3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important !
The appliance must be installed by a specialised technician according to current regulations.
This washing machine is very heavy. Take care when lifting it.
3.1 UNPACKING
The inside of the machine comprises a moving assembly which is blocked for transport purposes by the screws
(A) located at the rear of the washing machine.
1. Release the assembly by removing these screws with a 13 mm wrench.
2. Remove the screws (A) and relative spacers (B) from the back of the washing machine.
3. To prevent water from entering the machine, or people from touching live components with their fingers,
close the four holes left open by the screws with the supplied plastic plugs (C).
Attention!
 Do not turn the machine upside down and do not place it on its side.
 Keep all the components used to lock the drum assembly as they will be needed if you decide to move the
appliance in future.
3.2 POSITIONING AND LEVELLING
1. Place the appliance in the
chosen position.
2. Carefully level the machine in
all directions using a spirit
level and adjusting the feet if
necessary. After adjusting the
machine, lock the feet with the
relative lock nuts.
The water inlet and drain hoses can be turned to the right or left depending on installation requirements.
Attention!
 Carry out this operation carefully to prevent the washing machine from vibrating, generating noise or
moving during operation.
 If the appliance is installed adjacent to a carpeted floor, ensure that the openings on its underside are
not obstructed.
 Make sure the washing machine does not touch walls, furniture, etc., while it is working.
 The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, or sliding door, or a door with hinge on the
opposite side to the tumble dryer

3.3 ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully read the installation instructions in point 3 on page 6 of the washer dryer installation manual.
2. After the initial instructions have been adhered to. I.e. removing transit bolts and fitting the adjustable feet etc.
Using a spirit level, make sure that the washer dryer is completely level and the overall height of the legs,
including the rubber foot and the locking nuts, is no greater than 25mm maximum.
3. When installing the washer dryer you must ensure that the leg locking nuts are firmly tightened.
Under no circumstances should the washer dryer be installed with the front legs higher than the rear. If
attention is required in levelling the furniture door then we would advise fitting the “push-push”catch and the
rubber furniture door buffer. It is important to note that any other installation other than one of a level nature
could induce vibration or excessive movement of the washer dryer, especially on the spin cycle.
4. The machine should be installed directly onto a clean, sound and level floor, and as low as possible. Please
note this machine should not be installed on carpets, foam-backed flooring, laminate and parquet floors. If,
however, for cosmetic purposes the machine height needs to be raised, it must not be done so by raising the
height of the legs, but via an additional baseboard.
As a manufacture we do not recommend or specify any particular means by which to raise the washer dryer,
but have found that dense board, between 18mm and 40mm in thickness, grip-fixed and screwed to the floor
and capable of supporting the weight of the washer dryer without distortion, and cut to the dimensions of the
machine base appears to be good installation practice.
Please note that any material that has a shiny or a slippery finish should not be used.
5. Floating floors. As more apartments are being built with floating floors, additional care must be taken when
installing the washer dryers. The current flooring specifications state that additional bracing must be installed
in areas directly below electric storage heaters and door thresholds. It is important to note that whilst some
electric storage heaters have a weight of 80kgs, washer dryers, when loaded, have a combined weight in
excess of 90kgs and the oscillating nature of any loaded washer dryer will deliver varying stresses and
loadings on to the adjacent floor area.
However because floating flooring manufacturers current specifications do not state that additional bracing is
required in the floor area below heavy domestic appliances the flooring area below washer dryers is generally
only supported in one direction and not two as is the case with electric storage heaters. Therefore in order to
provide the house purchaser with additional peace of mind, and to prevent any unnecessary vibration and
oscillation in the kitchen area we would advise house builders to consider fitting additional floor bracing at the
time of floor installation to a similar specification to that which is required for the installation of electric storage
heaters.
6. The ideal base surface for any heavy domestic appliance to stand on is one of solid concrete, as any minor
leak from the domestic water supply will not adversely effect the area adjacent to the washer dryer, as any
leak onto a floating and/or wood laminate floor could cause extensive water damage.
Please note that as these machines are water tested prior to leaving our factory a small amount of residual
water will be present in the hoses, therefore care must be taken to prevent any minor water spillage during
installation. Please also ensure that the water feed hose are correctly fitted and tightened, both at the mains
and the machine connectors.
7. Please ensure that installation is carried out in accordance to the above installation instructions. As failure to
do so could invalidate the guarantee.
3.4 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
1. Check that inlet pressure lies between the following values: 50-900kPa. For higher
pressures, install a pressure reducer.
2. Connect the cold water inlet hose (light blue ring nut) to the cold water tap with a ¾
gas thread, taking care to screw it firmly into place in order to prevent leaks. The water
inlet hose must not be bent or crushed and must not be replaced or cut.
3. If a hot water inlet is used, inlet water temperature must not exceed 60°C and the
hose with the red ring nut must be connected to the hot water tap.
Attention!
 If the water pipe is new or has not been used for a long time, let a certain amount of water run before
attaching the inlet hose. This stops any deposits of sand and other impurities from clogging the filters used
by the machine to protect the water inlet valves.
 The new hose-set supplied with the appliance are to be used and the old hose-set should not be reused

