been
damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the
retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.
Remove the transport bolts
CAUTION
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR INJURY POSSIBLE The machine is secured for
transport with
transport bolts. Transport bolts that are not removed can damage the drum
during operation of the machine, the washer will vibrate, and it will be much
noisier during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not removed before use.

Leveling the washer
Importance of leveling the washer
Your new washer uses high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the wash
cycle. It is important that your washer is level and that all four washer feet
press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the
quietest, most vibration-free use of your washer.
Follow these steps:
1. Install the washer on a level and solid surfaces. Preferably in a corner
of a room.
2. If the floor is uneven (or out of level ) adjust the washer feet as
required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to
help level the washer.
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are
extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer
feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.
4. Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level
side to side and front to rear.
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer
doesn’t “wobble”. There should be no “give” or movement. All four washer feet
should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the
washer being level to prevent vibration.
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in
place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this
without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the
locknut)
6
Installation
Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:
1. After determining which washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift
up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
2. Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to
raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm open end wrench to
tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tighten
against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.

the “MAX” level.
Compartment 3: Additives (Softener. etc.) The fabric softener must not exceed
the “MAX” level.
Observe the dosing recommendations on the detergent pack. Correct dosing of
detergent/additives is important, because: · It optimizes the cleaning result
· It avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent
in your laundry · It saves money by avoiding waste of surplus
detergent · It protects the washing machine by avoiding
calcification of components · It respects the environment by avoiding
unnecessary environmental burden.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60.

