Connecting the electricity and water supplies

Unpacking and levelling

Connecting the water inlet hose

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 provided. 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°.

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a ¾ 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 Washer-dryer by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top righthand 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.

Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

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;

GB 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 alternatively, rest it on the side of a washbasin or bathtub, 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.

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.

Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then the drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely ("OFF"). Drying may be set as follows: A- 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; "A1" appears on the display. Hanger dry: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully; "A2" appears on the display. Cupboard dry: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed; "A3" appears on the display. Extra dry: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such as sponges and bathrobes; "A4" appears on the display. B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes. 6

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent table), 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. N.B: 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 (11-12) in accordance with the type of fabric.

Wash options 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. This function may not be used in conjunction with cycles 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , , . Easy iron By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases.

This option can be used in conjunction with all cycles.

Detergents and laundry

GB 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 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 dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as 3 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 • 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 listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry: Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg Wool: max. 1,5 kg Silk: max. 1 kg How much does your laundry weigh?

sheet 400-500 g pillow case 150-200 g tablecloth 400-500 g bathrobe 900-1200 g towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 6, even those carrying the "hand-wash label. For best results, use special only" detergents and do not exceed 1,5 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. 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 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 35 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.

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 touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet.

Opening the porthole door manually

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull.

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:

• 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.

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).

• 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).

4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop

• 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.

Disposal • Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used. • The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream.

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.

Care and maintenance

GB Cutting off the water and electricity supplies • 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.

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 pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation 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 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 screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the Washer-dryer (see figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance • Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

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.
