Intensive 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.

Easy Iron

By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in

order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of the cycle the

washing machine will perform slow rotations of the drum; the indicator

lights for the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE

one green, the second orange). To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE

button or the EASY IRON button. For the 5 wash cycle, the machine will end

the cycle while the laundry is soaking and the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE

indicator lights will flash. To drain the water so that the laundry may be

removed, press the START/PAUSE

Delay Timer

To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the

corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has

been reached. To remove the delayed start option press the button until

the text "OFF" appears on the display.

Temperature

Each wash cycle has a pre-defined temperature. To modify the

temperature, press the

button. The value will appear on the display.

Spin

Each wash cycle has a pre-defined spin speed. To modify the spin speed,

press the

button. The value will appear on the display.

Drying cycle

The first 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 dry: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the

remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove; "A1"

appears on the display.

Hanger dry: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully; "A2"

appears on the display.

Cupboard dry: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard

without being ironed; "A3" appears on the display.

Extra dry: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such

as sponges and bathrobes "A4"; appears on the display.

B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes.

If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the

maximum stated load (see WASH CYCLE 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: a cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.

Drying only

Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle (11-12) in accordance

with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or time may also be set

using the DRYING button

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to:

Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, 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 efficient 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 influenced 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 off

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

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

(at least 4 times per year).

Disconnect the water and power 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.

options will flash (the first

button or the EASY IRON button.

Clean 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.

Clean the detergent dispenser drawer

Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Care for the door and drum

Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours

from forming.

Clean the pump

The washer-dryer is fitted with a auto-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 the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. remove the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it

in the centre then pushing downwards on both sides to extract it;

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.

Check 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.

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 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.

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 filling 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

"Health & Safety and Installation Guides".
