Your New Washing Machine
Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry
with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

G
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.
The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing
machine remains stable when spinning.
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.
Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:
G
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
G
Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
How do we help to protect the environment?
We use recycled paper!
G
The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
G
With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.
G
Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.
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, 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”.

10. How to change a programme
during its cycle
Before you make any change, you must pause the
washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE
button.
It is possible to change any phase before the programme
carries it out.
Changing the type of fabric or temperature is possible,
obviously, only during the washing phase. When you
make a change in these two parameters, the washing
machine will resume the cycle from the beginning.
8. Select the desired options
If your laundry is very dirty, it may be advisable to
select the PREWASH option.
If you wish the laundry to undergo an extra rinse, select
the SUPER RINSE option.
If your laundry is only slightly soiled, select the QUICK
WASH option.
Press the OPTIONS button so as to cause one or two
lights to light up.
If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the
programme in progress, proceed as follows:

11. How to cancel a programme
during its cycle
To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first
pause the washing machine by pressing the
START/PAUSE button, then press the SKIP/RESET
button repeatedly, until all lights go out.
13. End of programme
At the end of the programme, the washing machine
stops automatically and gives an audible signal.
If you had selected the RINSE HOLD option, the
START/PAUSE button light flashes and the light
remains lit to indicate that the water must be drained.
When the programme has been completed, the light
remains lit and the audible signal is given.
12. How to open the door during
the cycle of a programme
You can open the door, after having set the washing
machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions
exist:
The DOOR LOCKED light goes out at once.
Press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly to erase
the programme that has just been carried out. If you
omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing
machine on, you will hear the audible signal.
• the washing machine is not in the heating phase
beyond 40°C;
Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must
erase the previously performed programme, it is also
sufficient to press the FABRIC button and select a new
programme.
• the level of the water is not high;
• the drum is not turning.
Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. The
relevant light will go out.
If these requirements are met, when you pause the
washing machine, the DOOR LOCKED light goes out
and the door can be opened.
Remove the laundry from the washing machine.
Check whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to
prevent any items of laundry from remaining
accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged
in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour
into another load of laundry.
Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it
be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off
by pressing the ON/OFF button.
After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.
Pay attention to the level and temperature of the
water in the washing machine!
We advise you to close the water supply tap and
disconnect the plug from the socket.
When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button
again, the washing machine will resume the programme
from the point where it had been interrupted.
Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

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.
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.
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
the machine immediately upon placing the
detergent in the dispenser drawer.
WHITES
We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.
, start
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
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.
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 programme.
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
woollens 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 fabrics
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.

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.

The “coloured cotton programme” at 60°C with a wash load of 5 kg is the reference programme for the data entered in
the energy label, in compliance with EEC 92/75 standards.
* This data is given purely as an indication: the consumption values may vary in relation to the quantity and type of
laundry, the temperature of the water supply and the ambient temperature. The data refers to the highest temperature
provided for each programme.
The machine is capable of washing up to 6 kg, however, to achieve optimum wash results it is recommended
that the above wash load are adhered to.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment
should be removed.
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.
C0067
C0066
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.
C0068
P1086
Maintenance Wash
Cleaning the drawer recess
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.
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.
To run a maintenance wash:
G
The drum should be empty of laundry.
G
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
G
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.
P0038
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.

The water inlet filter
Cleaning the filter
The water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct operating of the
machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every
washing programme.
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.
Open the filter door and place a container underneath 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.
P1090
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
G
Turn off the water tap.
G
Unscrew the inlet hose.
G
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
P0861
P0860
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hoses in a bowl. Run the draining programme.
Unscrew and remove the filter.
To do this:
Clean carefully under a fast running tap.
G
Switch the machine on
G
Select a washing programme
G
Press the SKIP/RESET button three times
G
Press START/PAUSE button
G
Disconnect the appliance.
G
Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.
G
When you intend to start the machine up again, make
P0040
P0859
sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
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.

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 15 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.
G
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.
G
No water is visible in the drum
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water without affecting performance.

Levelling
In the interest of the
environment
Washing machines 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.
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 (check diagonally).
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 drainage department.
P1051
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
