OPTIONS

• If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be activated

Delay
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. To remove the delayed start setting, press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.
Temperature
Each wash cycle has a pre-defined temperature. To modify the temperature, press the 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 button . The value will appear on the display.
Drying
The first time the button 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:
Iron “A1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove. Hanger “A2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. Cupboard “A3”: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed.
B – Based on a set time period: between 30 and 210 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 “Dry 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.

Dry Only

Press button to perform the drying-only cycle. After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments), press button 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 .

Cleaning action

Option makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.
For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Intensive” level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn stains.
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate” level is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results that are perfect for delicate garments.

KEY LOCK

To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds. When the  symbol is lit, the control panel is locked (except for the ON/OFF button) . This will prevent accidental modifications to wash cycles, especially when children are at home. To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for approximately 2 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 washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the
“Wash Cycle Table” 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).

• Cutting off the water and electricity 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.

• Cleaning 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 programme press button for 5 seconds.
  The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.

• Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
  Remove the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it under running water; this procedure should be effected regularly.

• Caring for the door and drum
  Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

• Cleaning the pump
  The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-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 that t~he wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber:

1. remove the covering panel on the front side of the machine by inserting a screwdriver in the centre and sides of the panel and using it as a lever;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cover back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before pushing the panel onto the appliance.

Checking 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.

ACCESSORIES

Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washer-dryer model.
Stacking kit
With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washer-dryer to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.

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
“Installation instructions”.
