For the User

For the Installer

???Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60??C before draining, with the 95??C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.

???The special WOOL/HANDWASH programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

???The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning.

???The two drying programmes will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

???Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.

???Select an ???economy??? programme for lightly soiled laundry.

???A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry.

???The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded both for washing and drying cycles.

???With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

???Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times.

9.Remove the laundry.

Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance.

The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide:

???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.

???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.

???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.

???Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too long before drying.

???Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.

???If you overdry the laundry, besides wasting energy, any subsequent ironing may become more difficult because the fabric could be heavily crumpled.

???Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.

???To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.

???Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

???Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

???Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.

???For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer???s labels.

May be tumble dried

Drying at high temperature

Drying at reduced temperature

Do not tumble dry

Important: As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.

Therefore, the water taps must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

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.

COLOURS

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 colours.

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 manufacturer???s 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 synthetics 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

manufacturer???s 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.

Important Notes

For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for dispensing detergents and liquid additives.

Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using

fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the machine prematurely.

When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme, place the detergent into the correct compartment in the dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's

instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal.

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).

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.

Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.

Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.

Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the filter

The water drain filter

A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every washing and drying programme.

Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the water manually from the machine at this stage. To do this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out.

Unscrew and remove the filter.

Clean carefully under a fast running tap.

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the filter. Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.

The water inlet filter

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.

Tighten up the inlet hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0??C, certain precautions should be taken.

???Turn off the water tap.

???Unscrew the inlet hose.

???Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme.

???Disconnect the appliance.

???Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.

???When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0??C.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

???pull out the plug from the power socket;

???close the water tap;

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the machine is to be transported again.

Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right bolt.

Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining bolts from the back.

Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into which the bolts were fitted.

Plug the open holes with the plugs supplied with the instruction booklet.

Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed.

Remove the polystyrene base and take off the bottom panel by unscrewing the central screw. Carefully slide out the right polythene bag.

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.

Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Your new washer-dryer 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 a suitable existing tap with the drain hose discharging into a sink.

Repeat the operation for the left and central polythene bags.

Re-fit the bottom panel using the 4 screws supplied with the door hinges (in the plastic bag) and the previously removed screw.

The appliance has an 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 plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing

must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.

Water inlet

Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4?????? thread. Do not use previously employed hoses.

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 (0.5 bar) 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 hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts. After positioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten the ring nuts 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.

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.

If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do not require the ???U??? piece???. Just push the hose firmly into

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system using one of the following methods.

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

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 washer dryer.

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.

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.

Levelling

Level the washer-dryer 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).

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the machine during operation.

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.

In the interest of the environment

Washer-dryers 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.

Electrical connection

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance???s rating plate. The rating plate is located at the top of the rim of the open door.

The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved (BS1363/A) fuse must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter ??E?? or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.

The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal ??N?? or coloured black.

The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked ??L?? or coloured red.

Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.

WARNING:

A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.

Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely. Should the appliance power supply cable neeed to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Force Centre.

Note

When the appliance is installed the power supply cable must be accessible.

Permanent connection

In the case of permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current electrical regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.

Building-in

This appliance has been designed to be built into the kitchen furniture. The recess should have the dimensions shown in picture A.

When installing the appliance into the kitchen furniture ensure, if possible, the hoses are placed in either of the two recesses on the back of the appliance. This will help to prevent the hoses from becoming kinked or trapped. Picture AB.

Preparation and assembly of the door

The machine is originally pre-arranged for the assembly of a door opening from right to left.

In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges (1) and the counter-magnet (6) provided with the appliance, at the right level (Fig. B).

a) Door

The dimensions of the door should be: - width 595-598 mm

- thickness 16-22 mm

The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of the adjacent furniture's base.

b) Hinges

To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes (dia. 35 mm, depth 12.5-14 mm depending on the depth of door furniture) on the inner side of the door. The distance between the holes hobs fixing centres must be 416 mm.

The distance (B) from upper edge of the door to the centre of the hole depends on the adjacent furniture's dimensions.

The required dimensions are given in the picture C. The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood (2-Fig. B) supplied with the appliance.

c) Mounting the door

Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of the M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door. To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw again.

d) Counter-magnet (6)

The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of the door. To enable a correct operation of this device, it is necessary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber ring) into the inner side of the door.

Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the appliance (see picture D).

If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert the position of the plates (7), the magnet (4) and the plate

(5) (Fig. B and E). Mount the countermagnet (6) and the hinges (1) as previously described.

Recommendations regarding the construction and fitting of a base when the installation requires an integrated appliance to be raised

Where the appliance has been raised by mounting onto a wooden base provided by the installer. The material used to construct the base should have a non slip surface, be water repellent and if possible be one solid piece.

If it is not possible to use one solid piece, due to the additional height required, ensure that any additional strips of timber are glued and screwed to the underside of the base (see Fig. F).

Position the base into the recess with its front edge as far forward as the adjoining plinth line will allow.

The reason for placing the base in this position is to allow a small strip of beading to be fitted in front of the appliance feet.

Fix the base firmly to the floor using four appropriate countersunk screws (see Fig. H).

H

With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring the machine is stable, and a clearance of approximately 5 mm is left between the top of the machine and the underside of the worktop.

A final check for stability should be carried out with the machine on spin with a load, this will identify the need for any further fine adjustment to the feet.

A strip of beading approximately 605 mm W, x 5 mm H, x 25 mm D must be screwed down into the base directly in front of the machine???s feet, this will provide additional security.
