Wash and dry

To wash and dry a load with no interruption between the wash and dry cycles, make sure that the load does not exceed the maximum permissible drying load for the selected program (see the column “Max. load for drying cycle” in the Programme chart).

1. Follow the instructions given in the paragraph “Wash Only” to select and, if necessary, customize the required program.
2. Press “Paramètre de séchage” to select the required drying mode. Two drying modes are available: automatic or timer.

Automatic drying with selectable levels:

In automatic drying mode, the washer-dryer machine dries the laundry until the set level of dryness is reached. Pressing the button “Paramètre de séchage” once automatically selects the highest drying level available for the selected program. Press the button again to reduce the drying level.

The following levels are available:

• Wardrobe : The laundry is completely dry and ready to be put away in the wardrobe without ironing.
• Hanger : The laundry is left slightly damp to minimize creasing. Garments must be hung to air dry completely.
• Iron : garments are left reasonably damp to make ironing easier.

Timer drying mode:

Press the button “Paramètre de séchage” repeatedly to set the timer drying mode. After cycling through all the automatic drying levels, continue pressing the button “Paramètre de séchage” until the desired time is displayed. Values from 210 to 30 minutes are settable.

To wash a load of laundry larger than the maximum permissible load for drying (see the column “Max. load for drying cycle” in the Programme chart), remove a few garments once the washing cycle has finished before starting the drying cycle. Proceed as follows:

1. Follow the instructions given in the paragraph “Wash Only” to select and, if necessary, customize the required programme.
2. Do not include a drying cycle.
3. Once the washing cycle is finished, open the door and remove a few garments to reduce the load. Now follow the instructions for “Dry only”.

N.B.:

• Always allow a cooling down period after drying before opening the door.
• When using the two preset cycles “Lavage & Séchage 45’” and “Lavage & Séchage 90’”, it is not necessary to select and start a drying cycle.

Dry only

This function is used to simply dry a wet load washed previously in the washer and dryer or by hand.

1. Select a suitable program for the laundry you want to dry (e.g. select cotton to dry wet cotton laundry).
2. Press the button “Séchage seul” to dry without a wash cycle.
3. Press “Paramètre de séchage” to select the required drying mode. Two drying modes are available: automatic or timer.

CANCELLING A RUNNING PROGRAMME (IF NECESSARY)

• Press and hold the button until the washer and dryer stops.
• If the water level and temperature are low enough, the door unlocks and may be opened.
• The door remains locked if there is water in the drum. To unlock the door, switch the washer and dryer on, select the ESSORAGE & VIDANGE program, and turn the spin function off by setting the spin speed to 0. The water is emptied and the door unlocks at the end of the program.

SWITCHING THE WASHER DRYER OFF AT THE END OF A PROGRAM.

• Press to switch the washer and dryer off. To save energy, if the washer and dryer is not switched off manually with the button, it turns off automatically approximately 30 minutes after the end of the program.
• Leave the door ajar to let the interior of the washer dryer dry.

HINTS AND TIPS

RULES FOR SEPARATING LAUNDRY

• Fabric type/indications on the label (cotton, mixed fibers, synthetic, wool, handwash items)
• Color (separate colored garments from whites, wash new colored items separately)
• Size (wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficacy and weight distribution in the drum)
• Delicates (place small items – such as nylon stockings – and garments with clasps – such as braziers – in a laundry bag or in a pillowcase with a zip).

EMPTY POCKETS

• Objects such as coins or safety pins can damage laundry and the washer-dryer drum.

WASH SYMBOLS

ON GARMENT LABELS

• The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum temperature possible for washing the garment.

CLEAN THE WATER FILTER REGULARLY

This is needed to prevent the filter from blocking and preventing the water from draining correctly. See the section “Cleaning and Maintenance” / “Cleaning the water filter” in the detailed guide that may be requested or downloaded from the website.

SAVING ENERGY AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

• Keeping within the load limits indicated in the program chart will optimize energy, water, and detergent consumption and reduce washing times.
• Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 90°C wash programme, or by using a 40°C instead of a 60°C wash programme. We recommend using the “ Coton ” 60°C program for cotton garments, which is longer but uses less energy.
• To save energy and time when washing and drying, select the highest spin speed available for the program to reduce the residual water remaining in the garments at the end of the wash cycle.

PROGRAMME CHART

• Selectable/optional
• – Not selectable/applicable
• Required quantity
• Optional quantity

For wash programmes with temperatures above 50°C, we recommend using powder detergent rather than liquid and following the directions given on the detergent package.

• Select the ESSORAGE & VIDANGE programme and set the spin speed to 0 to empty only.

  • Test programme in compliance with standard EN 50229 (Wash): select the “ Coton ” programme with a temperature of 60°C.
  • Long cotton programme: set the “ Coton “ programme with a temperature of 40°C.

Test programme in compliance with standard EN 50229 (Drying): the greater load (6kg) must be dried by selecting the dryness level. The remainder of the load must be dried by selecting the dryness level: the load must consist of 2 sheets, 1 pillowcase and 1 hand towel.

The cycle duration indicated on the display or in the manual is an estimated time calculated for standard conditions. The actual cycle time may vary about several different factors, such as inlet water temperature and pressure, ambient temperature, quantity of detergent, size and type of load, load balancing, and any additional optional functions selected.
