Installation ! 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 familiarise 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 packa-

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°. 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

1. Connect the inlet

hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figu- re). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely un- til 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 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.GB

drum capacity 71 litres Spin speed up to 1600 rotations per minute Energy rated programmes according to regulation EN 50229 Wash: programme 8; tem- perature 60°C; using a load of 10 kg. Drying: the greater load (7kg) must be dried by selecting the “EXTRA” dryness level. The remainder of the load must be dried by selecting the “EXTRA” dryness level: the load must consist of 3 sheets, 2 pillowcases and 1 hand towel. This appliance conforms to the following EC Directives: - EMC 2014/30/EU (Electro- magnetic Compatibility) - LVD 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage) - 2012/19/EU (WEEE) 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, place the drain hose over the edge of a wa- shbasin or bathtub, by fastening the guide (which can be purchased at the technical assi- stance centre) 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 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 extreme- ly dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather conditions. ! When the washing machine has been instal- led, 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 re- sponsible 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 auto clean (see “Cleaning the wa- shing machine”).4

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. 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 running a cleaning program- me every 40 wash cycles. To activate the programme, press the but- ton for 5 seconds then press START/PAUSE to start the programme, which will last roughly 70 minutes.

How to run a wash cycle or a drying cycle

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

the text HOTPOINT 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”.

SELECTOR knob to select the desired 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 and/or spin speed. The machine automatically selects the maximum temperature and spin speed set for the selected wash cycle; these values cannot therefore be increased. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash (the display will visualise the “--” symbol) setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the display will visualise the “--” symbol). If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored. ! Exception: if the 5 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 40°C. ! Exception: if the 7 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C. ! Exception: if the 9 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°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. To remove the delayed start function press the button until the text “-- h” 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 30 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 Press button to perform the drying-only cycle. After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments), press button to exclude the washing phase and start the drying phase at the maximum level for the selected cycle. The drying level or time may be set and changed by pressing the drying button . (Not compati- ble with cycles 1-2-3-4 and 14). Set the rinse type. Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra +1” 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 “Extra +2” 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 “Extra +3” 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 “No Selection” or “No Change”. Modifying the cycle settings.

7. START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/PAUSE

button. The corresponding indicator light will become green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be on). During the wash cycle, the name of the phase in progress will appear on the display. To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washer-dryer using the START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in an orange colour); then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted.

8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This will be indicated

by the text “CYCLE END” on the display; when the DOOR LOCKED symbol switches off the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine. ! If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, press and hold the button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off. Direct Injection The washer-dryer is equipped with the innovative technology «Direct Injection» which pre-mixes water and detergent, thus immediately activating the detergent’s cleaning principles. This active emulsion is directly introduced into the drum of the washer-dryer and penetrates the fibres with more efficacy in cleaning even heavily soiled garments at low temperatures, fully preserving colours and fabrics. The mode «Power» ensures the best cleaning performance and the mode «EcoEnergy» allows more energy saving.GB

Wash cycles and functions Table of wash cycles Wash functions ! If the selected function is incompatible with the set pro- gramme, the relevant indicator light will appear dimly lit; in addition, the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) and the wording “No Selection” will appear on the display. ! If the selected function is incompatible with another pre- viously set function, the wording “No Selection” will appear on the display and the function will not be enabled. Steam Hygiene This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during the wash cycle to remove any bacteria from the fibres, which are treated at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a compatible programme and select option . ! The steam generated during the operation of the washing machine may cause the porthole door to become hazy.

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. ! 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. ! Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*). compartment 1: Deter- gent 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. 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 Daily Mix Wash & Dry use programme 1 to wash and dry mixed garments (cotton and synthetics). This cycle may be used to wash and dry loads of up to 3 kg; we recommend the use of liquid detergent. The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to re- duce the formation of creases on garments, making them easier to iron. Shirts Wash & Dry: use programme 2 to wash and dry shirts and T-shirts in different fabrics and colours to ensure maximum care. This cycle may be used to wash and dry loads of up to 2 kg. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains. The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the for- mation of creases on garments, making them easier to iron. Pre Iron: use this programme immediately before ironing; max. 1.5 kg load. The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the formation of creases on gar- ments, making them easier to iron. Steam Refresh: for refreshing garments, neutralised unple- asant odours and relaxing the fibres by delivering steam into the drum. The garments will be damp at the end of the cycle. Anti-Stain Turbo 45’: this cycle ensures excellent stain removal capacity even at 20°C in just 45 minutes. The tem- perature of this cycle can be increased up to 40°C. Anti-Stain Power 20°C: this programme ensures ma- ximum stain removal capacity with no need for pre-treat- ment at low temperatures, preserving fabrics and colours. Multi Colour: for washing coloured cotton garments. This programme is optimised to keep colours bright even after repeated washing. Ultra Delicates: use programme 11 to wash very delica- te garments having strasses or sequins. We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delica- tes. 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 --> 165 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 - 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 washer- dryer. (M1135) Sport: for washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, towels, 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. 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. Detergents and laundry

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: The washer-dryer does not switch on. The wash cycle does not start. The washer-dryer does not take in water (the text “NO WATER, Turn tap on” appears on the display). 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 machine is locked and the display flashes, indicating an error code (e.g. F-01, F-..). There is too much foam. The washer-dryer does not dry. Possible causes / Solutions:
