Warnings and Precautions

• WARNING: never stop a washer dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the washer dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as a washer dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil, Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-effected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a washer dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

• After installation, the appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the washer dryer, in such way that a full opening of the washer dryer door is restricted.

• If the washing machine is built-in, unscrew the 3 or 4 transportation screws (A) and remove the 3 or 4 flat washers, rubber bungs and plastic spacer tubes (B).
• During the removal of the screws occasionally spacer tubes fall inside the product, these can be remove by tilting the product forward and recovering them from the floor or inside the base of the machine.
• Cover the open transportation screw holes with the 2 or 4 plastic caps included in the instruction bag.
• WARNING: keep packaging materials away from children.
• Place the corrugated plastic sheet, found on top of the appliance during the unpacking process, into the base of the appliance as shown in figure 2 (according to the model, consider version A, B or C). In some models this operation will not be necessary, because the corrugated plastic sheet will be already placed on the bottom of the appliance.

Instructions for mounting the furniture door

• Position the template onto the reverse of the furniture door. It is possible to mount the hinges and closure magnet on the right or left-hand side depending on your requirements. Mark the screw hole positions, then drill out these positions.
• Fix the hinges in place with the 4 screws provided (A).
• Fix the magnet (B) in place using screw (C).
• Mount the plate (D) on the right or left-hand side, depending on your installation requirements. Place the plastic support (E) under the plate and fix it in position with screw (F).

Mounting and Levelling

• Mount the furniture door to the front of the washer using the hinges. Fix the spacers (I) in place with the 2 screws (J) and then fix the hinges with 2 screw (H). We suggest mounting the furniture door so that it opens towards the left, which is the same direction as the porthole door. This will leave more space when you are loading washing into the appliance.
• Slide the washer into an opening of the size indicated in the diagram opposite. A furniture plinth may be run across the front of the appliance, but its height will be dictated by the height the washer is set at.
• The 4 adjustable feet allow the height of the washer to be adjusted from 820 mm to a maximum of 840 mm. To adjust the height, you should remove the nuts fitted to each foot and replace these with the 5 mm nuts supplied. Raise the feet to your desired height and then fully tighten the lock nut to the base of the washer.

Hydraulic connections

• Connect the water hose to the water supply tap (fig. 3) only using the hose supplied with the appliance (do not reuse old hose-sets).
• SOME MODELS may include one or more of the following features:
• HOT&COLD (fig. 4): water mains connection settings with hot and cold water for higher energy savings. Connect the grey tube to the cold water tap and the red one to the hot water tap. The machine can be connected to the cold water tap only: in this case, some programs may start a few minutes later.
• AQUASTOP (fig. 5): a device located on the supply tube that stops water flow if the tube deteriorates; in this case, a red mark will appear in the window "A" and the tube must be replaced. To unscrew the nut, press the one-way lock device "B".
• AQUAPROTECT – SUPPLY TUBE WITH GUARD (fig. 6): Should water leak from the primary internal tube "A", the transparent containment sheath "B" will contain water to permit the washing cycle to complete. At the end of the cycle, contact the Customer Service Centre to replace the supply tube.

Setting

• The washing machine should be installed in its final position such that the water fill hose is not kinked or trapped. The corrugated drain hose should be inserted into suitable drain pipe of between 50 cm and 85 cm height above the floor using the curved drain hose support. If an under sink connection is used the drain hose must be routed above the sink overfill opening to prevent back siphoning. Care must be taken to avoid kinking or trapping the drain hose (fig. 7).
• Level the appliance using the feet as illustrated in figure 8: a. turn the nut clockwise to release the screw; b. rotate the foot to raise or lower it until it touches to the floor; c. lock the foot, screwing in the nut, until it tightens against to the bottom of the washing machine.
• Plug in the appliance.
• WARNING: contact the Customer Service Centre should the power cord need replacement. Installation faults are not covered by the manufacturers warranty.

3. DETERGENT DRAWER

The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments as illustrated in figure 9:

• compartment "1": for prewash detergent;
• compartment " ": for special additives, softeners, starch fragrances, etc.;
• compartment "2": for washing detergent.

WARNING: only use liquid products; the washing machine is set to automatically dose additives at each cycle during the last rinse.

WARNING: some detergents are not designed for use in the dispenser drawer but are supplied with their own dispenser that is placed in the drum directly.

4. PRACTICAL HINTS

Load tips

When sorting laundry, make sure:

• have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;
• to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;
• to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;
• to have carefully read clothing washing labels;
• to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.

When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.

To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed. Check the fabric label.

Leave the appliance's door slightly open between washes, to prevent possible bad smells developing inside the machine.

