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. Connecting the electricity and water supplies Connecting the water inlet hose

ply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a ¾ gas threa- ded 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 correspon- ding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the ap- pliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over

or bent. ! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details table (see page 3). ! 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. ! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference. If the washer- dryer is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to fa- miliarise himself/herself with its operation and features. ! Read these instructions carefully: they con- tain vital information relating to the safe instal- lation and operation of the appliance. 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 pro-

tective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber wa- sher with the cor- responding 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, com- pensate for any une- venness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measu- red in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. InstallationGB

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, fa- stening the duct sup- plied 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 electri- city socket, make sure that:

• thesocketisearthedandcomplieswithall applicable laws;

• thesocketisabletowithstandthemaxi- mum power load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

• thepowersupplyvoltagefallswithintheva- lues indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

• thesocketiscompatiblewiththeplugofthe washer-dryer. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug. ! The washer-dryer must not be installed ou- tdoors, 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 repla- ced 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 wash cycle number auto clean (see “Cleaning the washer-dryer”).

Care and maintenance Cutting off the water and electri- city supplies

• Turnoffthewatertapaftereverywashcycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washer-dryer and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplugthewasher-dryerwhencleaningit and during all maintenance work. Cleaning the washer-dryer

• Theouterpartsandrubbercomponents of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

• Thewasher-dryerhasaautocleanpro- gramme for its internal parts that must be run with no load in the drum. To help the wash cycle 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 run- ning a cleaning pro- gramme 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 run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/PAUSE button. Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer Remove the dispenser by raising it and pul- ling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

• Alwaysleavetheportholedoorajarinorder to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Cleaning the pump The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require any maintenan- ce. 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 screwdri-

ver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washer-dryer (see figure);

by rotating it anti- clockwise (see figu- re): 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.GB

Precautions and tips Opening the porthole door manually In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.

2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower

than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the drain hose, collecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the

lower front part of the washer-dryer (see figure).

4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure,

until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards and open the door at the same time.

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely

in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Display The display is useful when programming the machine and provides a great deal of information. The upper two strings A and B are used to display the selected wash cycle or the type of drying selected, the current wash cycle phase (the selected dryness level or drying time) and all the indications relating to the progress status of the cycle. String C shows the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle in progress and, if a DELAYED START has been set, the time remaining until the start of the selected wash cycle. String D shows the maximum spin speed value (this depends on the selected wash cycle); if the wash cycle does not include a spin cycle, the string remains unused. String E shows the maximum temperature value which may be selected (this depends on the wash cycle used); if the tempe- rature of the wash cycle cannot be modified, the string remains unused. Indicator lights F correspond to the functions and light up when the selected function is compatible with the set wash cycle. Door locked symbol If the symbol is lit, this indicates that the washer-dryer door is blocked to prevent it from being opened accidentally. To pre- vent any damage from occurring, wait for the symbol to switch itself off before opening the appliance door. N.B.: if the DELAYE TIMER function has been activated, the door cannot be opened; pauses the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button if you wish to open it. !

To change the language switch off the machine and press buttons X, Y, Z simultaneously until an alarm is heard: the language-selection menu will be displayed again.

How to run a wash cycle or a drying cycle

1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the On/Off button

; the text POWER ON will appear on the display and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green colour.

2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door. Load the

laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum load value indicated in the table of programmes on the following page.

3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents and laundry”.

5. SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Press one of the WASH

CYCLE SELECTOR buttons to select the required wash cycle; the name of the wash cycle will appear on the display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will appear on the display.

6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons:

Modifying the temperature. The machine automatically select the maximum temperature set for the selected wash cycle; this values cannot therefore be increased. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash “OFF” setting is reached. If this button is pressed again, the maximum values are restored. ! Exception: if the 2 (40°) (2nd press of the button) programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C. Setting a delayed start. To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. When this option is enabled, the symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start function press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display. Setting the drying cycle. The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing the DRYING button once or several times. Two options are available: A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have been dried: Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove. Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed. Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such as sponges and bathrobes. B - Based on a set time period: between 20 and 180 minutes. To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until the text OFF appears on the display. If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load, 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. A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle. Drying only Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle ( - - ) in accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or time may also be set using the DRYING button . Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme selector knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an automatic drying cycle that allows for saving energy, thanks to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle duration; the display will visualise the “Eco” dryness level. Set the desired wash intensity. Option makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity. Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool” cycle, which is automatically set to “Delicate”). For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Super Wash” level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn stains. It can be used with or without bleach. If you wish to bleach the items insert the additional compartment (4) into compartment

1. When pouring the bleach, be careful not to exceed the “max”

level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. 10). For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate” level is reached. The cycle will reduce the drum rotation to ensure washing results are perfect for delicate garments. Set the rinse type. Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra Rinse” level, which makes it possible to select an additional rinse after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again for the “Sensitive Skin” level, which makes it possible to select two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. When the button is pressed for the third time, the “Anti allergy Rinse” level is set, thus allowing the selection of 3 rinses in addition to the standard cycle’s rinses. The option - started with cycles at a temperature of 40°C - makes it possible to remove major allergens such as pollen, cat and dog hair. With cycles at a temperature higher than 40° a very good level of antiallergic protection is achieved. Press the button again to go back to the “Normal Rinse” rinse type. If the current adjustment can be neither set nor changed, the display will show “Not allowed”. Modifying the cycle settings.

Timer Saver If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be redu- ced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle, thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments. Press this button to reduce the spin speed. Eco The Eco function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the en- vironment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent. By selecting the drying function as well, an automatic drying cycle automatically activates at the end of the wash cycle – it too allows for saving energy, thanks to the opti- mal combination of air temperature and cycle duration; the display will visualise the “Eco” dryness level.10

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 a 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 di- spenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows. compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle (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 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. extra compartment 3: Bleach Preparing the laundry

• Dividethelaundryaccordingto: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

• Emptyallgarmentpocketsandcheckthebuttons.

• Donotexceedthelistedvalues,whichrefertotheweight of the laundry when dry: see “Table of wash cycles”. 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 Special wash cycles Anti Stain: this programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of different colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains. If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automati- cally activates at the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight exposure and pre- venting loss of whiteness caused by the possible presence of dust in the air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a level basis. Dryness level “Hanger” recommended. Anti Stain Quick: this programme is ideal for washing the most difficult daily stains in 1 hour. It is ideal for mixed fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your clothes as it washes. If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automati- cally activates at the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight exposure and pre- venting loss of whiteness caused by the possible presence of dust in the air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a level basis. Dryness level “Hanger” recommended. Cottons 20°C: 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. Wool (1st press of the button) - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool gar- ments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the products are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine (M1127) Delicates: use programme 4 (2nd press of the button) to wash very delicate garments having strasses or sequins. We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate garments for best results. 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 --> 160 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. To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 4 (2nd press of the button) and set the “Delicate” level from option . Ready to Wear: select programme 7 for washing and drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and Synthetic) in a short time. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a laun- dry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre- treat cuffs, collars and stains. 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.
