●repeat steps 1 to 5 to remove the second transit

bolt.

!Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

Your machine will be noisy if the two front feet are not

adjusted so that the machine stands firm and level.

!The inclination of the machine, measured on the

top, must not exceed 2˚.

1. Move your machine into its final location.

- Take care not to trap or kink the hoses.

2. Turn one or both front feet

clockwise until the machine

stands firm and level. The

spring on each foot will stop

them coming loose.

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 machine.

Water connection

Connecting the water inlet hoses.

Remember, please use the new hoses supplied, fitted

to the machine. Old hoses may cause leaks due to

worn out washers or may split due to water pressure.

1. Before making connections to both hot and cold

water supplies, allow the water to run freely from the

supply tap until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the new fill hoses to the water supply taps:

- Red or Grey hose end to Hot

- Blue Hose end to Cold

3. Turn both supply taps on and check for leaks,

tighten if necessary.

!Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hoses.

!The water pressure at the tap must be within the

values indicated in the Technical details table (next

page).

!If the water inlet hoses are not long enough, contact

a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

!Always use new hoses.

!Check the water hoses at least once a year, replace

any that are cracked as worn hoses could split under

water pressure.

!If you have no hot water

supply, a ‘Y’ piece adaptor is

available from your local

Hotpoint authorised Service

Centre or by calling the

Genuine Parts & Accessories

Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS).

Installation

!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 washer dryer 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

1. Unpack the machine.

2. Check whether the washer dryer has been

damaged during transport. If this is the case, do

not install it and contact your retailer.

Remove the transit fixings

IMPORTANT: Follow these instructions to remove the

TWO transit fixings (see Description for location).

Situated one either side of the

rear panel, BOTH transit bolts

MUST be removed before use.

!Failure to do so may cause

damage to your machine.

It is important the transit bolt

and spacer (see pic) come out

intact.

1. Use a crosshead screwdriv-

er to remove the yellow plastic

cover.

2. Unscrew the bolt using a

13mm spanner.

3. STOP when 3 threads can

be seen.

4. Hold, slide and pull to remove.

5. For safety, replace both

yellow plastic covers over the

holes left by removing the two

bolts.

according to

IEC456 - Wash run with a 6kg load

directive - Dry run with 5kg & 1kg loads

This appliance is compliant with the

following European Community

Directives:

- 72/23/EEC & 93/68/EEC

(Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments.

- 89/336/EEC,92/31/EEC & 93/68/EEC

(Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent

amendments.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed and before you

use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without

detergent and no laundry, setting the 95˚C

programme B without a pre-wash cycle. This will take

approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to complete.

Drainage connections

We recommend one of the following:

!Although you may need to move the hooked end

support along the grey drainage hose, DO NOT

remove it.

!Whichever drainage method you use, make sure that

the hooked end support is fixed level to, or above the

‘Plumbing Indicator Line’ (see Description).

Standpipe method:

1. Make sure the standpipe

height is a minimum 500mm from

the floor.

2. Insert the drainage hose

approximately 100mm into the

standpipe.

Under sink method:

1. Cut off the blocked end of the

under sink drainage unit.

2. Fix the hooked end support a

minimum of 800mm from the

floor.

3. Use a hose clip to securely

attach the grey drainage hose

end to the under sink drainage

unit using a hose.

Electrical connections

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 appliances

maximum power load indicated in the Technical

Details table (on the right).

●the supply voltage is included within the values

indicated in the Technical Details table (on the right).

●the socket is compatible with the machines plug.

If this is not the case, replace the socket or the

plug.

!The machine should not be installed in an outdoor

environment, not even when the area is sheltered,

because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed

to rain and thunderstorms.

Option table

Drying

Important information:

!To improve the life expectancy of your machine,

it is recommended that you do not stop or cancel

your programme during the drying cycle.

!It is recommended that you allow the programme to

complete its full cycle, which includes completing the

‘cool tumble’ (see below).

A 20 minute ‘cool tumble’ is included at the end

of drying, allowing fabrics to cool down, minimising

creasing - The load may still be warm when

removed from the machine.

!If your machine is not permanently plumbed in, turn

on the cold water supply and hook the drain hose

over the sink to enable the condensing action to

work.

!The dryer is intended for use only where water is

used for the cleaning process.

!Be careful not to touch the drum at the top as this

area does get hot during drying.

!On no account should liquid fabric conditioner be

added during the drying process.

!Misuse of the dryer may create a fire hazard.

Select HIGH heat by pressing the Drying High

Heat option button. If this option is not selected

the programme will automatically default to LOW

heat.

A spin cycle may be carried out during the

drying programme.

Your machine is fitted with a revolutionary self-

clean filter, which will flush with water during

drying - therefore you may hear water entering the

machine during the drying cycle.

The Drying Times dial DOES NOT rotate - Return

the dial to the ‘Off’ position at the end of each

drying cycle.

Automatic features

Auto half load:

Auto half load saves you time and money when

washing smaller loads.

Water levels are automatically adjusted to cater for the

different loads.
