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.
Plumbing In
Your new washing 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.
5. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.
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.
P1088
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.
Water inlet
The appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the
machine drum.
A minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is required for
safe operation of the appliance.
Do not use the hose from your previous
machine to connect to the water supply.
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.
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose .
2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the
machine.
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.
Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's drainage system using one of the
following methods.

HEC0024
3. Remove the security gasket cup by turning and
pulling it away. Pay attention not to move or remove
the gasket.
1. Into a drainage standpipe.
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
the “U” piece” supplied.

HEC0006QL
P1199
Important!
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle
the hose to the left or right depending on the
position of your water tap.
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 if required, 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.

P1198
Important
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
18mm.
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.
If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do
not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly
into the standpipe.
Levelling
Level the washing 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.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.
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.
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.
In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dishwashers should be
connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will
then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before

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.
●
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.
●
Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.
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.

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 laundry 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
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
To run a maintenance wash:
●
The drum should be empty of laundry.
●
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
• 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.
●
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder (such as Ariel Futur).
Proceed as follows:
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
• Disconnect the appliance.
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
• Open the pump door.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive 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 additive
compartment should be removed.
P1114
• Place a container close to the pump to collect any
spillage.
• Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the
container and remove its cap.
24
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry
up spillage of water when removing the cover.
Tighten up the inlet hose.
P1090
P1115
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
●
Turn off the water tap.
●
Unscrew the inlet hose.
●
Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and
that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor
and let water drain out.
●
Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition
the emergency emptying hose after having put the
cap on again.
●
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose
and place the latter back in its seat.
Important!
Every time you drain the water through the emergency
emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the
main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and
then run the drain programme. This will activate the
ECO valve.
P1117
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
• Screw the pump cover fully in.
• Close the pump door.
• Pull out the plug from the power socket;
• Close the water tap;
Warning
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.
• If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• Open the pump door;
• Place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the
emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its
cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose.
Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;
Cleaning the water inlet filter
• Clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
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.
• Replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after
having plugged it;
• Screw the pump cover again and close the door.

machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and
select the spin programme.
●
The machine makes an unusual
