OPTIONS

Options are selected by pressing the button and confirmed by illumination an orange LED sited in the button.If an option is not available with a programme, the LED will flash and a bleeping noise will be heard when pressing the button.

Super WashThis option offers a high-performance wash due to the greater quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle, and due to the increased wash cycle duration, is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains.This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, (Not WDAL8640PUK. and WDAL8640GUK. or WDAL9640GUK.).

Slow SpinBy selecting this function, reduces the spin speed.This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14.(Not WDAL8640PUK. and WDAL8640GUK. or WDAL9640GUK.).

Timer SaverIf you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle, thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, (Not WDAL8640PUK. and WDAL8640GUK. or WDAL9640GUK.).

EcoThe 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 detergentThis function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, (Not WDAL8640PUK. and WDAL8640GUK. or WDAL9640GUK.).

By also turning the DRYING knob to the position, a drying cycle automatically activates at the end of the wash cycle that also helps to reduce energy consumption, thanks to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle duration.It can be activated with programmes 4 and 5.

PROGRAMMES - WDAL8640PUK & WDAL8640GUK

Anti Stain: The programme 1 is suitable for 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.Whites: Use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The 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 and dog hair.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.

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 accor-ding 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.

DRYING

SETTING THE DRYING PROGRAMME

Independent Drying only Programme:1. Remove the wet laundry and the dosing ball (if used) until the correct drying weight load is left in

the drum.2. Close the door until it clicks shut.3. Turn the programme selector dial to Drying Programmes 12, 13 or 14.4. Select Auto or time dry as required, by pressing the button advancing through the settings

available.5. When all selections have been made press the Start/Cancel button. A bleep will be heard followed

by a 'CLUNK' from the door lock solenoid and the door will lock.6. When the programme has finished the DOOR LOCKED indicator light will go out and a CLUNK

will be heard as the door lock solenoid disengages. The door can now be opened.

Setting the Drying CycleTurn the DRYING knob to set the desired drying type. Two options are available:A - Based on time: from 40 to 180 minutes.B - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have been dried:Iron : Slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.Hanger : Dry clothes to put away.Cupboard : Very dry clothes, recommended for towelling and bathrobes.If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent table), 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.NOTE: When the drying is complete there is a cooling period, even though the DRYING knob is in the

position.

The control board has an access port to the rear of the machine.Programmes are selected by turning the rotary switch to one of the 16 positions. Special options can be selected by pressing the appropriate buttons and the programme process followed by LEDs.The machine is switched on using the On/Off button and selected programmes started by pressing the Start/Cancel button.

Automatic Features

Auto Half LoadAuto half load adjusts the amount of water in the wash load depending on the absorbency of garments in the wash load.

Fabric Conditioner DispensingDispensing of fabric conditioner is achieved by energising both the Pre-Wash and Main Wash cold valves.

Load Balancing SystemBefore 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.

Out of Balance ProtectionThe machine has an inbuilt feature to prevent spinning with an unbalanced load. A calculation via the motor tacho and control board detects the current drawn by the motor during distribution.Before each spin, the controls senses the load within the drum and if the load is calculated to be out of balance the machine will not automatically spin to the full speed.There are two levels of out of balance, level 1 @ 480 grammes and level 2 @ 1030 grammes.If the out of balance is below level 1 the machine will spin at full speed, if between level 1 and level 2 the machine will spin at the reduced speed of 600 rpm and above level 2 spin at reduced speed of400 rpm. There are 15 attempts at level 1 with 57 attempts in total, this being the same for both cotton and synthetic spins.The wool spin has one level of out of balance @ 1.8 kg. The controls will make three attempts to achieve a balance, if after three attempts a balance is not achieved; the spin is reduced to a speed of 90 rpm.

THE CONDENSER TUMBLE DRYING PROCESSThe drying process is by means of a closed air system driven by a circulating fan. Air is drawn internally from the rear of the outer drum, passed over a heating element and returned to the front of the drum via an inlet through the door seal. The warm air travels through the wash load collecting moisture, the moist air then condenses on a stream of cold water running down the inner rear section of the outer drum. The relatively dry air is then drawn back over the element to repeat the process.The circulating fan, one shot cut-out or thermal fuse cable along with a thermistor to control the air temperature are located in a heater box assembly attached to the top of the outer drum.The airflow passes through a filter located within the air duct from the outer drum to the heater box assembly. At the start of every drying program the filter is automatically cleaned by flushing water through it by means of a fill valve wired in parallel with the hot fill valve for 5 seconds duration.

