Important safety information  
Before installing and first using the washing machine, read the instruction booklet carefully, including  
its hints and warnings. Doing so will ensure that your machine will perform properly and to best  
advantage. Anyone using the machine should be thoroughly familiar with its instructions for use  
and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the machine if it is  
moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use  
and safety.  
Remove stains such as rust, dye, ink and grass before  
Installation  
All packaging and transit locking devices must be  
machine-washing.  
Avoid washing clothes which are frayed or excessively  
removed before the machine is first used. If they are  
not, the result may be damage to the machine or other  
property. See the section Transit locking devices.  
worn.  
Items which have been treated with chemicals such  
as stain removal products, liquid domestic cleaning  
products and similar must be rinsed thoroughly by  
hand before they can be washed in the machine.  
All installation work and other work done on the product  
must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work  
performed by persons with inadequate knowledge  
may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of  
the product and may cause personal injury or damage.  
Wash small items such as thin socks, garment  
ties/laces, lace items etc. in a special laundry net  
to prevent them from getting between the inner  
and outer drums.  
The machine is heavy, so take care when lifting it.  
Never lift the machine by gripping its control panel,  
door, or detergent dispenser.  
Always follow the recommendations of the manu-  
facturers of detergent and fabric conditioner concerning  
the quantities of these products to use. Using too  
much can damage your laundry items.  
Make sure that the power cord is not nipped or other-  
wise damaged and that its hoses do not get crushed  
or kinked when moving the machine in connection  
with installation or cleaning etc.  
Do not overload the drum. Overloading impairs the  
machine's performance and can damage laundry  
items.  
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced  
by a special cable or assembly available from the  
manufacturer or its service agent.  
Before opening the door always check that the water  
has been pumped out of the machine.  
Child Safety  
The washing machine should be used by adults only.  
Do not allow children to play with it or touch its controls  
and moving/movable parts.  
Do not leave the premises while the machine is  
operating.  
After using the machine, turn off its water supply and  
disconnect it from the power supply. When removing  
the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the lead.  
When the machine is operating, the door glass will  
get hot, so it should not be touched. Keep children  
away from the machine when it is operating.  
Leave the door ajar when the machine is not in use,  
to prevent any stale odour.  
Before loading the machine, check that there are  
Make sure that the machine is disconnected from the  
no foreign objects or pets inside the drum.  
power supply during cleaning and maintenance work.  
During Use  
Servicing and repairs must be carried out by a service  
company authorised by the supplier. Use only spare  
parts supplied by these. Never try to repair the  
machine yourself.  
This machine is intended only for normal domestic  
washing and only in accordance with these instructions.  
Using it for other purposes could lead to physical  
injury or damage to property.  
Only machine-washable items should be washed in  
the machine. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer or  
retailer of the item.  
Conservation  
In the interest of the environment:  
At the end of the machine's useful life, disconnect  
the electrical plug from the power supply, then cut  
the electrical lead at the point where it enters the  
machine. Make quite sure that children will not be  
able to play with the severed lead and plug.  
Follow the recommendations of the care label, and  
make sure that pockets are empty and zips and buttons  
are done up before washing.  
Objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws and  
other hard objects can cause serious damage to the  
machine. Make sure that all pockets have been emptied  
before putting garments into the machine.

Using your appliance  
The very first time that the machine is used you should  
run a wash programme with no load in the drum, to clear  
any residues which may have been left by the manufac-  
turing process. Pour approx. 100 ml of detergent straight  
into the drum and run programme G, 40° C.  
When the programme has ended the machine will be  
ready for use.  
1
Loading the machine  
Pull the door latch gently to open the door. Put the items  
to be washed inside the drum. Large and small items can  
be mixed. Try always to wash full loads: for maximum load  
weights see the programme charts. You should only reduce  
the load weight for heavily-soiled items and sensitive fabrics.  
One way of achieving the maximum load size is to fill the  
drum with dry items, but without forcing them in. Another  
way is to weigh the first loads you wash, so you learn to  
estimate the right load size. Close the machine door.  
2
Adding detergent and fabric conditioner  
The amount of detergent you use has an impact on the  
performance of any washing machine. Both too much  
and too little can cause problems. Use only detergent for  
automatic washing machines, and follow the manufacturer's  
instructions when measuring the quantity.  
Increase the quantity of detergent if the load is heavily  
soiled or if you have a hard water supply. Decrease the  
amount for lightly soiled items or less than a full load.  
Excessive foaming may indicate you have used too much  
detergent.  
3
The detergent dispenser is used for fabric conditioner and  
detergent for the main wash. Put the detergent in the larger  
compartment on the left (Fig 1) and the fabric conditioner  
in the smaller one on the right (Fig. 2). Never fill the com-  
partment for fabric conditioner higher than the maximum  
level marked on it. If using pre-wash, add the detergent  
for this straight into the drum.  
Starting the machine  
Before starting the programme, check:  
that the door is closed  
that the machine is plugged in and switched on at  
the wall socket  
4
that the machine's water supply is turned on  
Set the temperature (Fig. 3), select the programme (Fig. 4)  
and press any option buttons you require. Then press the  
ON/OFF button to start the wash. The indicator light will  
come on and after 5 seconds the door locks shut electrically  
and the machine starts working.

