Safety Warning
For your continued safety and to reduce the risk of injury or electric shock,
please follow all the safety precautions listed below.
WARNING!
• If you will not be using the washing machine for a while such as when
you go on holiday, disconnect the plug from the mains supply and
turn o the water supply to the washing machine. This is particularly
important if there is no drainage around the washing machine.
• If the water supply is left on, water pressure may build up and cause a
leak.
General Use
• Transit bolts are used to transport the washing machine. You should
remove these using a spanner or similar tool before you install the
washing machine. If you do not, it will cause strong vibrations when the
washing machine is spinning.
• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp or exposed
to the weather. If you do, it may cause an electric shock, re, failure or
deterioration.
• Do not pour water directly onto any part of the washing machine. It may
cause a short circuit or electric shock.
• Keep burning objects such as candles or cigarettes, away from the
washing machine. They may cause a re or damage.
• Keep ammable substances well away from the washing machine – for
example kerosene, gasoline, benzene, paint thinner and alcohol, or
clothing soaked with these. They may cause an explosion or a re.
• This washing machine is only suitable for washing textiles labelled
‘washing machine washable’.
• Do not connect the washing machine to hot water. The washing
machine works with cold water only.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on to check
that the hose is properly connected. If it’s not, there may be a water leak.
• Do not put too much laundry or detergent into the washing machine. It
may cause issues with the washing machine or laundry.
• Be careful not to get your laundry caught in the door when you close it.
This could cause a water leak or damage your laundry.
• This washing machine is for household (domestic) use only.

5
Power Source and Cable
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, rated at 10
Amp 220V to 240V AC. If the washing machine is plugged in with other
appliances, it may overheat and cause a re.
• Make sure the mains plug is pushed rmly into the socket. A loose
connection may overheat and cause electrical shock or a re.
• Check the mains lead and mains plug for any damage. If the mains cable
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unplug the mains lead when cleaning the washing machine.
• Do not touch the mains lead or mains plug with wet hands. It may cause
an electric shock.
• Check the mains plug regularly for dirt. If dirt accumulates on the mains
plug, it could cause a re. To prevent this, unplug the cable and clean
the mains plug with a dry rag.
• If you disconnect the mains plug, hold onto the mains plug not the
cable. Pulling the cable may cause an electric shock or a re.
• Do not use a mains plug adaptor or extension cable. It may overheat
and cause a re.
• Make sure your home voltage matches the voltage displayed on the
washing machine. If you are not sure, contact an electrician.
• The mains plug must remain accessible to allow disconnection or an all
pole switch must be incorporated in the xed wiring in accordance with
the wiring regulations.
To Prevent Injury / Damage
• Do not climb on the washing machine. You may hurt yourself or damage
the washing machine.
• When opening and closing the door ensure you keep ngers away from
the door hinge, or this could lead to injury.
• Check your washing for objects such as nails, pins, coins, clips etc. They
could damage your laundry or the washing machine.
• To prevent any large, heavy objects (e.g., buckles, large buttons, etc.)
from hitting the glass door, turn your clothing inside out or remove
the heavy objects. They could damage your laundry or the washing
machine.
• Do not wash, rinse or spin water-proof sheets or clothing. These may
cause vibration or washing machine failure during spin-drying, which
could lead to injury, damage to the washing machine or damage due to
water leaking.

6
• Be careful when draining hot water or any detergent from the drum.
• Do not dismantle, repair or modify the washing machine. The washing
machine could malfunction and cause a re or injury.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• Do not touch the laundry inside the washing machine, until the drum
has completely stopped. Even if the drum is spinning at low speed it can
cause an injury. Take particular care of children in this respect.
• The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using the new
hose-set supplied. Old hose-sets should not be reused.

Moving and Installing
Removing the Anchor Bolts
Four anchor bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it’s being moved.
They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not supplied) and follow the
instructions detailed below.
Don’t run the washing machine without removing the bolts, as this can cause excessive
vibrations.
Moving the Washing Machine from One Location to Another
Make sure to fix the anchor bolts prior to moving the washing machine.
Before you move the washing machine
• Shut off the tap and run the washing machine to drain the water. Drain any remaining
water from the pump hose.
• Depressurise the water supply hose and remove it.
• Disconnect the mains cable.
• Attach the anchor bolts.
To remove the anchor bolts:
1. Use a spanner to loosen the bolts. They are located at the rear side of the washing machine.
2. Pull the bolts out horizontally. Make sure the entire bolt is removed.
3. Remove the 4 plastic bolt guides if not removed with the bolt.
4. Cover the holes with the cover caps

Levelling the Washing Machine
There are 4 levelling feet on the underside. They must be adjusted to make sure the washing
machine is level.
1. On each stand, loosen the lock nut by turning it with a spanner.
2. Adjust all four feet in this way.
3. Use a spirit level to ensure the washing machine is level.
4. Tighten each lock nut by turning them again using a spanner.
Ensure all four lock nuts are tightened securely. Check the feet are still
bolted to the washing machine - if they’re unbolted, the washing machine
will move around.
Water Supply Hose
Points to remember
• F ollow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks.
• Don’t connect the hose to a combination tap.
• Don’t twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.
• Optimum water pressure in the main pipe is 0.05 MPa - 1.0 MPa. If the water pressure is
set higher than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Water-flow from the
tap should be more than 5 litres per minute. If you’re unsure, ask a qualified technician to
connect the hose.
• This unit must only be connected to cold water mains using the new water inlet hose
provided.
Connecting the Water Supply Hose
1. Attach the hose to a tap, and tighten
the plastic joint by hand.
2. Open the tap slowly and check that
there are no leaks around the joint.
