You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again. 1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins. Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor. 6. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will find in the envelope containing the instruction manual. P1128 P0002 Positioning Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. P1129 P0001 2. Remove the polystyrene blocks 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. 1 2 3 P1051 Water inlet P1126 P1123 4. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag, removing it towards the left and then upwards. Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4" BSP thread. Use the hose supplied with the washing machine. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES. The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks. P1127 5. Set the machine upright and remove the remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin. P0351 P0021 5 The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If they are too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use. The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window "A". Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose. Floor drain: the washing machine should be installed where a floor drain or hole is located (depending on plumbing regulations). A floor drain is required to drain away water which may overflow from the washing machine due to a hose leak or malfunction. The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised. A P0352 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. P0023 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 Centre. Water drainage The end of the drain hose can be positioned in four ways: Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall. Electrical connection Plug the washing machine into a properly earthed 3 pin power point. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. CAUTION ! If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. IMPORTANT! P0022 In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground. Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. If the electrical cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer, Authorised Service Agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. 6 Your new washing machine This new machine meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption. · The temperature selector dial will allow you to choose the most suitable temperature for your laundry. · The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care. · The balance control device ensures the machine is stable during the spin. 1 Detergent dispenser drawer 2 Control panel 3 Door handle 4 Drain filter 5 Adjustable feet 1 AQUACYCLE 1000 2 COLD PLUS DELICATES/WOOL DRAIN SOFTENER PREWASH 30°- 95° COTTONS COTTONS 30°- 95° ON/OFF SPIN QUICK REDUCTION WASH EXTRA RINSE HALF LOAD 30° 40° 95° 50° 80° 70° 60° F 1000 RINSES DELICATES 30°- 40° HAND WASH/ WOOL 30°- 40° SHORT SPIN SOFTENER RINSES WORN ONCE RINSES SOFTENER LONG SPIN PREWASH 30°- 60° XXTRACAPACITY SYNTHETICS / MIXED FIBRES SYNTHETICS 30°- 60° 3 4 5 Detergent dispenser drawer The detergent dispenser is divided into three compartments (fig.).
