Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking
1. Remove the washer-dryer from its packaging. 2. Make sure that the washer-dryer has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. 3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a gas threaded connection (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose to the washer-dryer by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided. 5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washer-dryer needs to be moved to another location.
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details table (see next page). ! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician. ! Never use second-hand hoses. ! Use the ones supplied with the machine.
1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else. 2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2.
Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;
the supply voltage is included within the values i ndicated on the Technical details table (see page 5); the socket is compatible with the washing machines plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug. Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions below.

Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap
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.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Replacing the fuse: When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers: If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot. Removing the plug: If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either: the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval. or: the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance. Disposing of the plug: Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket. Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug: Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow Earth Blue Neutral Brown Live
If it is place over the edge of a basin or sink be sure the free end of the hose should not be underwater.
! 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. Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that: the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law; the socket is able to sustain the appliances maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table (see page 5);
As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifyng the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow. Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red. Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black. If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board. If you are in any doubt the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use. How to connect an alternative plug: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE NEUTRAL (N) BROWN LIVE (L) GREEN & YELLOW EARTH (E) Disposing of the appliance: When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body and dispose of it as described above.

Specials wash cycles Sport Intensive (wash cycle 8) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the Table of wash cycles. Sport Light (wash cycle 9) is for washing lightly soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the Table of wash cycles. We recommend using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-load. Sport Shoes (wash cycle 10) is for washing sports shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs simultaneously. Express Wash & Dry (wash cycle 13) was designed to wash and dry lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 0.5 kg in just 35 minutes. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains.

Personalisation

Setting the temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash. The washer-dryer will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle. Turn the DRYING knob to select the desired drying op- Table of Drying times (guideline values) tion. There are two options: Fabric Max. Cupboard Henger Iron Load type type load (kg) dry dry dry A - Based on time: From 40 minutes to 180. Clothing of diffeB - Based on the desired laundry dryness level: Cotton rent sizes, Terry Iron dry : suitable for clothes which will need ironing towels afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove. : ideal for clothes which do not need to be Synthe- Sheets, Shirts, PyHanger dry jamas, socks, etc. tics dried fully. Cupboard dry : suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed. 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. Drying only Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle (11-12) in accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or time may also be set using the DRYING knob.

Setting the drying cycle

Functions
The various wash functions available with this washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time. To activate the functions: 1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function; 2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated. Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the selected wash cycle. Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the Table of wash cycles). enables you to wash in less time thereby saving water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with cycles 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,
1000-500 Press this button to reduce the spin speed.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with cycles 6, 11, 12, 13,
Intensive Wash Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with cycles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,
Delay timer This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 9 hours. Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled. N.B. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until launching the set programme. ! This option is enabled with all programmes.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.
Silk: use special wash cycle 6 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes. Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 6. Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 7.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

Load balancing system

Before 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.

! Do not pour detergent into the compartment 1.
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 2. compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle. compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

Preparing the laundry

Divide the laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites. Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons. Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry: Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg Wool: max. 1,5 kg Silk: max. 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g 1 pillow case 150-200 g 1 tablecloth 400-500 g 1 bathrobe 900-1200 g 1 towel 150-250 g
Garments requiring special care
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 5, even those carrying the hand-wash only label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry.

Precautions and tips

! This Washer-dryer was designed and constructed in accordance with international safety regulations. The following information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.
The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle. If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy. Before loading laundry into the Washer-dryer, make sure the drum is empty. During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot. Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have been washed with flammable solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene). Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or similar elastomers. Make sure that the water tap is turned on during the drying cycles.

General safety

This appliance was designed for domestic use only. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. - Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer. - Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer. - Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer. - Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions. - The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged. WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated. The Washer-dryer must only be used by adults, in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet. Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull. Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the machine is in operation. Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extremely high temperatures. Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening. If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to repair it yourself. Always keep children well away from the appliance while it is operating.

Disposal

Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used. The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washerdryer and help to prevent leaks. Unplug the washer-dryer when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the pump

The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber: 1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washer-dryer (see figure);
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.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.
2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;
Caring for the door and drum of your appliance
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. 3. clean the inside thoroughly; 4. screw the lid back on; 5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.
! Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting

Your washer-dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The machine does not switch on.
Possible causes / Solutions:
The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact. There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug. The door is not closed properly. The ON/OFF button has not been pressed. The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine. A delayed start has been set. Check the 2 sections above. The DRYING button has been pressed to exclude drying. A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle. If the clothes appear too hot to handle leave the door open to allow to cool further before removing from the machine.
The wash cycle does not start.
The machine does not dry.
The clothes are too hot when the drying cycle is finished.
The machine does not fill with wa The water inlet hose is kinked. ter or the indicator light for the first The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply. wash cycle stage flashes rapidly. The water pressure is too low. The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine. There is no water supply to the house. The inlet valve filter is blocked. The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. The machine continuously fills with water and continually drains away or Water left in the drum or Stuck on wash. The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see Installation). The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose. The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the U bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose. The Pump filter is blocked. The drain hose is kinked (see Installation). New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if connected under a sink. The drain hose or sink trap is blocked. Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme times accordingly (see The machine wont spin properly below) - (Most Common Cause!). The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock. New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine. The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls. The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at a lower speed. There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.

