2. Remove the transit fixings...
There are two transit bolts fitted under plastic covers, one at
either side of the rear of your machine. These bolts prevent
damage to the machine while it is being transported.
Remove both transit bolts complete with spacers, by
following the instructions below.
Use a screwdriver to release the covers and a standard 13mm
spanner to remove both bolts.

3. Connect your machine to the electricity supply
Make sure that the electrical socket is accessible. Take the
mains lead from the back of the machine and plug it into the
socket. We do not recommend wiring your machine directly
into the mains supply.
WARNINGS:

fitting the new lead is carried out by a qualified electrician.
● Do not use the
plug unless
the fuse cover
is fitted.
Changing the plug
If you need to change your plug, ie. if it does not fit your socket;
isolate the machine from the mains supply. Cut off the
supplied plug and safely dispose of the discarded plug.
Note: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains
lead may not match the colour of the markings which show
the different terminals in the plug. You must wire it as shown
below.
● To avoid a
shock hazard,
when
changing a
plug, always

Fuses
Your machine comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A)
fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13
amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse,
lift the holder to vertical position and lift the fuse out. To
replace the fuse, insert the fuse and push the fuse holder down
into the locked position. Correct replacement is identified by
colour coding or the marking on the base of plug.
WARNING:
Do not use the plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked
position and the top cover firmly replaced.
We do not recommend the use of extension leads. If you need
to do so, consult a qualified electrician.

5.Connect the machine to a drainage system...
●
●
●
Take care when you remove the drain hose from the clips on
the back of the machine. All machines are tested with water
before they leave the factory so a small amount of water may
still be in the hose.
Do not remove the hooked end support from the GREY
drainage hose when using any of the drainage methods
detailed below. You may need to reposition it as required along
the drainage hose.
For drainage into a standard work top sink, ensure the outlet
pipe has a minimum diameter of 32mm. If your sink is inset,
the front edge of the basin must be less than 75mm from the
front edge of your worktop, so that the drain hose will hook
securely into the sink. Unclip the drainage hose from the back
of the machine and hook over into the sink. Make sure that the
sink is free of any obstructions and that the sink plug can not
fall into the sink, preventing the water from draining away
freely. Pumped out water may be very hot.

7. Adjust the feet...
Once the machine is in place
Your machine may become noisy or move about if it is not
level. If necessary, to level the machine adjust the two front
feet, as follows:
● When your machine is in its intended
location, make sure that it is level
by turning one or both of the front
feet clockwise until the machine
stands firm and level.
The maximum slope of the table top
must not exceed 2˚.
● The spring on each foot will stop them coming loose.
● Switch the machine on at the plug socket.
Now that you have successfully
installed your new machine, we
advise that you run it through a
95˚ White Cotton programme
without any laundry and without
any detergent in it.
This will check your installation,
connections and drainage, and
will thoroughly clean the interior
before you carry out an actual
wash programme on your laundry.
NOTE: This will take approximately 2
hours to complete.

Wash programmes
To select a programme to suit your individual requirements use the following
series of tables, explaining the wash programme buttons and programme details.
The programmes have been listed by Fabric Type.
The programme times ‘Time to End’...
For each wash programme and option(s) selected the machine automatically
calculates the estimated programme length ‘Time to End’. This is displayed in
hours and minutes shortly after the wash programme temperature has been
displayed. The ‘Time to End’ will then remain lit throughout the wash programme
and counts down to the end of the programme.
Note: These estimated programme times are dependant on the temperature and
pressure of the incoming water supply, the option(s) selected and the load being
washed. They may, therefore change during the fill stages of each programme to
take into account the extra heating or filling time required.
To review the current wash programme during the wash cycle...
This feature allows you to check the running wash programme.
G
To view the temperature of the selected programme - press the
‘Variable Temperature’ button once.
G
To view the spin speed of the selected programme - press the
‘Variable Spin Speed’ button once.
After a few seconds the display window will return to the ‘Time to End’ showing
the remaining programme length.

Automatic Features
Auto half load
Auto half load saves you time and money when washing smaller loads. Water levels are
automatically adjusted to cater for the different loads.
Unbalanced load warning
Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load. This will
minimise excessive vibration and prolong the life of the machine.
Before each spin the machine ‘senses’ the load within the drum and if the machine considers the
load to be unbalanced, it will not automatically spin. Instead the machine will try to redistribute
the load to achieve balance by tumbling backwards and forwards. If it is unable to balance the
load after the sixth attempt the machine will abort the spin process.
If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load, after first opening the door,
redistributing the load and reselecting a fast or slow spin programme. In the case of small loads
or single items you may try adding some extra items of a comparable size to help balance the
load.

Maintenance wash
Using too little detergent can cause a build up of grease, dirt and hard
water salts, which, over time may damage your machine, your clothes
and could cause the machine to smell.
We recommend you carry out a maintenance wash 2 or 3 times a year
avoid a build up of greasy deposits and water hardness residue.
Simply run a 95˚ White Cotton programme without laundry and
without detergent.
NOTE: This will take approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to complete.
● Where the drying only option is regularly used, do this on a
monthly basis.
