Installation

[!] This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference. If the washer dryer is sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its operation and features.

[!] Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the washer dryer from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washer dryer has not been damaged during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective screws (used during transportation) and the rubber washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washer dryer needs to be moved to another location.

[!] Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

1. Install the washer dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washer dryer.

Connecting the electricity and water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4" threaded connection (see figure). Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose to the washer dryer by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

[!] The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details table (see next page).

[!] If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.

[!] Never use second-hand hoses.

[!] Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drainage duct or a wall drain located at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor.

Alternatively, place the drain hose over the edge of a washbasin or bathtub, by fastening the guide (which can be purchased at the technical assistance centre) to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be underwater.

[!] We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law;
• the socket is able to sustain the appliance's maximum power load indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine;
• the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine.
• the socket is compatible with the washing machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug; it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance, please read the instructions below.

[!] WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE Earthed.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:

• the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
• or: the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket.

Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

• Green & Yellow: Earth
• Blue: Neutral (N)
• Brown: Live (L)

As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
• Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red.
• Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used, it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.

If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

Diagram description: A diagram shows the wiring of a plug, illustrating the connection of Blue wire to N, Brown wire to L, and Green & Yellow wire to E, with a cord grip and fuse indicated.

[!] The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using wash cycle 2.

Disposing of the appliance:

When disposing of the appliance, please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body and dispose of it as described on the previous page.

[!] The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even where the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to damp, rain and thunderstorms.

[!] When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach.

[!] Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

[!] The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.

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):

• Fig. 1: No. 2 Hinge Supports
• Fig. 2: No. 2 Hinges
• Fig. 3: No. 1 Magnet
• Fig. 4: No. 1 Magnet plate
• Fig. 5: No. 1 Rubber plug
• Fig. 4/B: No. 4 Spacers

Screw List:

• No. 6 type A self-threading screws, length = 13 mm.
• No. 2 type B metric, countersunk screws, length = 25; for fastening the magnet plate to the cabinet.
• No. 4 type C metric screws, length = 15 mm; for mounting the hinge supports to the cabinet.
• No. 4 type D metric screws, length = 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) between the plate and the surface.

Using the Drilling Template:

• To trace the positions of the holes on the left-hand 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.
• To trace the positions of the holes on the right-hand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top right side of the panel.
• Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.

Mounting 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 B 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 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): 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.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. 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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. Unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;
2. Clean the inside thoroughly;
3. Screw the lid back on;

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

[!] Never use second-hand hoses.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

• 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 which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

[!] Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

Wash cycles

Table of wash cycles

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

For all Test Institutes:

• 1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 60°C.
• 2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.

Specials wash cycles

Mix 15' (wash cycle 8): this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly; it lasts just 15 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (8 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

Daily 30' (wash cycle 9): this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly; it lasts just 30 minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (9 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.

Personalisation

Setting the temperature

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles).

The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ).

The washer-dryer will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash cycle.

[!] Exception: if the 5 programme is selected, the temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°C.

Setting the drying cycle

Turn the DRYING knob to set the desired drying type. Two options are available:

• A - Based on time: from 40 to 180 minutes.
• B - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have been dried:

Iron: slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.
Hanger: dry clothes to put away.
Cupboard: very dry clothes, recommended for towelling and bathrobes.

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent table), 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.

N.B: When the drying is complete there is a cooling period, even though the DRYING knob is in the position.

Drying only

Turn the WASH CYCLE knob to one of the drying settings (11-12-13) according to the type of fabric, then select the desired drying duration using the DRYING knob.

Functions

The various wash functions available with this washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time.

To activate the functions:

1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. The function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.

Note:

• If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash and the function will not be activated.
• If a function which is incompatible with another function selected previously, only the most recent selection will remain active.

1/2 Spin

By selecting this function, reduces the spin speed.

Super Wash

Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.

Extra rinse

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

Delay timer

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 9 hours. Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled.

N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to environmental pollution.

[!] Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

[!] Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

[!] Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.

Diagram description: Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

[!] Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

This option is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains. Place extra compartment 4 (supplied) into compartment 1.

When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level marked on the central pivot (see figure).

To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and any fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired wash cycle and enable the "Super Wash" option. The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the "Pre-wash" option.

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to: the type of fabric/the symbol on the label; the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry: see "Table of wash cycles".

How much does your laundry weigh?

• 1 sheet: 400-500 g
• 1 pillow case: 150-200 g
• 1 tablecloth: 400-500 g
• 1 bathrobe: 900-1200 g
• 1 towel: 150-250 g

Garments requiring special care

Delicates: use programme 6 to wash very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate garments. When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and appropriate temperature control of the water jet. The recommended durations are:

• 1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
• 1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
• 1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min

The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric composition.

Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme 7, even those carrying the "hand-wash only" label. For best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1.5 kg of laundry.

Wash&Dry 45': select programme 10 for washing and drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and Synthetic) in a short time. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations 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.

Troubleshooting

Your washer-dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see "Assistance"), make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.

Service

Before calling for Assistance:

• Check whether you can solve the problem alone (see "Troubleshooting");
• Restart the programme to check whether the problem has been solved;
• If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre using the telephone number provided on the guarantee certificate.

[!] Always request the assistance of authorised technicians.

Have the following information to hand:

• The type of problem;
• The appliance model (Mod.);
• The serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the data plate applied to the rear of the washer-dryer, and can also be found on the front of the appliance by opening the door.
