!Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washer-dryer to inform the new owner as to its operation and features.

!Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washer-dryer.
2. Check whether the washer-dryer has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

1. Remove the four protective screws and the rubber bush with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see also the installation leaflet).

NB:The plastic spacers may fall down inside the machine once the bolt

has been removed, and will not interfere with the operation of the machine.

1. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
2. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

!Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or other.

1. 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 according to the worktop, must not exceed 2^ .

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the washer-dryer.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe to the water mains, fitting the rubber gasket and the filter supplied with the appliance and ensuring that they are firmly tightened to the taps.

The water supply marked

C must be connected to

the cold water tap; the pipe marked H must be connected to the hot water tap. Both pipes may be connected to the cold water tap using the special Y connection with multiple attachments, supplied with the appliance (see figure).

Before making the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

1. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washer-dryer, screwing it onto the appliance's cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand side on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

2. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table (on the next page).
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water through. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus prevent water reaching the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

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 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.

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);

• the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical details table (see page 5);

• the socket is compatible with the washer-dryer'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.

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.

Notes

-For programme 9, we advise against exceeding a wash load of 3.5kg
-For programme 13 we advise against exceeding a wash load of 2kg
-For the anti-crease function: see Easy iron, opposite page. The information contained in the table is purely indicative.

Special programme

Daily (programme 11 for Synthetics) is designed to wash lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows you to save on both time and energy. By setting this programme (11 at 30^ ), you can wash different fabrics together (except for woolen and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.

We recommend the use of liquid detergent.

Setting the temperature

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Programme table on page 8).

The temperature can be lowered, or even set to a cold wash (3).

Set the drying cycle

Turn the DRYING knob to set the desired drying type.

Two options are available:

A - Based on time: From 40 minutes to 150.

B - Based on the damp level of the dry clothes:

Iron: slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.

Hanger: dry clothes to put away.

Cupboard: very dry clothes, recommended for towelling and bathrobes.

A cooling stage is foreseen at the end of the drying cycle.

If your laundry load to wash and dry is exceptionally in excess of the maximum load foreseen (see table opposite), perform

the wash cycle, and when the programme is complete, divide up the garments and put part of them back in the drum. Now follow the instructions provided for a dry only cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.

Dry only

Turn the PROGRAMME knob to one of the drying settings (7-8) depending on the type of fabric, then select the desired drying type using the DRYING knob.

Important: - A spin cycle is carried out during the drying if you have set a cotton programme and a level of dryness (Cupboard, Hanger, Iron).

• For cotton loads of less than 1Kg , use the drying programme designed for delicate fabrics.

Functions

To enable a function:

1. press the button corresponding to the desired function, according to the table below;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding button is illuminated.

Note: The rapid flashing of the button indicates that the corresponding function cannot be selected for the programme set.

Function	Effect	Comments	Enabled with programmes:

Acrylics	Pyjamas, socks, etc.	1	65	60	60
Nylon	Slips, tights, stockings, etc.	1	65	60	60

Detergent dispenser

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder)

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the wash cycle start.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.

! Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.

Preparing your laundry

• Divide your laundry according to:
• the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
• the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Do not exceed the weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry:

Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg

Wool: 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 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g

Special items

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 6 which excludes the spin cycle automatically.

Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2 - 3kg , repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1kg .

! The Washer-dryer was designed and built in compliance with the applicable international safety regulations. The following information is provided for your safety and should consequently be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance has been designed for non-professional, household use and its functions must not be changed.
• This washing machine should only be used by adults and in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.
• Never touch the washing machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the plug out yourself.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser while the appliance is in operation.
• Do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures.
• Never force the washing machine door: this could damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent any accidental openings.
• In the event of a malfunction, do not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while in operation.
• The appliance door tends to get quite hot during the wash cycle.
• Should it have to be moved, proceed with the help 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 your laundry into the washing machine, 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.
• This washer-dryer can only be used to dry clothes which have been pre-washed in water.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging material: observe local regulations, so the packaging can be re-used.
• Disposing of an old Washer-dryer: before scrapping your appliance, cut the power supply cable and remove the appliance door.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Environmentally-friendly technology

If you only see a little water through your appliance door, this is because thanks to the latest Ariston technology, your washing machine only needs less than half the amount of water to get the best results: an objective reached to respect the environment.

Saving on detergent, water, energy and time

• To avoid wasting resources, the Washer-dryer should be used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy.
• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy.
• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them to soak before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high temperatures. A programme at 60^ instead of 90^ or one at 40^ instead of 60^ will save up to 50% on energy.
• Use the correct quantity of detergent depending on the water hardness, how soiled the garments are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the environment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener as much as possible.
• If you use your washing machine from late in the afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board's peak load. The Delay Timer option (see page 9) helps to organise your wash cycles accordingly.
• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer, select a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying process.

Cutting off the water or electricity supply

• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks.
• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.

Cleaning your appliance

The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).

Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Caring for your appliance door and drum

• Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The Washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same.

! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front of the Washer-dryer (see figure);

1. unscrew the lid rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

2. clean the interior thoroughly;

3. screw the lid back on;
4. 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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

! Never use hoses that have already been used.

Your washer-dryer could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 14), make sure the problem can't easily be solved by consulting the following list.
