• If the selected option is incompatible with another previously set option, only the most recent selection will remain active.

Fresh Steam
If associated with wash cycles, this option increases their performances by generating steam to block the proliferation of the main sources of unpleasant odors inside the appliance (exclusively for the wash). After the steam phase, the machine runs a delicate cycle with slow drum rotations. When the Fresh Steam option is associated with drying cycles, it prevents stubborn creases from stabilizing on garments, thanks to slow drum rotations.
The Fresh Steam cycle starts at the end of the wash or drying cycle and continues for a maximum of 6 hours; it can be interrupted at any time by pressing any button on the control panel, or by turning the knob. Wait roughly 5 minutes before opening the door.

Drying may be set as follows:

• A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
  • Cupboard suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed.
  • Hanger : ideal for clothes that do not need to be dried fully.
  • Iron : suitable for clothes that will need ironing afterward. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
• B – Based on a set time: between 210 and 30 minutes.

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent 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. Note: a cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.

Drying only
Press the button “Dry only” to perform the drying-only cycle. After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments), press the button“Dry only” to exclude the washing phase and start the drying phase at the maximum level for the selected cycle.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibers, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand- washed). Color (separate colored garments from whites, wash new colored garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).

Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washer dryer and drum. Check all buttons.

Follow the dosage recommendation/additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry, and saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent

Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programs in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration. Observe the load sizes
Load your washer and dryer up to the capacity indicated in the “PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy.

Noise and remaining moisture content
They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washer and dryer off and disconnect it from the main power. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the washer and dryer. Clean and maintain your washer-dryer periodically (at least 4 times per year).

Disconnect the water and power supplies

• Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washer and dryer and help prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washer and dryer when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Clean the washer and dryer
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.

Clean the detergent dispenser drawer
Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Care for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.

Clean the pump
The washer and dryer are fitted with an auto-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump.

Warning: Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;
2. clean the inside thoroughly;
3. screw the cover back on;

Check the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open.

• Never use hoses that have already been used.

LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM

LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and to distribute the load uniformly, the drum rotates continuously at a speed that 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.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Do not lift the washer dryer by gripping it from the upper section.
Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the filling hose from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the “Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The washer dryer may occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service, make sure that the problem cannot be easily solved using the following list.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WASHING MACHINE
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine.
Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar to clean the control panel – these substances might damage the printing.

CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer.

Depending on the hose type:

If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.

For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the hose must be replaced by a new one. For unscrewing this hose, press the release button (if available) while unscrewing the hose.

CLEANING THE MESH FILTERS IN THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

1. Close water tap and unscrew the inlet hose.
2. Clean the mesh filter at the hose’s end carefully with a fine brush.
3. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the back of the washing machine by hand. Pull out the mesh filter from the valve on the back of the washing machine with pliers and carefully clean it.
4. Insert the mesh filter again. Connect the inlet hose to the water tap and washing machine again. Do not use a tool to connect the inlet hose. Open the water tap and check that all connections are tight.

CLEANING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

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

CLEANING THE WATER FILTER / DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER

• Switch off and unplug the washing machine before cleaning the water filter or draining residual water. If you use a hot wash program, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water.
• Clean the water filter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the filter.
• If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water filter may be clogged.

1. Remove the kick panel: Using a screwdriver, do that which is shown in the following figure.
2. Container for the drained water: Place a low and wide container under the water filter in order to collect the residual water.
3. Drain the water: Slowly turn the filter counter-clockwise until all the water has come out. Allow the water to flow out without removing the filter. Once the container is full, close the water filter by turning it clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat the procedure until all the water has been drained.
4. Remove filter : Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove the water filter by turning it out anticlockwise.
5. Clean the water filter : remove residues in the filter and clean it under running water.
6. Insert the water filter and reinstall the plinth: Reinsert the water filter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the filter handle must be in vertical position. To test water tightness of the water filter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser. Then reinstall the plinth.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

1. Pull out the mains plug, and close the water tap.
2. Make sure that the door and detergent dispenser are properly closed.
3. Disconnect the inlet hose from the water tap, and remove the drain hose from your draining point. Remove all rest water from the hoses, and fix them so that they cannot get damaged during transport.
4. Refit the transport bolts. Follow the instructions for removing the transport bolts in the “Installation Guide” in reverse order.
   Important: Do not transport the washing machine without having fixed the transport bolts.
