immediate use. Before using the appliance please  
read the instructions below.  
The drain hose may  
be connected to an  
under-sink trap. Before  
connecting the drain  
hose from the machine  
ensure that any blan-  
ks or removable ends  
have been taken off the  
spigot.  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EAR-  
THED.  
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE  
CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.  
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  
If it is placed over the  
edge of a basin or sink  
be sure the free end of  
the hose should not  
be underwater.  
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.  
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 en-  
sure that either:  
!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 stan-  
dpipe, 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.  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewi-  
reable 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 complian-  
ce with BS 5733) which is accessible without  
moving the appliance.  
Disposing of the plug:  
Electric connection  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,  
you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be  
accidentally inserted into a socket.

Instructions for the fitter  
GB  
Mounting the wooden panel onto the door  
and inserting the machine into cabinets:  
In the case where the machine must be shipped  
for final installation after the wooden panel has  
been mounted, we suggest leaving it in its ori-  
ginal packaging. The packaging was designed  
to make it possible to mount the wooden panel  
onto the machine without removing it completely  
(see figures below).  
The wooden panel that covers the face of  
the machine must not be less than 18 mm in  
thickness and can be hinged on either the right  
or left. For the sake of practicality when using  
the machine, we recommend that the panel be  
hinged on the same side as the door for the  
machine itself - the left.

hand side of the panel, align the drilling template  
to the top left side of the panel using the lines  
traced on the extremities as a reference.  
- To trace the positions of the holes on the right-  
hand side of the panel, align the drilling template  
to the top right side of the panel.  
- Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes  
for the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.

Fastening the plinth guide.  
The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from  
815 mm to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet.  
Should you require the appliance to be placed  
higher than the above height, you need to use the  
following accessories to raise it to up to 870 mm:  
Thetwocrossbars (G);the4feet(H);the4screws(I);the  
4nuts(L)thenperformthefollowingoperations(fig.11):  
remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at  
the front of the appliance, fastening it in place  
using screws I (screwing them in where the ori-  
ginal feet were) then insert the new feet H.  
Repeatthesameoperationatthebackoftheappliance.  
Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance  
from 835 mm to 870 mm.  
If the machine is installed at the end of a set of  
modular cabinets, mount either one or both of  
the guides for the base molding (as shown in fig.  
8). Adjust them for depth based on the position  
of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten  
the base to the guides (fig. 9).  
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8):  
Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide  
Q into the special slot and once it is in the desired  
position, lockitinplaceusinganglePandscrewR.  
Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.  
- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it  
with the cabinets (fig. 6).  
- Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the ma-  
chine to the appropriate height.  
Once you have reached the desired height, lock  
nuts L onto crossbar G.  
- To adjust the position of the wooden panel in  
both the vertical and horizontal directions, use  
the C and D screws, as shown in fig. 7.  
Important: close the lower part of the appliance  
frontbyensuringthattheplinthrestsagainstthefloor.  
To adjust the appliance to a height between 870  
mm and 900 mm, you need to mount strip M,

Care and maintenance  
To access the pre-chamber:  
Cutting off the water and electri-  
city supplies  
GB  
1. unscrew the lid  
by rotating it anti-  
clockwise (see figu-  
re): a little water may  
trickle out. This is  
perfectly normal;  
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.  
• Unplug the washer dryer when cleaning it  
and during all maintenance work.  
Cleaning the washer dryer  
2. clean the inside thoroughly;  
3. screw the lid back on;  
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.  
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.  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer  
Remove the dispenser

by raising it and pul-  
ling it out (see figure).  
Wash it under running  
water; this operation  
should be repeated  
frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of  
your appliance  
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order  
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.  
Cleaning the pump  
The washer dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning  
pump which does not require any maintenan-  
ce. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or  
buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which  
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and  
unplug the appliance.

Precautions and tips  
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot.  
! This washer dryer was designed and constructed in ac-  
cordance with international safety regulations. The following  
information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore  
be read carefully.  
GB  
• 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.  
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during the drying  
cycles.  
General safety  
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.  
This appliance can be used by children aged  
from 8 years and above and persons with re-  
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities  
or lack of experience and knowledge if they  
have been given supervision or instruction  
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way  
and understand the hazards involved. Children  
shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and  
user maintenance shall not be made by children  
without supervision.  
Disposal  
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regu-  
lations so that the packaging may be re-used.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical  
and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electri-  
cal 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.  
- Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.  
- Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking  
oil,acetone,alcohol,petrol,kerosene,spotremovers,turpentine,  
waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with  
an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble  
dryer.  
- Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, water-  
prooftextiles,rubberbackedarticlesandclothesorpillowsfitted  
with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.  
- Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as spe-  
cified by the fabric softener instructions.  
- The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat  
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a tem-  
perature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.  
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the  
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread  
out so that the heat is dissipated.  
Opening the porthole door manually  
In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door  
due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry,  
proceed as follows:  
1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.  
2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than  
the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the  
drain hose, collecting it in a bucket.  
3. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until  
the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull down-  
wards and open the door at the same time.  
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or  
damp hands or feet.  
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging  
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and  
pull.  
• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the  
machine is in operation.  
• 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 circum-  
stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to  
repair it yourself.  
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while  
it is operating.  
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.  
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group 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.

