65 - 100 cm  
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp  
fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp  
socket for immediate use. Before using the  
appliance please read the instructions below.  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
EARTHED.  
The drain hose may  
be connected to  
an under-sink trap.  
Before connecting  
the drain hose from  
the machine ensure  
that any blanks or  
removable ends have  
been taken off the  
spigot.  
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD  
BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRI-  
CIAN.  
Replacing the fuse:  
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA  
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be  
used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse  
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a  
replacement is obtained.  
Where it connects to  
the waste water pipe  
cut end off spigot or  
remove the blanking cap  
Replacement fuse covers:  
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be  
of the correct colour as indicated by the colou-  
red marking or the colour that is embossed in  
words on the base of the plug. Replacements  
can be obtained directly from your nearest  
Service Depot.  
If it is placed over  
the edge of a basin  
or sink be sure the  
free end of the hose  
should not be under-  
water.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moul-  
ded plug and you should wish to re-route the  
mains cable through partitions, units etc.,  
please ensure that either:  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere  
rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of ap-  
proval.  
! We advise against the use of hose extensions;  
in case of absolute need, the extension must  
have the same diameter as the original hose  
and must not exceed 150 cm in length.  
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into  
a standpipe, that the end does not go down  
more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pu-  
shed down too far, this may cause the machine  
to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is  
filling.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13  
amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in  
compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible  
without moving the appliance.  
Disposing of the plug:  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,  
you make the pins unusable so that it cannot  
be accidentally inserted into a socket.

Care and maintenance  
Cutting off the water and electri-  
city supplies  
Caring for the door and drum of  
GB  
your appliance  
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.  
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-  
side the washing machine and help to prevent  
leaks.  
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order  
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.  
Cleaning the pump  
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning  
it and during all maintenance work.  
The washing machine is fitted with a self-clea-  
ning pump which does not require any mainte-  
nance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins  
or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which  
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.  
Cleaning the washing machine  
• The outer parts and rubber components  
of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft  
cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not  
use solvents or abrasives.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and  
unplug the appliance.  
• The washing machine has a “Auto Clean”  
programme for its internal parts that must be  
run with no load in the drum.  
To access the pre-chamber:  
1. using a screwdri-  
ver, remove the cover  
panel on the lower  
front part of the wa-  
shing machine (see  
figure);  
To help the wash cycle

should be repeated  
frequently.  
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks  
are securely in place before you push it onto  
the appliance.  
Checking the water inlet hose  
2
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If  
there are any cracks, it should be replaced  
immediately: during the wash cycles, water  
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose  
could easily split open.  
! Never use second-hand hoses.

Disposal  
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely  
in place before you push it onto the appliance.  
Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regu-  
lations so that the packaging may be re-used.  
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical  
and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household  
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal  
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be  
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and  
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the im-  
pact on human health and the environment. The crossed  
out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of  
your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it  
must be separately collected. Consumers should contact  
their local authority or retailer for information concerning the  
correct disposal of their old appliance.

button ; the text POWER ON will appear on the  
display and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash  
slowly in a green colour.  
Set the rinse type.  
GB  
Option “Anti Allergy Rinse” makes it possible to select  
the desired rinse type for sensitive skin. Press the  
button once for the “Extra Rinse” level, which makes it  
possible to select an additional rinse after the standard  
cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent. Press  
the button again for the “Sensitive Skin” level, which  
makes it possible to select two additional rinses to  
the standard cycle rinses; it is recommended for very  
sensitive skin. When the button is pressed for the third  
time, the “Anti allergy Rinse” level is set, thus allowing  
the selection of 3 rinses in addition to the standard  
cycle’s rinses. The option - started with cycles at a  
temperature of 40°C - makes it possible to remove  
major allergens such as pollen, cat and dog hair. With  
cycles at a temperature higher than 40° a very good  
level of antiallergic protection is achieved. Press the  
button again to go back to the “Normal Rinse” rinse  
type. If the current adjustment can be neither set nor  
changed, the display will show “Not allowed”.  
2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door.

Set the desired wash intensity.  
Option “Cleaning Action” makes it possible to optimise  
washing based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on  
desired wash cycle intensity.  
Select the wash programme: the cycle will be  
automatically set to “Normal” as optimised for garments  
with an average level of soil (this setting is not applicable to  
the “Wool” cycle, which is automatically set to “Delicate”).  
For heavily-soiled garments press button “Cleaning  
Action” until the “Super Wash” level is reached. This  
level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger  
quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle  
and due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when  
removing the most stubborn stains.  
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment  
of the fabrics, press button “Cleaning Action” until the  
Delicate” level is reached. The cycle will reduce the  
drum rotation to ensure washing results are perfect for  
delicate garments.

