WASH CYCLES
Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash
care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum
recommended temperature for washing the garment.
Daily Wash & Dry
use programme 1 to wash and dry mixed garments (cotton and
synthetics). This cycle may be used to wash and dry loads of up to 3 kg;
we recommend the use of liquid detergent.
The use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the
formation of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.
Shirts Wash & Dry
Use programme 2 to wash and dry shirts and T-shirts in dierent fabrics
and colours to ensure maximum care. This cycle may be used to wash and
dry loads of up to 2 kg. To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent
and pre-treat cus, collars and stains. The use of the steam in this
programme is optimised to reduce the formation of creases on garments,
making them easier to iron.
Pre Iron
Use this programme immediately before ironing; max. 1,5 kg load. The
use of the steam in this programme is optimised to reduce the formation
of creases on garments, making them easier to iron.
Steam Refresh
For refreshing garments, neutralised unpleasant odours and relaxing the
bres by delivering steam into the drum. The garments will be damp at
the end of the cycle.
Anti-Stain Turbo 45’
This cycle is ideal for washing daily stains in 45’. It is ideal for mixed fabrics
and coloured garments.
Anti-Stain Power 20°C
this programme ensures maximum stain removal capacity with no need
for pre-treatment at low temperatures, preserving fabrics and colours.
Cotton
Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of
resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled.
Eco Cotton
Suitable for washing moderately soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and
60°C it is the standard cycle for washing cotton garments, and is the most
ecient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.
Synthetics
Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic bres
(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton bres.
Multicolour
for washing coloured cotton garments. This programme is optimised to
keep colours bright even after repeated washing.
Ultradelicates
For washing very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments
inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on
delicate garments.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and
placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates. Use liquid
detergent on delicate garments for best results.
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 --> 165 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 - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved
by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool
garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the
products are washed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of
this washer-dryer. (M1318)
Sport
for washing lightly soiled sports clothing (tracksuits, shorts, towels, etc.);
for best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load
indicated in the “Wash cycles Table”. We recommend using liquid
detergent, and adding the amount suitable for a half-load.
Fast

OPTIONS
- If the selected function is incompatible with the set wash cycle, the
relevant indicator light will appear dimly lit; the incompatibility will also
be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) and the wording “Not Selection” will
appear on the display.
- If the selected function is incompatible with another previously set
function, the wording “Not Selection” will appear on the display and
the function will not be enabled.
Steam
This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during
the wash cycle to remove any bacteria from the bres, which are treated
at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a compatible
programme and select option .
! The steam generated during the operation of the washer-dryer may
cause the porthole door to become hazy.
Delay
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding
button repeatedly until the desired delay period is reached. To remove
the delayed start setting, press the button until “-- h” appears on the
display.
Temperature
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the
temperature, press the button. The value will appear on the display.
Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,
press the button. The value will appear on the display.
Direct Injection
The washer-dryer is equipped with the innovative technology «Direct
Injection» which pre-mixes water and detergent, thus immediately
activating the detergent’s cleaning principles. This active emulsion is
directly introduced into the drum of the washer-dryer and penetrates the
bres with more ecacy in cleaning even heavily soiled garments at low
temperatures, fully preserving colours and fabrics.
The mode «Power» ensures the best cleaning performance and the mode
«EcoEnergy» allows more energy saving.
Drying
The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing the DRYING button
once or several times. Two options are available:
A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have been dried:
Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard
without being ironed.
Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such as
sponges and bathrobes.
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes.
To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until the text OFF
appears on the display.
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 .
Multi Rinse
This option allows for selecting the desired rinse type to protect sensitive
skin. Press the button once to set level “Extra +1”, which allows for
selecting an additional rinse to the standard cycle rinses and removing all
traces of detergent. Press the button again to set level “Extra +2”, which
allows for selecting two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; this
cycle is recommended for very sensitive skin. When the button is pressed
for the third time, the “Extra +3” level is set, which allows for selecting
3 additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses. When started with
cycles at a temperature of 40°C, this option makes it possible to remove
major allergens such as pollen and cat or dog hair. With cycles running
at temperatures higher than 40°C, an excellent level of anti-allergy
protection is achieved. Press the button again to return to the “Normal
Rinse” mode. If the current mode cannot be set nor changed, the display
will show “Not Selection” or “Not Change”.
KEY LOCK
To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for
roughly 2 seconds. When the display visualises “KEY LOCK ON”, the control
panel is locked (except for the ON/OFF button ). This will prevent
accidental modications 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 bres, 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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washer-dryer o
and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to
clean the washer-dryer.
Cutting o the water and electricity supplies
Turn o 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.
The washer-dryer has a “Auto Clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must be
run without any load in the drum.
To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the detergent (i.e. a
quantity 10% the quantity specied for lightly-soiled garments) or special
additives to clean the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning
programme every 40 wash cycles.
To activate the cycle, press the button for 5 seconds then press START/
PAUSE to start the cycle, which will last roughly 70 minutes.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it
under running water; this procedure should be eected 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 tted with a Auto Clean pump which 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 the 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 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 washing machine 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.
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 lling 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”.
Important: Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain
blockages, or may damage the machine.
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are
not intended as machine washable.
