Connecting the drain hose  
• the supply voltage is included within the values indica-  
GB  
ted on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine.  
Connect the drain hose,  
without bending it, to a  
draining duct or a wall drain  
situated between 65 and  
100 cm from the floor;  
• the socket is compatible with the washer-dryers plug. If  
this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.  
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug  
it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use.  
Before using the appliance please read the instructions  
below.  
65 - 100 cm  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED  
OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.  
The drain hose may  
be connected to an  
under-sink trap. Before  
connecting the drain  
hose from the machine  
ensure that any blanks or  
removable ends have been  
taken off the spigot.  
Replacing the fuse:  
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved  
fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse  
cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not  
be used until a replacement is obtained.  
Where it connects to  
the waste water pipe  
cut end off spigot or  
remove the blanking cap  
Replacement fuse covers:  
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the  
correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the  
colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug.  
Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest  
Service Depot.  
If it is placed over the edge  
of a basin or sink be sure  
the free end of the hose  
should not be underwater.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug  
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through  
partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewireable plug  
bearing the BSI mark of approval.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable  
outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS  
5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance.  
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case of  
absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter  
as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.  
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that  
the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches).  
If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the  
machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.  
Disposing of the plug:  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make  
the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted  
into a socket.

How to run a wash cycle or a  
drying cycle  
Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme  
selector knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an  
automatic drying cycle that allows for saving energy, thanks  
to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle  
duration; the display will visualise the “A2” dryness level.  
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the  
button; the  
GB  
START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green  
colour.  
2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door. Load  
the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum  
load value indicated in the table of programmes and wash  
cycles on the following page.  
Set the desired wash intensity.  
Option  
makes it possible to optimise washing based  
on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle  
intensity.  
Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically  
set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average  
level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool”  
cycle, which is automatically set to “Delicate”).  
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the  
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into  
the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents  
and laundry”.  
4. CLOSE THE DOOR.  
For heavily-soiled garments press

Intensive” level is reached. This level ensures a high-  
performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used  
in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum  
rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn  
stains.  
6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons:  
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment  
Modify the temperature and/or spin speed. The  
machine automatically displays the maximum temperature  
and spin speed values set for the selected cycle, or the  
most recently-used settings if they are compatible with  
the selected cycle. The temperature can be decreased by

pressing the  
is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced  
by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded  
button, until the cold wash “OFF” setting  
(the “OFF” setting). If these buttons are pressed again, the  
maximum values are restored.  
Setting the drying cycle  
The first time the button  
is pressed, the machine will  
automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is  
compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent  
presses will decrease the drying level and then the drying  
time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”).  
Drying may be set as follows:  
A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:  
Iron “A1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing  
afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases,  
making them easier to remove.  
Hanger “A2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be  
dried fully.  
Cupboard “A3”: suitable for laundry which can be put  
back in a cupboard without being ironed.  
Extra “A4”: suitable for garments which need to be dried  
completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.  
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180  
minutes.  
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much  
greater than the maximum stated load, perform the wash  
cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments  
into groups and put some of them back in the drum. At this  
point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only”  
cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.  
A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each  
drying cycle.  
! The options may affect the recommended load value and/  
or the duration of the cycle.  
7. START THE WASH CYCLE. Press the START/PAUSE  
button. The corresponding indicator light will turn green,  
remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the  
DOOR LOCKED  
symbol will be lit). To change a wash  
cycle while it is in progress, pause the washer-dryer using the  
START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will  
flash slowly in an amber colour); then select the desired cycle  
and press the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door  
while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary  
according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options  
selected.  
For all Test Institutes:  
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 60°C.  
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 40°C.  
3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C.  
Wash options  
Delay Timer  
Eco  
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the  
corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay  
period has been reached. When this option is enabled, the  
corresponding indicator light will remain lit. To remove the  
delayed start setting, press the button until the text “OFF”  
appears on the display.  
The Eco option saves energy by not heating the water  
used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the  
environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified  
wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash  
results in the same average time of a standard cycle.  
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of  
a liquid detergent

! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7,  
8, 9, 11, 13, 14,  
,
.
By selecting the drying function as well, an automatic  
drying cycle automatically activates at the end of the wash  
cycle – it too allows for saving energy, thanks to the optimal  
combination of air temperature and cycle duration.  
! It can be activated with programmes 4 and 5.

