3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important !
The appliance must be installed by a specialised technician according to current regulations.
This washer dryer is very heavy. Take care when lifting it.
3.1 UNPACKING
The inside of the machine comprises a moving assembly which is blocked for transport purposes by the screws
(A) located at the rear of the washer dryer.
1. Release the assembly by removing these screws with a 13 mm wrench.
2. Removethescrews (A) and relative spacers (B)from the back of the washer dryer.
3. To prevent waterfrom entering the machine or people from touching live components with their fingers, close
the four holes left openby the screws with the supplied plastic plugs (C).
Attention!
•Do not turn the machine upside down and do not place it on its side.
•Keep all the components used to block the drum assembly as they will be needed if you decide to move the
appliance in future.
3.2 POSITIONING ANDLEVELLING
1. Place the appliance in the
chosen position.
2. Carefully level the machine in
all directions using a spirit
level and adjusting the height
of the feet if necessary. After
adjusting the machine, lock
the feet with the relative lock
nuts.
The water inlet and drain hoses can be turned to the right or left depending on installation requirements.
Attention!
•Carryout thisoperation carefully to prevent the washing machine from vibrating, generating noiseor

3.3 WATERSUPPLY CONNECTION
1. Check that inlet pressure lies between the following values: 50-900kPa. For higher
pressures, install a pressure reducer.
2. Connect the cold water inlet hose (lightblue ring nut) to the cold water tap with a ¾
gas thread, taking care to screw it firmly into place in order to prevent leaks. The water
inlet hose must not be bent or crushed and must not be replaced or cut.
3. If a hot water inlet is used, inlet water temperature must not exceed 60°C and the
hose with the red ring nut must be connected to the hot water tap.
Attention!
•If the water pipe is new or has not been usedf or a long time, let a certain amount of water run before attach-
ing the inlet hose. This stops any deposits of sand and other impurities from clogging thefilters used by the
machine to protect the water inletvalves.
3.4 DRAINCONNECTION
1. Insert the end of the drain hose into a drain pipe having an internal diameter of at least 4 cm and a height
ranging between 50 and 90 cm, or attach it (using the relative curved plastic profile) to a basin or bath tub.
2.
2. Always check that the end of the drain hose is securely attached in order to prevent the repulsive force of
the water from moving it out of position.
Attention!
•Do not bend or obstruct the hose as this will reduce theflow of water.
•Any extensions to the drain hose must not exceed 1 metre, they must have the same internal diameter and
must not be obstructed in any way.
•In no case may the end of the drain hose be submerged in water.
3.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Beforefittingtheplug intothesocket, makesurethat:
1. Input voltage matches that indicated on the name plate attached to the inner edge of the door.
2. The contactor, pressure relief valves, power line and socket are capable of withstanding the maximum

Attention!
•Do not wash unhemmed or torn garments as they may fray.
•Foreign bodies may damage garments or machine components. Therefore, empty all pockets and turn them
inside out, remove rollersfrom curtains or put them in a string bag.
•Put very small articles (belts, handkerchiefs, socks, bras with stiffeners, etc.) into a white canvas bag. Close
push buttons and zips and sew on dangling buttons.
•Modern detergents and correct washing temperatures are generally sufficient to remove stains from fabrics.
However, some stubborn stains, such as grass, fruit, egg, blood, rust and biro, should be pre-treated before
washing. Depending on the type of fabric, many stain removers can be found in the shops. Stains
should always be cleaned or diluted immediately as the older they get, the more difficult they are to
remove.
•Garments may be damaged if fabric care symbols are not observed.
Wool – Only pure wool, identified by or with the label <<shrink-proof machine washable and dryable>> can
be machine washed with the specific programme, other types of wool should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned.
5.2 OPENING THE DOOR
The machine is fitted with a safety device that prevents the door from opening while it is working.
1.Before opening the door, wait 1 or 2 minutes after the programme ends (“End” LED on) to allow the
safety device to disengage.
2.Make sure there is no water in the tub and that the drum is not moving. Open the door by pressing the
“Open door” button on thefront panel and pulling it open.
Attention!
•If the washing programme is interrupted, you will have to wait from 3 to 15 minutes, depending on the tem-
perature of the water, before the door opens.
Attention!
The water may still be boiling if the washing cycle was performed at high temperatures.
If thereis still water insidethedrum, do not open thedoor!