EN
8
3.5 DRAIN CONNECTION
1. Insert the end of the drain hose into a drain pipe having an internal diameter of at least 4 cm and a height
ranging between 50 and 90 cm, or attach it (using the relative curved plastic profile) to a basin or bath tub.
2. Always check that the end of the drain hose is securely attached in order to prevent the repulsive force of the
water from moving it out of position.
Attention!
 Do not bend or obstruct the hose as this will reduce the flow of water.
 Any extensions to the drain hose must not exceed 1 metre, they must have the same internal diameter and
must not be obstructed in any way.
 In no case may the end of the drain hose be submerged in water.
3.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before fitting the plug into the socket, make sure that:
1. Input voltage matches that indicated on the name plate attached to the inner edge of the door.
2. The contactor, pressure relief valves, power line and socket are capable of withstanding the maximum
rated power input indicated on the name plate.
3. The socket is compatible with the plug supplied with the machine without the need to fit multiple sockets,
adaptors or extension leads that could cause overheating or burning.
If the socket does not correspond to the supplied plug, replace the socket with one of a suitable type.
Attention
 The plug must be accessible after installation.
 The appliance must be earthed. Plug the machine into a socket fitted with an efficient earth connection.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or property resulting from
failure to earth the appliance or from a defective earth connection. Correct electrical
connections guarantee maximum safety.
 This appliance complies with EEC directive 89/336 of 3.5.89 (modified by EEC directive 92/31) relative to the
elimination of radio interference.
 If the power cord is damaged, only replace it with an original spare part available from our service
department.
 Do not insert/remove the plug from the socket if your hands are wet.
 Remove the plug from the socket by gripping the plug and not the cord.

3.7 FITTING THE FURNITURE DOORS
Once the washer dryer has been correctly installed and commissioned, the furniture door can be fitted following
the dimensions on the template and the instruction enclosed in the washer dryer packaging.
Please note that only furniture doors of a thickness between 16mm and 21mm are compatible with this washer
dryer.
Important –The machine complies with the current safety provisions governing electrical equipment. It
must be installed by a specialised technician in compliance with the current standards in order to prevent
it from becoming a potential danger for the user.
3.7.1 How to fit the furniture door
The furniture door that covers the front can be hinged on either the left side or right side.
For pratical reasons, it is advisable to maintain the same opening direction as the glass door (with hinges applied
to the left-hand side).
The appliance has hinge supports on the left-hand side, whilst the push-push closing system is mounted on the
upper right-hand part.
If the magnetic closing mechanism is required or it is necessary to change the side, see the illustration below.
Important! Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from electricity supply before installing the furniture
door (during which all hinging and closing mechanisms must be removed from the front) on to the washer
dryer).
Warning –To hinge the panel on the right-hand side (opening direction opposite to that of the glass door),
completely remove the hinge supports (D), the closing hook (B) or the magnet (A) from the front part of the
machine and fit them to the opposite side.
All parts fitted to the front of the washing dryer must be correctly remounted (no hole must be left open). This will
prevent users from touching live parts of the appliance.
Our company declines all responsibility for damage caused by failure or negligence in complying with
these safety provisions.

3.7.2 Use of the furniture door fixing template
Proceed in the following way when applying the wooden panel to the washing dryer:
1. When fitting the furniture door utilising the door template you will need to make sure that the bottom and
the top of the furniture door will line up with the adjacent cabinet furniture doors.
2. The final positioning of the furniture door hinges will be dictated to by the height or the plinth plus any
additional base-board used in conjunction with raising the height of the washer dryer for cosmetic
purposes
3. Calculate the height of the plinth: Measure the height of the kitchen baseboard: the height of the wooden
panel is obtained by first establishing the height of the kitchen baseboard.
E.g.: for a 100 mm high baseboard, the maximum height of the panel is 720 mm. If the height of the
baseboard must be increased, the height of the wooden panel must be reduced.
4. Place the template of the inner side of the panel and match the height of the baseboard with the lower
edge of the panel using the graduated scale. Make sure the template is horizontally centred with
reference to the vertical lines marked at the ends.
5. After placing the template in the correct position, trace the positions of the following holes, pushing in
with the tip of your pencil:
a. holes for the hinges and hinge screws
b. holes for fixing the metal plate (if the magnetic lock is used), or the hook for the push-pull lock
(fig. A - B)
3.7.3 Applying the panel elements and fixing the panel
1. Drill holes in the furniture door for the hinges and the closing hook, using a pedestal mounted drill and a
suitable 35mm furniture drill bit, drill 4 number 13mm deep holes into the furniture door (Care must be
taken not to exceed 13mm or the door fascia could be damaged). Please note that if the magnetic door
catch is required then a small pilot hole is all that is needed (2mm).
2. The 13 mm depth of the 2 mm holes, for fixing the hinges and a metal plate for the magnet lock, only
applies to the solid wood panel. For the chipboard panel, simply drill the upper coating
3. Screw the two hinges to the panel (see below)
4. Mount the hook for the push-pull lock or the metal plate for the magnet lock on the side opposite the
hinges (sell below).

