Thank-you for choosing a Hoover washing
machine. We are proud to always offer new,
innovative and technologically advanced
products, with a complete range of home

Carefully read this manual for correct and
safe appliance use and for helpful tips on
efficient maintenance.
Only use the washing machine after
carefully reading these instructions. We
recommend you always keep this manual on
hand and in good condition for any future
owners.
Please check that the appliance is delivered
with this instruction manual, warranty
certificate, service centre address and
energy efficiency label. Also check that
plugs, drain hose support hook and liquid
detergent or bleach tray (only on some
models) are included. We recommend you
keep all these components.
Each product is identified by a unique 16-
character code, also called the “serial

found inside the door opening. This code is
a unique code for your product that you will
need to register the product warranty, or if

This appliance is marked according to
the European directive 2012/19/EU
on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances (which
can cause negative consequences for the
environment) and basic components (which can
be re-used). It is important to have WEEE
subjected to specific treatments, in order to
remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and
recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can
play an important role in ensuring that WEEE
does not become an environmental issue; it is
essential to follow some basic rules:
!WEEE should not be treated as household
waste;
!WEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality or
by registered companies. In many countries, for
large WEEE, home collection could be present.
In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of
equivalent type and has the same functions as
the supplied equipment.

!Connect the water hose to the water
supply tap (fig. 3) only using the hose
supplied with the appliance (do not
reuse old hose-sets).
!SOME MODELS may include one or
more of the following features:
!HOT&COLD (fig. 4):
water mains connection settings with hot
and cold water for higher energy savings.
Connect the grey tube to the cold water
tap and the red one to the hot water
tap. The machine can be connected to
the cold water tap only: in this case, some
programs may start a few minutes later.
!AQUASTOP (fig. 5):
a device located on the supply tube that
stops water flow if the tube deteriorates;
in this case, a red mark will appear in the
window “A” and the tube must be
replaced. To unscrew the nut, press the
one-way lock device "B".
!AQUAPROTECT – SUPPLY TUBE WITH
GUARD (fig. 6):
Should water leak from the primary
internal tube "A", the transparent
containment sheath "B" will contain water

At the end of the cycle, contact the
Customer Service Centre to replace the
supply tube.
!The washing machine should be installed
in its final position such that the water fill
hose is not kinked or trapped. The
corrugated drain hose should be inserted
into suitable drain pipe of between 50 cm
and 85 cm height above the floor using
the curved drain hose support. If an under
sink connection is used the drain hose
must be routed above the sink overfill
opening to prevent back siphoning. Care
must be taken to avoid kinking or trapping
the drain hose (fig. 7).

3. PRACTICAL HINTS
When sorting laundry, make sure:
- have eliminated metallic objects such as
hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed
zips, tied loose belts and long robe
ribbons;
- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips
from curtains;
- to have carefully read clothing washing
labels;
- to have removed any persistent stains
using specific detergents.
!When washing rugs, bedcovers or other
heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid
the spinning cycle.
!To wash wool, make sure the item can be
machine washed. Check the fabric label.
A guide environmentally friendly and
economic use of your appliance.
Maximise The Load Size
!Achieve the best use of energy, water,
detergent and time by using the
recommended maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full
load instead of 2 half loads.
Do you need to pre-wash?
!For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and
between 5 to 15% energy consumption
by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to
normally soiled laundry.
Is a hot wash required?
!Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak
dried in stains in water before washing to
reduce the necessity of a hot wash
programme. Save energy by using a low
temperature wash programme.
Before using a drying programme
(WASHER-DRYERS)
!SAVE energy and time by selecting a
high spin speed to reduce the water
content in laundry before using a drying
programme.
Following is a quick guide with tips and
recommendations on detergent use at the
various temperatures. In any case, always
read the instructions on the detergent for
correct use and doses.
Load tips
Helpful suggestions for the user
When washing heavily soiled whites,
we recommend using cotton
programs of 60°C or above and a
normal washing powder (heavy duty)
that contains bleaching agents that at
medium/high temperatures provide
excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C
the type of detergent used needs to be
appropriate for the type of fabric and
level of soiling.
Normal powders are suitable for “white”
or colour fast fabrics with high soiling,
while liquid detergents or “colour
protecting” powders are suitable for
coloured fabrics with light levels of
soiling.
For washing at temperatures below
40°C we recommend the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically
labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.

4. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
To clean the washing machine exterior, use
a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol
and/or solvents. To maintain a good wash
performance we recommend that the soap
drawer and pump filters are regularly
cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a
proprietary cleaner is also recommended.
!We recommend you clean the drawer to
avoid accumulating detergent and
additive residue.
!To do this, extract the drawer using slight
force, clean it with running water and
reinsert it in its housing.
!Ensure the siphon cap is correctly
refitted.
!The washing machine comes with a
special filter able to trap large residue,
such as buttons or coins, which could
clog the drain.
! ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN MODELS:
pull out the corrugated hose, remove the
stopper and drain the water into a
container.
!Ensure all the water has been emptied
from the drum.
!Before unscrewing the filter, we
recommend you place an absorbent cloth
under it to keep the floor dry. A small
amount of water will come out of the filter
as you remove it - this is normal.
!Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the
limit stop.
!Remove and clean the filter; when
finished, replace it turning it clockwise.
The filter handle will be locked when it is
not possible to turn any further and the
handle is horizontal. Smearing a small
amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will
help refitting.
!Repeat the previous steps in reverse
order to reassemble all parts.
!Should the washing machine be stored in
an unheated room for a long period of
time, drain all water from tubes.
!Unplug the washing machine.
!Detach the tube from the drainage
system and clip on the rear of the
machine and lower it, fully draining water
into a bowl.
!Secure the drain tube with the drainage
system and clip on the rear of the
machine when finished.
!Keep the door glass and gasket clean.
