Installation
evelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose
carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow
enough room for ventilation beneath the washing
machine.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply
pipe by screwing it to a
cold water tab using a
3/4 gas threaded
connection (see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until
it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end
of the water inlet hose to
the washing machine,
screwing it onto the
appliance's cold water
inlet, situated on the top
right-hand side on the
rear of the appliance (see
figure).
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
!The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page).
!If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact
a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
!Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water
through. Old taps may seize in the closed position
and thus prevent water reaching the machine.
!Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold,
transferred or moved, make sure the instruction
manual accompanies the washing machine to inform
the new owner as to its operation and features.
!Read these instructions carefully: they contain
vital information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
! This a part of the
polystirene base and
should have stayed
intact when you
removed the base.
! IMPORTANT check
when unpacking your
machine.
1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been
damaged during transport. If this is the case, do
not install it and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the 4
protective screws and
the rubber bush with the
respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance (see also
the installation leaflet).
4. Do not remove external bar.
5. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
6. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the
washing machine needs to be moved to another
location.
!Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Levelling
Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise
if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.
1. Install the washing
machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it
up against walls, furniture
cabinets or other.
2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for
any unevenness by tightening or loosening the
adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of
inclination, measured according to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.

!
_the supply voltage is included within the values
indicated on the Technical details table
(see page 5);
_the socket is compatible with the washing
machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace
the socket or the plug.
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused
plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for
immediate use. Before using the appliance please
read the instructions below.
WARNING - THIS APP IANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FO OWING OPERATIONS SHOU D BE CARRIED
OUT BY A QUA IFIED E ECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used,
and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is
lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement
is obtained.
Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of
the correct colour as indicated by the coloured
marking or the colour that is embossed in words on
the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained
directly from your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable
through partitions, units etc., please ensure that
either:
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-
wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
or:
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable
outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with
BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the
appliance.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be
accidentally inserted into a socket.
Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative
plug:
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
65 - 100 cm
Where it connects to
the waste water pipe
cut end off spigot or
remove the blanking cap
Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain
hose, without bending
it, to a draining duct or
a wall drain situated
between 65 and 100 cm
from the floor;
The drain hose may be
connected to an under-
sink trap. Before
connecting the drain
hose from the machine
ensure that any blanks
or removable ends have
been taken off the
spigot.
If it is place over the
edge of a basin or sink
be sure the free end
of the hose should not
be underwater.
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in
case of absolute need, the extension must have
the same diameter as the original hose and must
not exceed 150 cm in length.
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a
standpipe, that the end does not go down more
than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down
too far, this may cause the machine to self -
syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.
Electric connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains
socket, make sure that:
_the socket is earthed and in compliance with
the applicable law;
_the socket is able to sustain the appliance's
maximum power load indicated in the Technical
details table (see page 5);

"
GB
As the colours of the wires in the lead may not

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will
not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and
may in fact cause build up on the inside of your
appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because
these create too much foam.
Open the detergent
dispenser drawer and
pour in the detergent or
washing additive, as
follows.
! Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*).
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash
cycle (powder or liquid)
For best results liquid detergent should be poured
in the dispenser immediately before the start of
the programme.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Preparing the laundry
 Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites
 Empty all garment pockets and check the
buttons.
 Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to
the weight of the laundry when dry:
Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1.5 kg
Silk: max. 2 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle .
Wool: Hotpoint is the only washer dryer
manufacturer to have been awarded the
prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement
(M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means
that all woollen garments may be washed in the
washer dryer, even those which state hand wash
only on the label. Wash cycle therefore
offers complete peace of mind when washing
woollen garments in the washer dryer (max. load 1.5
kg) and guarantees optimal performance.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibra-
tions and to distribute the load in a uniform man-
ner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed
which is slightly greater than the washing rotation
speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not
balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced
spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced,
the washer dryer performs the distribution pro-
cess instead of spinning. To encourage improved
load distribution and balance, we recommend small
and large garments are mixed in the load.