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.

Wash functions  
Reduced Creases  
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be  
modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end  
of the cycle the washer dryer will perform slow rotations of the  
drum; the EASY IRON indicator light will switch on, the START/  
PAUSE indicator light will flash in an orange colour and the text  
“END OF CYCLE” will appear on the display. To end the cycle,  
press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.  
Eco Wash  
The Eco function 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.

By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased  
and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly  
useful for sensitive skin.

Detergents and laundry  
Delicates: use programme

GB  
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of  
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-  
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause  
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to  
environmental pollution.  
To wash Silk garments and Curtains (these should be  
folded and placed inside the bag provided), select cycle  
and then option “Reduced Creases” (in this case it will  
also be possible to enable the “Extra Rinse” option); the  
machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking and  
the “Reduced Creases” indicator light will flash. To drain the  
water so that the laundry may be removed, press the START/  
PAUSE button or the “Reduced Creases” button.  
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these  
create too much foam.  
Open the detergent di-  
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:  
spenser drawer and pour  
in the detergent or washing  
additive, as follows.  
*
1
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 160 min  
2
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.  
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 per-  
formance and consumption of energy and water (M1126)  
!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)  
For best results liquid detergent should be poured in the  
dispenser immediately before the start of the programme.  
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)  
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.  
Preparing the laundry  
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark  
is a Certification trade mark.  
• Divide the laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label  
Ready to Wear: select programme  
(2nd press of the button)  
- 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: see “Table of wash cycles”.  
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 60 minutes.  
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-  
treat cuffs, collars and stains.  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
1 sheet 400-500 g  
1 pillow case 150-200 g  
1 tablecloth 400-500 g  
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
Load balancing system  
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations 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 : this programme 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.

Troubleshooting  
Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), 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.  
• The ‘DELAY TIMER’ has been selected.  
• The ‘CHILD LOCK’ is activated (see ‘The machine just ‘beeps’ when a pro-  
gramme or option is selected’ below).  
The machine does not dry.  
• Check the 2 sections above.  
• The ‘DRY’ button has been pressed to exclude drying.  
The clothes are too hot when the  
drying cycle is finished.  
• A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle. If the  
clothes appear too hot to handle leave the door open to allow to cool further  
before removing from the machine.  
The machine does not fill with water • The water inlet hose is kinked.  
or ‘No Water, Check Supply’ is  
shown in the display window.  
• 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

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 - (see Care & Maintenance).

• The drain hose is kinked.  
• New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if con-  
nected under a sink.  
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.  
The machine does spin.  
• The spin speed is set to “OFF”.  
The machine does not drain or spin -  
‘REDUCED CREASES’ & ‘START/  
PAUSE’ flashing orange and messa-  
ge in display.  
• The ‘REDUCED CREASES’ option is enabled, at the end of the program the  
machine drum will rotate slowly and ‘END OF CYCLE’ will appear in the display.  
To complete the program press either the ‘REDUCED CREASES’ or the ‘EASY  
IRON’ buttons (see Wash Cycles & Functions).  
• The ‘SILK/CURTAINS’ program is selected, at the end of the program it will not drain  
and ‘RINSE HOLD’ will appear in the display. To complete the program press either the  
‘START/PAUSE’ or ‘REDUCED CREASES’ buttons (see Wash Cycles & Functions).  
The wash 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 time ac-  
cordingly (see ‘The machine wont spin properly’ below) - (Most Common Cause!).  
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.  
GB  
• Theloadisinaslightoutofbalanceconditionandmachineisspinning,butatalowerspeed.  
The machine is noisy.  
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.  
The machine wont spin properly.  
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this happens the ma-  
chine 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 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 machine leaks (other than  
dispenser).  
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.  
Themachineislockedandanerrorcode  
appearsonthedisplay (egF-01,F-..).  
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it  
back on again If the problem persists contact the Technical Assistance Service.  
The machine smells.  
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 60 degree wash cycle with deter-  
gent 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 (see Precautions & Tips).  
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.  
The word ‘DEMO ON’ appears in-  
termittently in the display window  
and the drum slowly turns.  
To exit, switch machine off, then press and hold ‘ON/OFF’ and ‘START/PAUSE’  
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Note the machine will need the langua-  
ge resetting.  
The machine just ‘beeps’ when a  
programme or option is selected  
(Child Lock Symbol is lit).  
• Deactivate the Child Lock feature by pressing and holding in the ‘CHILD  
LOCK’ button for 2 seconds.  
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 ma-  
chine 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.
