• By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

• Temperature Each wash cycle has a pre-defined temperature. To modify the temperature, press the button.

• Drying Drying may be set as follows: – Based on the desired laundry dryness level:

• Iron “”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.

Hanger:
ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. Cupboard “ ”: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed. Based on a set time period: between 40 and 180 minutes. If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load, 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. A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand- washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured 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 the drum. Check all buttons.

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

Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

Observe the load sizes
Load your washer-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-dryer off and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the washer-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-dryer and help to prevent leaks. Unplug the washer- dryer when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Clean the washer-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. The washer-dryer has a “Auto-clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum. To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the quantity specified for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40 wash cycles. To start the cycle press buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds. The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.

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 in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Clean the pump
The washer-dryer is 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. 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;
4. 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

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.

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”.
