User manual Washer Dryer
Installation
! 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 washing machine 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
! This is a separate part of the polysty- rene base and should be removed with the base.
! IMPORTANT check when unpacking your machine.
1.Unpack the washing machine.
2.Check whether the washing machine has been damaged du- ring transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.
3.Remove the 4 pro- tective screws and the rubber bush with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see also the installation lea- flet).
4.Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs pro- vided.
5.Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.
Levelling
Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabi- nets or other.
2.If the floor is not perfectly level, com- pensate 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°.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provi- de 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 washing machine.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1.Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas thre- aded connection (see figure). Before per- forming the connec- tion, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the washing machine, 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 page 5).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water through. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus prevent water reaching the machine.
Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain hose, without ben- ding 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 ensu- re that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot.
If it is placed over the edge of a ba- sin or sink be sure the free end of the hose should not be underwater.
! We advise against the use of hose exten- sions; in case of absolute need, the exten- sion 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 applian- ce’s maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table (see page 5);
•the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine.
• 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 APPLIANCE MUST BE EAR- THED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
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 moul- ded 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 ampe- re rewireable 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 so- cket.
Instructions for connecting cable to an alter- native plug:
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond with the coloured markings iden- tifying 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 regarding the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.
How to connect an alternative plug:
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Disposing of the appliance:
When disposing of the appliance please re- move the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body and dispo- se of it as described on the previous page.
! The washer-dryer should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even where the area is sheltered, because it may be very dan- gerous to leave it exposed to damp, rain and thunderstorms.
! When the washer-dryer 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 repla- ced by an authorised serviceman.
Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.
The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the wash cycle 1.
Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electricity supplies
•Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washer dryer and help to prevent leaks.
•Unplug the washer dryer when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washer dryer
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispen- ser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).
Wash it under run- ning 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 from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self- cleaning pump which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre- chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. using a screwdri- ver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure);
2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti- clockwise (see fi- gure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;
3.clean the inside thoroughly;
4.screw the lid back on;
5.reposition the panel, making sure the ho- oks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.
! Never use second-hand hoses.

To cancel the set wash cycle, pause the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button and select a new cycle.
9.At the end of the wash cycle the indicator light will switch on. The DOOR LOCKED indicator light will switch off, indicating that the door may be opened (wait approximately 3 minutes). Take out your laundry and leave the appliance door ajar to make sure the drum dries completely. Switch the Washer-dryer off by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Troubleshooting
Your Washer-dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.
Problem: | Possible causes / Solutions: |
The machine does not switch on. |
•The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact. •There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug. |
The wash cycle does not start. | •The door is not closed properly. •The ON/OFF button has not been pressed. •The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. •The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine. •The ‘DELAY TIMER’ has been selected. |
The machine does not dry. | •Check the 2 sections above. •The ‘DRY’ selector knob is in the position. |
The clothes are too hot when the drying cycle is finished. | •A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle. If the clothes appear too hot to handle leave the door open to allow to cool further before removing from the machine. |
The machine does not fill with water or the indicator light for the first wash cycle stage flashes rapidly. | •The water inlet hose is kinked. •The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply. •The water pressure is too low. •The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine. •There is no water supply to the house. •The inlet valve filter is blocked. •The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed. |
The machine continuously fills with water and continually drains away or Water left in the drum or Stuck on wash. | •The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”). •The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose. •The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the ‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose. |
The machine does not drain or spin (error lights flashing). | •The Pump filter is blocked - (see Care & Maintenance). •The drain hose is kinked. •New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if con- nected under a sink. •The drain hose or sink trap is blocked. |
The wash programme takes too long. | • Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperatu- re and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme time accordingly (see ‘The machine wont spin properly’ below) - (Most Common Cause) |
The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle. | •The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock. •New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine. •The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls. •Theloadisin a slightoutofbalanceconditionandmachineisspinning,butata lowerspeed. |
The machine is noisy.
| •There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin. |
| The machine wont spin properly. | •Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to pre- vent damage. Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt, etc). - Try the programme again using a different load. |
| The machine leaks from the dispenser. | •The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning. •The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again. •The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position. |
| The machine leaks (other than dispenser). | •The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends. •The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill hose is missing the rubber washer. •The drain hose is not fixed in properly. |
| The ‘START/PAUSE’ indicator light illuminates Orange and the function indicator lights flash rapidly. | •Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it back on again If the problem persists contact the Technical Assistance Service. |
| The machine smells. | •The machine requires a service wash. Run a n°1 wash cycle with detergent and no laundry. |
| The machine door cannot be opened. | •The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after the program has finished. •If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlo- cking procedure (see Precautions & Tips). |
| Door Seal damaged at the bottom. | •The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal. |
| The water level is too low when the machine is washing. | •The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door. |
| There is too much foam. | •The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text ‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like). •Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water. |
After completing the programme, or before starting a programme, the ma- chine has turned itself off (no lights). | •To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to acti- vate the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected. |
General. | •Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/pro- gress). Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to be anything wrong! |