Empty pockets.  
small ones.  
Ensure buttons and zips are fastened.  
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour  
fastness and degree of soilage.  
Consult the care label on the garment. Only wash  
fabrics wich are designed to be machine washed.  
White items should not be washed with coloured items.  
Place small items such as socks, laces, hand-  
kerchiefs etc in a washing bag or pillow case, as it  
is possible for such items to slip down between the  
tub and the inner drum.  
Wash new coloured items separately when washing  
for the first time.  
Treat stains such as paint, ink, rust and grass before  
washing.  
Items that should not be put in the machine:  
Avoid washing frayed or torn articles.  
Underwired bras.  
When washing fabrics requiring different wash  
temperatures, always select the lowest temperature.  
Garments which have been in contact with volatile  
or petroleum based products.  
Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the  
appliance.  
Some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed in  
large commercial machines. Check with the manu-  
facturer of the item.

- Rinse-hold is an optional function available for the Synthetics, Delicate, and Wool programmes. To select  
rinse-hold, press the option button on the machine control panel. Rinse-hold means that the programme halts and  
the water from the last rinse is retained in the machine to minimise creasing in synthetic fibres.  
Once the programme has stopped on rinse-hold, if you wish to end the wash with both emptying of water and  
spinning of the load, press the option button again so it pops out.  
If you wish to end the wash by emptying the water without spinning, you have to advance the programme control  
knob manually, to programme setting L. Before you advance the programme control knob manually, we recommend  
that you first press the On/Off button to switch the machine off (button pops out). Once the programme control knob  
is set at L, press the On/Off button again (button remains in) to complete the programme.

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.  
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.  
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and house-  
hold textiles and to make them last longer you should use  
different types of detergent for different washes, whether  
for whites, colours or delicates.  
Delicate Items  
When washing delicates such as  
woollens, you should use a product  
which is specially designed to care to  
care for fine fabrics. Drefs Automatic  
is suitable for woollens and other  
delicates.  
Whites  
We recommend the Ariel product  
range which is biological and  
designed to provide excellent  
cleaning and stain removal even  
at low temperatures.  
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 coloureds.  
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.  
And in which form?  
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they  
are also available in different forms. Whether you choose  
a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is down  
to personal choice.  
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  
Traditional Powders  
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do  
not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.  
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’ and also reduce  
static cling on synthetics and make ironing easier.  
They are available in two types:  
Traditional Liquids  
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of  
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol  
the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the  
dispenser drawer. Alternatively the detergent is measured  
into the specially designed dosing devicewhich should  
be placed on top of the laundry and at the back of the  
machine drum.  
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  
, start  
symbol  
.
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage  
instructions and never exceed the  
MAX level.  
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 devicewhich should be placed on top  
of the laundry and at the back of the machine drum.  
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  
Use a container such as a bowl to catch water running  
out of it.  
The cabinet  
Clean the outside surfaces of the machine using a mild  
(non-abrasive) household cleaning product. Finish by  
removing remaining traces of the product with a damp cloth.  
Turn the programme control knob to an Drain pro-  
gramme, restart the machine and let that programme  
run for a short time.  
The detergent dispenser  
Release the discharge hose from the plastic clip  
on the machine rear. Place the end of the hose in  
a bowl or bucket.  
In time, residues of detergent and fabric conditioner are  
likely to build up inside the detergent dispenser. It should  
be cleaned at regular intervals by flushing it out with water.  
If necessary, the whole dispenser can be taken out of the  
machine for cleaning. You need to pull it firmly outwards,  
so that it comes free of a retaining stop (Fig. 1).  
When you begin using the machine again, you will need  
to reconnect the water intake and discharge hoses.  
Do not use cleaning products which contain  
alcohol (spirits), thinners and similar substances.  
To remove the siphon (at the inside edge of the dispenser)  
for cleaning, you need to press it inwards and pull it upwards  
at the same time (Fig. 2). When you put it back, press it  
downwards until you hear a distinct click.  
Inside the opening for the detergent  
dispenser  
Detergent residues can also build up inside the opening  
for the detergent dispenser. You can use an old toothbrush  
for cleaning this area (Fig. 3). When you have finished and  
put back the dispenser, run a short programme with no  
wash load in the machine to rinse it clean.

