For your safety, read the following text
carefully.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded
3-pin mains plug for your safety and
convenience.
A 13-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced,
ensure that the replacement fuse has
a rating of 13 amperes and that it is
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark
or the BSI
mark
on the body of the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse
cover, ensure that it is refitted when the
fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover, do not use the
plug until a replacement fuse cover is
purchased at your local dealer.
WARNING
If the fitted moulded plug is
unsuitable for the mains socket in
your home then the fuse should be
removed and the plug cut off and
disposed of safely.
There is a danger of severe
electrical shock if the cut off plug is
inserted into any 13-ampere socket.
How to replace the fuse
The location of the fuse differs depending
on the type of AC mains plug (Figures A
and B).
Confirm the AC mains plug is fitted and
follow the instructions below. Illustrations
may differ from the actual AC mains plug.
Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver
and replace the fuse and close or attach
the fuse cover.

Before Washing
Checking before use
For the appliance’s initial operation or
after a prolonged period of non-operation,
perform the following procedures:
1. Secure the water supply hose.
2. Turn on the tap.
3. Connect the power supply.
4. Make sure that the water drain hose
is positioned towards a drain.
For more details, see page 41.
Before initial use
The default setting is the 40 ºC Cotton
programme. Before using the appliance
for the first time, run the programme
WITHOUT any detergent or clothing to
rinse out residue or moisture.
Note
There may be residual water in the
appliance due to the factory inspection
prior to shipment. This is not a
malfunction.
Preparing the laundry
Sorting the laundry
- Read clothing care labels to sort the
laundry into different loads.
- Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric
and how soiled it is. Doing so will help
you choose the correct programme and
temperature for each wash.
- Clothes that are not colour fast should
be washed separately. Wash denim
separately.
- You should put bras with metal wires,
tights, lace clothing and small items into
a laundry net to prevent them or the
appliance from being damaged.
Treating stains
Apply stain remover to stained portions.
For dirt and solid stains, wash lightly by
hand first.
Checking clothing
- Check that the pockets on clothing
do not contain any objects that may
damage the clothes or the appliance.
- Tie up any loose strings on the clothing
and close zippers. Turn clothing with
raised fabrics and zippers inside out.
Otherwise, the clothes may be
damaged.
- Remove any hair, animal fur, sand and
other materials with a brush before
washing.
Note
Do not wash clothes heavily stained
with large quantities of vegetable oil or
cosmetic oil (aroma oil, etc.). Failure
to observe this may result in the door
seal swelling, causing the water to
overflow and leading to malfunctions.

Adding Detergent and Other Chemicals
Detergent compartment
The following detergents and additives may
be added to this compartment:
- Detergent
- Water softening agent
- Stain remover
- Tub cleaning detergent or bleach
If you use multiple chemicals in this
compartment for washing, add them in the
following order:
1. Detergent
2. Water softening agent
3. Stain remover
Detergent
Use only detergents that are recommended
for fully-automated washing machines.
Please use low suds detergents.
When you use a detergent specifically for
slightly lower temperature than 20 °C (as
low as 15 °C), the 20 °C Wash programme
is recommended.
CAUTION
If the instructions on the package
indicate that detergent should be
placed in the drum, do NOT put it
into the detergent drawer.
These detergents may not flow well
and remain in the detergent drawer.
Do not overfill with detergent. Failure
to observe this may result in the
detergent blocking the water supply,
causing the water to overflow from
the front of the detergent drawer and
leading to malfunctions.
1. Liquid detergent
Note
Do NOT use liquid detergent with the
Prewash function. It may flow away
during the prewash.
For the Wool programme, use mild liquid
detergent.
Pull out the detergent drawer and add detergent or softener to the correct
compartment. Check the packages for the recommended amounts.
CAUTION
Do NOT use the appliance when the detergent drawer is removed.
This may result in a water leak.

