
connecting to the waste.

●

The drainage system pipes are blocked. (

EE2200

)

●

The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to
allow the machine to spin.

There is water on the floor

●

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too
much foam).

●

Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It
is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to
see if it is damp.

●

The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.

●

The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.

●

The drainage system pipes are blocked.

●

The filter has not fully screwed in.

Unsatisfactory washing results

●

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and
causes lime scale to form.

●

Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing

●

The correct wash programme has not been selected.

●

Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.

23

Symptom

The door will not open

Possible causes

●

The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.

●

The machine is heating the water or drying the clothes.

●

The drum is turning.

Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin

●

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.
If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the
drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load
manually and select the spin programme.

The machine makes an unusual
noise

●

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures
a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum
when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.

No water is visible in the drum

The machine does not dry or does
not dry properly

●

Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water without affecting performance.

●

The drying time has not been selected.

●

The water tap is not turned on.(

EE1100

)

●

The drain filter is clogged. (

EE2200

)

●

The machine is overloaded.

●

The selected drying time or drying sector is not suitable for the laundry.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not
impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine
does not touch the wall or other kitchen units.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under
the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.

Your new washer-dryer 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 a suitable existing tap with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP
thread connector. 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

Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4’’ thread.

Do not use previously employed hoses.

Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be connected to a cold water
supply.

A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) 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.

There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of
the water storage tank.

Set the hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts. After
positioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten the ring
nuts again to prevent leaks.

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's drainage system using one of the
following methods.

1. Into a drainage standpipe.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
the “U” piece” supplied.

Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose
and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of
the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no less
than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of
18mm.

If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do not
require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly into
the standpipe.

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove
any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a
clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain
hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink
entering the washer dryer.

Special conditions

If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to
prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base
should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of
the machine.

Warning

The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile

carpeting.

Note

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.

In the interest of the environment

Washer-dryers and dishwashers should be connected to
the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken
to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged
safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to
the surface water drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause
pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your
local water authority.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18mm.

Important

●

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework
or to pipework that has not been used for some time,
run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.

●

For a correct functioning of the machine the
drain hose must remain hooked on the proper
support piece situated on the top part of the back
side of the appliance.

Levelling

Level the washer-dryer by raising or lowering the feet.
The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self
locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable
(check diagonally).

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation.

Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.

Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.

The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of the
adjacent furniture's base.

b) Hinges

To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes
(dia. 35 mm, depth 12.5-14 mm depending on the depth
of door furniture) on the inner side of the door. The
distance between the holes hobs fixing centres must be
416 mm.
The distance (B) from upper edge of the door to the
centre of the hole depends on the adjacent furniture's
dimensions.
The required dimensions are given in the picture C.
The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws
for wood (2-Fig. B) supplied with the appliance.

c) Mounting the door

Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of the
M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to
compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door.
To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the
screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw
again.

d) Counter-magnet (6)

The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of
the door. To enable a correct operation of this device, it
is necessary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk
+ rubber ring) into the inner side of the door.
Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the

Recommendations regarding the
construction and fitting of a base
when the installation requires an
integrated appliance to be raised

Where the appliance has been raised by mounting onto
a wooden base provided by the installer. The material
used to construct the base should have a non slip
surface, be water repellent and if possible be one solid
piece.
If it is not possible to use one solid piece, due to the
additional height required, ensure that any additional
strips of timber are glued and screwed to the underside
of the base (see Fig. F).

Drill four fixing holes see Fig. G

Position the base into the recess with its front edge as
far forward as the adjoining plinth line will allow.

The reason for placing the base in this position is to
allow a small strip of beading to be fitted in front of
the appliance feet.

Fix the base firmly to the floor using four appropriate
countersunk screws (see Fig. H).

With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring
the machine is stable, and a clearance of approximately
5 mm is left between the top of the machine and the
underside of the worktop.

A final check for stability should be carried out with the
machine on spin with a load, this will identify the need
for any further fine adjustment to the feet.

A strip of beading approximately 605 mm W, x 5 mm
H, x 25 mm D must be screwed down into the base
directly in front of the machine’s feet, this will provide
additional security.

If required an additional door magnet, part number
1242394-00/3 and disc, part number 1242393-00/5 are
available from spare parts.
