appliance to prevent  
damage when in transit.  
Important: Use the cap supplied to close the 3 holes which housed the plug, situated in the  
right hand part of the lower back of the appliance.  
ii. Choose a Location...  
The choice of location for your appliance will influence its performance.  
Position where possible on a solid floor. Vibration may occur with a wooden floor.  
Take care with vinyl floor coverings. The weight of the appliance may cause indentations in some  
vinyl floor coverings.  
You should not install your appliance on a carpeted floor, but if this is unavoidable, ensure that air  
can circulate around its base.  
If locating next to another appliance or an item of furniture, leave space between them to allow air  
to circulate.  
For your safety and to comply with IEE regulations, you should not install your appliance in a bath  
or shower room. Seek professional advice if you wish to do so.  
Ensure sufficient space is allowed for the appliance.  
Ensure the electrical socket and water taps are easily accessible and that the water supply can be  
isolated if necessary.  
Risk of freezing: Do not position the appliance in rooms exposed to frost.  
Frozen pipes may burst under pressure.

access for turning on and off.  
For your machine to operate correctly it requires water pressures in the range of 6-150 psi  
(100 - 1000KPa). Most water supplies will be in this range.  
Connect the hoses to the water supply pipes at the rear of the appliance  
and onto the water supply taps (Red end fitting to the hot water supply  
and adjacent to ‘H’ on the rear of the appliance and White end fitting to  
the cold water supply and adjacent to ‘C’ on the rear of the appliance).  
Remember to insert a sealing washer (A) to ensure each connection is  
watertight.  
Fit securely and turn on the water supply to check for leaks.  
If there is a leak, turn off the water supply, remove the connector  
and check that the sealing washer is in place. Refit the connector  
and tighten it. Turn on the water supply.  
Note: Do not over tighten the water supply pipe connection. Hand  
tight should be sufficient.  
We recommend you use the new hoses provided with your appliance to ensure correct  
connections and prevent leaks.  
If the fill hoses are too short:  
Longer fill hoses are available from our Genuine Parts and  
Accessories Mail Order Hotline  
UK on 08709 077 077  
(or in the Republic of Ireland on (01) 842 6836).  
Remove the existing fill hoses from the inlet valves on the  
back of the machine and fit the new longer fill hoses as shown  
with the angled ends of the hoses connected to the machine.  
If you have no hot water supply or your hot water pressure is low:  
A cold fill adaptor and fitting instructions are available from  
your local Creda authorised Service Centre or by calling the  
Genuine Parts and Accessories Mail Order Hotline  
UK on 08709 077 077  
Remember you may be  
charged for a service  
call if a problem with  
your appliance is  
caused by incorrect  
installation or misuse.

iv. Connect to a Drainage System...  
Connect up the drain hose, after fitting the hooked end support supplied in the machine.  
Ensure the drainage hose is not obstructed, trapped or kinked.  
Any extension of the drainage pipe must be no longer than 1 metre, it must have the same  
inner diameter and must have no constrictions of any nature.  
Do not position standpipe near an electrical outlet.  
We recommend one of the following drainage methods:-  
Standpipe  
Note: Ensure the standpipe has a minimum diameter of 38mm.  
The standpipe should be installed away from the  
rear of the appliance.  
1. Ensure hooked end of drain hose is positioned between 100  
and 60cm above the bottom of the machine.  
2. Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of the  
appliance and place approximately 100mm into the standpipe or  
sink trap spigot.  
Ensure the drain hose is firmly in position, to prevent it coming  
away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.  
Sink Waste System  
Note: Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a minimum diameter of 32 mm.  
1. Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the  
rear of the appliance.  
2. Reposition ‘hooked end’ support as required along the GREY  
drainage hose.  
3. If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit cut out the  
membrane, bung or blanking plug.  
4. Attach the GREY drainage hose to the under sink waste  
disposal unit securely, using a suitable hose clip.  
5. Raise the hose to a minimum height of between  
90 and 65cm to avoid syphoning.

v. Fitting the Door Panel...  
The packaging is designed to  
make it possible to mount the  
wooden panel onto the appliance  
without removing it completely.  
The wooden panel that  
covers the face of the machine  
must not be less than 18mm  
in thickness and can be  
hinged on either side.  
For practical reasons, it is  
advisable to maintain the  
same opening direction as the  
appliance door itself (hinges  
applied to the left hand side).  
DOOR MOUNTING ACCESSORIES:  
6 x type A self threading screws 1=13mm  
2 x type B metric countersunk screws 1=25mm, for fastening  
the magnet plate to the cabinet  
4 x type C metric screws 1=15mm, for mounting the hinge  
supports to the cabinet  
4 x type D metric screws 1=7mm, for mounting the hinges on  
the supports  
8
 
