INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Positioning
After your washing machine has been placed in the desired
location, level it by means of the front left foot, then the counter
nut must be locked by means of the special key provided.
Warning: if the machine is not perfectly leveled, it will be
unstable, noisy and may lead to malfunctions and broken
parts. Do not place the machine on mats or carpets.
Water connection
COLD WATER HOSE = WHITE HOSE
HOT WATER HOSE = BLACK HOSE
Connect the water supply hoses to hot & cold-water taps with a 3/4" (gas
type) fitting insert the rubber sealing washers supplied with the machine
and fully tighten the ring nuts. If the water tap is new or has not been
used for a long time it is recommended to let the water run for a while
before completing the connection. Connect the other end of the water
supply hose to the machine and again insert the rubber washer between
the hose and the solenoid valve fitting.
Drain Hose
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe (with a minimum
internal diameter of 4cm) or hook it on a sink or bathtub,
without crimping or creating any sharp curves. The hose should
be positioned at a height ranging from a minimum of 60cm to a
maximum of 100cm, as shown in the figure.
Electrical Connection
Make sure that the electrical system can support the maximum current load indicated on the
rating plate on the rear side of the machine. The washing machine should be connected to
an electrical grounded outlet, as prescribed by law. This outlet must be easily accessible
after the installation of the washing machine.
If the supply card is damaged, it should be replaced by a special cable available
at the manufacturers or at the technical service.
The company will not be responsible for any damage to persons or things due to
non-compliance with these instructions.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
This washing machine does not require any particular maintenance. At the end of each wash
it is recommended to leave the door open so that air will circulate and dry the interior of the

Page 3

machine. The external parts of the machine should never be cleaned with abrasive
detergents since this would ruin the enamel coating as well as the synthetic parts.

BEFORE CALLING THE TECNICAL SERVICE CENTRE
Check if plug is inserted
Check that power is available
Check that the doer is properly closed
Check that the water tap is open
Check that the water supply hose and water drain hose are not blocked
NOTE: - if you have to call the service centre, specify the model of your washing
machine and if necessary the Serial Number which is indicated on the rating plate on the
back of the machine.
How to use your washing machine economically and ecologically.
Optimum load - Always try to use the washing machine at full load, as this will use less
water, washing powder and energy than two smaller loads.
You want to use the pre-wash? - Only use the pre-wash for very dirty linen. If you don't
use the pre-wash, you save from 5% to 15% in energy, washing powder, water and time.
Is a high temperature wash required? - To avoid high temperature washing, treat
particularly dirty items with a stain remover or leave the worst stains to soak beforehand.
You will save energy in this way.

FUNCTIONS AND PREPARATION FOR WASHING
Detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser is divided into four compartments
1. Pour washing detergent in this compartment for the prewash
cycle (MAX 45 grams).
2. Washing detergent in this compartment for the wash cycle
(MAX 130 grams).
3. Pour bleaching liquid into this compartment following the
advice on the packing (do not exceed in quantity over the
filter grid)
4. Pour softener into this compartment following the advice on
the packing (max 60 ml - do not exceed in quantity over the
filter grid)
Close the dispenser after the detergent compartments have been filled. It is recommended
to use non-foaming detergents and a softener in case of hard water.
Cleaning of the dispenser
It is advisable to clean the compartment regularly, as explained below: - press lever (A) and
slide the compartment out of it’s housing;
•Remove the siphon cover of compartment 3-4;
•Wash everything with running water;
•Replace the siphon cover in the compartment making sure it fits perfectly in its housing;
•Replace the compartment in its housing.
Door
Use the handle to open the door.
During the wash cycle, a special safety device keeps the door locked. To
open the door, turn off the machine using the ON-OFF switch and wait 2
minutes before turning the handle to open the door.
Sorting clothes
Each of the following groups should be sorted and washed separately
according to the cycle specified in the cycle table:
•White and resistant colored fabrics
•Non-resistant colored fabrics
•Delicate fabrics (silk, polyester, nylon, etc.)
•Wool
This Washer Dryer is designed to WASH only, to DRY only or to WASH & DRY, for
instructions on how to dry cloths, read the “Drying” section carefully.
Washing Operations
•sort the clothes
•Place them uniformly inside the drum
•Select the most suitable cycle for the fabrics (see wash cycle table)
•Set the cycle by following the instructions in the "control panel" section and turn on the
machine by pushing the ON/OFF button.
WARNING: Set the cycle only when the machine is off. - Always turn the control dial
clockwise. If you pass the desired position, make a complete turn and reset the dial to the
exact position.

WDI1210 user manual.doc
FUNCTIONS AND PREPARATION FOR WASHING & DRYING
The clothes are dried by a flow of warm air made to circulate inside the drum by a fan, which gra-
dually removes the damp from the clothes.
This steam then condenses inside the machine when it comes into contact with the cold water.
This is the reason why the water tap must remain on and the draining pipe must be positioned
correctly during the drying cycle.
To obtain the best results, spin-dry the clothes before putting them in the machine. The smaller the
amount of water in the clothes, the less time it will take to dry them and the lower the consumption
of electricity will be.
Warnings: Always use the drying cycle best suited to the fabric to be dried.
Only dry articles washed with water in the machine.
The following articles must not be dried in the machine:
•Clothes that have been dry-cleaned or cleaned with chemical products
•Wool or wool mixture clothes that shrink in hot water
•Extremely delicate fabrics, such as silk and synthetic curtains
•Articles made of foam rubber
•Articles made of glass fibre
•Materials that tend to fray, for example, woolen bows, felt or worn carpets.
Before any drying cycle may be executed, the following four conditions must be respected:
a) The timer is set in the specific drying position indicated by the symbol
b) The timer is set with a drying time selected in its sector according to the fabric to be dried
c) The "half-load/drying" button is pressed
d) There is no water in the drum.
Procedure for Executing the Drying Cycle Only
•Turn the timer control clockwise until the reference mark is aligned with either of the two
drying symbols indicated by W
•Turn the drying timer control clockwise until the reference mark is aligned with the selected
drying time. (The "drying cycle" table contains instructions on how to choose the times,
according to your machine's spin-drying speed, the fabric to be dried and the degree of
dryness)
•Press the "half-load/drying" key (The maximum amount that can be dried is 2.5 kg of dry
cotton clothes)
•Press the on/off key to switch on the machine.
Procedure for Executing the Washing and Manual Drying Cycle
If you wish to dry the clothes after washing a load of more than 2.5 kg, at the end of the wash cycle,
divide it into 2 roughly equal loads and proceed as for the drying cycle only, drying one load at a ti-
me.
Procedure for Executing the Washing and Automatic Drying Cycle
Having loaded the machine with a maximum of 2.5 kg of dry cotton clothes and set one of the cotton
washing cycles (cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7), the washing cycle can be run and followed automatically
by the drying cycle, as follows:
•Turn the timer control clockwise until the reference mark is aligned with the desired washing
cycle, selecting it from the "cotton and linen cycles" table.
•Turn the drying timer control clockwise until the reference mark is aligned with the selected
drying time. (The "drying program" table contains instructions on how to choose the times,
according to your machine's spin-drying speed, the fabric to be dried and the degree of
dryness)
•Press the "half-load/drying" key (The maximum amount that can be dried is 2.5 kg of dry
cotton clothes)
•Press the on/off key to switch on the machine.