Detergents and laundry  
Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The  
Detergent dispenser drawer  
GB  
programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white  
clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.  
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automatically  
activates at the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-  
air drying, with the added advantages of preserving garments  
from yellowing due to sunlight exposure and preventing loss  
of whiteness caused by the possible presence of dust in the  
air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a level basis.  
Anti Allergy: use programme 7 to remove major allergens  
such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.  
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint machine has  
been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company  
for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable  
provided that the garments are washed according to the  
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the  
manufacturer of this washing machine. Hotpoint is the  
first washing machine brand to be approved by The  
Woolmark Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its  
washing performance and consumption of energy and  
water. (M1127)  
Successful washing results also depend on the correct  
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not  
necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in  
fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and  
contribute to environmental pollution.  
! Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too  
much foam.  
Open the detergent

B
dispenser drawer and pour  
in the detergent or washing  
additive, as follows.  
!Do not pour detergent into  
the middle compartment (*).  
Detergent should only be

poured into the compartment 1.  
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle  
(powder or liquid)  
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the  
removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper  
dosage.  
Delicates: use programme 9 to wash very delicate  
garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and  
sequins.  
If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.  
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)  
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.  
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 9 and  
set the “Delicate” level from option  
.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before  
washing and placing small items into the special bag  
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate  
garments for best results.  
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,  
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle  
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and  
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.  
The recommended durations are:  
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min  
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min  
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min  
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric  
composition.  
Ready to Wear: select programme 11 for washing and  
drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and Synthetic) in a  
short time. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a  
laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes.  
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-  
treat cuffs, collars and stains.  
Preparing the laundry  
• Divide the laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label  
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.  
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.  
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the  
weight of the laundry when dry:  
Durable fabrics: max. 9 kg  
Synthetic fabrics: max. 4 kg  
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg  
Wool: max. 2 kg  
Silk: max. 2 kg  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
1 sheet 400-500 g  
1 pillow case 150-200 g  
1 tablecloth 400-500 g  
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
Load balancing system  
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations  
before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform  
manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which  
is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If,  
after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly,  
the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is  
excessively unbalanced, the washer-dryer performs the  
distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage  
improved load distribution and balance, we recommend  
small and large garments are mixed in the load.  
Special wash cycles  
Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled  
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class  
that is higher than the standard class (A class).  
When running the programme, do not mix garments of  
different colours. We recommend the use of powder  
detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is  
recommended if there are obstinate stains.

Precautions and tips  
! This washer-dryer was designed and constructed in  
accordance with international safety regulations. The  
following information is provided for safety reasons and  
must therefore be read carefully.  
Disposal  
GB  
Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local  
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.  
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical  
and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household  
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the  
normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances  
must be collected separately in order to optimise the  
recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and  
reduce the impact on human health and the environment.  
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product  
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of  
the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers  
should contact their local authority or retailer for information  
concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.  
General safety  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons  
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory  
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and  
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or  
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person  
responsible for their safety.  
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do  
not play with the appliance.  
– Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.  
– Items that have been soiled with substances such  
as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,  
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers

the lower front part of the  
washer-dryer (see figure).  
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach  
extremely high temperatures.  
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety  
lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.  
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any  
circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an  
attempt to repair it yourself.  
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while  
it is operating.  
• If it must be moved, proceed with the help of two or  
three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never  
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.  
• Before loading laundry into the washer dryer, make sure  
the drum is empty.  
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot.  
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have  
been washed with flammable solvents (e.g.  
trichlorethylene).  
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or  
similar elastomers.  
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure,  
until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull  
downwards and open the door at the same time.  
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely  
in place before you push it onto the appliance.  
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during  
the drying cycles.