The machine does not drain or spin (error lights flashing).
The wash programme takes too long.
The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

The machine is noisy.

The machine wont spin properly.
Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage. Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt, etc). - Try the programme again using a different load. The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning. The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again. The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position. The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends. The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill hose is missing the rubber washer. The drain hose is not fixed in properly. Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical Assistance Centre.
The machine leaks from the dispenser.
The machine leaks (other than dispenser).
The option lights and the START/ PAUSE indicator light flash while one of the wash cycle progress and DOOR LOCKED lights are lit in a fixed manner. The machine smells.
The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with detergent and no laundry. The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after the program has finished. The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal. The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.
The machine door cannot be opened. Door Seal damaged at the bottom. The water level is too low when the machine is washing. There is too much foam.
The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text for washing machines or hand and machine wash or the like). Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water. To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an automatic standby system. Press ON/OFF button for 3 seconds to activate the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.
After completing the programme, or before starting a programme, the machine has turned itself off (no lights). General.
Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress). Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to be anything wrong!
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed above. Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine. Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine washable.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking
1. Remove the washer-dryer from its packaging. 2. Make sure that the washer-dryer has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. 3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a gas threaded connection (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear. 2. Connect the inlet hose to the washer-dryer by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top righthand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure). 3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided. 5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washer-dryer needs to be moved to another location.
Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details table (see next page). If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician. Never use second-hand hoses. Use the ones supplied with the machine.
1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else. 2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2.
Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;
the supply voltage is included within the values i ndicated on the Technical details table (see page 5); the socket is compatible with the washing machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug. Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions below.

Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap
The drain hose may be connected to an under-sink trap. Before connecting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot. If it is place over the edge of a basin or sink be sure the free end of the hose should not be underwater.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Replacing the fuse: When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers: If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot. Removing the plug: If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either: the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval. or: the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance. Disposing of the plug: Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket. Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug: Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow Earth Blue Neutral Brown Live
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. Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that: the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law; the socket is able to sustain the appliance's maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table (see page 5);
As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifyng the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E or coloured Green or Green & Yellow. or Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red. Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black. If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board. If you are in any doubt the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use. How to connect an alternative plug: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE NEUTRAL (N) BROWN LIVE (L) GREEN & YELLOW EARTH (E) Disposing of the appliance: When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body and dispose of it as described above.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.

Functions

The various wash functions available with this washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time. To activate the functions: 1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function; 2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated. Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the selected wash cycle. Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly enables you to wash in less time soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the "Table of wash cycles"). thereby saving water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity. This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , ,. 1000-500 Press this button to reduce the spin speed This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 6, 11, 12, 13,
Intensive Wash Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.
This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,
Delay timer This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 9 hours. Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled. N.B. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time can only be modified by decreasing it until launching the set programme. This option is enabled with all programmes.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.

Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows. 3
Silk: use special wash cycle 6 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes. Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 6. Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 7.

Load balancing system

Before 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.
ompartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder) compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid) Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle. compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

Preparing the laundry

Divide the laundry according to: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites. Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons. Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry: Durable fabrics: max. 6 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 kg Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg Wool: max. 1,5 kg Silk: max. 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
sheet 400-500 g pillow case 150-200 g tablecloth 400-500 g bathrobe 900-1200 g towel 150-250 g
Garments requiring special care
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 5, even those carrying the "hand-wash label. For best results, use special only" detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry.

Precautions and tips

This Washer-dryer was designed and constructed in accordance with international safety regulations. The following information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.
separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

General safety

This appliance was designed for domestic use only. The Washer-dryer must only be used by adults, in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet. Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull. Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the machine is in operation. Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extremely high temperatures. Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening. If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to repair it yourself. Always keep children well away from the appliance while it is operating. The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle. If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy. Before loading laundry into the Washer-dryer, make sure the drum is empty. During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot. Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have been washed with flammable solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene). Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or similar elastomers. Make sure that the water tap is turned on during the drying cycles.

Disposal

Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used. The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washer-dryer and help to prevent leaks. Unplug the washer-dryer when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the pump

The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.
Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber: 1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washer-dryer (see figure);
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.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.
2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;
Caring for the door and drum of your appliance
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. 3. clean the inside thoroughly; 4. screw the lid back on; 5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.
Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting

Your washer-dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see Assistance), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The Washer-dryer does not switch on. The wash cycle does not start.
Possible causes / Solutions:
The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact. There is no power in the house. The Washer-dryer door is not closed properly. The ON/OFF button has not been pressed. The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. The water tap has not been opened. A delayed start has been set. The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap. The hose is bent. The water tap has not been opened. There is no water supply in the house. The pressure is too low. The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
