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, co pen-
sate for any unevenness
by tightening or loosening
the adjustable front feet
(see figure); the angle of
inclination, easured in
relation to the worktop,
ust not exceed 2°.
Levelling the achine correctly will provide it with
stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise
and prevent it fro 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 perfor ing 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

dryer, even those which state hand wash only
on the label. Wash cycle therefore offers co plete
peace of ind when washing woollen gar ents in the
washer dryer ( ax. load 1.5 kg) and guarantees
opti al perfor ance.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
and to distribute the load in a unifor anner, the
dru rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly
greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after
several atte pts, the load is not balanced correctly,
the achine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the
load is excessively unbalanced, the washer dryer
perfor s the distribution process instead of spinning.
To encourage i proved load distribution and balance,
we reco end s all and large gar ents are ixed
in the load.

Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
 Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This
will li it wear on the hydraulic syste inside the
washer dryer and help to prevent leaks.
 Unplug the washer dryer when cleaning it and
during all aintenance work.
Cleaning the washer dryer
The outer parts and rubber co ponents of the
appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked
in lukewar soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
Re ove 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 fro for ing.
Cleaning the pump
The washer dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pu p
which does not require any aintenance.
So eti es, s all ite s (such as coins or buttons)
ay fall into the pre-cha ber which protects the
pu p, situated in its botto part.
 Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.

2. clean the inside thoroughly;
3. screw the lid back on;
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are
any cracks, it should be replaced i ediately: during
the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a
cracked hose could easily split open.
 Never use second-hand hoses.

Problem:
The washer dryer does not
switch on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The washer dryer does not take
in water (the text "NO WATER,
CHECK SUPPLY" appears
on the display).
The washer dryer continuously
takes in and
drains water.
The washer dryer does not drain
or spin.
The washer dryer vibrates a lot
during the spin cycle.
The washer dryer leaks.
The machine is locked and the
display flashes, indicating an
error code (e.g. F-01, F-..).
There is too much foam.
The washer-dryer does not dry.
Possible causes / Solutions:
 The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not aking contact.
 There is no power in the house.
 The washer dryer door is not closed properly.
 The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
 The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