Useful advice for saving

Tips on how to save money and not damage the environment when using your appliance.

• Load the machine to the highest capacity shown in the programme table for each programme - this will allow you to SAVE energy and water.
• Noise and residual laundry moisture are affected by spin speed: a faster spin is associated with greater noise and lower residual moisture in the laundry.
• The most efficient programmes in terms of combined use of water and energy are usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperature.

Maximise the load size

Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

For heavily soiled laundry only! SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save energy by using a low temperature wash programme.

Before using a drying programme (WASHER-DRYERS)

SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Dosing the detergent

Below is a short guide with tips and advice on the use of detergent.

• Only use detergents suitable for machine washing.
• Select your detergent according to the type of fabric (cotton, delicates, synthetics, wool, silk, etc.), the colour, the type and level of soiling and the programmed washing temperature.
• To use the right amount of detergent, softener or any other additives, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions every time: correctly using the appliance with the right dose allows you to avoid waste and to reduce the environmental impact.

Detergent Usage Advice

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for "white" or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or "colour protecting" powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

• Too much detergent leads to excessive foam, which prevents the cycle being carried out correctly. It could also affect the quality of the washing and rinsing.

The use of ecological detergents without phosphates may cause the following effects:

• cloudier rinse drain water: This effect is tied to the suspended zeolites which do not have negative effects on rinse efficiency.
• white powder (zeolites) on laundry at the end of the wash: this is normal, the powder is not absorbed by fabric and does not change its colour. To remove the zeolites, select a rinse programme. In the future consider using slightly less detergent.
• foam in the water at last rinse: this does not necessary indicate poor rinsing. Consider using less detergent in future washes.
• abundant foam: This is often due to the anionic surfactants found in the detergents which are hard to eliminate from laundry. In this case, do not re-rinse to eliminate these effects: it will not help at all. We suggest conducting a maintenance wash using a proprietary cleaner.

If the problem persists or if you suspect a malfunction, immediately contact an Authorised Customer Service Centre.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Looking after your appliance correctly can extend its lifespan.

Cleaning the appliance's exterior

• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
• Clean the appliance's external cabinet, using a damp cloth and AVOIDING ABRASIVES, ALCOHOL AND/OR DILUENTS.

Drawer cleaning

• It is advisable to regularly clean the detergent drawer to avoid the accumulation of detergent and additive residues.
• Remove the drawer gently but firmly.
• Clean the drawer under running water and put it back into its compartment.

Cleaning the pump filter

• The appliance has a special filter that traps larger residues that could block the draining system, such as buttons or coins (depending on the model, consider version A or B).
• We recommend checking and cleaning the filter 5 or 6 times a year.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
• Ensure all the water has been emptied from the drum.
• Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry. A small amount of water will come out of the filter as you remove it - this is normal.
• Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop.
• Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise. The filter handle will be locked when it is not possible to turn any further and the handle is horizontal. Smearing a small amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will help refitting.
• Repeat the previous steps in reverse order to reassemble all parts.

Suggestions for moves or prolonged disuse

• If the appliance is kept in a non-heated room for long periods of time, all water residues must be completely removed from the pipes.
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply socket.
• Detach the tube from the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.
• Secure the drain tube with the drainage system and clip on the rear of the machine when finished.
• Keep the door glass and gasket clean.

Programmes selection

To clean different types of fabrics and various levels of dirt, the washing machine has specific programs to meet every need of washing (see table of programmes).

WASHING

Whites

An intensive wash. The final spin at maximum speed gives more efficient removal.

Cotton + Prewash

This programme has been designed to remove the stronger stains from cotton white clothes. The prewash guarantees the tough dirt removal. Add into compartment "1" a quantity of detergent equal to 20% of that used for main wash.

ECO 40-60

The ECO 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40°C or 60°C, together in the same cycle. This programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU Ecodesign legislation (environmentally friendly products design).

Wash and Dry (ECO 40-60 + )

The WASH AND DRY cycle is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40°C or 60°C, together in the same cycle, and to dry it in such a way that it can be immediately stored in a cupboard. This programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU Ecodesign legislation (environmentally friendly products design).

20°C

This innovative programme, allows you to wash different fabrics and colours together, such as cottons, synthetics and mixed fabrics at only 20°C and provides an excellent cleaning performance. Consumption on this program is about 40% of a conventional 40°C. cottons wash.

Mixed

The washing and rinsing optimise the speed and rhythm of the drum action and water levels. The gentle spin, ensures a reduced formation of creases in the fabric.

Delicates

This program has reduced periods of drum rotation during the cycle and is particularly suitable or washing delicate fabrics. The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with a high level of water to ensure the best performance.

