ding it, to a draining  
duct or a wall drain  
situated between 65  
and 100 cm from the  
floor;  
• the socket is compatible with the washer-  
dryers plug. If this is not the case, replace  
the socket or the plug.  
65 - 100 cm  
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp  
fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp  
socket for immediate use. Before using the  
appliance please read the instructions below.  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
EARTHED.  
The drain hose may  
be connected to  
an under-sink trap.  
Before connecting  
the drain hose from  
the machine ensure  
that any blanks or  
removable ends have  
been taken off the  
spigot.  
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD  
BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRI-  
CIAN.  
Replacing the fuse:  
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA  
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be  
used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse  
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a  
replacement is obtained.  
Where it connects to  
the waste water pipe  
cut end off spigot or  
remove the blanking cap  
Replacement fuse covers:  
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be  
of the correct colour as indicated by the colou-  
red marking or the colour that is embossed in  
words on the base of the plug. Replacements  
can be obtained directly from your nearest  
Service Depot.  
If it is placed over  
the edge of a basin  
or sink be sure the  
free end of the hose  
should not be under-  
water.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moul-  
ded plug and you should wish to re-route the  
mains cable through partitions, units etc.,  
please ensure that either:  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere  
rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of ap-  
proval.  
! We advise against the use of hose extensions;  
in case of absolute need, the extension must  
have the same diameter as the original hose  
and must not exceed 150 cm in length.  
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into  
a standpipe, that the end does not go down  
more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pu-  
shed down too far, this may cause the machine  
to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is  
filling.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13  
amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in  
compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible  
without moving the appliance.  
Disposing of the plug:  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,  
you make the pins unusable so that it cannot  
be accidentally inserted into a socket.

before you use it for the first time, run a wash  
cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the  
programme “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the  
washer-dryer”).  
Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or  
coloured Black.  
If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be  
fitted with a  
13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or  
at the distribution board.  
If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical  
supply to your machine, consult a qualified  
electrician before use.

close as possible to the plug body and dispo-  
se of it as described on the previous page.  
! The washer-dryer should not be installed in  
an outdoor environment, not even where the  
area is sheltered, because it may be very dan-  
gerous to leave it exposed to damp, rain and  
thunderstorms.

Care and maintenance  
Cutting off the water and electri-  
city supplies  
Cleaning the pump  
GB  
The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning  
pump which does not require any maintenan-  
ce. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or  
buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which  
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.  
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.  
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system  
inside the washer-dryer and help to prevent  
leaks.  
• Unplug the washer-dryer when cleaning it  
and during all maintenance work.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and  
unplug the appliance.  
Cleaning the washer-dryer  
To access the pre-chamber:  
• The outer parts and rubber components  
of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft  
cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not  
use solvents or abrasives.  
• The washer-dryer has a “Auto Clean” pro-  
gramme for its internal parts that must be run  
with no load in the drum.  
1. using a screwdri-  
ver, remove the cover  
panel on the lower  
front part of the  
washer-dryer (see  
figure);  
To help the wash cycle you may want to use  
either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the  
quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments)  
or special additives to clean the washer-dryer.  
We recommend running a cleaning program-  
me every 40 wash cycles.  
2. unscrew the lid  
by rotating it anti-  
clockwise (see figu-  
re): a little water may  
trickle out. This is  
perfectly normal;  
To start the programme  
A
B
press buttons A and  
B simultaneously for 5  
seconds (see figure).  
The programme will  
start automatically and  
will run for about 70  
minutes. To stop the  
cycle press the START/  
PAUSE button.  
3. clean the inside thoroughly;  
4. screw the lid back on;  
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks  
are securely in place before you push it onto  
the appliance.  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer  
Remove the dispen-  
1
ser by raising it and  
pulling it out (see  
figure).  
Checking the water inlet hose  
Wash it under running  
water; this operation  
should be repeated  
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If  
there are any cracks, it should be replaced  
immediately: during the wash cycles, water  
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose  
could easily split open.  
frequently.