EN
11
5. Fix the panel to the washing machine following the instructions shown below
3.7.4 Adjusting the hinges
If, after applying the panel to the washing machine, it is slightly inclined or off-centre with respect to the front of the
machine, correct its position by adjusting the mobile part of the hinges (see above).
3.7.5 Recessing the appliance
Push the washing machine into its recess. Turn the feet to horizontally, level the machine if necessary and lock
the counter nut with the relative check nut. To prevent vibrations from the machine from being transmitted to the
surrounding furniture, check that the sides and top of the appliance are unable to touch the furniture itself. There
must be a space of at least 2mm all around. The rear part of the machine must also remain some distance
away from the back wall. If the recessing cavity is higher than 820mm the opening between the floor and sides of
the machine (when this is installed at the end of a line of furniture), must be completely closed in compliance with
the relative safety provisions.
The covering must make it impossible for users to touch live parts of the electrical system and must require tools
in order to be removed.
Our company declines all responsibility for damages caused by failuresto comply with these safety provisions.

EN
12
3.7.6 Fitting the plinth
The base plinth for kitchen furniture must be removable in the area in front of the washer dryer to allow access for
routine maintenance of the drain pump if it becomes clogged with buttons, fasteners, or similar objects, and for our
engineers to be able to remove the washer dryer for service.
Please note: our engineers will not remove plinths that have been fixed into position by glues or mastics, or where
removal could cause third-party damage.
If a plinth is fitted directly onto the washer dryer then it must be done so with four screws inserted into the four
pre-set holes
Application of the plinth to the furniture must not involve elimination or modification of the washing
machine plinth. Owing to safety reasons, this may not be removed. It must absolutely remain intact and
fixed to the washing machine.

Attention!
 Do not wash unhemmed or torn garments as they may fray.
 Foreign bodies may damage garments or machine components. Therefore, empty all pockets and turn them
inside out, remove rollers from curtains or put them in a string bag.
 Put very small articles (belts, handkerchiefs, socks, bras with stiffeners, etc.) into a white canvas bag. Close
push buttons and zips and sew on dangling buttons.
 Modern detergents and correct washing temperatures are generally sufficient to remove stains from fabrics.
However, some stubborn stains, such as grass, fruit, egg, blood, rust and biro, should be pre-treated before
washing. Depending on the type of fabric, many stain removers can be found in the shops. Stains
should always be cleaned or diluted immediately as the older they get, the more difficult they are to
remove.
 Garments may be damaged if fabric care symbols are not observed.
Wool –Only pure wool, identified by or with the label <<shrink-proof machine washable and dryable>> can
be machine washed with the specific programme, other types of wool should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned.
5.2 OPENING THE DOOR
The machine is fitted with a safety device that prevents the door from opening while it is working.
1. Before opening the door, wait 1 or 2 minutes after the programme ends (“End”LED on) to allow the
safety device to disengage.
2. Make sure there is no water in the tub and that the drum is not moving. Open the door by pressing the
“Open door”button on the front panel and pulling it open.
Attention!
 If the washing programme is interrupted, you will have to wait from 3 to 15 minutes, depending on the
temperature of the water, before the door opens.
Attention!
The water may still be boiling if the washing cycle was performed at high temperatures.
If there is still water inside the drum, do not open the door!

