YOUR NEW WASHER-DRYER
This new machine meets all requirements for a
modern washing of laundry with reduced
consumption of water, energy and detergent.
It will provide you with soft laundry in any
weather.
nThe temperature selector dial allows you to
choose personally the suitable washing
temperature for your laundry.
nThe automatic cooling of the washing water
from 90°C to 60°C before draining will prevent
plastic pipes of your drainage system from
being deformed.
nThe special wool programme will wash
your wool items safely without shrinking tanks
to the extremely gentle washing action.

hardness, degree of soiling and quantity of
laundry being washed.
Protection of the environment
nMaterials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
To enable them to be recycled, they must be
placed in the appropriate collection areas (or
containers). Check with your local authorities.

Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"
thread after having inserted the small filter “A”
supplied with the machine.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects
to the machine can be turned in any direction.
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no
water leaks.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened.If it is
too short and you do not wish to move the tap,
you will have to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in
three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the
plastic hose guide supplied with the
machine. In this case, make sure the end
cannot come unhooked when the machine is
emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a
piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must
be above the trap so that the bend is at least
60 cm above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not
less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e.the inside diameter of the drain
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of
the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along
the floor; only the part near the drainage point
must be raised.
Electrical connection

Washing and drying hints
Sorting the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing
instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
90° for normally soiled white cottons
and linen (e.g.tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
60° for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g.shirts, night
dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.
underwear).
30°-40 for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
(cold) mixed laundry including synthetic
fibres and woollens bearing the
label «pure new wool, machine
washable, non-shrink»
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately the
first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers.Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub
particularly soiled areas with a special detergent
or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or
tie them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme charts.
General rules:
cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed
synthetics: drum no more than half full
delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more
than one third full
Washing a maximum load makes the most
efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
napkin 0100 g
quilt cover 0700 g
sheet 0500 g
pillow case 0200 g
tablecloth 0250 g
towelling towel 0200 g
tea cloth 0100 g
night dress 0200 g
ladies’briefs 0100 g
man’s work shirt 0600 g
man’s shirt 0200 g
man’s pyjamas 0500 g
blouse 0100 g
men’s underpants 0100 g
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent.It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a
special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold.Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and
the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with
acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits.Remove any
residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.

30
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice
of detergent and use of the correct quantities to
avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset
the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the
colour, washing temperature and degree of
soiling.
All commonly available washing machine
detergents may be used in this appliance:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C
max) and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for woollens
only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed
in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash
programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid
detergents, a programme without prewash must
be selected.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting
the programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must
be poured into the compartment marked
before starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling
and hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness
of the water in your area can be obtained from
the relevant water supply company, or from your
local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’instructions on
quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load
– the laundry is lightly soiled
– large amounts of foam form during washing.
Drying
nAll laundry to be dried must be thoroughly
spun.The higher the spin speed, the lower the
power consumption and the shorter the drying
time.
nScrupulously follow the instructions on each
garment label, making sure that it is suitable
for tumble-drying.
nDo not tumble dry the following:
– wool, silk, synthetic curtains;
– articles with a plasticised finish, nylon
tights or stockings, sleeping bags, quilts,
articles made of foam rubber or containing
materials similar to foam rubber, fabrics
with metal inserts;
– fabrics which tend to fray.
Important: during the drying cycle, the water tap
must be left open and the drain hose must be
correctly positioned.