Care and maintenance  
Cutting off the water and electricity  
supplies  
Caring for the door and drum of your  
appliance  
GB  
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit  
wear on the hydraulic system inside the washer-dryer and  
help to prevent leaks.  
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent  
unpleasant odours from forming.  
Cleaning the pump  
• Unplug the washer-dryer when cleaning it and during all  
maintenance work.  
The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which  
does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items  
(such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber  
which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.  
Cleaning the washer-dryer  
• The outer parts and rubber components of the  
appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in  
lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.  
• The washer-dryer has a “Auto Clean” programme for its  
internal parts that must be run with no load in the drum.  
To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the  
detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the quantity specified  
for lightly-soiled garments) or special additives to clean  
the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning  
programme every 40 wash cycles.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the  
appliance.  
To access the pre-chamber:  
1. using a screwdriver,  
remove the cover panel on  
the lower front part of the  
washer-dryer (see figure);  
To start the programme press button A for 5 seconds (see  
figure).  
The programme will start automatically and will run for  
about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/  
PAUSE button.  
A
2. unscrew the lid by  
rotating it anti-clockwise  
(see figure): a little water  
may trickle out. This is  
perfectly normal;  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer  
3. clean the inside thoroughly;  
Remove the dispenser by  
raising it and pulling it out  
(see figure).  
4. screw the lid back on;  
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely  
in place before you push it onto the appliance.  
1
Wash it under running  
water; this operation should  
be repeated frequently.  
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  
cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose  
could easily split open.  
2
! Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting  
Your washer-dryer could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”), make  
sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.  
GB  
Problem:  
The machine does not switch on.  
Possible causes / Solutions:  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.  
• There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.  
The wash cycle does not start.  
• The door is not closed properly.  
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• A delayed start has been set.  
The machine does not fill with  
water or ‘H20’ flashes in the  
display.  
• The water inlet hose is kinked.  
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply.  
• The water pressure is too low.  
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• There is no water supply to the house.  
• The inlet valve filter is blocked.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
The machine continuously fills with • The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65  
water and continually drains away  
or Water left in the drum  
or Stuck on wash.  
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 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.  
The machine does not drain or spin • The Pump filter is blocked.  
- (error lights flashing).  
• 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.  
The machine does spin.  
• The Spin Speed is set to “OFF”.  
The programme takes too long.  
• Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water  
temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the  
programme times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’ below).  
The Display sticks at one ‘time to  
end’ for more than 1 Minute or the  
Display changes the estimated ‘Time  
to End’ during the programme.  
• The display time is for guidance only - it is not a precise time to finish and  
may vary.  
The machine vibrates a lot during  
the spin cycle.  
• The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.  
• New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the  
Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.  
• The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.  
• The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at  
a lower speed.  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.  
• There has been a power failure.  
The washer-dryer does not dry.  
• The appliance door is not shut properly.  
• A DELAY TIMER has been set.  
• DRYING is in the OFF position.  
13  
 
The machine is noisy.  
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.  
GB  
The machine wont spin properly.  
• 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 programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.  
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt,  
etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.  
The machine leaks from the  
dispenser.  
• 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 machine leaks (other than  
dispenser).  
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.  
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill  
hose is missing the rubber washer.  
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.  
The option lights and the START/  
PAUSE indicator light are flash  
rapidly and an error code appears  
on the display (eg F-01, F-..).  
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then  
switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical Assistance  
Centre.  
The machine smells.  
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with  
detergent and no laundry.  
The machine door cannot be  
opened.  
• 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.  
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.  
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.  
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.  
The water level is too low when  
the machine is washing.  
There is too much foam.  
• 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.  
After completing the programme,  
or before starting a programme,  
the machine has turned itself off  
(no lights).  
To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an  
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate  
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.  
General.  
Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash  
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress).  
Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to  
be anything wrong!  
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed above.  
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.  
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine  
washable.
