Hoover UMS02 User manual

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, 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

you need to contact the Customer Service

Centre.

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.

inside the base of the machine.

!Cover the open transportation screw

holes with the 2or 4plastic caps

included in the instruction bag.

!Place the corrugated plastic sheet,

found on top of the appliance during

the unpacking process, into the base

of the appliance 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 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):

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

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.
