DXOC 27/1-AUS

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 appliances to ensure true

assistance in your daily routine.

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, water and energy

efficiency label. Also check that plugs,

curve for drain hose 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

number”, printed on the sticker affixed to

the appliance (porthole area) or in the

document envelope found inside the

product.

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.

2. INSTALLATION

!Unscrew the 2or 4transit

screws (A) on the back and

remove the 2or 4washers (B)

as illustrated in figure 1.

!Close the 2or 4holes using the

plugs included in the instruction

envelope.

!In some models, 1or more

washers will fall inside the machine:

tilt the washing machine forward to

remove them. Close the holes using

the plugs found in the envelope.

Keep the transit screws & parts

for future use in case you move

house.

!Place the polionda sheet on the

bottom as shown in figure 2

(according to the model,

consider version A, Bor C).

WARNING:

keep packaging materials

away from children.

In some models this operation

will not be necessary, because

the corrugated plastic sheet

will be already placed on the

bottom of the appliance.

!Connect the water hose to the water

supply faucet (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 hose to the cold water

faucet and the red one to the hot water

faucet. The machine can be connected to

the cold water faucet only: in this case, some

programs may start a few minutes later.

!AQUASTOP (fig. 5):

a device located on the supply hose that

stops water flow if the tube deteriorates;

in this case, a red mark will appear in the

window “A” and the hose must be

replaced. To unscrew the nut, press the

one-way lock device "B".

!AQUAPROTECT – SUPPLY HOSE WITH

GUARD (fig. 6):

Should water leak from the primary

internal hose "A", the transparent

containment sheath "B" will contain water

to permit the washing cycle to complete.

At the end of the cycle, contact the

Customer Service Centre to replace the

supply hose.

!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 a suitable drain pipe that is at a

height between 50 cm and 85 cm 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).

make sure:

- there are NO foreign objects such as

coins, hair clips, pins, keys etc, etc, from

the wash load. Check all pockets. Serious

damage to the machine can result which

may not be covered by warranty.

- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed

zips, tied loose belts and long robe

ribbons;

- to have removed rollers 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

spinning.

!To wash wool, make sure the item can be

machine washed. Check the fabric label.

A guide to 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 up to 50% energy by using a 60°C

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.

Please note - dilute viscous liquid

detergent with warm water if necessary.

For washing wool or silk, only use

detergents specifically formulated for

these fabrics.

4. MAINTENANCE AND

CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use

a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol

and/or solvents. The washing machine does

not require any special care for ordinary

cleaning: clean drawer compartments and

the filter; some tips on how to move the

machine or on long periods of disuse are

provided below.

!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.

!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.

!Before unscrewing the filter, we

recommend you place an absorbent cloth

under it to keep the floor dry.

!Turn the filter counter-clockwise.

!Remove and clean the filter; when

finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

!Repeat the previous steps in reverse

order to reassemble all parts.

!If the washing machine will not be used

for an extended amount of time and will

be store in a cold area ensure all water is

drained from the hoses to prevent

freezing.

!Unplug the washing machine.

!Detach the hose from the strap and lower

it, fully draining water into a bowl.

!Secure the drain hose with the strap

when finished.