Adding Detergent and Other Chemicals
2. Powdered detergent
Detergent reaches the drum only when
water flushes through the detergent
drawer. Thus, if you have forgotten to add
detergent, run the Drain only function using
the Mode button.
Then, add detergent and start washing
again.
To prevent powdered detergent from
remaining in the drawer, perform the
following:
- Dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth.
- Make sure that the detergent is not
lumpy when you add it because this may
cause a blockage over time.
Amount of Detergent
The amount of detergent you should use
depends on the following factors:
- How soiled the laundry is
- Amount of the laundry
- Water hardness
The amount of foam varies according to
the amount and type of detergent, how
soiled the laundry is, and the hardness and
temperature of the water.
Water softening agent
If you live in a hard water area (total
hardness of 1.3 mmol/L or higher), we
recommend using a water softening agent.
For more details on water hardness,
contact your local water authority.
Use of a water softening agent can help
reduce the amount of detergent required
for each wash and help prevent the
formation of limescale deposits, which may
damage the appliance.
Softener compartment
The following additives may be added to
this compartment:
- Fabric softener
- Laundry starch
Fabric Softener
To prevent static, add softener before you
start washing. It will be automatically added
in the final rinse cycle.
Dilute concentrated softeners before you
add them. Add up to only 130 ml to the
compartment to avoid overflowing.
Rinse out the remaining softener with
a splash of water or a damp cloth after
washing. If it sticks to the compartment,
pull out the drawer and clean it out. (See
page 28.)
Laundry starch
Simply add laundry starch to the softener
compartment. It will be automatically
added to the clothing in the final rinsing
process. Make sure that you do not fill the
compartment over the MAX level.
If it is hard to pour, dilute the starch slightly
with water before adding it.
Note
After using starch, clean the detergent
drawer, particularly the softener cover
(see page 28). Then, run the Rapid 15
programme WITHOUT detergent to
remove any excess starch in the drum.
Prewashing compartment
Detergent for prewashing
Whenever you use programmes with the
Prewash function, always put detergent for
the prewash in this compartment.

programmes
The drum spins gently in these
programmes.
For details, see pages 16-17.
Delicate laundry loads
- Wool programme: 2 kg or less
- Delicates programme:
5 kg or less (140VS4),
4 kg or less (148VS4 and 168VS4)
Approximate weights
- Wool sweater: 400 g
- Silk blouse: 200 g
- Trousers: 400 g
Tips for washing delicates
Putting laundry in the drum
Pile items one on top of each other.
Detergents
- For wool items, use a mild liquid
detergent. Other detergents may
damage the clothes.
- With Wool and Delicates programmes,
you may need to use the Extra Rinse
function to remove excess detergent
from the laundry. (See page 26.)
Hanging the laundry
- Hang out white or light-coloured wool
and nylon items away from direct heat or
sunlight.
- After washing, lay out wool and nylon
clothes, and return them to their normal
shape before hanging in the shade. This
will help to reduce the ironing time.
- Hang wool items with creases smoothed
out, or spread them out to dry.
- Use hangers for shirts, blouses and
trousers.
You may wrap a towel around the
hanger to approximate the clothing’s
shoulder width so that it will retain its
shape as it dries.
If clothing shrinks in the wash
Spread the item out to its original size on
an ironing board. Use dress pins to hold
the size and shape. Then, use an iron to
steam it and leave it to dry.

Softener cover
Cleaning the outside of the
appliance
Clean the outside of the appliance with a
soft cloth and mild detergent, for example,
kitchen detergent, and soapy water.
WARNING
- Do NOT splash water over the
appliance.
- Do NOT use cream cleansers,
thinners, or products containing
alcohol or paraffin oil.
Cleaning the drum
If you keep using cold water in the
appliance, bacteria may build up inside
the drum and emit an odour. You can
avoid this by running the 90 °C Cotton
programme once a month. (When using a
scale remover, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.)
CAUTION
Viruses and bacteria are not killed
in water temperature of 40 °C.
Pathogens can spread via the
mingling of clothes and thus
transmit diseases.
Pathogens die at the temperature of at
least 60 °C.
Note
Do NOT put laundry or laundry
detergent into the appliance during
cleaning.
If you use tub cleaning detergent or bleach,
put it into the detergent drawer before
starting the wash. The appropriate amount
to be used is approximately 30 ml. (See
pages 14-15.)
Cleaning the detergent
drawer
Detergent residue soon builds up if the
detergent drawer is not cleaned regularly.
Detergent buildup may develop mould.
1. Pull out the detergent drawer.
2. Remove the detergent drawer by
simultaneously lifting and pulling it.
3. Put your finger on the tab near the
front of the softener cover and pull
it up to remove it from the detergent
drawer.
4. Wash out the detergent residue with
water.
Use a cloth to wipe the water from the
appliance.

unit.
Cleaning the door seal and
window
After each wash, perform the following:
- Remove any objects from the door seal.
- Wipe the window and seal to remove lint
and stains.
Cleaning the drain filter
We recommend cleaning the drain filter
once a month. The filter will have lint
buildup, which may interrupt drainage
water flow.
1. Switch off and unplug the appliance.
2. Open and remove the drain filter
cover. Then, place a container
underneath it to collect the drainage.
3. Pull out the pump hose and remove
the cap to drain the water.
4. After all the water has drained away,
carefully loosen the drain filter. More
water may drain out.
This is normal.
5. Turn the drain filter anticlockwise to
unscrew it. Then, remove it.
6. Remove any lint and debris.
7. Replace the drain filter.
8. Replace the cap and pump hose to
the original position.

