Thank you for purchasing a Servis Washing Machine. The responsibility for correctly installing your washing machine rests entirely with you, the owner, so please read the safety and installation instructions carefully. Remember, it may be necessary to pull your appliance from its work- ing position for servicing so do not make the water and electrical connections too short.
12 We advise that for your safety and the continued trouble free operation of your appliance, all repairs and maintenance should be carried out by an approved Servis UK engineer using only genuine parts. 13 Children may not realise the dangers of improper use of electrical appliances. Therefore, please ensure that children are kept away at all times.

For the Republic of Ireland only The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and socket is also used, the 2-pin, side earthed type. In this case, the wire, which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the earth contact and the other two wires to the two pins, irrespective of colour.
HOW TO FIT A DOOR The Washer Fig 5 Dryer requires the following space FITTING A DOOR TO THE APPLIANCE. The front of the appliance has been drilled to accommodate the hinges to enable the door to be opened from the left or right hand side.
LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE Having completed the electrical connections, move your appliance to its operating position. To minimise vibration and noise during spinning your appliance must be level and in firm contact with a well supported or preferably solid floor. Failure to level the appliance could lead to instability and consequent damage to adja- cent equipment.
PLUMBING INSTALLATION Location Modern washing machines spin at high speed. To avoid excessive vibration during spinning, install the appli- ance on a properly supported floor. Always leave at least 5cm of space on each side of the appliance to allow for possible vibration during spinning of unbalanced loads.

Fitting the hoses Important: Remove the hoses from their storage in the drum and fit them to the inlet valves situated on the rear panel of the appliance. Remember to fit the red hose to the red valve and to insert the rubber washers into the couplings.

Temporary connections Fig 16 Washing machine Sink flexible discharge hose Sink waste to Anti-syphon unit S.V. pipe WM4 washing machine trap Washing Machine Spare flexible hose length with hose for W/M withdrawal adaptor Note: All flexible hose connections to be secured with 'Jubilee Clips' It is best to avoid temporary connections where possible.
Temporary drainage connection The end of the drain hose should be placed over the edge of the sink (Fig.18) Fig 18 The hose cannot be easily displaced (a piece of string or wire can be threaded through the hole in the plastic moulded hose crook and then attached to the tap).
HOW TO DO A WASH IMPORTANT You should run an initial wash cycle without laundry to remove residues of factory-applied grease from the drum and tub. We suggest a rinse and spin programme with a small amount of detergent. NOTE: The detergent dispenser drawer and housing should be periodically cleaned to prevent a build up of detergent and fabric softener.

Start up Check that: 1 The appliance is plugged in. QUICKWASH 2 The water taps are on. 3 The drain hose is correctly positioned. Then push the ON/OFF button (Fig 23) to start. The programme is complete when the dial is pointing to SPORTSWASH ‘•’, and the appliance has stopped.
LAUNDRY PREPARATION Before you start washing, sort out your laundry into washing loads according to type of fabric, degree of soiling, colour fastness, drip dry, etc. All the articles in a load must be able to be washed at the same tem- perature.
NOTE: Always follow the recommended dosages of detergent, which can be found on every pack. Servis recommend the use of Ariel, Ariel Color and Ariel Non-Bio in their washing machines, all of these products are available in powder, liquid, tablet or liquitab form to kep you clothes looking newer for longer.
CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCE Successful washing and smooth running of your appliance depends on routine maintenance, which should be carried out on a regular basis. IMPORTANT: You must unplug the appliance before all cleaning and maintenance operations. Decalcification The water we normally use contains lime; therefore, it is a good idea to occasionally use a water softener powder in the appliance (more frequently in hard water areas).

Fig 27 Replace the filter carefully, putting it on its guides, push in and screw it in firmly until black seal is not showing. f the filter is blocked and the appliance is unable to drain, you will need to remove the water from the appli- ance at this stage.

TROUBLESHOOTING If your appliance fails to operate, to avoid unnecessary and possibly expensive service calls, it is in your own interest to make the following preliminary checks: If the appliance does not start Is the electricity on? (Check another appliance in the same socket). Is the plug firmly in the socket? Is the fuse in the plug working? (Try another fuse).
AFTER SALES SERVICE If you think your automatic Washer Dryer is not working properly, ensure that you have referred to the follow- ing before you call for service. The company reserves the right to charge for a service call if an inspection reveals that the appliance is in fact in working order.
