INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Positioning
Before starting the machine up, the packing must be
removed as follows.
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.
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the machine is to be transported again.
Using a spanner unscrew
and remove the rear right
bolt. Lay the machine
gently on its back, making
sure that the hoses are
not squashed.
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 installa-
tion, a variety of connectors are available from good
hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most
domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plum-
bing must be carried out by a competent person, or qua-
lified plumber.
P0255
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.

P0234
P0233
Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the
machine.
P0003
Carefully slide out the right polythene bag (1), removing
it toward the centre of the machine.
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two
hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y» connec-
tion piece.
Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag (2),
removing it toward the centre of the machine.
Installation should comply with local water authority and
building regulations’ requirements.
Remove the polystyrene
base, set the machine
upright and unscrew the
two remaining rear bolts.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water sup-
ply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet
water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pres-
sure of 7 psi is required for safe operation of the appli-
ance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from
the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appli-
ance from your cold water storage system.
P0256
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (161/2 ft)
between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply
from the hot water cylinder if the height between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the cold water stor-
age cistern (not between the appliance and hot water
cylinder) is at least 2.74m (9ft).
Set the hoses correctly by
loosening the ring nuts.
After positioning the inlet
hoses, be sure to tighten
the ring nuts again to pre-
vent leaks.

Warning
Water drainage
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile car-
peting.
If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty
into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and that the
plug hole is not blocked.
Note
If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end
of the hose into a standpipe installed for the purpose.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a break-
down.
The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least
1
2
40 mm (1 / ") in order that there is an air gap between
the drain hose and the standpipe. Make sure, that it is
designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose
cannot be covered with water.
All plumbing and electrical work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by competent persons or
qualified plumbers or electricians.
In the interest of the environment

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.
Whether discharging into a sink or a standpipe check
that the end of the drain hose is neither too high nor too
low. The top of the curve in the hose’s end should be no
more than 90 cm (35.4”), and no less than 60cm (23.6”)

5 Quick wash button
By depressing this button on programmes A, B, C and F
the wash time will be reduced by approx. 20 mins.
This is suitable only for garments which are lightly soiled.
2 Spin speed selector dial
Push to release the button.
6 Super Economy button
By depressing this button prior to selecting wash pro-
gramme A you will obtain a reduction of the wash tem-
perature from 95°C to 60°C.
The spin speed can be varied as follows:
Cotton and linen - 1200 (max) to 650 (min) rpm
Synthetics, delicates and wool - 650 (max) to
450 (min) rpm.
The duration of the programme will not alter. This will
ensure a substantial saving in electricity consumption.
It is advisable to use Super Economy when washing
normally soiled fabrics.
NOTE: The spin speeds marked on the dial refer to spin
speeds for cotton and linen programmes. To select 650
rpm spin on synthetic, delicate and wool cycles, the spin
speed selector dial should be positioned to the 1200
(max) setting, to select 450 rpm the dial should be posi-
tioned to the 650 (min) setting.
7 On/Off button
By depressing this button the machine starts operating.
When depressing it again, the machine stops. The push
button is provided with a child-proof safety lock. Move
the small slider placed in the middle of the button down-
wards to lock the button in the «off» position.
3 Heavy soil button
By pressing the heavy soil button, the machine will take
in cold water only on programmes with a water tempera-
ture of 50°-60°-95°C (programmes A-B-F).
These would normally be hot and cold.
8 Mains-on light
This light illuminates when the machine starts working
and goes out when the ON/OFF button is released.
The water is then gradually heated to the required tem-
perature. The effect is to improve the overall wash
performance, particularly on biological stains such as
egg, blood and grass stains, and heavily soiled fabrics,
since the longer «cool-soak» phase as the water heats
up provides the right conditions for the powder and the
water temperature to interact, and achieve the best pos-
sible results.
9 Programme selector dial
With the programme selector dial you choose the de-
sired washing programme. Press this dial to pop it out
and then turn it clockwise.
Before setting the dial to any position the machine must
be switched off by depressing the ON/OFF button.
4 Rinse hold button
Press this button to make the machine stop with water in
the drum after the synthetic or delicate wash cycles.

■
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.
Washing 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:

«JETSYSTEM» wash
This appliance is equipped with a wash system called
«JETSYSTEM».
The laundry is always kept damp with water and deter-
gent, using a very efficient pump. In this way water con-
sumption is greatly reduced.
Further savings can be made by washing small loads of
laundry, since the water and electricity consumption is
proportional to the quantity of laundry being washed.
Man’s shirt
Apron
■
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
As the Jetsystem is flexible and adjusts water intake
according to wash load size it is not possible to give you
exact recommandations as to the amount of detergent
that should be used for any one wash.
■
■
■
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
Therefore we recommend that you use approximately
1/3 less than the detergent manufacturer recommends
on the packet or bottle, making the appropriate allow-
ances 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.
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 tem-
peratures together, always select the lowest tempera-
ture.
■
■
■
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 quanti-
ties.
■
Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.

IMPORTANT NOTES
For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for
dispensing detergents and liquid additives.
When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme,
place the detergent into the correct compartment in the
dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.
Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it
in gently. This is particularly important if you are using
fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the
machine prematurely.

USE OF DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
And in which form?
Which detergent?
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 com-
pact form is to own personal choice.
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from
your appliance, it is important to use the right deter-
gent 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 dif-
ferent washes, whether for whites, colours or deli-
cates.
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 compart-
ment of the detergent drawer marked with the sym-
Whites
We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.
bol
, start the machine immediately upon plac-
ing 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.
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.
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 eco-
nomical 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 laun-
dry, and at the back of the machine drum.
Coloureds
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.
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,
please ensure the dosing device/ball is
removed before carrying out a drying pro-
gramme.
Delicate Items
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:
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 wool-
lens and other delicates.
For example Lenor liquid fabric
softener, for use in the washing
machine/washer dryer. The
liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment
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 fab-
rics including silks, woollens and
coloureds.
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.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
■
Turn off the water taps.
Descaling
■
Select a wash programme and run for a few sec-
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.
onds.
■
Unscrew the inlet hoses.
■
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end in a bowl. Run the draining program-
me for a few seconds.
■
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
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 pre-
serve 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.

Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small brush
to clean the recess, en-
suring that all washing
powder residue is re-
moved from the upper and
lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and
run the rinse programme
for a few minutes without
any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the filter
The water inlet filters
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime de-
posit, the water inlet filters may become clogged.
The water drain filter
It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time to
time.
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the
machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every
wash.
Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the water inlet hoses.
Remove and clean the fil-
ters using a hard bristle
brush. Replace the filters
and tighten up the inlet
hoses.
Open the filter door and
place a container under-
neath to catch any spill-
age. 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
P0041
P0011
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.
Unscrew and remove the filter.
P0132
P0133
Clean carefully under a
fast running tap.

Warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the pro-
gramme 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 retight-
ened so as to stop leaks and young children being able
to remove it.