Rinse

This program performs 3 rinses with an intermediate spin (which can be reduced or excluded by using the appropriate button). It is used for rinsing any type of fabric, for example after a wash carried out by hand.

Spin

The programme carries out a maximum spin. It is possible to delete or reduce the spin with the SPIN SPEED button.

Drain

This programme drains out the water.

Rapid (14'-30'-44')

Washing cycle suggested for low loads and slightly dirty. With this program it is recommended to reduce the quantity of detergent normally used, in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Selecting the RAPID program and acting on the button you can choose one of three programs available.

Shirts

The washing cycle is optimized to reduce the creation of creases, keeping an excellent washing performance. It is also possible to further reduce the spin speed, to ensure an easier ironing.

Wool

This program performs a wash cycle dedicated to the wool fabrics that can be washed in a washing machine, or the articles to be washed by hand.

Handwash

Program for hand wash only clothes, the program ends with 3 rinses and a slow spin.

DRYING

WARNING: Dispensers used for concentrated powders and liquid detergents must be removed from the drum before commencing the tumble drying programmes.

The drum changes direction during the drying cycle to prevent the laundry from tangling and producing even more drying.

Cool air is used during the last 10/20 minutes of the drying cycle to minimize creasing.

Synthetics Dry

Low temperature drying programme recommended for synthetics and mixed fibres (always refer to the laundry care label).

Cotton Dry

High temperature drying programme recommended for cottons and linen items (always refer to the laundry care label).

8. DRYING CYCLE

Drying guidance advice is general, but practical experience of using the product will help you to achieve the best drying results.

We recommend setting a lower drying time than indicated, when first using the appliance in order to establish the degree of dryness required.

We recommend not drying fabrics that fray easily, such as rugs or garments with a deep pile, in order to avoid air duct clogging.

We recommend that you sort the laundry by the following methods:

• By drying care symbols, which are displayed on the clothing labels
  • Suitable for tumble drying.
  • Tumble dry at high temperature.
  • Tumble dry at low temperature only.
  • DO NOT tumble dry.
• If the fabric does not have a care label, you should assume that it is not suitable for drying.
• By size and thickness Whenever the wash load is bigger than the drying capacity, separate the clothes according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).
• By fabric type Cottons/linen: towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen. Synthetics: blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamide, as well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.
• Only dry pre-spun laundry.

The correct way to dry

• Open the door.
• Fill with the laundry, not exceeding the maximum drying load indicated in the programme table. For large items (e.g. sheets) or very absorbent items (e.g. towels or jeans), it is a good idea to reduce the load.
• Close the door.
• Turn the programme dial to the more suitable drying programme for your laundry.
• The washer dryer can perform the following types of drying:
  • Synthetics Dry - Low temperature drying programme recommended for mixed fabrics (synthetics/cotton) synthetic fabrics.
  • Cotton Dry - High temperature drying programme recommended for cotton, terry toweling, linen, hemp fabrics, etc...
• Select the degree of dryness that you require:
  • EXTRA DRY (suitable for towels, bathrobes and bulky loads).
  • IRON DRY (that leaves the laundry ready for ironing).
  • CUPBOARD DRY (for items that will be put away without ironing).

By selecting the wool drying programme, it's not possible to select a degree of dryness different from the default one.

• The washer dryer will calculate the time needed for drying and the level of moisture remaining in the laundry, according to the load and drying type selected.
• Check that the tap is turned on and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly.
• WARNING: Do not dry woollen garments or articles with special padding (e.g. quilts, quilted anoraks, etc.) and very delicate fabrics. If garments are drip/dry, load less items as to prevent creasing.
• Press the START/PAUSE button (the display will show the drying time remaining).

The appliance calculates the time to the end of the selected programme based upon a standard loading. During the cycle, the appliance corrects the time according to the size and composition of the load.

During the drying phase the drum will accelerate to a higher speed to distribute the load and to optimize the drying performance.

• When the programme is finished the word "End" will appear on the display. After 5 minutes the appliance will go into standby mode (on certain models, the display will show two lines).
• Switch off the machine by turning the programme selector to the OFF position.
• Open the door and remove the laundry.
• Turn off the tap.

CANCELLING THE DRYING PROGRAMME

• To cancel the drying programme, press and hold the DRYING SELECTION button for about 3 seconds.

WARNING: After cancelling the drying programme, the cool down phase will begin and you must wait for about 10/20 minutes before opening the door.

In order to ensure the correct operation of the appliance, it is advisable not to interrupt the drying phase unless it is absolutely necessary.

9. AUTOMATIC WASHING/DRYING CYCLE
