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.
Anti-Stain Turbo
this programme is ideal for washing the most dicult daily stains in 1
hour. It is ideal for mixed fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your
clothes as it washes. .
Anti-Stain 40°
the programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant
colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A
class).
When running the programme, do not mix garments of dierent colours.
We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special
additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.
Cotton
Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of
resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled.
Synthetics
Specic for synthetic items. If the dirt is dicult to remove, the
temperature can be increased up to 60° and powder detergent can be
used too.
Rapid 30’
For washing lightly soiled garments in a short time. Not suitable for wool,
silk and garments to be washed by hand.
Mix Wash & Dry
use programme 6 to wash and dry mixed garments (cotton and
synthetics). This cycle may be used to wash and dry loads of up to 3.5 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 7 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.
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
For washing normally soiled cotton garments declared to be washable at
40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle. This is the standard cotton
programme and the most ecient in terms of water and energy
consumption.
20°C
For washing lightly soiled cotton garments, at a temperature of 20 °C.
White
For heavily soiled whites and resistant colours.
Anti Allergy
Suitable for removing major allergens such as pollen, mites and cat or dog hair.
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.
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 --> 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.
Rinse&Spin
Designed for rinsing and spinning.
Spin&Drain
Designed for spinning and draining the water.
DISPLAY
The display is useful when programming the washer-dryer and provides
plenty of information.
Section A displays the duration of the various available wash cycles and,
once the cycle starts, the time remaining to the latter’s end (the display will
show the maximum duration of the selected cycle which may decrease
after a few minutes, as the actual duration varies in relation to the laundry
load and the chosen settings); if the Delay option was set, the display will
show the time remaining to the start of the selected wash cycle.
Moreover, pressing the relative button allows for visualising the maximum
values for the temperature, spin speed or type of drying relative to the
selected programme or the most recently selected ones, if compatible
with the selected programme.
The “washing phases” relative to the selected cycle and the “washing
phase” of the running cycle appear in section B:
Main Wash
Rinse
Spin/Pump out
Drying
Section C displays – starting from the left – the icons corresponding to
“temperature”, “spin” and “drying”.
The “temperature” bars indicate the maximum temperature level
that can be selected for the chosen cycle.
The “spin” bars indicate the maximum spin speed that can be
selected for the chosen cycle.
The symbol lights up while the drying settings are being adjusted.

machine will switch o automatically after about a 10 minutes. Close the
water tap and unload the washing machine. Leave the door ajar to allow
the drum to dry.
OPTIONS
- If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the
indicator light will ash and the option will not be activated
Delay
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding
button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. To
remove the delayed start setting, press the button until the text “OFF”
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.
Drying
The rst time the button is pressed, the machine will automatically
select the maximum drying cycle which is compatible with the selected
wash cycle. Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then
the drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”).
Drying may be set as follows:
A - Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron “A1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
Hanger “A2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard “A3”: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a
cupboard without being ironed.
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 210 minutes.
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 .
Cleaning action
Option makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of
soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.
For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Intensive” level
is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due to a larger
quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased
drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn stains.
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics,
press button until the “Delicate” level is reached. The cycle will
reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results that are perfect for
delicate garments.
KEY LOCK
To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for
approximately 2 seconds. When the symbol is lit, 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.
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 ecient 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 inuenced 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
Close the water tap after every wash. 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 optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the
quantity specied for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean
the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40 wash
cycles.
To start the programme press button for 5 seconds.
The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To
stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.
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 self-cleaning pump that 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 water 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.
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”.
