! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference. If the Washerdryer is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features. ! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance. Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the Washer-dryer. Unpacking and levelling Connecting the water inlet hose 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).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs

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

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 electricity and water supplies

1. Connect the inlet

hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 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 Washerdryer 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).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over

or bent. ! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the range of values indicated in the Technical data 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. Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drain duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor; alternatively, placed it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be underwater. ! We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length. Electrical connections Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable laws;
• the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
• the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the Washer-dryer. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug. ! The Washer-dryer must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather conditions. ! When the Washer-dryer has been installed, the electricity socket must remain within easy reach. ! Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets. ! The cable should not be bent or compressed. ! The power supply cable must only be replaced by authorised technicians. Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these standards are not observed. The first wash cycle Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the wash cycle “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the Washer-dryer”).

The load must consist of regulations 2 sheets, 1 pillowcase and 2 EN 50229 hand towels; the remainder of the load must be dried by selecting the “ ” dryness level. This appliance conforms to the following EC Directives: - 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) - 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage)

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

• 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.

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. 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. For maximum performance 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 for 5 seconds (see figure). The programme will start automatically and will last approximately 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2) (see figure). Wash it under running water; this procedure should be repeated frequently. 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 protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump. ! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber:

1. Take off the cover

panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see figures).

by rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal.

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. 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. General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. - 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.

• 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.

• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches. 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. Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE) 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.

Do not use fabric softeners for garments with technical fibres. Press this button to reduce the spin speed. Extra Rinse By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer Successful 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. ! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for prewashing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C. ! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additiB 4 ve, as follows.

Compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder) Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed. Compartment 2: Washing detergent (powder or liquid) If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage. If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B. Compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener must not exceed the “max” level indicated on the central pin. Extra compartment 4: Bleach Bleach cycle Insert the additional compartment 4 (provided) into compartment 1. In pouring the bleach do not exceed the “max” level indicated on the central pin. Perform bleaching by pouring the bleach into additional compartment 4 and set the programme ! Traditional bleach should be used on resistant white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured and synthetics fabrics and for wool. 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 values listed in the “Table of wash cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry. How much does your laundry weigh? 1 sheet 400-500 g 1 pillow case 150-200 g 1 tablecloth 400-500 g 1 bathrobe 900-1.200 g 1 towel 150-250 g Garments requiring special care Sport (programme 1) is designed for washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the “Table of wash cycles”. We recommend using liquid detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a half-load. Dark: use programme 2 to wash dark-coloured garments. This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results when washing dark-coloured garments.

When you select the drying function, at the end of the washing cycle the machine will automatically perform a delicate drying cycle that preserves the colours of the garments. The display will show the level “ ”. Max. load: 2,5 kg. Anti-odour: use programme 3 for washing garments with bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The programme is designed to remove bad odours while preserving the fabric fibres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed loads should be washed at 40°, and resistant cotton fabrics at 60°. Delicate: use programme 4 to wash very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate garments. When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and appropriate temperature control of the water jet. The recommended durations are: 1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min 1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min 1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric composition. Wool: the wool wash programme of this machine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool containing garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washer-dryer. (M1126) In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade mark is a Certification trade mark. Rapid 30’ (programme 6) this programme is designed to wash lightly soiled garments at 30° (excluding wool and silk) with a 3 kg maximum load in a short time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows for saving time and energy Coloured: use this programme 10 to wash bright coloured clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright colours over time. Eco Cotton 20° (programme 11) ideal for lightly soiled cotton loads. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures, which are comparable to washing at 40°, are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, with repeated and frequent peaks. Eco Synthetic (programme 12) ideal for mixed loads (cotton and synthetics) with a normal soil level. The effective performance levels achieved at cold temperatures are guaranteed by a mechanical action which operates at varying speed, across set average intervals. Wash&Dry 45’ select programme 13 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. AirFresh (programme 14) ideal cycle to refresh garments and remove bad odours, in particular smoke, from cotton and synthetic items in 30’ (max 1.5kg) without the washing phase. Troubleshooting Your Washer-dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.

Problem: Possible causes / Solutions: The Washer-dryer does not switch on.

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.
• There is no power in the house. The wash cycle does not start.

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. The Washer-dryer does not take in water (the indicator light for the first wash cycle stage flashes rapidly).
