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 fifth attempt the machine will abort the spin process.  
As an indicator to you that this has happened the ‘Final Spin’ indicator light will flash, to advise that no spin has been performed.  
If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load after first opening the door, redistributing the load and selecting a fast or  
slow, spin only 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.

If the ‘Door Locked’ indicator light is flashing:  
Shut the door firmly, until it clicks.  
The ‘Door Locked’ indicator light should now stay on.  
We strongly recommend that you  
do not wash underwired bras in  
this machine. Should the wires  
become detached it could cause  
damage to your clothes and the  
machine. If the washcare label  
states that the bra is machine  
washable, then we advise placing  
it in a sealed pillow case or a  
similar washbag. Remember, you  
will be charged for a service call  
resulting from a detached bra  
wire.  
Is the drawer clogged with  
detergent?  
If the door will not open... Check the programme has  
finished, is the ‘End’ progress light lit? It takes about  
two minutes for the ‘Door Locked’ indicator light to  
go out after a programme has finished.  
The door will not open until the ‘Door Locked’  
indicator light has gone out.  
Close the door. Choose a  
programme and then press ‘ON’  
Check all loose items, such as  
coins, have been removed  
from the laundry.  
Has the drain hose been installed  
correctly? Ensure it is not blocked  
or kinked.  
Are the fill hoses on correctly?  
If not tighten them.  
Does the washer need  
replacing?  
Clean the dispenser drawer, see  
STEP 3:‘The Dispenser Drawer’  
Does the ‘door indicator’ light  
come on after 2 seconds?  
Are the drainage unit, standpipe  
or under sink connections free  
from blockages?  
Have both transit bolts been  
removed from the machine?  
Check the drawer is properly  
aligned.  
The ‘Pre-wash’ progress indicator light:  
Is your water pressure too  
high?  
If the ‘Pre-wash’ indicator light is flashing:  
This means that the machine cannot fill.  
Check that the water supply is turned on and that the  
inlet hoses are not kinked.  
Has the polystyrene  
block been  
removed from  
underneath the  
machine?  
Has ‘Rinse Hold’ been selected?  
The light will flash until the button  
is pressed again.  
Is the machine plugged in  
and switched on?  
Turn the main supply tap  
down.  
Do not use the machine if the
