This symbol reminds you to read this instruction manual.
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.
Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.
The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table.
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.
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.
Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap
If it is placed 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.
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:
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.
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. Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either: the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
or:
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket.
Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:
the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow -- Earth
Blue --Neutral
Brown --Live
As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red.
Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black.
If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board. If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use. How to connect an alternative plug: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE -- NEUTRAL (N)
BROWN -- LIVE (L)
GREEN & YELLOW --EARTH (E)
Disposing of the appliance:
When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body and dispose of it as described above.
The washer-dryer should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even where the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to damp, rain and thunderstorms.
When the washer-dryer is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach.
Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.
The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman.
The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.
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 1.

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.
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.
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:
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.

The information contained in the table is intended as a guide only.
For all Test Institutes:
Sport Intensive (wash cycle 8) is for washing heavily soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load indicated in the "Table of 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.
Special 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.
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles).
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash . The washer-dryer will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle.
Turn the DRYING knob to select the desired drying 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 Table of wash cycles), 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.
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 time may also be set using the DRYING knob.
The various wash functions available with this washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
Note:
Delay timer
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 option press the button until the text "OFF" appears on the display.
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.
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 follows.
Do not pour detergent into the compartment
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
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 5, even those carrying the "hand-wash only" label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry.
Silk: use special wash cycle 6 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 6.
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 7.
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.
