Ecological hints  
To save water and energy and help protect the  
environment, we recommend that you follow these  
hints:  
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.  
Normally soiled laundry may be washed without  
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and  
time (the environment is protected too!).  
The machine works more economically if it is fully  
loaded.  
With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited  
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be  
washed at a lower temperature.  
Measure out detergent according to the water  
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of  
laundry being washed.  
Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the  
machine as small loads are uneconomical.  
Save energy and reduce drying time by ensuring the  
laundry load has been thoroughly spun before  
attempting to machine dry.  
Materials marked with the symbol  
recyclable.

Plumbing In  
P0352  
P0351  
Your new 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 a suitable existing tap with the  
drain hose discharging into a sink.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Water inlet  
An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the  
machine drum.  
There should be a minimum vertical distance of 5.02m  
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom  
of the water storage tank.  
Do not use the hose from your previous  
machine to connect to the water supply.  
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose .  
2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the  
machine.  
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.  
A
HEC0024  
3. Remove the security gasket cup by turning and  
pulling it away. Pay attention not to move or remove  
the gasket.  
Important!  
U” piece  
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle  
the hose to the left or right depending on the  
position of your water tap.  
supplied  
P1199  
4. 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.  
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.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a  
clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see  
diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the  
washing machine.

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.  
Loop  
P1198  
3 pin  
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.  
Levelling  
HEC0012  
Level the 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.  
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  
18 mm.  
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.  
If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do  
not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly  
into the standpipe.  
HEC007S  
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.  
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, (see note on  
positioning), 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.  
P1212  
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.  
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove  
any blanking plug that may be in place.

Programme information  
Easy iron 40°  
Spin  
This programme at 40°C reduces creasing on synthetic  
garments and therefore reduces the amount of ironing  
required. The laundry is gently washed and spun to  
prevent the fabrics creasing.  
Separate long spin at the max speed for hand washed  
garments. It automatically defaults to the setting for  
cotton items. You can reduce the speed by pressing the  
relevant button to adapt it to the fabrics to be spun.  
Rinses  
45 Minute wash  
With this programme it is possible to rinse and spin  
garments which have been washed by hand. The  
machine performs 3 rinses, followed by a final long spin  
at the maximum speed.  
This is a complete programme to be used for half load  
of slightly or normally soiled cotton items. This  
programme performs a good washing efficiency in a  
short time.  
Important!

Hints & tips on washing and drying  
Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the  
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.

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.  
For drying, follow the indications given on the  
manufacturer’s labels.  
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.  
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 tap must be open and  
the drain hose must drain water into a sink  
or into the drain pipe, even during the drying  
cycle.

Maintenance and cleaning  
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the  
electricity supply, before you can carry out any  
cleaning or maintenance work.  
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 washing, and  
according to the softening powder manufacturer's  
instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of  
lime deposits.  
SM004  
SM005  
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.  
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.  
P0038  
To run a maintenance wash:  
Cleaning the pump  
The water drain filter  
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).  
The pump should be inspected if  
• The machine does not empty and/or spin  
• The machine makes an unusual noise during draining  
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking  
the pump.  
External cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap  
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.  
Proceed as follows:  
• Disconnect the appliance.  
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.  
• Open the pump door levering on the groove with a  
coin.  
Place a bowl with a small edge close to the pump  
to collect any spillage.  
Cleaning the dispenser drawer  
The detergent 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 fabric softener  
compartment should be removed.

26  
 
Pull out the emergency emptying cap from the filter  
cover, using a pliers.  
Warning  
When no more water comes out, unscrew the  
pump cover, using a pliers, and remove the filter.  
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of  
water when removing the cover.  
When the appliance is in use and depending on the  
programme selected there can be hot water in the  
pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash  
cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the  
cycle, and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it  
is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young  
children being able to remove it.  
Cleaning 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.  
Refit the inlet hose. Clean carefully under a fast running  
tap.  
• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by  
rotating it.  
• Replace the emergency emptying cap into the filter  
cover and fix it firmly.  
P1090  
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.  
Place a bowl with a small edge close to the pump to  
collect any spillage from the emergency emptying  
cap.  
• Close the pump door.  
Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on

Something not working  
If the washing machine is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before  
contacting your local Service Force agent.  
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or  
installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.  
During machine operation it is possible that the buzzer sounds, the red light of the Start/Pause button flashes and  
one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:  
E10  
-
-
-
-
: problem with the water supply  
: problem with water draining  
: door open  
E20  
E40

The Rinse hold option has been selected.  
E20  
The drainage system pipes are blocked ( ).  
The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum  
to allow the machine to spin.  
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates  
too much foam).  
Check whether there are any leaks from the inlet hose fittings. It is not  
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see  
if it is damp.  
There is water on the floor  
The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.  
The filter has not been fully screwed in after cleaning or the emrgency  
emptying cap has not been refitted on the filter.  
Unsatisfactory washing results  
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An  
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and  
causes lime scale to form.  
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing  
The correct wash programme/temperature has not been selected.  
Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.

Symptom  
Possible causes  
The machine vibrates when  
spinning  
The internal packing has not been removed.  
The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.  
The machine is not level and stable (check diagonally).  
The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.  
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.  
The door will not open  
The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.  
The machine is heating the water.  
The drum is turning.  
In any case the door can be opened only when the «Door lock»  
light has gone out.  
The electronic balance control device has cut in because the laundry is  
Spinning starts late or the  
machine does not spin  
not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by  
reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before  
the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after few  
minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the  
machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and  
select the spin programme.  
The machine makes an unusual  
noise  
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes a different  
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor  
ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the  
drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.  
No water is visible in the drum  
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically  
using very little water without affecting performance.  
The machine does not dry or  
does not dry properly  
The drying time or degree of drying has not been selected  
E10  
The water tap is not turned on (
