WARNING: The appliance must be earthed.  
Fuses  
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A) fuse. If  
you need to replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A)  
and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse lift the holder to  
vertical position and lift the fuse out. To replace the fuse, insert the  
fuse and push fuse holder down into the locked position. Correct  
replacement is identified by colour coding or the marking on base of  
plug.  
WARNING: Do not use the plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked  
position and the top cover firmly replaced.

We strongly advise that fitting a new lead is carried out by a qualified  
electrician.  
Seek professional advice if you need to use an extension lead.  
Changing the Plug  
If you need to change your plug, if it does not fit your socket: isolate  
the machine from the mains supply. Cut off the supplied plug and  
safely dispose of the discarded plug. DO NOT plug into any other  
socket.  
NOTE: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead  
may not match the colour of the markings which show the different  
terminals in the plug.You must wire it as shown below:  
Green and yellow (Earth)  
wire to terminal marked ‘E,  
symbol , or coloured  
green and yellow.  
13A ASTA approved fuse to

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.  
Unbalanced load  
Your machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load. This will minimise excessive vibration and  
prolong the life of the machine. Before each spin the machine ‘senses’ the load within the drum and if the machine considers the  
load to be unbalanced, it will not automatically spin. Instead the machine will try to redistribute the load to achieve balance by  
tumbling backwards and forwards. If it is unable to balance the load after the sixth attempt the machine will abort the spin  
process.  
If this safety feature is encountered you can spin the load after first opening the door, redistributing the load and selecting a fast or  
slow, spin only programme. In the case of small loads or single items you may try adding some extra items of a comparable size to  
help balance the load.

NOT PUMP OUT WATER.  
Remember, you will be charged for a  
service call if a problem with your  
machine is caused by incorrect  
installation or misuse.  
Check for low temperature and  
low pressure of the hot and cold  
water supply.  
Wash non-colourfast items or  
really dirty laundry separately as  
they may affect other items.  
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, non-removal of transit bolts or packaging, leaks from household pipework, loose or blocked fill and drain hoses.  
Washing items that DO NOT have a wash label or washing items that are not intended as machine washable and NOT emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage components within the machine.