Fitting the Door Panel and Plinth...  
Mounting parts onto the face of the appliance:  
-
Mount the hinge supports onto the face of the machine, positioning the hole indicated by  
the arrow, in Fig.1, towards the inside of the face and using the type C screws.  
-
-
Mount the magnetic plate on the opposite side, at the top, using the two type B screws.  
Place the spacer illustrated in Fig 4/B between the machine front and the magnet receiver.  
Using the drilling template:-  
Proceed as follows when applying the panel to the appliance:  
-
To trace the positions of the holes on 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.  
Mounting the parts onto the wooden door panel:-  
-
Insert the hinges into the holes (NB. the movable part of the hinge must be positioned  
facing away from the panel) and fasten them with the 4 type A screws.  
-
Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side of the hinges and fasten it with  
the 2 type B screws.  
-
-
Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.  
The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.  
Mounting the panel onto the machine:-  
-
Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in Fig.2) into the hole for the hinge and  
push the panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type D  
screws.  
Fastening the plinth guide:-  
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 moulding (as shown, Fig.6).  
Adjust them for depth, based on the position of the base moulding and if necessary fasten the  
base to the guides (Fig.7).  
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (Fig.6).  
-
Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into the special slot and once it is in the  
desired position, lock it in place using angle P and screw R.  
Fig.6

vi. Fitting your appliance into your  
kitchen...  
Inserting the machine into the cabinet:-  
-
-
-
Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the cabinets (Fig.8).  
Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the appropriate height.  
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.9.  
Important: Close the lower part of the appliance front by ensuring that the plinth rests against the  
floor.  
Fig. 8  
Fig. 9  
Move the appliance into position, care must be taken that the Water Supply pipes and the  
Drainage hose are not kinked or trapped.  
Direct the mains cable towards the electrical socket to be used but DO NOT plug in at this  
stage.  
There must be at least 2mm clearance at the sides and top of the appliance. The back of  
the appliance must also remain some distance away from the back wall. If the recessing cavity  
is higher than 820mm, the opening between the floor and sides of the appliance (when  
installed at the end of a line of furniture) must be completely closed in.  
Remember you may be  
charged for a service  
call if a problem with  
your appliance is  
caused by incorrect  
installation or misuse.  
10  
 
vii. Levelling...  
Adjust the feet until all four feet are in firm contact with the floor ensuring the  
appliance stands level in every direction. You can check this using a spirit level.  
We recommend you level the appliance to prevent vibration being transmitted to  
the surrounding furniture, check that the sides and the top of the appliance are  
unable to touch the furniture.  
Accessories provided for height adjustment  
The following can be found inside the polystyrene lid (Fig.10):  
2 x crossbars (G)  
1 x strip (M)  
The following can be found inside the appliance drum:  
4 x adjustable feet (H)  
4 x screws (I)  
4 x screws (R)  
4 x nuts (L)  
2 x plinth guides (Q)  
Adjusting the appliance height  
The height can be adjusted (from 815mm to 835mm), by turning the 4 feet.  
Should you require the appliance be placed higher than the above height you  
need the following accessories to raise it up to 870mm:  
- the 2 x crossbars (G)  
- the 4 x adjustable feet (H)  
- the 4 x screws (I)  
- the 4 x nuts (L)  
Then carry out the following steps (Fig.11):  
Remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of the machine, fasten  
it in place using screws I (screwing them in where the original feet were) then  
insert the new feet H.  
Repeat at the back of the appliance.  
Now adjust the feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835mm to 870mm.  
Once you have reached the desired height lock the nuts L onto the crossbar G.  
To adjust the appliance to a height between 870mm and 900mm you need to  
mount strip M, adjusting feet H to the required height.  
Insert strip M as follows: Loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the  
top cover of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in Fig.12, then fasten screws  
N.

SPECIAL PROGRAMMES: ‘AWash Performance - This machine has a special programme which allows you to obtain optimum results even at low temperatures. By setting  
programme 4 at a temperature of 40˚C, you will get the same results as you would normally obtain at 60˚C, thanks to the machines action and the length of the wash cycle.

