Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine 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 balance control device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning.

Ecological hints

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

●

●

Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

●

●

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

Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

●

●

●

●

In the interest of the environment

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 shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

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”.

Only wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable, preshrunk” can be washed in the the wool programme; other types of wool should be washed by hands.

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 tap.

●

●

●

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.

132978490.qxd 10/01/2007 10.46 Pagina 13

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.

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.

13

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.

Important Notes

For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for dispensing detergents and liquid additives.

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.

When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme, place the detergent into the correct compartment in the dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.

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.

C0066

C0068

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.

P0038

C0067

P1086

Cleaning the pump

The pump should be inspected if

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the appliance.

• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

• Open the pump door.

17

132978490.qxd 10/01/2007 10.47 Pagina 18

P1114

• Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

• Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap.

• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the cover.

• Screw the pump cover fully in.

• Close the pump door.

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the pump.

Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.

Cleaning 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.

P1115

•

Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.

P1090

• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat.

P1117

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:

•

•

•

•

Remove the plug from the socket.

Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.

Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.

Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts.

When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

18

132978490.qxd 10/01/2007 10.47 Pagina 19

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 and avoid the detergent remains being wasted.

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;

• open the pump door;

• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl.

When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose.

Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;

• screw the pump cover again and close the door.

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

The drainage system pipes are blocked.

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

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

Check whether there are any leaks from 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 cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced after cleaning the pump.

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/temperature has not been selected.

Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.

Symptom Possible causes

The machine vibrates when spinning

●

The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.

●

The machine is not level and stable (check diagonally).

●

●

The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

The door will not open

●

●

●

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

The machine is heating the water.

The drum is turning.

In any case, the door can be opened only when the “Door” pilot light has gone off.

Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin

The machine makes an unusual noise

No water is visible in the drum

●

●

●

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 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.

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

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 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 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.

Installation on a Suspended Floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

24

132978490.qxd 10/01/2007 10.47 Pagina 25

Water inlet

An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the machine drum.

Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose .

2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine.

Important!

Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap.

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.

HEC0006

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.

“U” piece supplied

P1199

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.

38 mm (11.2”) standpipe diameter

HEC0013

P1088

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.

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.

3 pin

HEC0012

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.

25

132978490.qxd 10/01/2007 10.47 Pagina 26

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

If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.

P1212

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

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

P1197

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 washing machine.

Loop

P1198

Important

●

Before connecting 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.

Levelling

Level the washing machine 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.

HEC007

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.

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
