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.
Unpackin and levellin
Unpackin
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.
 Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Levellin
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.
Connectin the electricity and water
supplies
Connectin 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.

Connectin the drain hose
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a

drain located at a height
between 65 and 100 cm
from the floor;
alternatively, rest it on
the side of a washbasin
or bathtub, fastening the
duct supplied to the tap
(see figure). The free end
of the hose should not
be underwater.
 We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is
absolutely necessary, the extension must have the
same diameter as the original hose and must not
exceed 150 cm in length.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the electricity
socket, make sure that:
 the socket is earthed and complies with all
applicable laws;
 the socket is able to withstand the maximum power
load of the appliance as indicated in the Technical
data table (see opposite);
 the power supply voltage falls within the values
indicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);
 the socket is compatible with the plug of the
washer dryer. If this is not the case, replace the
socket or the plug.
 The washer dryer must not be installed outdoors,
even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to
leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms and other
weather conditions.
 When the washer dryer has been installed, the
electricity socket must be within easy reach.
 Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
 The cable should not be bent or compressed.
 The power supply cable must only be replaced by
authorised technicians.
Warning! The company shall not be held responsible
in the event that these regulations are not respected.

Display
The display is useful when programming the machine and provides a great deal of information.
The upper two strings A and B are used to display the selected wash cycle or the type of drying selected, the
current wash cycle phase (the selected dryness level or drying time) and all the indications relating to the progress
status of the cycle.
String C shows the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle in progress and, if a DELAYED START has been
set, the time remaining until the start of the selected wash cycle.
String D shows the maximum spin speed value (this depends on the selected wash cycle); if the wash cycle does
not include a spin cycle, the string remains unused.
String E shows the maximum temperature value which may be selected (this depends on the wash cycle used); if
the temperature of the wash cycle cannot be modified, the string remains unused.
Indicator lights F correspond to the functions and light up when the selected function is compatible with the set
wash cycle.
Door locked symbol
If the symbol is lit, this indicates that the washer dryer door is blocked to prevent it from being opened
