Note:
This washer-dryer must always be earthed.

Correct use

• To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the washer-dryer, do not install it in place where it is damp or exposed to rainfall.
• Do not install the washer-dryer in direct sunlight, as this may damage the plastic components over time and shorten the life of the washer- dryer.
• Do not install the washer-dryer in place where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozenhoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
• Do not spray the washer-dryer with water when cleaning it.
• Keep the washer-dryer away from fire or heat sources.
• Before using the washer-dryer for the first time, check that the transit bolts at the rear of the machine have been removed. During spinning, transit bolts which are still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
• Turn off the tap if the machine is to be unused or unattended for an extended period (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
• Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine, which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.
• Do not wash water-repellent things (e.g. raincoats) in the washer-dryer.
• Only remove laundry from the washer-dryer once the drum has stopped turning. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous and could result in injury.

• Older children may only use the washer-dryer if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safety, recognising the dangers of misuse.
• For machine with a “porthole” door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not allow children to touch it.

Note:
Unscrew the drain pump filter to let water run out when the machine is not in use for an extended period.

OVERVIEW

Unpacking the machine

Note:
The artwork in this user guide is intended for reference only and may differ from the actual product.

• Remove all packaging (include the foam base) or vibration and noise may occur.
• Dispose all plastic wrapping safely and keep it out of the reach of children, as it presents a suffocation hazard.
• It is normal that some water drops may appear on the packing plastic and the door glass; this is a result of final quality control testing and is no cause for alarm.

Accessories
Make sure that you have received all of the items shown below. Do not dispose of any packaging before confirming.

**Removing transit bolts

**

• Remove all the transit bolts at the back of the machine with the appropriate tools.
• Plug the holes with the transit bolts caps supplied.
• Keep the transit bolts for future transportation. whenever the machine is transported, as the transit bolts must be refitted to avoid damage to the drum.

Note:
Strong vibration, noise or failures may occur if the transit bolts are not removed.

INSTALLATION

Positioning the machine

• A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washer-dryer, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or carpeted surface.
• The machine must be level and securely positioned. The distance between the machine and wall must be at least 10 cm.
• To avoid vibrations during spinning. the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.

Level adjustment

The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about during operation. If the machine is not level:

• Using a spanner, turn the locknut in a clockwise direction to loosen. Then turn locknuts together with adjust feet to unscrew.
• To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.

Note:
Vibration and noise may occur if the locknuts do not sit firmly up against the housing.

Drain hose connection

1. Directly into a sink If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any block/plug that may be in place. Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the washer-dryer. If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 4 m.
2. Connected securely to a standpipe Firstly, form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the plastic “U” piece supplied. Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 30mm, thus ensuring there is an air brake between the drain hose and standpipe. When discharging into a standpipe, ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90cm and no less than 60cm above floor level.

Water inlet connection

Connect the inlet hose supplied with the machine to a tap with a 3/4″ thread. Do not use hoses that have been previously installed with other machines. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations requirements.

Connect a water supply to the inlet valve at back of the machine. Follow the indication of the picture below to complete the connection.

Washing preparation

Clothes Preparation

• Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam.
• Make sure all the pockets are empty. Foreign objects (such as nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to other garments as well as the machine.
• Close any zips, fasten hooks and toggles, etc, before washing (figure 1)
• Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.
• Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be pre-treated with liquid detergent stain removers etc (figure 2)
• Turn over the clothes which pill easily and is with woollen surface before putting them into the machine (figure 3).

Washing Notes

1. Clothes with the “ ” logo on the tag, woollen clothes, silk, clothes containing leather or foam rubber, and clothes washed by volatile solvents such as detergents and gasoline should not be washed in the machine.
2. For drying hand-washed clothes, choose the highest spin speed to spin the clothes, then a suitable dry program.
3. The clothes being dried should not exceed the weight marked in the program options table above.
4. The drying cycle uses tap water, so ensure the tap is open and the water is cold.
5. If drying an excessive amount of clothing at one time is attempted, the drying cycle may take some time and the clothing may not be fully dried. If this is the case, dry the clothes in several parts.
6. For preventing the risk of burns, the machine will reduce the temperature of the drum before the dry program ends. It is normal that the time will stop on the display at this point. Do not stop the machine during the cooling process; if the temperature of the drum is still high, the door will not be open.
7. When the dry function is selected, the default spinning speed and time will be the max. The speed and time can be set according to the clothes to be washed.

Put clothes into washer

Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning. The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.

Note:
Make sure that no garments are caught between the door and the seal.

Adding detergent to the drawer

1. Open the drawer and add adequate detergent into main wash compartment marked “ ” or “ ”.
2. Add the fabric softener into compartment marked “ exceed the maximum level mark. ” or “ ”. Do not
3. Close the drawer.

The correct amount of detergent will depend on the following:

• The quantity of laundry
• The soiling level of the laundry
  • Lightly soiled: no visible dirt or stains. Possible slight body odour.
  • Normally soiled: visibly dirty and/or just a few slight stains.
  • Heavily soiled: visible dirt and stains and/or dried on soiling.
• The water hardness level.
  Note:
  It is recommended to use low foaming powder for all temperature washing programs. The third compartment of the detergent drawer is not usable.

Washing steps

1. Turn on the water tap and connect the power.
2. Open the door and put the clothes into the drum one by one.
3. Close the door and put suitable amount of detergent and fabric softener into the dispenser, then close the drawer.
4. Choose the desired program by turning the knob.
5. Press the “Temp.” button and select a wash temperature.
6. Press “Start/Pause” button to start the washer-dryer.
7. When the cycle is finished, an alert tone sounds.

Approximate drying times

IMPORTANT: Ensure the water inlet remains on when using the dryer function. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 6kg when drying clothes or machine will not function correctly.

Note:

• When washing cycle is finished, the machine will change into standby mode and the power will turn off after 10 minutes without any inputs to the control panel.
• The machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. To protect the machine, it will engage if the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 15 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and reselect the spin program.

IMPORTANT: Do not try to open the door when the washing cycle is not finished, or power supply is cut off during the washing cycle. The temperature may be high enough to present a risk of scalding or burning. When the machine is started, the door is locked. The door can be opened if you press the “Start/Pause” button during a cycle except for in the following two cases:

• If the temperature inside the drum is above 53°C, the door will remain locked.
• When the water is above a certain level, the door will remain locked.

In most cases, we recommend running a wash cycle to completion to drain the water. After it has finished, and two minutes of cool-down time has passed, the door will unlock. In an emergency, turn the program select knob to the “Off” position and wait 2 minutes to open the door.
CAUTION – Water may be hot, which could lead to scalding.

IMPORTANT: Do not try to open the door when the washing cycle is not finished, or power supply is cut off during the washing cycle. The temperature may be high enough to present a risk of scalding or burning
