Installation ! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference. If the washing machine 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. Unpacking and levelling Unpacking

1. Remove the washing machine from its packaging.

2. Make sure that the washing machine 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 washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the applian- ce (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 washing machine needs to be moved to another location. ! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children. Levelling

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy

floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not per-

fectly level, compensa- te for any unevenness by tightening or loo- sening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°. Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is ope- rating. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient venti- lation space underneath the washing machine. Connecting the electricity and wa- ter supplies Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply

pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a ¾ gas threaded con- nection (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet

hose to the washing machine by screwing it onto the correspon- ding water inlet of the appliance, which is si- tuated 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 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.GB

This appliance conforms to the following EC Directives: - EMC 2014/30/EU (Electro- magnetic Compatibility) - 2012/19/EU - (WEEE) - LVD 2014/35/EU Low Vol- tage)

Connecting the drain hose Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor; alternatively, rest it on the side of a washba- sin or bathtub, faste- ning 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:

• thesocket isearthed and complies withall applicable laws;

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

• thepowersupplyvoltagefallswithinthevalues indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

• thesocketiscompatiblewiththeplugofthe washing machine. If this is not the case, repla- ce the socket or the plug. ! The washing machine 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 washing machine has been installed, the electricity socket must be 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 regulations are not respected. 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 2.4

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

• Turnoffthewatertapaftereverywashcycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to pre- vent leaks.

• Unplugthewashingmachinewhencleaning it and during all maintenance work. 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 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 washing machine is fitted with a self-clea- ning pump which does not require any mainte- nance. 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 wa- shing machine (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

Specials 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 (fabric)

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 30 minutes. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains. Wash cycles The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected. For all Test Institutes:

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C.

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 40°C.

Setting the temperature TurntheTEMPERATUREknobtosetthewashtemperature(seeTable of wash cycles). The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash . The washer-dryer will automatically prevent you from selec- ting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle. Setting the drying cycle TurntheDRYINGknobtoselectthedesireddrying option. There are two options: A - Based on time: From 40 minutes to 180. B - Based on the desired laundry dryness level: Iron dry : suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove. Hanger dry : ideal for clothes which do not need to be 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,andwhenthecycleiscomplete,dividethegarmentsintogroupsandputsomeofthembackinthedrum.Atthispoint, 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 timemayalsobesetusingtheDRYINGknob. 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 selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash and the function will not be activated. - If the selected function is not compatible with another function which has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first function selected will flash and only the second function will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the enabled option will remain lit. 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. 1400-600 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. 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 correspond- ing to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled. N.B.OncetheSTART/PAUSEbuttonhasbeenpressed,thedelaytimecanonlybemodifiedbydecreasingituntillaunching the set programme.

Detergents and laundry Detergent dispenser drawer Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution. !Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre- washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C. !Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging. ! 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: 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

• Dividethelaundryaccordingto: - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.•Emptyallgarmentpocketsandcheckthebuttons.• Do not exceed the values listed in the “Table of washcycles”, 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 900-1200 g 1 towel 150-250 g Garments requiring special care Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 6, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 2 kg of laundry.Silk: use special wash cycle 7 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 7.Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 8. 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 bal-ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.

Troubleshooting Yourwasher-dryercouldfailtowork.BeforecontactingtheTechnicalAssistanceCentre(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. The Washer-dryer does not take in water (the indicator light for the first wash cycle stage flashes rapidly). The Washer-dryer continuously takes in and drains water. The Washer-dryer does not drain or spin. The Washer-dryer vibrates a lot during the spin cycle. The Washer-dryer leaks. The “Functions” indicator lights and the “start/pause” indicator light flash, while one of the “phase in progress” indicator lights and the “door locked” indicator light will remain lit in a fixed manner.