Precautions and tips  
! This washer-dryer was designed and constructed in  
accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-  
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must  
therefore be read carefully.  
Disposal  
GB  
Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regu-  
lations so that the packaging may be re-used.  
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical  
and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household  
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal  
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be  
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and  
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the im-  
pact on human health and the environment. The crossed  
out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of  
your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it  
must be separately collected. Consumers should contact  
their local authority or retailer for information concerning the  
correct disposal of their old appliance.  
General safety  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-  
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental  
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,  
unless they have been given supervision or instruction  
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsi-  
ble for their safety.  
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do  
not play with the appliance.  
– Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.  
– Items that have been soiled with substances such as  
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot re-  
movers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be  
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent  
before being dried in the tumble dryer.  
– Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,  
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes  
or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be  
dried in the tumble dryer.  
– Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used  
as specified by the fabric softener instructions.  
– The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without  
heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left  
at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be  
damaged.  
Opening the porthole door manually  
In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole  
door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the  
laundry, proceed as follows:  
1. remove the plug from the  
electrical socket.  
2. make sure the water level  
inside the machine is lower  
than the door opening; if it  
is not, remove excess water  
using the drain hose, collec-  
ting it in a bucket as indicated  
in the figure.  
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end  
of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed  
and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.  
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.  
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or  
damp hands or feet.  
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging  
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug  
and pull.  
3. using a screwdriver,  
remove the cover panel on  
the lower front part of the  
washer-dryer (see figure).  
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extre-  
mely high temperatures.  
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety  
lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.  
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-  
stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt  
to repair it yourself.  
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while  
it is operating.  
• If it must be moved, proceed with the help of two or th-  
ree people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try  
to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.  
• Before loading laundry into the washer dryer, make sure  
the drum is empty.  
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot.  
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have  
been washed with flammable solvents (e.g.  
trichlorethylene).  
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or  
similar elastomers.  
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure,  
until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull

How to run a wash cycle or a  
drying cycle  
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the On/Off button  
; the text POWER ON will appear on the display and the  
START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green colour.  
2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door. Load the  
laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum load  
value indicated in the table of programmes on the following  
page.  
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Open the detergent  
dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant  
compartments as described in “Detergents and laundry”.  
Set the desired wash intensity.  
GB  
Option  
makes it possible to optimise washing based on the  
level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.  
Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically  
set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average  
level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool” cycle,  
which is automatically set to “Delicate”).  
For heavily-soiled garments press button  
until the “Super  
Wash” level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance  
wash due to a larger quantity of water used in the initial phase  
of the cycle and due to increased drum rotation. It is useful  
when removing the most stubborn stains.  
4. CLOSE THE DOOR.  
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the  
5. SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Press one of the WASH  
CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the required wash

it possible to select two additional rinses to the standard cycle  
rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. Press the button  
for the third time for the “Anti allergy Rinse” level, which makes  
it possible to select three additional rinses to the standard cycle  
rinses and remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat  
and dog hair. Press the button again to go back to the “Normal  
Rinse” rinse type. If the current adjustment can be neither set nor  
changed, the display will show “Not allowed”.  
6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons:  
Modifying the temperature. The machine automatically  
select the maximum temperature set for the selected

! The functions may affect the recommended load value  
and/or the duration of the cycle.  
A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they  
have been dried:  
Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards.  
the remaining dampness softens creases, making them  
easier to remove.  
Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.  
Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a  
cupboard without being ironed.  
Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried  
completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.  
B - Based on a set time period: between 20 and 180 minutes.  
To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until  
the text OFF appears on the display.  
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater  
than the maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and  
when the cycle is complete, divide the garments into groups  
and put some of them back in the drum. At this point, follow  
the instructions provided for a “Drying only” cycle. Repeat  
this procedure for the remainder of the load. A cooling-down  
period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.  
7. START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/PAUSE button.  
The corresponding indicator light will become green, remaining lit in  
a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can  
vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any  
wash options selected.  
For all Test Institutes:  
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: set wash cycle  
60°C (2nd press of the button).  
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 40°C (3rd press of the button).  
3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 60°C (1st press of the button); temperature of 40°C (press TEMPERATURE button).

vironment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash  
action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in  
the same average time of a standard cycle.

garments having strasses or sequins.  
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle  
and set the “Delicate” level from option  
We recommend turning the garments inside out before  
washing and placing small items into the special bag  
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate  
garments for best results.  
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,  
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle  
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and  
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of  
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily  
result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause a  
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to  
environmental pollution.  
.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these  
create too much foam.

Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint machine has  
been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company  
for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable  
provided that the garments are washed according to the  
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the  
manufacturer of this washing machine. Hotpoint is the first  
washing machine brand to be approved by The Woolmark  
Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing per-  
formance and consumption of energy and water (M1127)  
red into the compartment 1.  
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle  
(powder or liquid)  
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the  
removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper  
dosage.  
If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.  
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)  
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.  
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark  
is a Certification trade mark.  
Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:  
button) for washing and drying lightly soiled garments (Cot-  
ton and Synthetic) in a short time. This cycle may be used  
to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45  
minutes.  
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-  
treat cuffs, collars and stains.  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label  
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.  
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.  
• Do not exceed the values listed in the Table of wash cycles”,  
which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
1 sheet 400-500 g  
Load balancing system  
1 pillow case 150-200 g  
1 tablecloth 400-500 g  
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and  
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates  
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the  
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load  
is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced  
spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the  
washer-dryer performs the distribution process instead of  
spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and bal-  
ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed  
in the load.  
Special wash cycles  
Anti Stain : this programme is suitable to heavily-soiled  
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing  
class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When  
running the programme, do not mix garments of different  
colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent.  
Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if  
there are obstinate stains.

Troubleshooting  
Your washer-dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that  
the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.  
GB  
Problem:  
The machine does not switch on.  
Possible causes / Solutions:  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.  
• There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.  
The wash cycle does not start.  
• The door is not closed properly.  
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• The ‘DELAY TIMER’ has been selected.  
• The ‘CHILD LOCK’ is activated (see ‘The machine just ‘beeps’ when a pro-  
gramme or option is selected’ below).  
The machine does not dry.  
• Check the 2 sections above.  
• The ‘DRY’ button has been pressed to exclude drying.  
The clothes are too hot when the  
drying cycle is finished.  
• A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle. If the  
clothes appear too hot to handle leave the door open to allow to cool further  
before removing from the machine.  
The machine does not fill with water • The water inlet hose is kinked.  
or ‘No Water, Check Supply’ is  
shown in the display window.  
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply.  
• The water pressure is too low.  
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• There is no water supply to the house.  
• The inlet valve filter is blocked.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
The machine continuously fills with • The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65

and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).  
• The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run  
into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of  
the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.  
• The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the  
‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.  
The machine does not drain or spin - • The Pump filter is blocked - (see Care & Maintenance).  
‘START/PAUSE’ flashing orange.  
• The drain hose is kinked.  
• New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if con-  
nected under a sink.  
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.  
The wash programme takes too long. • Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperature  
and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme time ac-  
cordingly (see ‘The machine wont spin properly’ below) - (Most Common Cause!).  
The Display sticks at one ‘time to  
end’ for more than 1 Minute or the  
Display changes the estimated ‘Time  
to End’ during the programme.  
• The display time is for guidance only - it is not a precise time to finish  
and may vary.

The machine vibrates a lot during  
the spin cycle.  
• The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.  
• New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the  
Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.  
• The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.

• Theloadisinaslightoutofbalanceconditionandmachineisspinning,butatalowerspeed.  
The machine is noisy.  
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.  
The machine wont spin properly.  
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this happens the ma-  
chine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load required before the machine  
will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase the programme time accordingly. This is  
a safety feature to prevent damage. Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single  
heavy item (eg duvet, quilt, etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.  
The machine leaks from the  
dispenser.  
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.  
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap  
on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.  
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.  
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.  
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill  
hose is missing the rubber washer.  
The machine leaks (other than  
dispenser).  
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.  
Themachineislockedandanerrorcode  
appearsonthedisplay (egF-01,F-..).  
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it  
back on again If the problem persists contact the Technical Assistance Service.  
The machine smells.  
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with deter-  
gent and no laundry.  
The machine door cannot be  
opened.  
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after  
the program has finished.  
• If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlocking  
procedure (see Precautions & Tips).  
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.  
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.  
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.  
The water level is too low when  
the machine is washing.  
The word ‘DEMO ON’ appears in-  
termittently in the display window  
and the drum slowly turns.  
To exit, switch machine off, then press and hold ‘START/PAUSE’ and ‘ON/OFF’  
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.  
• Deactivate the Child Lock feature by pressing and holding in the ‘CHILD  
LOCK’ button for 2 seconds.  
The machine just ‘beeps’ when a  
programme or option is selected  
(Child Lock Symbol is lit).  
There is too much foam.  
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text  
‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).  
Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.  
To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an  
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate  
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.  
After completing the programme, or  
before starting a programme, the ma-  
chine has turned itself off (no lights).  
General.  
Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash  
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress).  
Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to  
be anything wrong!  
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed above.  
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.  
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine washable.
