INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FITTER

Mounting the wooden panel onto the door and inserting the machine into cabinets: In the case where the machine must be shipped for final installation after the wooden panel has been mounted, we suggest leaving it in its original packaging. The packaging was designed to make it possible to mount the wooden panel onto the machine without removing it completely (see figures below). The wooden panel that covers the face of the machine must not be less than 13 mm in thickness and can be hinged on either the right or left. For the sake of practicality when using the machine, we recommend that the panel be hinged on the same side as the door for the machine itself – the left.

Door Mounting Accessories (Fig. 1-2-3-4-5).

• No. 6 type A self-threading screws, l =13 mm.
• No. 2 type B metric, countersunk screws, l =20; for fastening the magnet plate to the cabinet.
• No. 4 type C metric screws, l =20 mm; for mounting the hinge supports to the cabinet.
• No. 4 type D metric screws, l =7 mm; for mounting the hinges on the supports.

Mounting the Parts onto the Face of the Machine.

• Fit the hinge supports to the appliance front panel, positioning the hole marked with an arrow in fig. 1 so that it is on the inner side of the front panel. Fit a spacer (fig. 4/B) between the surfaces using type C screws.
• Fit the magnet plate at the top of the opposite side, using type B screws to fix two spacers (fig. 4/B and fig. 4) between the plate and the surface.

Using the Drilling Template.

1. To trace the positions of the holes on the lefthand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top left side of the panel using the lines traced on the extremities as a reference.
2. To trace the positions of the holes on the righthand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top right side of the panel.
3. Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.

Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door).

• Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part of the hinge must be positioned facing away from the panel) and fasten them with the 4 type A screws.
• Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side of the hinges and fasten it with the two type A screws.
• Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.
  The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.

Mounting the Panel into the machine.

Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in fig. 2) into the hole for the hinge and push the panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type D screws.

Fastening the plinth guide.

If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular cabinets, mount either one or both of the guides for the base molding (as shown in fig. 8).
Adjust them for depth based on the position of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten the base to the guides (fig. 9). This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8):

Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into the special slot and once it is in the desired position, lock it in place using angle P and screw R.

Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.

• Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the cabinets (fig. 6). – Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the appropriate height.
• To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the vertical and horizontal directions, use the C and D screws, as shown in fig. 7. Important: close the lower part of the appliance front and sides in case machine is installed at the end of set of modular cabinets, by ensuring that the plinth rests against the floor.
  
  

Accessories provided for the height adjustment.

The following can be found inside the polystyrene lid (fig. 10): 2 crossbars (G), 1 strip (M) the following can be found inside the appliance drum:

4 additional feet (H),
4 screws (I),
4 screws (R),
4 nuts (L),
2 plinth guides (Q)

Adjusting the appliance height.

The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from 815 mm to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet. Should you require the appliance to be placed higher than the above height, you need to use the following accessories to raise it to up to 870 mm: the two crossbars (G); the 4 feet (H); the 4 screws (I); the 4 nuts (L) then perform the following operations (fig. 11):

Lay down machine to back side, make sure, to do not damage drain hose and power supply cable. remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of the appliance, fastening it in place using screws I (screwing them in where the original feet were) then insert the new feet H. Repeat the same operation at the back of the appliance.

Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835 mm to 870 mm.

Once you have reached the desired height, lock nuts L onto crossbar G. To adjust the appliance to a height between 870 mm and 900 mm, you need to mount strip M, adjusting feet H to the required height. Insert the strip as follows: loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the Top cover of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in fig. 12, then fasten screws N.

• 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 proliferation of the main sources of unpleasant odours 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 stabilising on garments, thanks to slow drum rotations.

The Fresh Steam cycle starts at the end of the wash or drying cycle and continues for maximum 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.

Start Delay

Temperature

Each wash cycle has a pre-defined temperature. To modify the temperature, press the “Temp.” button. The value will appear on the display.

Spin

Each wash cycle has a pre-defined spin speed. To modify the spin speed, press the “Spin speed” button. The value will appear on the display.

Setting the drying cycle

The first time the button “Drying settings” is pressed, the machine will automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then the drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”).
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 which do not need to be dried fully.
  Iron : suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.

• B – Based on a set time period: 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 button “Dry only” to perform the drying-only cycle. After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments), press button “Dry only” to exclude the washing phase and start the drying phase at the maximum level for the selected cycle. The drying level or time may be set and changed by pressing the drying button “Drying settings”.

CHILD LOCK

to lock the control panel, press and hold the button “Dry only” for approximately 3 seconds. the symbol lights on the display to indicate that the control panel is locked (with the exception of the button). This prevents unintentional changes to programmes, especially with children near the machine.

If any attempt is made to use the control panel, the symbol flashes on the display.

To unlock the control panel, press and hold the button “Dry only” for approximately 3 seconds.

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.

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 a 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;

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”.

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.

the socket, or not sufficiently to make contact.
There is no power in the house.
The wash cycle does not start.| The washer dryer door is not closed properly.
The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
The START/PAUSE  button has not been pressed.
The water tap has not been opened.
A delay has been set for the start time.
The washer dryer does not fill with water (“H2O” flashes on the display).| The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
The hose is bent.
The water tap has not been opened.
There is no water supply in the house.
The pressure is too low.
The START/PAUSE  button has not been pressed.
The washer dryer continuously loads and unloads water.| The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor.
The free end of the hose is immersed in water.
The wall drainage system does not have a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and contact the Technical Assistance Service. If the home is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to back-siphonage, causing the washer dryer to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-siphon valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.

The washer dryer does not drain or spin.

| The cycle does not include drainage: with certain cycles it must be started manually.
The drain hose is bent.
The drainage duct is clogged.

The washer dryer vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

| The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation.
The washer dryer is not level.
The washer dryer is tucked between furniture cabinets and the wall.
The washer dryer leaks.| The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly.
The detergent dispenser drawer is obstructed.
The drain hose is not properly attached.
The “Options” and START/ PAUSE   indicator lights flash rapidly and the display visualises an error code (e.g.: F-01, F-…).| Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it back on again. If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service .
There is too much foam.| The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should be marked with “for washer dryer use” or “hand wash and machine wash” or similar).
Too much detergent was used.
The washer-dryer does not dry.| The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.
There has been a power failure.
The appliance door is not shut properly.
A DELAY TIMER has been set.
DRYING is in the OFF position.

DEMO MODE: to deactivate this function, switch the washer dryer OFF. Than press and hold “Start/Pause” button, within 5 seconds press also “ON/OFF” button and hold both buttons for 2 seconds.

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 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 used a hot wash programme, 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

Never lift the washing machine by holding it at the worktop.

1. Pull out the mains plug, and close the water tap.
2. Make sure that 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.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

BEFORE CALLING THE AFTER-SALES SERVICE

1. See if you can solve the problem by yourself with the help of the suggestions given in the TROUBLESHOOTING
