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 7 to wash and dry shirts and T-shirts in dierent 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 cus, 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.

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)

Eco 40-60

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.

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 “No Selection” will

appear on the display.

- If the selected function is incompatible with another previously set

function, the wording “No Selection” will appear on the display and

the function will not be enabled.

Steam Hygiene

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 Timer

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-dened temperature. To modify the

temperature, press the button. The value will appear on the display.

Spin

Each wash cycle has a pre-dened 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 ecacy 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

«Energy Saver» 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 “Drying

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.

Drying 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 “No Selection” or “No 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 modications 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.

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 ecient 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 inuenced 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 o

and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to

clean the washer-dryer. Clean and maintain your washer-dryer periodically

(at least 4 times per year).

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 specied 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 eected 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”.