37
5.3 PREPARING THE WASHING
Where possible, save electricity by washing full loads divided by type of fabric. Introduce loose washing and
alternate large items with small ones. For the first few times, weigh the loads of washing and then rely on your
judgement. Average weights of common garments are shown below:
5.4 LOADING THE WASHING
1.Open the door and load the washing taking care to distribute it uniformly, loosely and not packed into the drum;
alternate large items with small ones if possible.
2.The washer dryer described in this manual can be loaded with up to 5kg of washing. Heavier loads will lead to
unsatisfactory washing results and may cause the machine to work incorrectly.
3.To save energy, wash full loads divided by type of fabric, according to the quantities indicated in the “Pro-
grammes chart” supplied with this manual.
4.Close the door by pressing it against the body of the appliance until you hear a click. Make sure no garments
have got caught between the door and the rubber gasket.
Attention!
•If the door is not closed properly, asafety device prevents the washer dryerfrom working.
•Do notuse more than therecommended amountof detergent: too much maydeteriorate washing re-
sults.
5.5 ADDING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
Follow the instructions shown in the “Programme Chart” provided to-
gether with the manual and add detergent and any additives to the
relative compartment before starting the programme.
Pour the pre-wash powder detergent into the compartment marked
“1”.
Pour main wash detergent into compartment “2”. Machine accessories
include a red insert “A” that can be placed inside compartment “2” to
allow liquid detergent to be used. The additives are automatically in-
troduced into the tub duringfinal rinsing.
Pour liquid additives such as starch and fabric softener into “3”,
marked with .
If bleach can be used with the machine (no cover marked with ) add bleach to compartment “4” if you wish.
The level of the liquids must not exceed the maximum limit, otherwise the trays will be emptied too soon.
Before pouring thick additives into the tray, dilute them with a little water to prevent themfrom obstructing the trap.
Only usefoam-controlled detergent suitable for use in washer dryers.
Determine the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of the water, and the type, quantity and
dirtiness of the washing.
This will allowyou to obtain the required effect using as little detergent as possible.
Detergent packs indicate the quantities to use according to 4 levels of hardness andfor normally dirty loads of 4-5
kg.
Ask your local water board to tell you how hardyour water is.

5.6 DOSING POWDER DETERGENTS
Normallydirtywashing
1.Choose a programme without prewash.
2.Pour the total quantity of detergent indicated on the packs into compartment “2” of thedetergent tray.
Very dirtywashing
1. Choose a programme with prewash.
2. Add ¼ of the recommended quantity of detergent into compartment “1” of the detergent tray and ¾ of the de-
tergent into compartment “2”.
Attention!
•If there are no dosage indications for delicate synthetics, addfrom ½ to 2/3 of the recommended quantity for
resistant cottons.
•For the wool programme, only use neutral detergentsfor woollens.
•Base your doses according to the detergent manufacturer's recommendations.
5.7 DOSING LIQUID DETERGENTS
1. Pour the recommended dose into the batcher supplied withthe liquid detergent and place it inside the drum;
otherwise, pour it into compartment “2” of the detergent tray after fitting the relative red insert “A” (see para-

