Care and maintenance

EN

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

To access the pre-chamber:

· Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in

1

the machine and help to prevent leaks.

· Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and

during all maintenance work.

2

Cleaning the machine
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

1
1 2
2

To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2) (see figure). Wash it under running water; this procedure should be repeated frequently.

Caring for your appliance drum
· Always leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The Washer-dryer is fitted with a selfcleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

1. take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see figures);
2. position a container so that it will collect the water which flows out (approximately 1.5 l) (see figure); 3. unscrew the lid by rotating it in an anticlockwise direction (see figure);
4. clean the inside thoroughly; 5. screw the lid back on; 6. 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.

Precautions and tips

! The machine was designed and constructed in accordance with international safety regulations. The following information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.
General safety
· This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
· This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. ­ Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer. ­ Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer. ­ Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer. ­ Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions. ­ The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged. WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
· Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or
damp hands or feet.
· Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull.
· Do not touch the drained water as it may reach
extremely high temperatures.

· 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.
· If it must be moved, proceed with the help of two or
three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
· 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).

· Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or similar elastomers.

EN

· Make sure that the water tap is turned on during

the drying cycles.

· Children of less than 3 years should be kept

away from the appliance unless continuou-

sly supervised.

· Remove all objects from pockets such as

lighters and matches.

conditioned environment.

Disposal · Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
· The European Directive 2012/19/EU relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re- using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. For more information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners should contact their local
authorities or appliance dealer.

Wash options
! If the selected option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle, this incompatibility will be signalled by the flashing of the indicator light and a sound alert (3 beeps); the option will not be activated. ! If the selected option is not compatible with another option that has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first option selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the button will remain lit in a constant manner.
Super Wash This option offers a high-performance wash due to the greater quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle, and due to the increased wash cycle duration, is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains.
Extra rinse By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal residual detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for skin which is sensitive to detergents. We recommend this option is used with a full load of washing, or when a large amount of detergent is required.

Easy Iron By selecting this option, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. Note: If you also want to run the drying cycle, this option is enabled only if combined with level “Iron”.
Time Saver If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle, thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.

If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible presence of dust in the air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a level basis. Coloureds: use this cycle to wash bright coloured clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright

Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin 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.

cycle the machine will automatically perform a delicate drying

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drain duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor. Alternatively, place the drain hose over the edge of a washbasin or bathtub, by fastening the guide
(which can be purchased at the technical assistance centre) to the tap. 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.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that: · the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law; · the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum power load indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine; · the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine. · the socket is compatible with the washing machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.
