Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips: Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments. The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded (for both washing and drying cycles). When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent. The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately spun before being dried. With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
Main features of your washer-dryer
Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector. Stain programme for effectively treating stained washing. Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items. Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 1200, 900, 700 or 400 rpm. RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to prevent creasing. Delay timer: programme start can be delayed by 1 to 19 hours (e.g. to times with a more economical power rate). Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected and the programme phase which is running. Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes your garments with extreme care. The drying programmes will enable you to have dry and soft laundry in a short time. 3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener. Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.

Delicates Microfibres, synthetics or curtains marked with these symbols require a very gentle treatment. The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of fabric.
Woollens and particularly delicate items Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are particularly sensitive to machine washing. The WOOLLENS programme is suitable for this type of fabric. If the label has the symbol (do not wash), the garments must not be machine washed!

Detergents and additives

Which detergent?.
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

WHITES

We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures.

NON BIOLOGICAL

If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good cleaning and stain removal.

COLOUREDS

For coloured items you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour. Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps to preserve colours.

DELICATE ITEMS

When washing delicates such as woollens, you should use a product which is specially designed to care for fine fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens and other delicates.

LAUNDRY BLEACH

For additional stain removal you may wish to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach which is used in addition to your chosen detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable fabrics including silks, woollens and coloureds.

STAIN REMOVER

For heavily soiled garments to be washed with STAINAction, you should use stain removers such as VANISH In-Wash, Ecover Stain Salt and GloWhite Booster.

TOUGHER ON STAINS

FOR WHITES AND COLOURS JUST ADD TO DETERGENT

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms. Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is your own personal choice.

Selection of the spin speed or RINSE HOLD option
It is possible to select a lower spin speed by means of the relevant button; the light corresponding to the selected speed comes on. When selecting the RINSE HOLD option, the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water. If the spin speed is not reduced , the final spin speed will be as follows: - cottons, linens 1600 r.p.m. (16800) 1400 r.p.m. (14800) - synthetics 900 r.p.m. - delicates 700 r.p.m. - wool (hand washing) 900 r.p.m.

EXTRA RINSE
This appliance is designed for saving water. However, for people with a very delicate skin (allergic to detergents) it may be necessary to rinse the laundry using an extra quantity of water (extra rinse). The extra rinse is available only with the cotton, synthetics or delicate programme.
Selection of the EXTRA RINSE option
Press simultaneously PREWASH and QUICK WASH buttons for about 2 seconds: the EXTRA RINSE light in the programme progress display comes on. This function stays permanently on. To remove it press PREWASH and QUICK WASH buttons again until the EXTRA RINSE light comes off.
Selection of the DELAYED START option
To delay starting of a programme, press the DELAYED START button before starting the machine. The figures corresponding to the selected delay will be displayed for about 5 seconds, after which the duration of the selected programme will appear on the display. If the SOAK button has been pressed the selected delay will correspond to the soak time. If no delay time is selected the soak programme will last about 30 minutes. When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the selected delay will appear again on the display and the machine starts its countdown.

Starting the programme

1. Check that the water tap is open. 2. Press START/PAUSE to start the programme. If the Delay Start option has been selected the START/PAUSE programme will start at the end of the countdown. If the door light beside the START/PAUSE button is red and flashing at the start of the programme it indicates that the door is open. Close the door and press the START/PAUSE button again.

Regularly check to see, if there are deposits or foreign objects in the rubber seal behind the door and remove them.
The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. Open the filter P0860 door. Place a container under the filter and unscrew it; some water will come out of the filter. Pull out the filter. Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in.

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the tap. Clean the filter with a stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain pipe are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine: pull out the plug from the power socket; close the water tap; if necessary, wait until the water has cooled; place a bowl on the floor; put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water out. Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come out slowly. At the end screw the filter in again.

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0C, proceed as follows: Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap. Place the end of the drain hose and the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor. Select the DRAIN programme and run it until the machine stops. Turn the programme selector dial to O (RESET). Remove the plug from the power socket. Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its place. By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice forming and consequently damage to the appliance. When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0C. 36

Something not working?

If during the spin cycle the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor. If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself following the instructions below. If you call out an engineer when one of the following problems arises, or to repair a fault due to incorrect use, the call-out will be charged even if requested within the guarantee period. During machine operation the following alarm codes may be displayed: - E10: problem with the water supply (phase light EXTRA RINSE is on) - E20: problem with water draining (phase light RINSES is on) - E40: door open (phase light WASH is on) Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme.