2. The scale on the red insert will help you to use the right quantity of liquid detergent.
Attention!
•Liquid detergents can be used according to the manufacturer's recommended dose only for the main wash-
ing cycle, that is, in all programmes without prewash.
•When compartment “2” is used for powder detergent, the red insert “A” must be removed.
5.8 SCALE-REMOVERS
Scale-removers can be introduced into compartments “1” and “2” according to the manufacturer's indications.
First, add the detergent and then the scale-remover.
5.9SWITCHING ONTHEMACHINEANDSELECTINGTHEWASHING PROGRAMME
To switch on the machine and select programmes, proceed as follows:
1.Turn the programmeknob in either direction.
2.Select the washing temperature, within the sectors marked on the front panel by the following words:
•Cotton, coloureds
•Wool
•Synthetics, delicates
The washer dryer has the following basic washing programmes which, by adjusting the temperature and
using thevarious buttonfunctions, allow a wide range of programmes to be setfor all requirements.
Intensive washing programme
forresistant
U cotton U , U coloured U or U hemp U fabrics.
Delicate washing programmes
for delicate
U artificial synthetic fibres U , U blends U or U linen U fabrics.
They prevent thef ormation of creases that are difficult to remove during iron-
ing.
Wool programme
only for garments marked “
U pure wool U ” washable, treated, shrink proof. Other
types of wool should be hand washed or dry-cleaned.
To select programmes according to the type of fabric, consult the “Programme chart” supplied to-
gether with this manual.

U Display information
When the machine is switched on, the display visualises
the duration (hours/minutes) and maximum spin speed
envisaged for the programme. These two parameters are
displayed alternatively for 3 seconds each, together with
their relative LED's, until the selected programme starts.
Attention!
•The following partial washing programmes can be set
using the programmes knob:
-Rinse with additive
-Drain and spin
-Fabric softener
These partial programmes are inside the Cotton, Synthetics and Wool sectors, except for the drain and spin
programme (Drain
) .
•If the indicated temperature shows 0°, this means that the programme performs a cold wash cycle. The same
cold wash is also performedby theHand wash programme in the Wool sector.
•The fabric treatment labels show which washing temperature must be set.
•If various garments in the same load require different washing temperatures, choose the lowest wash-
ing temperature of all.
•If the laundry is only slightly dirty and does not need the bleaching effect of high temperatures, a lower tem-
perature can be chosen to save power. In spite of the low temperature and consequent saving of electric-
ity, an automatic time control keeps the duration of the main washing unvaried compared with that of a high
temperature programme. It is therefore possible to successfully wash normally dirty laundry at lower wash-
ing temperatures than the maximum temperatures shown on the fabric care labels.

6. DRYING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 GENERAL
The washing is dried by means of a continuous flow of hot air produced by a fan which passes through the drum
and removes humidity from the washing.
This humidity is then condensed inside the machine when it comes into contact with the cold water.
For this reason, the water tap must be leftopen and the drain hose must be correctly positioned during
drying cycles.
This machine allows wash-only, dry-only and wash+dry programmes to be set.
In the latter programmes, the cycle shifts automatically from washing to drying without having to touch the controls
to continue the cycle after washing.
Warnings
•Only dry linen or garments washed in a water-based solution and suitablefor tumble drying.
•Do not dry fabrics that have been dry-cleaned or stain-removed with chemical solvents, woollens or
blended woollens that shrink with heat, very delicate fabrics such as silk and synthetic net curtains, fab-
rics that can easily fray such as loose wool, padding and excessively frayed carpets, articles containing
foam rubber or similar elastomers.
•The quantity of washing that can be introduced into the washer dryer for drying must not exceed
2.5kg. This washer dryer has been built to offermaximum performance with dry loads weighing not more
than 2.5 kg.
•When intensive washing programmes are set, drying is automatically performed at 90°C, while drying
times may vary from 20 to 120 minutes.
•For delicate programmes, drying is automatically performed at 60°C, again with drying timesvarying from
20 to 120 minutes.

•For automatic wash+dry programmes, therefore, the drying temperature depends on which washing pro-
gramme is selected.
•The washing must have been previously washed and spun before a dry-only programme can be per-
formed.
•When drying particularly fluffy items such as new terry towels, the "Rinse" program should be carried out
to ensure that any deposits left by thefabric are removed, and are not deposited on the clothes in the
next wash.
Important – Do not dry fabrics that cannot withstand temperatures of 60°C or in any case fabrics that cannot
withstand the selected temperature.

