Now press on/off button H (position I), pilot lamp I will start flashing.
After 5", the setting will be accepted, pilot lamp I will stop flashing (staying lit) and the wash cycle will begin.

and wait 5": when the cancellation has been accepted, pilot lamp I flashes, and you can then turn the appliance off.
After the wash cycle has been set and accepted by the washer-dryer, turning the knob will have no effect (except for
when it is on position Stop/Reset).
B. Temperature control knob
It is used to set the wash temperature. It also allows you to reduce the temperature recommended for the selected
programme, and even to set a cold wash cycle ( ).
C. Drying cycle knob
Use this knob to select the desired drying cycle. Two options are available:
A - Based on time: From 40 minutes to 150.
B - Based on the damp level of the dry clothes:
Iron: slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.
Wardrobe: dry clothes to put away.

Extra dry: very dry clothes, recommended for towelling and bathrobes.
A cooling stage is foreseen at the end of the drying cycle.
D. Detergent dispenser
It is divided into 3 compartments:
1. Detergent for pre-wash;
2. Detergent for the main cycle wash;
3. Fabric conditioner.
The washer-dryer is equipped with an extra compartment 4 (provided as an accessory) for the bleach, to be inserted
in compartment 1.
E. Easy iron
This function allows your washing to come out of the machine without creases, making it much easier to iron. You
can use it with programmes 3-4 (Cotton), 5-6-7 (Synthetics) and 9-10 (Delicates).
Press this button in programmes 5-6-7-9-10 and the wash cycle will come to a stop on symbol . You can complete
it by pressing button E again.
Notes:
- This function should not be used when button G (stain removal) has been pressed.

850 to600 rpm for the synthetic fabrics programmes.
G. Stain removal
With this command, the washer-dryer will carry out a more intensive wash that optimises the effectiveness of the
liquid additives, thus allowing more resistant stains to be removed. When you press the stain removal button, you
cannot activate the pre-wash.
H. ON-OFF
When button H is pressed, the washer-dryer is switched on, when it is not the machine is switched off.
Turning the appliance off does not cancel the selected programme.

Lamp ‘I’ flashes slowly when the appliance is switched on and awaiting instructions and at the end of a cycle,
indicating that the door can be opened. It flashes quickly when the door should not be opened. A steady light means
the appliance has accepted the selected programme.
L. Drying cycle lamp
When this lamp is on, it means that knob C has been set on a drying cycle and at the end of the wash cycle, the
appliance will run the selected tumble drying cycle.

cycle. Follow the instructions for wash only and use knob C to set the type of drying cycle desired, then press button
H (I position).
If the laundry load to be washed and dried exceeds the maximum load foreseen (see table), then follow the
instructions provided for wash only. When the wash cycle has finished, remove your washing, divide it up and
replace part of it inside the drum. Now follow the instructions provided for a dry only cycle. Repeat this procedure
for the remainder of the load.
Dry only
Once you have loaded the washing that needs drying (4 kg max. for cottons, see table for other fabrics), make sure
that:
•The door is shut correctly;
•The plug is inserted in the socket; - the water tap is turned on;
•Button H has not been pressed (O position).
Set the cycle knob
Set knob A on the appropriate drying setting depending on the type of fabric, select the type of drying cycle required
using knob C and then press on-off button H (I position).
At the end of the drying cycle
Wait for lamp ‘I’ to flash slowly, then turn the washer-dryer off by pressing on-off button H (O position). Now you can
open the appliance door. Once you have removed the washing from the appliance, leave the door open or ajar to
avoid the formation of bad odours.