! The steam generated during washing machine operation  
may cause the porthole door to become hazy.  
! If the selected function is not compatible with another  
function which has been selected previously, the indi-  
cator light corresponding to the first function selected  
will flash and only the second function will be activated;  
the indicator light corresponding to the enabled function  
will remain lit.  
Eco Wash  
The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the  
water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to  
the environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified  
wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash  
results in the same average time of a standard cycle.  
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of  
a liquid detergent.  
Time Saver  
If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be  
reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle,  
thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy  
saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.

Detergents and laundry  
Anti Stain Quick: this programme is ideal for washing  
Detergent dispenser drawer  
GB  
the most difficult daily stains in 1 hour. It is ideal for mixed  
fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your clothes as  
it washes.  
Cotton Standard 20°C: this programme is ideal for lightly  
soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels  
achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to  
washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action  
which operates at varying speed, with repeated and  
frequent peaks.  
Steam Refresh: this programme refreshes garments by  
removing bad odours and relaxing the fibres (1,5 kg, rou-  
ghly 3 items). Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and  
select programme 6. The garments will be damp once the  
cycle is completed, so we recommend hanging them to  
dry. The 6 programme makes ironing easier.  
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of  
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily  
result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause a  
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to  
environmental pollution.  
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for  
pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.  
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.  
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these  
create too much foam.  
Open the detergent di-

in the detergent or washing  
additive, as follows.  
! Not recommended for wool or silk garments.  
! Do not add softeners or detergents.

! The indicator light for the “Steam Hygiene” option will  
switch on when this cycle is selected.  
Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been  
approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of  
wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the  
products are washed according to the instructions on the  
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this  
washing machine. (M1127)  
! Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*).  
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.  
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle  
(powder or liquid)  
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the  
removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper  
dosage.  
If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.  
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)  
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.  
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark  
is a Certification trade mark.  
Delicates: use programme 8 to wash very delicate  
garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and  
sequins.  
Preparing the laundry  
• Divide the laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label  
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.  
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.  
• Do not exceed the values listed in the Table of wash cycles”,  
which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.  
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 8 and  
set the “Delicate” level from option “Cleaning Action”.  
We recommend turning the garments inside out before  
washing and placing small items into the special bag  
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate  
garments for best results.  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
Load balancing system  
1 sheet 400-500 g  
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and  
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates  
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the  
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load  
is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced  
SPIN . If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing  
machine performs the distribution process instead of spin-  
ning. To encourage improved load distribution and bal-  
ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed  
in the load.  
1 pillow case 150-200 g  
1 tablecloth 400-500 g  
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
Special wash cycles  
Anti Stain: this programme is suitable to heavily-soiled  
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing  
class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When  
running the programme, do not mix garments of different  
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent.  
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if  
there are obstinate stains.

Troubleshooting  
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure  
that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.  
GB  
Problem:  
Possible causes / Solutions:  
The machine does not switch on.  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.  
• There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.  
The wash cycle does not start.  
• The door is not closed properly.  
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• A delayed start has been set (see “Running a wash cycle”).  
The machine does not fill with wa-

appears on the display.  
• The water pressure is too low.  
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• There is no water supply to the house.  
• The inlet valve filter is blocked.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
The machine continuously fills with • The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65

and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).  
• The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run  
into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of  
the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.  
• The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the  
‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.  
The machine does not drain or spin • The Pump filter is blocked.  
or F05 error code in the display.  
• The drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).  
• New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if con-  
nected under a sink.  
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.  
• The wash cycle does not include draining, some wash cycles require the drain  
phase to be started manually.  
• The ‘Spin’ is in the “OFF” position.  
The machine does not heat or poor • The ‘Temperature’ is in the “OFF” position.  
wash results.  
The programme takes too long  
or The Display changes the estima-  
ted ‘Time to End’ during the pro-  
gramme.  
• Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water tempera-  
ture and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme  
times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’ below).  
The machine vibrates a lot during  
the spin cycle.  
• The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.  
• New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the  
Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.  
• The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.  
• The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at  
a lower speed.  
13  
 
The machine is noisy.  
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.  
GB  
The machine wont spin properly.  
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this  
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load  
required before the machine will go into higher SPIN s - This will increase the  
programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage. Out  
of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt, etc).  
- Try the programme again using a different load.  
The machine leaks from the di-  
spenser.  
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.  
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap  
on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.  
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.  
The machine leaks (other than  
dispenser).  
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.  
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill  
hose is missing the rubber washer.  
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.  
The indicator lights on the console  
are flashing rapidly.  
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then  
switch it back on again If the problem persists contact the Technical Assistance  
Service.  
The machine smells.  
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a “Auto Clean” wash cycle with  
detergent and no laundry  
The machine door cannot be  
opened.  
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after  
the program has finished.  
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.  
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.  
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.  
The water level is too low when  
the machine is washing.  
There is too much foam.  
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text  
‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).  
Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.  
After completing the programme,  
or before starting a programme,  
the machine has turned itself off  
(no lights).  
To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an  
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate  
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.  
General.  
Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash  
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/pro-  
gress).  
Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to  
be anything wrong!  
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as indica-  
ted on pages 2 to 4.  
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.  
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine  
washable.