The blower fan puts air into the drum, by means of the connection between the blower system and the door seal.

The steam produced is drawn into the condenser, and hit by a cold water spray.The steam condenses and is pumpedaway by the drain pump as condensate.

The blower fan draws cold air from the condenser at the rear of the appliance and feeds it across the heating element.

New Style Dryer Element

21 of 33



Thermal SpinA thermal spin on the High Heat setting is carried at the start of the of the drying process. The load is pre-heated to approximately 50°C by the dryer heater with normal tumble action and pump out. The thermistor located in the wash heater will sense the load temperature and when 50°C is achieved a5 minute Spin profile will be carried out at full spin speed.During thermal spin the out of Balance detection will operate and maximum speed will only be achieved depending on the out of balance condition.On completion of the Thermal Spin, the tumble drying process will commence for the period of time selected.Thermal spin is NOT available when low heat is selected.

FAULT FINDING - Arcadia ModelsIMPORTANT NOTE: Disconnect the machine from Electricity Supply before any testing.

General Information

If the machine has an Earth Fault it can display erroneous fault codes. Repair any Earth Faults on the machine before using the code guide on the previous page.Some faults will not show up as error codes:-

The module will not show up a fault if the water to the machine is turned off or if the solenoid valves are open circuit.Certain motor faults, will not show as a fault, the door will lock but the machine will not start a programme (motor plug disconnected, faulty brushes etc.).Open circuit field windings will signal fault F01.If the motor Thermoprotector (toc) - if fitted -operates in the middle of a cycle, the machine will stop with no fault code indicated, when the thermoprotector (toc) resets the cycle will then restart.If the element goes open circuit in the middle of a programme and the pressure switch is in the full position, the machine may not signal a fault but will wash for a long extended period.Note: This chart refers to both "commutator" (brush motor) and "three phase" (non-brush motor) models. Refer to text for appropriate information.

INSTALLATION

Unpacking1. Unpack the washing machine and check whether the it has been damaged during transport.

If this is the case, do not install it and contact the retailer.2. Remove the four protective screws (transit bolts) and the rubber washer with the respective

spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see Figures below).3. Fit the blanking plugs provided into the holes vacated by the bolts.3. Use the plug provided to seal the holes where the mains plug was housed (if supplied), situated

on the lower right hand side on the rear of the appliance.4. Keep all the removed parts as they will be required again if the washing machine needs to be

moved to another location.

Levelling1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, cabinets etc.2. Compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet. The angle of

inclination, measured according to the worktop must not exceed 2°.Levelling the appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation underneath the appliance.

Connecting the water inlet hose.

This raised part is attached to the polystyrene base and should have been removed when unpacking. Remove 4 transit bolts.

Before making the water connection to the 3/4" thread, allow the water freely from the supply tap until it is perfectly clear.

Check that seal is in place inside the hose end cap.

Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine, screwing it onto the cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand rear of the appliance - see illustration above.

Screw the inlet end with the blue cap onto the cold water supply tap.Turn the tap on and check for leaks: tighten if necessary. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose. The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Specifications page.

31 of 33



DRAINAGE CONNECTIONSA. Connect the drain hose, without kinking it, to a

draining duct or a wall drain fixed at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor. See Fig.1.

B. Alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the hose supplied to the tap. See Fig.1.The free end of the hose should not be under water. Note: 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.

Undersink Connections:The drain hose may be connected to an undersink trap. Before connecting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot. See Fig.2.

Note: The hose must also be raised up in a similar way to a standpipe installation to prevent backflow of waste water from the sink into the machine. See Fig.1.

Electrical ConnectionsBefore plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:

- the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law.- the supply voltage is included within the values indicated in the Specifications page.- the socket is compatible with the washing machines plug. If this is not the case, replace the

socket or the plug.

Location! The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when the area

is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.! When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach.! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.! The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.! The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman.

WARNING! The company denies all liability if and when these warnings are not respected.

The first wash cycleOnce the appliance has been installed and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C programme without a pre-wash cycle.Use the 'Auto Clean' cycle for WDAL9640GUK.

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.To start the programme press buttons A and B simultaneously for5 seconds (see figure).The programme will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

CLEANING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER DRAWERRemove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.