NB. Choose ‘low suds’ automatic powder,  
liquid or tablets, designed specifically for  
automatic washing machines / washer  
dryers. DO NOT use handwash detergent  
as excessive suds occur.  
The dispenser drawer is opened by rotating outwards.  
Adding Detergent  
(1) Pre-wash tray (powder) and (2) Main wash detergent tray (powder or liquid)  
To obtain the desired wash results and optimum detergent consumption, determine the  
amount of detergent in relation to the water hardness in your area, the type and quantity of  
laundry and its degree of soiling. Detergent packages indicate the amount, according to four  
levels of hardness and for normal soiled loads from 4 - 5 kg. Contact your local water board for  
information concerning the degree of water hardness in your area.  
Follow all detergent manufacturers dosage recommendations.  
For normal soiling, choose a programme without pre-washing, add detergent to compartment  
2. For heavily soiled loads choose a programme with pre-washing, add detergent to  
compartments 1 and 2.

2
If there is no indication of recommended dosage for a delicate wash, use /  
2
to /3 of the  
recommended dosage indicated for wash resistant cotton fabrics.  
For a wool programme we recommend that you only use neutral detergents for wool and  
follow the detergent manufacturers recommended dosage.  
(3) Fabric conditioner  
The conditioner is designed to make your clothes soft and pleasant smelling. Do not  
exceed the maximum level indicated.  
Overdosing the amount of detergent does not improve the quality of the wash and could  
cause excessive suds potentially leading to an overflow.  
The dispenser can be removed and cleaned (see Cleaning section, page 21).  
NB. When washing with cold water, always reduce the amount of detergent you use - it dissolves  
less easily in cold water than in hot water, so some would be wasted.

Using your appliance  
Setting a Wash Programme / Starting the appliance  
Load the laundry into the appliance and close the door. Load the detergent. Set the required  
programme. Turn the Temperature knob to that of the selected programme.

device to disconnect. Unload the laundry.  
Cancelling or changing the programme  
Should you wish to interrupt the programme in progress or set a new one, turn the Programme  
Selection knob to select one of the symbols (Stop/Reset). After a short time the cancellation  
will be accepted, the On/Off Indicator light will flash - you can then either turn the appliance

time until the On/Off indicator light stops flashing to show the setting has been accepted.  
You can now select the programme required.  
The On/Off indicator light has a particular flashing motion (2 seconds on and 4 seconds off) to  
indicate that a delayed start has been set.

Wool drying cycle  
The drying cycle for woollen garments should only, and exclusively, be run together with the  
selection of a specific cycle time (150 - 100 - 60 - 40 minutes).  
We recommend a 60 minute drying cycle for a 1kg load.  
If one of the three levels (Extra Dry  
, Hanger Dry  
, Iron  
) is selected by mistake, the  
appliance will run a drying cycle lasting the Max. time foreseen (150 minutes).  
Important  
A spin cycle is carried out during the drying if you have set a cotton programme and a level of  
dryness (Extra Dry , Hanger Dry , Iron  
).

Washcare tips  
Cutting costs effectively:-  
Maximise the load size Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using  
the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load  
instead of 2 half loads.  
Do you need a pre-wash? For heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time, water and  
between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting pre-wash for slight to normal  
soiled laundry.  
Is a hot wash required? Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water  
before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy  
by using a 60˚C wash programme.  
Before using a drying programme Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to  
reduce the water content before using a drying programme (Washer Dryer only).  
Washing  
Before washing laundry:-  
Pre-treat stains.  
Close zips, fasten belts, tie strings etc... and press studs to prevent tangling.  
Remove all items from pockets.  
Limit size of absorbent loads to give good washing/rinsing results.  
Place small items in a wash bag.  
Check wash labels as some items may require a cool programme.  
Wash non-colour fast items, woollens or really dirty clothes separately as they may affect  
other items.  
Laundry will not wash properly if you over load your appliance.  
Laundry without a wash label should not be machine washed.  
Drying  
(Washer Dryer only)  
To carry out a drying only programme the laundry must previously have been washed and  
spun.  
When drying bedspreads, single blankets etc... we recommend that you remove, shake and  
reload during the cycle to ensure faster and more even drying.  
Starched articles should be dried together to avoid distribution of starch onto non-starched  
items.  
Be careful not to over dry.  
After you have dried a particularly ‘fluffy’ load or you have used the machine as a dryer only,  
you MUST, after the load has been removed, set your machine to rinse and spin.  
Items Not Suitable For Tumble Drying  
Garments with the ITCL code -DO NOT TUMBLE DRY  
Woollens - except on special dry programme (see page 16).  
Large bulky items eg. quilts, bedspreads pillows etc... expand when dry, preventing  
air flow through the appliance.  
Items containing plastic film, foam rubber or rubber like materials eg. pillows, cushions,  
PVC rainwear or inflammable articles which contain inflammable substances eg. towels  
contaminated with hair lacquer.  
Fibreglass (eg. some types of curtains).  
Items which have been dry cleaned.