Cleaning inside the machine  
If you mostly use your machine for low-temperature washes  
and/or if you use only very little detergent, you should clean  
the inside of the machine about once a month. This will  
prevent mould or stale odours from developing.  
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder  
(such as Ariel Futur) and run a wash programme at the  
highest temperature with no wash load in the machine.  
Descaling  
If your water supply is harder than 7° dH, you should descale  
your washing machine at least once every three months.  
Use approx. 150 ml of citric acid instead of detergent and  
run a wash programme at the highest temperature with no  
wash load in the machine. Limescale deposits on compo-  
nents such as the machine's heating element will reduce  
their service life. (Contact your water company to find out  
the hardness level of your local water supply).  
Protecting the machine against  
freezing  
If the machine is kept in a place where the temperature  
may sometimes falls below 0° C, there is a risk that the  
small amount of water which remains inside parts of the  
machine after normal use will freeze and damage it.  
To prevent this you should:  
Turn off the water supply to the machine and dis-  
connect the water intake hose from the supply pipe.  
Select a wash programme, start the machine and let  
the programme run for a short time.  
Lower the tap end of the intake hose to floor level.

Unpacking the machine  
If the machine is damaged  
If the machine has been damaged during transportation,  
you should immediately notify the company responsible  
for delivering it.  
1
Check that the washing machine is undamaged. If you  
discover any damage, faults or that anything is missing, you  
should notify the seller immediately. Never leave packaging  
material in a place where children may play with it.  
When lifting the machine  
Take care when lifting the machine. Incorrect methods of  
lifting can cause physical injuries, and also increase the  
risk of damage to the machine. Open the door and take  
hold of it inside the top of the door opening. You can also  
grasp the rear overhang of the machine top to lift this  
machine. Never lift the machine by gripping its control  
panel, the door itself, or its detergent dispenser (Fig. 1).  
2
Transit locking devices  
When supplied the washing machine is packed using a  
number of locking devices/packing pieces to prevent drum  
and motor from damage in transit. These must all be  
removed before the washing machine is installed.  
Spread some of the polystyrene packaging materials on  
the floor behind the machine and then lay the machine  
carefully rear-side-down on them. Make sure that no  
hoses are crushed in the process (Fig. 2).  
3
Remove the polystyrene base the machine was transported  
on. Then return the machine to its normal upright position  
and undo the three screws on its rear (Fig. 3).  
The three holes must then be plugged with the plastic  
plugs supplied with the machine in the plastic bag inside  
the drum (Fig. 4).  
Identification of materials  
All materials used in packaging this machine are  
environmentally-friendly. The various plastics used  
are identified and can be recycled:  
• PE stands for polyethylene, which is used for the bag  
around the machine and the bag in which these instructions  
were supplied.  
4
• PS stands for polystyrene (moulded), which is used for  
the sections of packaging needed to cushion the machine.  
The cardboard components of the packaging are made  
from recyclable paper and should be taken to a collection  
point for recycling.  
The machine contains plastic and rubber components.  
These have identifying marks to show what they are  
made from, so they can be recycled or disposed of  
properly at the end of the machine's life.  
The materials are identified according to international  
standards.

Installation  
The machine must be installed on a sound and  
firm surface and must not be touching walls or  
furniture.  
1
Levelling the machine  
Adjust the feet to level the machine. Make sure  
the machine is standing on all four feet. Accurate  
levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement  
of the machine during operation. (Fig. 1).  
Some vibration is normal and unavoidable when  
the machine is spinning the load, 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.  
2
When the appliance location is on carpet  
floors, attention must be paid so as to  
ensure that there is no obstruction to  
the bottom vents.  
Water inlet  
Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe  
thread (Fig. 2).  
The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form  
of extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose  
must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose,  
specially designed for the purpose.  
3
The machine end of this hose can be turned in  
any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the  
hose, then retighten the nut (Fig. 3).

Water drainage  
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.  
If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the  
end of the hose into a standpipe installed for the  
purpose. The standpipe must have an internal dia-  
meter of at least 40 mm (1 1/2”) 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.  
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 not too low. The top of the curve in the hose’s  
end should be no more than 800 mm (31.5”), and  
no less than 450 mm (17.8”) above floor level.  
The discharge hose can be extended up to total  
3,5 m. For the extension piece use a hose with an  
internal diameter at least as large as that of the  
machine's own hose. Use a suitable hose connector.  
The hose should always be routed at floor level,  
rising up only where it meets the waste pipe.  
Power supply  
The washing machine is supplied with a lead and  
electrical plug for connection to a 230 V, 13 A  
earthed wall socket. Before any work is carried out  
on the machine, it must be isolated from the electric  
mains supply, for example by removing the plug  
from the wall socket.  
Permanent electrical installation must be  
carried out by an authorised electrician.