Cleaning the water supply
filter
Clean the filter if water is not supplied
properly.
1. Turn off the tap.
2. Switch on the appliance.
3. Select the Cotton programme, and
then press the Start button.
4. After 1 minute, switch off the
appliance. Water has drained out of
the water supply hose.
5. Disconnect the water supply hose
from the appliance.
6. Clean the filter, which is on the rear
of the appliance.
Use a small brush, for example, a
toothbrush.
7. If the unit is supplied with the hose
fitted with a water supply valve, turn
off the tap supplying water to the
appliance, disconnect the hose from
the tap and then clean the filter on
the hose in the same way.
8. Reconnect the water supply hose.
Tighten the plastic joint firmly.
9. Turn on the tap and then check for
leaks.
Preventing a frozen
water supply hose
If the appliance is delivered in freezing
weather conditions, after setting up, leave
it at room temperature for 24 hours before
using. This will ensure that the water supply
hose does not become clogged with ice.
If your water supply hose freezes, perform
the following procedures:
1. Wrap warm towels around the joints
of the water supply hose.
2. Add 2 to 3 litres of warm water to the
drum.
3. Start washing with the Drain only
function, using the Mode button.

Fault Checklist
Problem Cause
Washing machine
Buttons do not work. - The programme, temperature and process settings cannot
be changed while washing is in progress (the rinse and
spin settings can be changed).
- Child safety lock may be activated. (See page 27.)
Door does not open. - Door lock may be activated. (See page 13.)
- Child safety lock may be activated. (See page 27.)
- The water temperature or level may be too high.
Unusual odour - Rubber parts may give off a smell when you start using
the appliance, but the smell will go away over time.
You can wash the drum by running the 90 °C programme.
(See page 28.)
Wash
No water going into
the appliance.
- The water tap may be turned off.
- The water supply hose may be frozen. (See page 30.)
- The water supply may be disrupted.
- The water supply filter may be clogged. (See page 30.)
There is only a small
amount of water.
- If you have paused the washing and then restart it, the
appliance may drain out some water.
Do NOT pour water in through the door.
Water builds up
during the wash
process.
- This is normal; water is automatically supplied if the
amount of water has decreased. For heavy loads, the
water may fill up repeatedly.
Water drains out
during the wash
process.
- This is normal; the water frequently drains out and builds
up in order to wash away excess foam. This feature is
called foam detection.

32 - Troubleshooting
Fault Checklist
Problem Cause
Rinse/Spin
No water flows into
the appliance during
the rinse process.
- Before rinsing, the appliance spins to drain out remaining
water. The water will fill up after that.
Rinsing begins
before the spin
process finishes.
- The appliance may have detected an unbalanced load,
which is caused by the laundry shifting to one side of
the drum, so rinsing started automatically to correct the
imbalance.
- After washing, excess foam may remain, so the water is
drained out and refilled to wash it away. This feature is
called foam detection.
During spin-dry,
the drum stops and
rotates several times.
- This is normal; the appliance has detected an unbalanced
load and is trying to correct it.
Foam and water
remain in the door or
door seal.
- Although some foam and water may remain depending
upon the state of the laundry and the amount of detergent
used, rinse performance is unaffected.
The spin process
repeatedly starts and
stops.
- This is normal; intermittent spinning of the tub helps the
spin process to operate quietly.
- The laundry may be too light. If so, add one or two bath
towels.
Time
The displayed
remaining time
changes.
- The remaining time is estimated and corrected continually.
Thus, the time displayed may change.
- The remaining time increases if extra rinsing and spinning
are required to correct an unbalanced load, which is
caused by the laundry shifting to one side of the drum.

- You may not be using enough detergent.
- You may be using a reduced-foam type of detergent.
- Heavily soiled laundry and larger loads of laundry may
reduce the amount of foam.
There is a lot of foam. - The amount of foam varies, depending on the
temperature, level and softness of the water.
- You may have used too much detergent.
- The type of detergent you are using may cause excess
foam.

detergent drawer. (See page 15.)
- You may have spilt the liquid when closing the detergent
drawer too strongly.
After the wash has
finished, powdered
detergent residue
remains.
- You may have put powdered detergent directly into the
drum; you must put it in the detergent drawer.
