1 HEALTH & SAFETY IMPORTANT ! When servicing the appliance, health and safety issues must be considered at all times. Specific safety issues are listed below with their appropriate icon. Electrical Safety Ensure the mains power has been disconnected before servicing the washing machine. If the mains supply is required to be on to service the washing machine, make sure it is turned off when removing any electrical component or connection to avoid electric shock.
2 INSTALLATION IMPORTANT! This machine must not be installed or operated on a plinth. 2.1 Location Install the machine on a solid and level floor surface ensuring it has at least 20 mm clearance on each side. The washer dryer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings (eg carpet, rugs). 2.2 Levelling It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure good spin performance, and to minimise noise,...

5 WASH AND DRY CYCLES The washer dryer has a number of wash, dry and continuous wash and dry cycles to suit your laundering needs. Selecting the most appropriate cycle for each particular wash and dry load will help ensure you get the best wash and dry result.
Page 17
Depends on your model of washer dryer (8.5kg/5kg, 7kg/4kg or 7.5kg/4kg) ** WD8560F1 and WD7560P1 models only. ‘Cottons’, ‘Wash, ‘40’°C, ‘1400’ rpm, ‘Eco’ selected is the recommended water and energy saving cycle for normally soiled, everyday washing. ‘Cottons’, ‘Dry’, ‘Dry’ (Dryness level), ‘Eco’, ‘1400’ rpm selected is the recommended energy saving cycle for drying of everyday cotton items.
6 WASH AND DRY CYCLE OPTIONS All wash and dry cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average load expected to be washed. You can vary the options (eg ‘Wash Temp’, ‘Spin Speed’) to create your desired cycle. Note: some options are not available on some cycles, for clothes care reasons, or because the option is not appropriate for the cycle.
6.3 Options Pre Wash For extra dirty loads you can perform a ‘Pre Wash’. Your washer dryer will start the wash with a short wash in cool water to remove excess soil. After this the machine will drain and then fill with the selected temperature for the main wash. Simply touch the ‘Options’...
6.7 Dryness Level Your washer dryer takes the guess work out of choosing drying times by sensing the dryness of the load. When your washer dryer senses that the clothes have dried to the dryness level you have selected, the washer dryer will automatically enter the cool down phase then finish the cycle.
6.10 Delay Start The ‘Delay Start’ option enables you to delay the start of the wash cycle from between 5 minutes and 12 hours. Times you can select are 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, then hourly up to 12 hours. This can be useful to time your washing or drying to finish when you arrive home from work, or to start once you have finished in the shower.
7 CUSTOMISING WASH AND DRY CYCLES After using your washer dryer a few times you may discover there are some wash or dry options you prefer for some cycles. You can programme your washer dryer to remember the wash and dry options you prefer for each cycle.

14.1 Load size Ensure that the machine is not being overloaded Maximum dryer load size for the WD8560F1 is 5kg Maximum dryer load size for the WD8060P1 and WD7560P1 is 4kg If overloaded the drying will take longer and in some cases restrict air flow so that drying is not completed and the cycle will time out at 5.5 hours but appear as if it has finished the cycle.
If the air flow is poor and or the heater is not working then the condenser and or heater assembly may be clogged with excessive lint. Note: The over heat thermostats may have tripped due to poor air flow. Check the condenser and fan assembly for lint When removing lint from the condenser pull the lint out from the top trying not to push it down further into the outer drum as this may cause the pump to block Check the over heat thermostats...
14.4 Initial condenser water valve test • Remove the detergent dispenser • Remove the top panel • With a pair of pliers pinch off the hose from the 'Y' connection to the condenser and observe the water flowing into the back of the dispenser, This should be a continual flow. Note: If this valve is not working the dryer may over heat and trip the overheat thermostats or fail to condense the moisture within the drum.
14.5 Further condenser water valve test If this valve is working it still may not be flowing fast enough causing clothing to feel damp at the end of the cycle. Water is needed to flow at 300mls/minute and is used to cool the condenser during the drying cycle. Failure to do so will effect performance.
