Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Your new washing machine has been designed to be permanently plumbed in to your home's water supply and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it may be connected to suitable existing tap with the drain hose discharging into a sink. The appliance has one inlet hose, with female 3/4" BSP thread connector. If this connection is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumber merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber. P1123 P1126 2. Remove the polystyrene block(s) from the bottom of the machine and release the two plastic bags. 3. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag, removing it towards the right and then downwards. Installation on a Suspended Floor P1127 4. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag, removing it towards the left and then upwards. Remove the bottom cover found inside the drum of your appliance, lay it's hook as the arrow 'A' indicates and push the top of the cover to seal it closed. 7 Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable. Water inlet Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance to connect to the water supply. Do not use previously used hoses for water connection. P1199 U piece supplied Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. P1088 38 mm (11.2) standpipe diameter 30 cm (12") Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations' requirements. The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply. A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa is required for safe operation of the appliance. If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system. There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the appliance's inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks. When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level. 3 pin P1039 The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18mm. P0021 Water drainage This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system using one of the following methods. 1. Into a drainage standpipe. Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the "U" piece" supplied. If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do not require the "U" piece". Just push the hose firmly into the standpipe. P1212 8 Min. 60 cm (23.6) Max. 90 cm (35.4) 2. Onto a sink outlet spigot. If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place. Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a wooden floor. Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible, always place the machine on a solid floor. Special conditions If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of the machine. Warning The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile carpeting. Note Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown. Loop P1198 P1197 Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine. 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. Important Before connecting 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. For a correct functioning of the machine the drain hose must be hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top of the back side of the appliance. SHOWER Levelling Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable (check diagonally).

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. 9.

The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide: 1000g = 1 kg Sheet Pillow case Tablecloth Serviette Tea towel Linen hand towel Towelling hand towel Towelling bath towel Bath robe Man's shirt Apron 700-1000 g 100-200 g 400-500 g 50-100 g 70-120 g 100-150 g 150-250 g 700-1000 g 1000-1500 g 200-300 g 150-200 g · White items should not be washed with coloured items. · Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case. · Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic washing machines. · Use the correct quantities of detergent. · For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quantities. · Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care and kept out of reach of children. · Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products, which can be found in most household shops. In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-soak product or biological detergent. · Only wool marked "Pure New Wool - washable, preshrunk" can be washed in the the wool programme; other types of wool should be washed in Wool programme. · 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. · Once you have finished using the machine, you are advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap. · Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with small ones. · Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour-fastness and how dirty it is. · Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may unravel. · Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc). as these could damage the drain pump. · When washing curtains, remove the hooks. · Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons. · It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time. · When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together, always select the lowest temperature. 19 Wash Care Symbols Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results.
