Instructions for use
GB

GB
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold,
transferred or moved, make sure the instruction
manual accompanies the Washer-dryer to inform the
new owner as to its operation and features.
Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the Washer-dryer.
2. Check whether the Washer-dryer has been
damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not
install it and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the four
protective screws and
the rubber washer with
the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance (see
figure).
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the
Washer-dryer needs to be moved to another
location.
Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Levelling
1. Install the Washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets
or other.
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 according to
the worktop, must not
exceed 2°.
evelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose
carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow
enough room for ventilation beneath the Washer-
dryer.
Electric and water connections
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
mouth (see figure).
Before making the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until
it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end
of the water inlet hose to
the Washer-dryer,
screwing it onto the
appliance's cold water
inlet, situated on the top
right-hand side on the
rear of the appliance
(see figure).
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page).
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact
a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

GB
Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a
draining duct or a wall
drain situated between
65 and 100 cm from
the floor;
The drain hose may be
connected to an
under-sink trap. Before
connecting the drain
hose from the machine
ensure that any blanks
or removable ends
have been taken off
the spigot.
If it is place over the
edge of a basin or sink
be sure the free end of
the hose should not be
underwater.
 We advise against the use of hose extensions; in
case of absolute need, the extension must have the
same diameter as the original hose and must not
exceed 150 cm in length.
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a
standpipe, that the end does not go down more
than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down
too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon
ie. continuously empty as it is filling.
Electric connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains
socket, make sure that:
 the socket is earthed and in compliance with the
applicable law;
 the socket is able to sustain the appliance's
maximum power load indicated in the Technical
details table (see page 5);
 the supply voltage is included within the values i
ndicated on the Technical details table
(see page 5);
 the socket is compatible with the washing
machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace
the socket or the plug.
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused
plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for
immediate use. Before using the appliance please
read the instructions below.
WARNING - THIS APP IANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FO OWING OPERATIONS SHOU D BE
CARRIED OUT BY A QUA IFIED E ECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used,
and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost,
the plug must not be used until a replacement is
obtained.
Replacement fuse covers:
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of
the correct colour as indicated by the coloured
marking or the colour that is embossed in words on
the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained
directly from your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable
through partitions, units etc., please ensure that
either:
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-
wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
or:
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable
outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with
BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the
appliance.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be
accidentally inserted into a socket.
Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow Earth

the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E
or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or
coloured Red.
Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured
Black.
If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted
with a
13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the
distribution board.
If you are in any doubt the electrical supply to your
machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible
to the plug body and dispose of it as described
above.
 The washing machine should not be installed in an
outdoor environment, not even when the area is
sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to
leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.
 When the washing machine is installed, the mains
socket must be within easy reach.
 Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.
 The power supply cable must never be bent or
dangerously compressed.
 The power supply cable must only be replaced by
an authorised serviceman.

Detergent dispenser
Good washing results also depend on the correct
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't
necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may
in fact cause build up on the interior of your
appliance and even pollute the environment.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in
the detergent and fabric
softener, as follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash
(powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
iquid detergent should only be poured in
immediately prior to the wash cycle start.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
 Do not use hand wash detergent because it may
form too much foam.
Preparing your laundry
 Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites.
 Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
 Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,
which refer to the weight when dry:
Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg
Wool: max 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
pecial items
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 6
which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are
padded with goose or duck down, they can be
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and
load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle
once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.
Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,
taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.
