Cautions and advice about using your
washer dryer
In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from your
washer dryer, please ensure you follow the instructions given
below:
9Select the clothes load correctly and choose the
appropriate programme.
9Before opening the door, check that there
is no water in the machine and the pilot
light is off.
9Put the washing products in the right proportion
and in the right compartment.
9Small garments such as socks, belts, etc.
are best put inside a bag to avoid their
being lost.
9Before putting clothes into the washing
machine, make sure that there is nothing in the
pockets (coins, buttons, clips, etc.) and that the
zips are undone.
9If your machine has a filter, you should
check regularly that it is clean & not
blocked. Be especially wary of coins,
brassiere wire & fluff/hair.
9The interior of the washing machine should be
handled by specialists only. NEVER attempt
to repair or modify it yourself.

9
9After each
wash, leave the
door ajar to
prevent the
rubber seal
from becoming
misshapen or
mouldy.
9When the clothes
to be washed are
heavily soiled or
splattered with
mud, it is
advisable to run a
programme with
pre-wash.
9Unless doing
half load
washing,
always put the
machine on
fully loaded to
save energy.
9Do not use the
dryer function if
the clothes have
been treated with
any non-aqueous
solution.
9Do not use the
dryer function for
items containing
any kind of
spongy rubber or
similar elastomer
materials.
9The dryer must
be installed in a
well-ventilated
place, away
from the
influence of
gases from
other
appliances and
from defective
installations.
9The lower
ventilation,
between the floor
and the base of
the machine must
not be obstructed
(by carpet, cloths,
etc.).
9When the
machine has
just been
installed, or
after a long
time without it
being used, it is
advisable to run
a washing
programme
with the
machine empty,
to eliminate any
rusty water in
the tubes.

10
Using your MEGAWDSS
CAUTION: (*VERY IMPORTANT*) –
You must ensure that the
transportation bolts have been
removed before you attempt to
use your Washer Dryer,
OTHERWISE you will damage or
destroy your appliance. See page
32 for instructions.
Only once you are sure this has been done (with the
appliance successfully installed) can you do the
following:
1) Plug in your machine
2) Turn on the water supply
Note on using your
Washer Dryer for
the first time:
There may be water
left inside your
machine after factory
tests and trials.
•The first time you run a
wash cycle, you should not
put laundry in your machine
as it may need to drain water.
•Pour half a measuring cup of
normal or all purpose detergent
into the middle compartment
(compartment II as shown on
page 13) of your detergent
dispenser and select a short
washing programme.
•Start the programme.
•Wait until the programme
finishes.
*FOR NORMAL USE, SEE NEXT PAGE

11
Before Loading your
Washing Machine
NOTE: Before putting the clothes into the machine:
oSeparate the clothes into 3 lots (cotton,
synthetics and wool).
9Within each group, separate the coloureds from
the whites. *NOTE – see next page for tips.
9Once the clothes have been separated, you can
put them into the drum of the washing machine,
separately and according to colour and group,
loose, piece by piece. Do not exceed the
maximum weight of clothes as given below:
Cotton Maximum: 5 kg
HOW TO
OPEN THE
DOOR
oLoad your clothes inside the drum one item at a
time and spread them about well.
oShut the door of your machine, being careful
that no pieces of clothing are jammed between
the door and the gasket seal. Make sure the door
is closed tightly otherwise the programme won’t
work.

12
Tips for loading your laundry:
:Never wash
your white
and
coloured
clothes
together.
ÂSince your
new
coloured
clothes may
shed dye on
the first
wash,
wash them
separately.
ÂBe careful that
no metal
pieces are in
the pockets of
your clothes.
There is the
chance of rust
residues
coming off and
causing stains.
ÂZip-up and
button your
clothes.
ÂRemove the
plastic or metal
hooks of curtains
or place them
inside a washing
bag and tie.
ÂPull textiles
like trousers,
knitted fabric, T-
shirts and
sweatshirts inside
out.
ÂWash small
clothes like socks
and handkerchiefs
in a washing bag.
HOW TO READ THE SYMBOLS ON YOUR CLOTHES LABELS

13
Filling your Washing
Machine’s Dispenser Drawer
with Detergent
The dispenser drawer consists of three compartments:
1) Pre-wash / Bio-wash Compartment
This compartment should be used only when programmes involving pre-wash or bio-
wash have been selected. The amount of power used will depend on the fabric type
to be washed. We recommend following the detergent manufacturer’s directions.
2) Main wash Compartment
This compartment is used to store detergent that is going to be used in the main
washing cycle of any complete washing programme.
3) Fabric Conditioner Compartment
This compartment is used for fabric softeners. At the end of the washing programme,
water will automatically be siphoned out, leaving the compartment ready for the next
wash.
IMPORTANT!
The detergent dispenser drawer and housing must be cleaned periodically
to ensure that detergent and fabric softener do not build up and reduce
the appliance’s efficiency. To remove the drawer, pull it forward to its
fullest extent, lifting the front edge at the same time, then give a firm tug.
The dispenser drawer should now be rinsed, dried and replaced.

14
HOW MUCH DETERGENT SHOULD I USE?
NOTE: You will need more detergent for washing cycles
containing dirtier clothes.
oFor very dirty
clothes, select a
programme with pre-
washing, fill
compartment 1 with ¼ of
the amount of the
detergent you are putting
in compartment 2.
oFor clothes that are only
slightly dirty, do not pre-
wash and put only a
small amount of
detergent into
compartment 2 in your
washing machine’s
dispenser drawer.
CAUTION:Only use detergents for automatic
washing machines. The amount needed for different
washing loads and types will be written on the packaging
of your detergent.
NOTE: The harder the water in
your area, the more detergent you
will need to use.
SOFTENERS
9Fill the softener compartment (far right in your detergent drawer)
with softener. Do not exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, the softener
will diffuse in the washing water through the siphon. Dilute high density
softeners first.
FLUID DETERGENTS
9You can use fluid detergents in all programmes without pre-
washing. For this, move the fluid detergent level plate in the second
compartment of the detergent drawer and pour in the amount of fluid
detergent according to the levels on this plate.

15
Tips on washing your clothes.
Dirtiness
Sort the clothes according to
dirtiness. Give special
treatment to those which are
very dirty or have got difficult
stains.
Treat very dirty areas like
collars and cuffs before
washing.
Wash clothes that are only
slightly dirty in short
programmes. In this way,
you will save energy as well
as get better results.
Wash averagely dirty clothes
in a normal wash programme.
Wash very dirty clothes in a
Long Programme with a
Prewash.
Sensitivity
Certain clothes, either because
of their fabric or the way they
are made, may be sensitive to
action of your machine. When
washing them, it is best to use
DELICATE PROGRAMMES.
You can wash woollen
garments( ) in the SPECIAL
WOOL PROGRAMME. Make
sure, first of all, that your
woollens are washable.

Interrupting a Programme
You can interrupt a programme at any time
by pressing the ‘ON/OFF’ button. Simply
do this and wait two minutes if you have to
add or remove garments. Be careful that
