Your New Washing Machine
Your new washing machine, which is fitted with the New Jet System, 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
In the interest of the
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.
●
●
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.
The balance control 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:
●
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
●
Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
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.
●
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.
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, 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”.

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.
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. We advise you to close the
water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the
socket. Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing
machine.
After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.
Pay attention to the level and temperature of the
water in the washing machine!

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.

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.
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.
* 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 marked
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
with the symbol
.
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the MAX
level.
suitable for all washable fabrics
including silks, woollens and colours.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
P0038
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
To run a maintenance wash:
●
The drum should be empty of laundry.
• 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.
●
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
●
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder (such as Ariel Futur).
Proceed as follows:
External cleaning
• Disconnect the appliance.
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
• Open the pump door.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
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.
C0067
C0066

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• 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.
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
P1090
• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
●
Turn off the water tap.
●
Unscrew the inlet hose.
●
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.
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and
place the latter back in its seat.
●
Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition
the emergency emptying hose after having put the
cap on again.
●
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
P1117
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• Screw the pump cover fully in.
• Close the pump door.
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• open the pump door;
Warning
• 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;
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.
• 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.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.

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.

drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load
manually and select the spin programme.
●
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.
●
No water is visible in the drum
Unsatisfactory washing results
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water without affecting performance.
●
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.