6.1.2 EXTRADRYING
If the washing is still too wet when the programme finishes, set a brief timed drying cycle.
Caution!: do not dry garments too much as they may crease or shrink.
6.2 WASH-ONLY PROGRAMMES
Follow the instructions contained in chapter 5 – Washing instructions, taking care to set drying time to 0 with the
Select programme and drying time button (see chapter 4 – Description of controls, letter I).
6.3 WASH+DRY PROGRAMMES
Washing and drying programmes can be automatically performed with intensive cycles (cottons, coloureds) and
synthetics/delicates cycles. For the latter, only delicate drying is allowed (drying at 60°C, identified by the LED with
the “-” sign), while for cotton and coloured garments, both the delicate drying programme (drying at 60°C, “-”) and
the intensive drying programme (drying at 90°C, “
+ ”) are allowed. If a wool washing programme is selected, auto-
matic drying is not possible after washing.
To wash and dry automatically, a load of washing weighing no more than 2.5 kg ofcotton or 1.5 kg of synthet-
ics should be used.
Therefore, if the load to wash and dry exceeds the above quantities, an automatic washing programme should not
be set and, at the end, the load will have to be divided in half and drying done in two steps.
To set an automatic wash+dryprogramme, proceed asfollows:
1. Select the washing programme as shown in paragraph 5.9;
2. Select the required spin speed as shown in paragraph 5.10.1;
3. Press the select drying programmes and drying times button ( ). The LED over the button lights up as does
the delicate drying times LED (“-”). The display shows the time (hours/minutes) setfor the selected drying
programme. Initially, the time is equal to 0h 0’ for all programmes.

4. Press the select button ( ) repeatedly, the drying time (hours/minutes) starts from 0 hours 20 minutes and
increases by 10 minutes every time the button is pressed, up to a maximum of 2 hours. Press the button
again, the time starts again from 0h 0minutes andthe LED switches from delicate drying (-
) to intensive
drying (+
) or vice-versa. Press the button again to increase by 10 minutes and so on up to 2 hours.
Switching from intensive (
+ ) to delicate ( - ) drying or vice-versa can also be achieved by holding down the
button for at least 4 seconds.
Drying times depend on the spin speed: the higher the speed the lower the drying time and, consequently, the
lower the power consumption.
Choose the highest spin speed compatible with the type of washing.
5. To start the washing programme, automatically followed by the drying programme, follow the instructions
shown in paragraph 5.11 – Starting the washing programme. During washing and drying, the display visual-
ises the time remaining and the LED ov er the select dry ing programme and drying times button lights up. This
indicates that the washing programme will befollowed by the drying programme.
Warnings
If the spin speed is set to 0 (no spin and stopping with the tub full), the machine does not automatically perform
the drying cycle.
6.4 DRY-ONLY PROGRAMME
When the washing cycle has terminated, programme drying as follows:
1. Switch off the machine by turning the select washing/drying programmes knob to OFF.
2. Turn the knob to the drying programme marked with ;
3. Select the spin speed with the select spin speed button ( ) as described in paragraph 5.10.1 and remember
that the spin option is only possible for the intensive drying programme (“+”) and for drying times ranging
from 1h 30’ to 2h 0’;
4. Select the drying time and programme (intensive or delicate) as described in paragraph 6.3 – Wash+dry pro-
gramme.
5. Press the “Start-Pause” button to begin the drying programme. During the drying programme, the display
shows the information indicated in paragraph 6.3 – Wash+dry programme.
Warnings
•As the washing programme has not been selected, the drying programme (intensive or delicate) can be cho-
sen as required. Bear in mind that intensive drying (LED marked + and drying temperature of 90°C) is rec-
ommended for cottons and coloureds, while delicate drying LED marked - and dryingtemperature of 60°C) is
recommendedfor synthetics and delicates.
•To obtain satisfactory drying results, the load must not exceed 2.5 kg of cottons or 1.5 kg of synthetics.
