Installation
 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
place for future reference. If the washer-dryer is sold,
transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction
manual remains with the machine so that the new
owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its
operation and features.
 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information relating to the safe installation and
operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washer-dryer from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washer-dryer has not been
damaged during the transportation process. If it has
been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
3. Remove the 4
protective screws (used
during transportation) and
the rubber washer with
the corresponding
spacer, located on the
rear part of the appliance
(see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need
them again if the washer-dryer needs to be moved to
another location.
 ackaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levelling
1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets
or anything else.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, compen-
sate for any unevenness
by tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet
(see figure); the angle of
inclination, measured in
relation to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with
stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise
and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. If it is
placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a
way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space
underneath the washer-dryer.
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Insert seal A into the
end of the inlet hose and
screw the latter onto a
cold water tap with a 3/4
gas threaded opening
(see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until it
is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose
to the washer-dryer by
screwing it onto the
corresponding water inlet
of the appliance, which is
situated on the top right-
hand side of the rear part
of the appliance (see
figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
 The water pressure at the tap must fall within the
values indicated in the Technical details table (see
next page).
 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialised shop or an authorised technician.
 Never use second-hand hoses.
 Use the ones supplied with the machine.

our the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled
Detergent dispenser drawer).
Goodnigt cycle (wash cycle 7). This is a silent cycle which can be run at night, when the electricity prices are lower. The
wash cycle is designed for cottons and synthetics. At the end of the cycle the machine stops while there is still water in
the drum; to spin and drain the laundry press the START/ AUSE button; alternatively the machine will perform the spin
cycle and drain the water automatically after 8 hours.
Baby cycle (wash cycle 8). This wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring
that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. The
cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect
of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent.
At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases; to end the cycle
press the START/ AUSE button.
Mix 30(wash cycle 4) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and

Setting the temperature
Turn the TEM ERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles).
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash ( ).
The washer-dryer will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum
value set for each wash cycle.
Setting the drying cycle
Turn the DRYING knob to set the desired drying type.
Two options are available:
A - Based on time: from 40 to 180 minutes.
B - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have
been dried:
ron : slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.
Hanger : dry clothes to put away.
Cupboard : very dry clothes, recommended for towelling
and bathrobes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent 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: When the drying is complete there is a cooling period, even though the DRYING knob is in the position.
Drying only
Turn the WASH CYCLE knob to one of the drying settings (11-12-13) according to the type of fabric, then select
the desired drying duration using the DRYING knob.
Functions
The various wash functions available with this washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. ress the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in
conjunction with the selected wash cycle.
Delay timer
This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 9 hours.
ress the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time
the button is pressed, the function will be disabled.
N.B. Once you have pressed the START/ AUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.
This option is enabled with all programmes.
Extra rinse
By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is
particularly useful for sensitive skin.
 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, B, C.
Super 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.
 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, A, B, C.

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not
necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in
fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance
and contribute to environmental pollution.
 Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent
dispenser drawer and
pour in the detergent or
washing additive, as
follows.
compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)
Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra
compartment 4 has been removed.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleaching may only be performed in conjunction with
wash cycles 1, 2, .
our the bleach into extra compartment 4; pour the
detergent and softener into the corresponding
compartments, then select one of the
abovementioned wash cycles.
This option is recommended only for very soiled
cotton garments.
Preparing the laundry
 Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites.
 Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
 Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the
weight of the laundry when dry:
Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1.5 kg

Garments requiring special care
Silk: use special wash cycle 9 to wash all silk
garments. We recommend the use of special
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate
clothes.
Curtains: these should be folded and placed inside
the bag provided. Use wash cycle 9.
Wool: Hotpoint/Ariston is the only washer-dryer
manufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious
Woolmark latinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by
the Woolmark Company, which means that all
woollen garments may be washed in the washer-
dryer, even those which state hand wash only
on the label. Wash cycle 10 therefore offers complete
peace of mind when washing woollen garments in the
washer-dryer (max. load 1.5 kg) and guarantees
optimal performance.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
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.
Anti-crease
This function interrupts the wash programme, and the
washing is left to soak in water before the appliance
is drained.
It can only be used with programme 9 (Silk/Curtains)
and helps to prevent the formation of creases.
To complete the cycle press the START/ AUSE
button.

Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
 Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. 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.
Cleaning 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.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling it
out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
Caring for the door and drum of your
appliance
 Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump
which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes,
small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the
pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its
bottom part.
 Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug
the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front part of
the washer-dryer (see
figure);
2. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-clockwise
(see figure): a little water
may trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are
securely in place before you push it onto the
appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are
any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a
cracked hose could easily split open.
 Never use second-hand hoses.

spãla la maºinã, în cea mai mare siguranþã, toate
articolele din lânã (max. 1,5 kg) cu garanþia de a
obþine cele mai performante rezultate.
Sistemul de echilibrare a încãrcãturii
Pentru a evita trepidaþiile excesive, înainte de
stoarcere, cuva maºinii va distribui cantitatea de rufe
în mod uniform, centrifuga efectuând câteva rotaþii la
o vitezã mai mare decât viteza de spãlare. Dacã,
dupã numeroase încercãri, maºina nu reuºeºte sã
echilibreze greutatea, stoarcerea rufelor se va face
la o vitezã mai micã decât cea prevãzutã în program.
Dacã instabilitatea este prea mare, maºina va
distribui greutatea în locul centrifugei. Pentru a
favoriza o mai bunã repartizare a rufelor ºi
echilibrarea corectã a maºinii, se recomandã sã
introduceþi în maºinã atât articole mari cât ºi mici.
Antiºifonare
Aceastã funcþie întrerupe programul de spãlare
menþinând rufele la înmuiat în apã înainte de golirea
maºinii.
Poate fi activatã numai cu programul 9 (Mãtase/
Perdele) ºi serveºte la evitarea formãrii pliurilor.
Pentru a termina ciclul, apãsaþi tasta TART/
