This appliance is marked according to
the European directive 2012/19/EU
on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances (which
can cause negative consequences for the
environment) and basic components (which can
be re
-
used). It is important to have WEEE
subjected to specific treatments, in order to
remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and
recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can
play an important role in ensuring that WEEE
does not become an environmental issue; it is
essential to follow some basic rules:
WEEE should not be treated as household
waste;
WEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality or
by registered companies. In many countries, for
large WEEE, home collection could be present.
In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one
-to-
one basis, as long as the equipment is of
equivalent type and has the same functions as
the supplied equipment.

If the supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a special
cord or assembly available from
the manufacturer or its service
agent.
Only use the hose-sets
supplied with the appliance for
the water supply connection
(do not reuse old hose-sets).
Water pressure must be between
0.05 MPa and 0.8 MPa.
Make sure carpets or rugs do
not obstruct the base or any of
the ventilation openings.
The final part of a washer dryer
cycle occurs without heat (cool
down cycle) to ensure that the
items are left at a temperature
that ensures that the items will
not be damaged.

EN
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.
The maximum load capacity of
dry clothes depends on the
model used (see control panel).
The appliance is not to be used
if industrial chemicals have
been used for cleaning.
Do not dry unwashed items in
the washer dryer.
Items that have been soiled with
substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers should be
washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being
dried in the washer dryer.
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.
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.

4. PRACTICAL HINTS
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.
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.
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.
Dosing the detergent
Useful advice for saving
Load tips
14
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.
For washing wool or silk, only use
detergents specifically formulated for
these fabrics.
For washing at temperatures below
40°C we recommen
d the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically
labeled as suitable for low temperature
washing.
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.
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.

5. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Looking after your appliance correctly can
extend its lifespan.
Disconnect the machine from the power
supply.
Clean the appliance’s external cabinet,
using a damp cloth and AVOIDING
ABRASIVES, ALCOHOL AND/OR
DILUENTS.
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.
The appliance has a special filter that
traps larger residues that could block the
draining system, such as buttons or
coins.
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 towel
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.
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.

This exclusive programme uses a steam
treatment that allows you to reduce and relax
the creases reaching the ideal moisture level
easier ironing. Through a dedicated button it’s
possible to select three different levels of
intensity, customizing for dry or wet items, and
accordingly on the type of fabric.
Cotton
This programme is suitable for washing
coloured cotton garments at 40°C or for
ensuring the highest degree of cleanliness for
cotton resistant laundry washing at 60°C or
90°C. The final spin is at maximum speed that
ensures excellent water removal.
Cottons + 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 conventio
nal 40°C cottons wash.
Mixed
This programme allows you to wash
different type’s fabrics and different colours
all together. The rotation movement of the
drum and the water levels are optimized,
both during the washing the rinsing phase.
The accurate spin action, ensures a
reduced formation of creases in the fabrics.
Drain & Spin
The program completes the drain and a
maximum spin. It is possible to delete or
reduce the spin through the SPIN
SELECTION button.

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.
- 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.
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:
- Low temperature drying programme
recommended for wool fabrics.
- Low temperature drying programme
recommended for mixed fabrics
(synthetics/cotton) synthetic fabrics.
- 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).
The correct way to dry
If the fabric does not have a care label,
you should assume that it is not
suitable for drying.
27

must wait for about 10/20 minutes
before opening the door.
During the drying phase the drum will
accelerate to a higher speed to
distribute the load and to optimize the
drying performance.
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.
WARNING:
Do not dry articles with special
padding (e.g. quilts, quilted anoraks,
etc.) and very delicate fabrics.

OTHER ANOMALIES
Problem Possible causes and practical solutions
The washing machine
does not work / start
Make sure the product is plugged into a working supply socket.
Make sure power is on.
Make sure the wall socket is working, testing it with another
appliance such as a lamp.
The door may not be correctly closed: open and close it again.
Check whether the required program was correctly selected and the
start button pressed.
Make sure the washing machine is not in pause or time delay mode.
Water leaked on the
floor near the
washing machine
This may be due to a leak from the seal between the tap, supply
hose and fill valve; in this case, replace it and tighten the hose
connections correctly.
Make sure the front filter is correctly closed.
The washing machine
does not spin
The machine is fitted with a detection system that protects the load
and product from damage if the load is not balanced before spinning.
This may result in:-
• The machine attempts to balance the load, increasing the time of
spin.
• Reduction of the speed of spin to decrease vibrations and noise.
• The spin cycle aborting to protect the machine and load.
If this is experienced remove the load de-tangle it, reload it and
restart the spin program.
This could be due to the fact that water has not been completely
drained: wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, see Error 3
section.
Some models include a "no spin" function: make sure it is not
selected.
Check which options are selected and their effect on the spin cycle.
Excessive detergent can impede the spin cycle, ensure the correct
amount of detergent is being used.
Strong vibrations /
noises are heard
during the spin cycle
The washing machine may not be fully levelled: if necessary, adjust
the feet as indicated in the specific section.
Make sure transport screws, rubber bungs and spacer tubes were
removed.
Make sure there are no foreign objects inside the drum (coins,
hinges, buttons, etc…).
