Personalisation

Setting the temperature

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.

Setting the drying cycle

Turn the DRYING knob to set the desired drying type.
Two options are available:
A - Based on time: from 40 to 180 minutes.
B - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they
have been dried:
Iron : slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.
Hanger : dry clothes to put away.
Cupboard : very dry clothes, recommended for to-
welling and bathrobes.
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: when the drying is complete there is a cooling period, even though the DRYING knob is in the
Drying only
Turn the WASH CYCLE knob to one of the drying settings (11-12-13) according to the type of fabric, then select the
desired drying duration using the DRYING knob.

Functions

The various wash functions available with this Washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction
with the selected wash cycle.
Eco wash
The Eco Wash function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the envi-
ronment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the
same average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.

tion, this function offers a high-performance wash.