Care and maintenance
Your appliance is designed to give you years of service. Observe the following
instructions to maintain and protect your appliance and keep it in top
operating condition.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD To avoid risk of electric shock always
disconnect the washer from the power outlet prior to cleaning.
Never clean the washer with a pressure washer.
Cutting off the water and electricity supplies
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the
hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the appliance’s exterior
WARNING RISK OF EXPLOSION To avoid risk of explosion never clean the washer
with flammable solvents.
Clean the appliance’s exterior surface when required as follows: – Use hot
soapy water or a mild (non-abrasive) cleaning agent. – Rub dry with a soft
towel. – Remove residue immediately. – Do not use high pressure spray.
Cleaning the drum
Metallic debris left in the drum can product rust spots on the drum. Never use
steel wool to try to remove these. Use a chlorine-free cleaning agent and
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Descaling the washer
Provided that you use correct amounts of detergent with you wash loads,
descaling is not necessary. If descaling the washer drum does become
necessary, please follow the descaling product manufacturer’s instructions.
Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to remove white spots on the
washer drum caused by lime or mineral deposits or small amounts of rust caused
by metal objects left in the drum.
NOTICE: Descaling agents contain acids which may attack parts of the washing
machine and may discolor the laundry.
Caring for the door and drum of your appliance
· Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming.
19
Care and maintenance
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should
be replaced immediately: during the wash cycle, water pressure is very strong
and very stong and a cracked hose could easily spilt open. Never use second-
hand hoses.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
If there is a buildup of residual detergent or additives, or if the softener
compartment is not rinsed out well enough, it may be helpful to clean the
dispenser.
Normal water pressure from your home, that remains in the supply hoses after
turning off the taps, will cause a small amount of water to drip out when you
remove the water supply hose from the back of the washer. Be sure to close the
taps completely before removing the supply hoses to minimize the amount of
water.
Clean the stainer at the water tap end of the hose
1. Open the detergent dispenser tray fully. Press down on the drawer catch
(1) and pull the the tray (2) from the washer housing.
2. Remove the liquid detergent cover (3) by grasping it and pulling it
upwards from the detergent dispenser tray.
3. Clean the liquid detergent cover and the detergent dispenser tray by
holding it under runing water. Lightly wipe away any remaining detergent
residue.
4. Attach the liquid detergent cover and slide the detergent dispenser tray
back in place and close the tray securely.
Tip: Do not operate the washer without the detergent dispenser tray in place.
Always keep the tray completely closed.
Cleaning the water inlet strainers
If the washer water supply slows or stops completely, the water inlet strainer
may be blocked. Cleaning is recommended every 6 months in any event to reduce
chances of valve blockage in areas using hard water.
20
1. Remove the hose from the tap. 2. Rinse the strainer under the running
water. Look
at the strainer to see if any visible debris is still present. Rinse again if
necessary to remove the debris. 3. Reconnected the hose to the tap.
Clean the strainer at the washer end of the hose
1. Remove the hose from the inlet on the back of the washer.
2. Using narrow pliers, grasp and pull the strainer from the inlet port.
3. Rinse the strainer under running water. 4. Reconnect the hose to the back
of the washer
and turn on the water tap. Check to see if water flows by starting a warm
water wash cycle. NOTICE: Check for leaks to be sure the rubber washers are
seated at both ends of the water supply hose and the connections are properly
tightened.
Care and maintenance
Cleaning the drain pump
WARNING RISK OF SCALDING Risk of hot water injury to skin ! Allow the water to
cool down prior to actuating the emergency door lock release. You are
responsible for ensuring all safety precautions are followed when draining
water from washer and/or manually opening the washer door.
It may be necessary to clean the washer drain pump if the washer fails to
drain (sound of the water being pumped from the washer cannot be heard when
the washer should be draining and other nearby drains, such as a sink, are
draining properly). The washer pump can become blocked by loose debris (a good
reason to check the drum and remove any visible debris after each load).
Fabrics that give off large amounts of fluff may also cause blockage. To
access the washer drain pump, the service cover must first be removed (see
steps below). With the service cover removed, proceed as follows: 1. If the
washer has not been drained, try to drain it
now. Turn the program selector knob to the Spin/Drain, select Spin Speed to No
Spin and press the Start/Pause button. Wait a few moments to let the cycle
drain the water from the drum. If the pump is totally blocked, the water will
be unable to drain and the cycle will end. 2. Shut off the tap so that no more
water flows in and has to be drained. Switch the appliance off. Unplug the
power plug. 3. Open the service cover.
water into a suitable container (up to 5.3U.S.gallon/20 liters of water may be
drained). Pull the sealing cap from the hose and lay the hose over the side of
the container and allow the water to finish draining from the drum. When
finished, replace the sealing cap into the end of the hose and restore the
hose to its storage location.
5. Turn the pump cover counterclockwise to remove it. A small amount of
residual water may flow out when the cover is removed. Clean the interior of
the pump hosing, removing any debris or foreign objects. Check to be sure the
impeller where at the back of the pump housing can now turn freely. Remove any
lint, debris or detergent residue from the threads of the pump cover and the
pump cover housing. Replace the pump cover by screwing tightly into position.
Handle must be vertically.
6. Close the service cover. Wipe up any spilled water.
4. Use the pull-out drain hose located in the pump access opening to drain
the remaining

· The top of the drain hose is too low It must be fitted at a height between
65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).
· The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to
run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom
of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose..
· The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the
“U” bracket should be fitted 100mm from the end of the drain hose.
· The pump filter is blocked. · The drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).
· New Installation The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if
connected under a sink. · The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.

Troubleshooting
Problem
The machine wont spin properly
The machine leaks from the dispenser
The machine leaks (other than dispenser)
Possible cause / solutions
· Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle If this
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the
load required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds This will
increase the program time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent
damage. Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg down,
quilt, etc). Try the programme again using a different load.
· The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning. · The
water pressure is too high and requires turning down turn down the
tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again. · The machine is tilting
forwards It must be level when in its final position.
· The inlet hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends . · The inlet
hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the
inlet hose is missing the rubber washer. · The drain hose is not fixed in
properly.
The machine smells
· The machine requires a service wash. Run a “Drum Clean” wash cycle with detergent and no laundry.
The machine door cannot be opened.
The water level is too low when the machine is washing
There is too much foam
· The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly
after the program has finished.
· If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlocking
procedure.
· The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door
· The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the
text “for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash” or the like).
· Too much detergent was used less detergent is required in soft water.
General
· Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash cycle (eg: Water level, Temperature, Out of balance loads, Wash time/progress). Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to be anything wrong!