5.3 PREPARING THE WASHING
Where possible, save electricity by washing full loads divided by type of fabric. Introduce loose washing and
alternate large items with small ones. For the first few times, weigh the loads of washing and then rely on your
judgement. Average weights of common garments are shown below:
5.4 LOADING THE WASHING
1. Open the door and load the washing taking care to distribute it uniformly, loosely and not packed into the
drum; alternate large items with small ones if possible.
2. The washing machine described in this manual can be loaded with up to 5kg of washing. Heavier loads
will lead to unsatisfactory washing results and may cause the machine to work incorrectly.
3. To save energy, wash full loads divided by type of fabric, according to the quantities indicated in the
“Programmes chart”supplied with this manual.
4. Close the door by pressing it against the body of the appliance until you hear a click. Make sure no
garments have got caught between the door and the rubber gasket.
Attention!
 If the door is not closed properly, a safety device prevents the washing machine from working.
 Do not use more than the recommended amount of detergent: too much may deteriorate washing
results.
5.5 ADDING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
Follow the instructions shown in the “Programme Chart”provided
together with the manual and add detergent and any additives to the
relative compartment before starting the programme.
Pour the pre-wash powder detergent into the compartment marked
“1”.
Pour main wash detergent into compartment “2”. Machine accessories
include a red insert “A”that can be placed inside compartment “2”to
allow liquid detergent to be used. The additives are automatically
introduced into the tub during final rinsing.
Pour liquid additives such as starch and fabric softener into “3”,
marked with .
If bleach can be used with the machine (no cover marked with ) add bleach to compartment “4”if you wish.
The level of the liquids must not exceed the maximum limit, otherwise the trays will be emptied too soon.
Before pouring thick additives into the tray, dilute them with a little water to prevent them from obstructing the trap.
Only use foam-controlled detergent suitable for use in washing machines.
Determine the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of the water, and the type, quantity and
dirtiness of the washing.
This will allow you to obtain the required effect using as little detergent as possible.
Detergent packs indicate the quantities to use according to 4 levels of hardness and for normally dirty loads of 4-5
kg.
Ask your local water board to tell you how hard your water is.
Water hardness
Hardness level French degree fH German degree dH
Soft Up to 15° Up to 8°
Moderately hard 15° - 25° 8° - 14°
Hard 25° - 40° 14° - 22°
Very hard Over 40° Over 22°

5.6 DOSING POWDER DETERGENTS
Normally dirty washing
1. Choose a programme without prewash.
2. Pour the total quantity of detergent indicated on the packs into compartment “2”of the detergent tray.
Very dirty washing
1. Choose a programme with prewash.
2. Add ¼ of the recommended quantity of detergent into compartment “1”of the detergent tray and ¾ of the
detergent into compartment “2”.
Attention!
 If there are no dosage indications for delicate synthetics, add from ½ to 2/3 of the recommended quantity for
resistant cottons.
 For the wool programme, only use neutral detergents for woollens.
 Base your doses according to the detergent manufacturer's recommendations.
5.7 DOSING LIQUID DETERGENTS
1. Pour the recommended dose into the batcher supplied with the liquid detergent and place it inside the drum;
otherwise, pour it into compartment “2”of the detergent tray after fitting the relative red insert “A”(see
paragraph 5.5).
2. The scale on the red insert will help you to use the right quantity of liquid detergent.
Attention!
 Liquid detergents can be used according to the manufacturer's recommended dose only for the main
washing cycle, that is, in all programmes without prewash.
 When compartment “2”is used for powder detergent, the red insert “A”must be removed.
5.8 SCALE-REMOVERS
Scale-removers can be introduced into compartments “1”and “2”according to the manufacturer's indications.
First, add the detergent and then the scale-remover.
5.9 SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE AND SELECTING THE WASHING PROGRAMME
To switch on the machine and select programmes, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the programme knob in either direction.
2. Select the washing temperature, within the sectors marked on the front panel by the following words:
 Cotton, coloureds
 Wool
 Synthetics, delicates
The washing machine has the following basic washing programmes which, by adjusting the temperature
and using the various button functions, allow a wide range of programmes to be set for all requirements.
Intensive washing programme
for resistant cotton, coloured or hemp fabrics.
Delicate washing programmes
for delicate artificial synthetic fibres, blends or linen fabrics.
They prevent the formation of creases that are difficult to remove
during ironing.
Wool programme
only for garments marked “pure wool”washable, treated, shrink
proof. Other types of wool should be hand washed or dry-cleaned.
To select programmes according to the type of fabric, consult the “Programme chart”supplied
together with this manual.

Display information
When the machine is switched on, the display visualises
the duration (hours/minutes) and maximum spin speed
envisaged for the programme. These two parameters are
displayed alternatively for 3 seconds each, together with
their relative LED's, until the selected programme starts.
Attention!
 The following partial washing programmes can be set
using the programmes knob:
-Rinse with additive
-Drain and spin
-Fabric softener
These partial programmes are inside the Cotton, Synthetics and Wool sectors, except for the drain and spin
programme (Drain ).
 If the indicated temperature shows 0°, this means that the programme performs a cold wash cycle. The same
cold wash is also performed by the Hand wash programme in the Wool sector.
 The fabric treatment labels show which washing temperature must be set.
 If various garments in the same load require different washing temperatures, choose the lowest
washing temperature of all.
 If the laundry is only slightly dirty and does not need the bleaching effect of high temperatures, a lower
temperature can be chosen to save power. In spite of the low temperature and consequent saving of
electricity, an automatic time control keeps the duration of the main washing unvaried compared with that of a
high temperature programme. It is therefore possible to successfully wash normally dirty laundry at lower
washing temperatures than the maximum temperatures shown on the fabric care labels.
