You cannot buy Lamona without a Howdens trade account. We have one, so you can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRead this first — the space it needs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe machine is \u003cstrong\u003e845mm high × 597mm wide × 582mm deep\u003c\/strong\u003e on four adjustable feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHowdens publish installation dimensions identical to the machine's own body\u003c\/strong\u003e — 845 × 597 × 582mm — which means they publish no clearance allowance at all. Treat those as body dimensions, not as a gap. In practice you want a gap a little wider than 597mm so the machine can be slid in and levelled, and real depth behind it for the inlet hose and the waste, which will add meaningfully to 582mm. Ask us for the installation manual before you build anything around it and we will send it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15 programmes\u003c\/strong\u003e according to Howdens' specification row, of which they name thirteen: Cottons, Economy, Pre-Wash, Wool, Duvet, Handwash, Rinse, Allergy Safe, Fast60, Quick Wash, Colours, Dark Care and Spin and Drain. We are quoting both figures because they do not agree, and we are not going to name programmes Howdens have not named.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne thing we are deliberately not claiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens' own description of this machine advertises a \"sports mode\" for mud and grass. There is no sports or outdoor programme in its published programme list — the black FLM8703 has an \"Outdoor\" programme and this one does not, so the copy looks to have been written against the wrong model. If a sports or outdoor cycle is why you are buying, look at the black FLM8703 or ask us to confirm first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a \u003cstrong\u003e12 minute quick wash\u003c\/strong\u003e, a delay timer (Howdens publish no maximum delay period, so we are not quoting one), a \u003cstrong\u003echildlock\u003c\/strong\u003e, fuzzy logic, automatic load detection and unbalanced load detection. Temperature range is published as \u003cstrong\u003eCold to 90°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. The door opens to the \u003cstrong\u003eright\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is a cold-fill machine and is supplied with a hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRunning costs and noise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnergy rating \u003cstrong\u003eA\u003c\/strong\u003e — the top of the current washing-machine scale — at \u003cstrong\u003e49kWh per 100 cycles\u003c\/strong\u003e. Howdens publish no annual consumption figure for this model, although they do for its black sibling; we have not borrowed that figure, because the two pages also disagree with each other on the per-100-cycles number and we do not know which is right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is a loud machine at 74dB\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a B noise rating. That is normal for a 1400rpm spin but worth knowing before you put it in an open-plan kitchen rather than a utility room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe matching dryer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair this with the \u003cstrong\u003ewhite FLM8803 9kg heat pump tumble dryer\u003c\/strong\u003e — same finish, same 9kg drum, so a full wash load dries in one go. One point of caution if you plan to stack them: Howdens' laundry stacking kits name only the \u003cem\u003eblack\u003c\/em\u003e FLM8703 and FLM8802 in their compatibility data, and say nothing about the white pair. Ask us before you buy a kit and we will get that confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification, as published by Howdens\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel Number: FLM8702\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour Description: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Wash Load Drum Capacity: 9kg · Drum Capacity: Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Spin Speed: 1400rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy Rating: A · Energy Consumption Per 100 Cycles: 49kWh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise Level: 74dB · Appliance Noise Rating: B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Programmes: 15 \u003cem\u003e(thirteen are named — see above)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashing Programmes: Cottons, Economy, Pre-Wash, Wool, Duvet, Handwash, Rinse, Allergy Safe, Fast60, Quick Wash, Colours, Dark Care, Spin and Drain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature Programme: Cold - 90°C · Programme Setting: 12 Minute Quick Wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Type: Rotary and Touch · Display Type: LED · Display Colour: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill Type: Cold · Filter Type: Removable · Fuzzy Logic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Feature: Anti-Flood Device · Safety Feature: Childlock Facility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetection System: Automatic Load Detection System · Unbalanced Load Detection System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor Opening: Right · End of Programme Signal: Light Indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Time Delay Start: Delay Timer \u003cem\u003e(no period published)\u003c\/em\u003e · Timer Facility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmperage Required: 10A · Maximum Input Power: 2200W · Power Voltage Supply: 220V · Electrical Supply Frequency: 50Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectivity: No Wireless Functionality · Smart Compatibility: Not Smart Compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied With: Hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDimensions and installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppliance size: \u003cstrong\u003e845mm high × 597mm wide × 582mm deep\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Pressure Range: 1-10bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting Type: Freestanding · Footings: 4 Adjustable Feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring Requirement: Plug · Mains Lead Length: 1.6m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight without packaging: 75.369kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Year Manufacturer's Guarantee.
