Improper repairs may lead to serious risks for the user.

Connecting the appliance to the water supply
Important: This appliance must not be connected to the hot water supply. When connecting the appliance, use only new hose kits. Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the requirements of DIN1986 and DIN1988. Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose.

Permitted water pressure

The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (=10N/cm2 =0.1MPa), and may be a maximum of 10bar (=100N/cm2 =1MPa). If more than 10bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve. If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose from the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition remove the filter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket behind it.) Replace the filter.

Water inlet

A 1.35m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance. If a longer inlet hose is required, only hoses from the manufacturer are to be used. Your local Service Force stocks hose kits of different lengths. Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose fitting or are included as spare parts. Do not use any other sealing rings. Important! All threaded hose fittings must only be tightened by hand. 1. Connect the hose with the right-angle connector to the machine. Important! Do not position the inlet hose vertically downwards. Position it to the right or the left as shown in the illustration.
2. Connect the hose with the straight connector to a water tap with an R (inch) screw thread. 3. Slowly turn on the tap and check that all connections are watertight.

Water Drainage

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic U-Piece supplied. The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks. When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90 cm (35.4) and no less than 60 cm (23.6) above floor level.

The upright standpipe should have a minimum, length of 30 cm (12) from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram).

Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips: Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments. The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded. When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent. With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
Main features of your washing machine

If these requirements are met, when you pause the machine the door can be opened. 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 machine! When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button again, the machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted.

Detergent dispenser drawer

Programme chart

Compartment for prewash or soak detergent and stain remover. The prewash or soak detergent is added at the beginning of the wash programme. The stain remover is added during the STAIN-Action phase in the main wash. Compartment for powder or liquid detergent used for main wash. It is emptied at the beginning of the wash cycle. Compartment for liquid additives (fabric softener, starch). It is emptied during the last rinse. The quantity of additives must not exceed the MAX mark in the drawer.

Before the first wash

Before your first wash, we recommend that you run a cotton cycle at 60C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the machine.

Preparing the wash cycle

Sorting out and preparing the laundry
Sort out the laundry according to type of fabrics and care labels (see Types of fabric and care labels). Empty pockets. Remove any metal parts (safety pins, clips, etc.). To prevent the laundry from getting damaged and forming bundles, it is advisable to close zips, button up pillowcases and quilt covers and tie up loose straps such as those of aprons. Turn double faced items inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.) Turn coloured knitted fabrics, woollens and fabrics with trim inside out. Wash small and delicate items (baby socks, tights) inside a laundry net or in a pillow case closed with a zip, or in larger socks. Treat curtains with special care. Remove all metal or plastic hooks or put them in a net or a bag. We decline any responsibility in case of damage. Whites and coloureds must be washed separately: white items can loose their whiteness. New coloured fabrics often have excess dyes; it is advisable to wash them separately for the first time. Wash small and large items together; this improves the washing result and the laundry is better distributed during spinning. Shake out garments before putting them into the machine. Insert each garment separately.

Types of fabric and care labels
The labels on garments help you to select the most suitable wash programme. The laundry should be sorted out according to the type of fabric and the instructions indicated on care labels. Temperatures indicated on labels are always maximum temperatures. Cotton 95 Linen and cottons marked with this symbol can be washed at high temperatures. Cotton 60 Linen and cottons marked with this symbol are colourfast and can be washed at 60C. Cotton Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore the washing temperature must not exceed these values. Synthetics (Easy-cares) Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a gentle wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the specific programme.

Delicates Microfibres, synthetics or curtains marked with these symbols require a very gentle treatment. The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of fabric.
Woollens and particularly delicate items Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are particularly sensitive to machine washing. The WOOLLENS programme is suitable for this type of fabric. If the label has the symbol (do not wash), the garments must not be machine washed!

Detergents and additives

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.

WHITES

We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures.

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.

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.

DELICATE ITEMS

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.

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.

STAIN REMOVER

For heavily soiled garments to be washed with STAINAction, you should use stain removers such as VANISH In-Wash, Ecover Stain Salt and GloWhite Booster.

TOUGHER ON STAINS

FOR WHITES AND COLOURS JUST ADD TO DETERGENT

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.

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 , start the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer. 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.

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 manufacturers 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. * If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving softness, and also reduce static cling on easy-cares and make ironing easier. They are available in two types: 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 with the symbol. Follow the manufacturers 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. 22

Cleaning and maintenance

After each wash
At the end of the wash programme, pull the dispenser drawer out a little to let it dry. Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate. If the machine is not used for a prolonged period: Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

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. To run a maintenance wash: The drum should be empty of laundry. Select the hottest cotton wash programme. Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder (such as Ariel Futur).
Periodical cleaning Exterior
Clean the outside of the cabinet with soap and water only. Rinse with clean water and dry. Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer. Clean the drawer, from time to time, by rinsing it under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner. 28
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be removed. Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.

Door seal

Regularly check to see, if there are deposits or foreign objects in the rubber seal behind the door and remove them.
The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. Place a container under the filter and unscrew it; some water will come out of the filter. Pull out the filter. Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in.

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked. Turn off the water tap. 29

The unbalance detection device that prevents excessive vibration during spinning has cut in.
Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin
If the laundry is not evenly distributed inside the drum at the beginning of the spin cycle, the machine detects this and tries to redistribute it more evenly by means of a few drum rotations. Only when the laundry is more evenly distributed will the spin cycle be performed, at a lower speed, if the laundry is not evenly distributed. If, after about 6 minutes, the laundry is still tangled, the machine will not spin. Therefore, if the laundry is still wet at the end of the cycle, it is advisable to redistribute it manually inside the drum and to select the spin programme.
Unsatisfactory washing results
If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found in the drum Too little detergent has been used. An unsuitable detergent has been used. Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. The programme/temperature has not been correctly selected. If grey stains remain on the laundry Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has been washed with an insufficient amount of detergent. The temperature selected for the wash programme was too low. Fabric softener - especially the concentrated type - has come into direct contact with the laundry. Wash these stains immediately and pour fabric softener carefully. Foam is still visible even after the last rinse Modern detergents often produce foam, even in the last rinse. However the laundry has been completely rinsed. White residue is left on the laundry This is due to insoluble components in modern detergents and is therefore not the result of insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the laundry. In future, it may be better to turn garments inside out before washing them. Check the choice of detergent; try using liquid detergents.

Water drainage

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic U-Piece supplied. The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. When discharging into a stand3 pin pipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90 cm (35.4) and no less than 60 cm (23.6) above floor level.
Max. 90 cm.(35.4") Min.60 cm.(23.6")
The upright standpipe should have a minimum length of 30 cm (12) from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that it is designed in such a way that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic U -Piece supplied.
Important Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.
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. 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.
