Steam Hygiene
The washing performance is enhanced by the generation of steam at the
end of the wash cycle that removes up to 99,9% of viruses and bacteria*,
without the use of sanitizing additives.
! The steam generated during the operation of the washer-dryer may
cause the porthole door to become hazy.
*Independently tested by Intertek on Rodent Protoparvovirus type 1, a representative virus, and for bacteria by
Allergy UK on Cotton 60°C program with Steam Hygiene option activated.
Multi Rinse
This option allows for selecting the desired rinse type to protect sensitive
skin. Press the button once to set level “Extra +1”, which allows for selecting
an additional rinse to the standard cycle rinses and removing all traces of
detergent. Press the button again to set level “Extra +2”, which allows for
selecting two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; this cycle is
recommended for very sensitive skin. When the button is pressed for the
third time, the “Extra +3” level is set, which allows for selecting 3 additional
rinses to the standard cycle rinses. When started with cycles at a temperature
of 40°C, this option makes it possible to remove major allergens such as
pollen and cat or dog hair. With cycles running at temperatures higher than
40°C, an excellent level of anti-allergy protection is achieved. Press the button
again to return to the “Normal Rinse” mode. If the current mode cannot be
set nor changed, the display will show “This action is not allowed”.
Delay Timer
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding button
repeatedly until the desired delay period is reached. To remove the delayed
start setting, press the button until “-- h” appears on the display.
Temperature
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the
temperature, press the button. The value will appear on the display.
Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,
press the button. The value will appear on the display.
Active Care
The washer dryer is equipped with the innovative technology “Active
Care” which can be activated on 2 modes:
- When Active Care is on “Wash” mode, water and detergent are pre-
mixed, thus immediately activating the detergent’s cleaning ingredients.
This active emulsion is directly introduced into the washer dryer drum
and penetrates the bres more eectively to clean stubborn dirt at low
temperatures, while fully preserving the colours and fabrics.
- When Active Care is on “Wash+Dry” mode, in addition to the benet
of the “Wash” mode, the Active Care technology sets the right drying
temperature to ensure impeccable drying results.
! Please note that in “Wash+Dry” mode the drying phase is automatically
activated and will start immediately after the washing phase without
interruption.
The cycles compatible with Active Care are: Cotton, Synthetics, Anti
Allergy, Anti Stain and Intense 60-90°C
! The option modies the cycle duration.
Drying level
The “Drying level” button adds a drying phase that will start automatically
at the end of the washing phase, without interruption. The machine will
select the maximum drying level which is compatible with the chosen wash
cycle. It is possible to change the drying setting by pressing the button and
choosing the desired laundry dryness level or drying time:
Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such
as bathrobes.
Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard
without being ironed.
Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards; the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
Drying time: from 180 to 30 minutes.
! A cooling down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is bigger than the maximum
stated drying capacity of the machine, perform only the washing.
Then unload some garments from the drum, until the maximum drying
capacity is reached. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a
“Dry Only” cycle.
Dry only
The “Dry Only” button allows you to start a drying-only cycle.
Select the wash cycle compatible with the type of garments you wish to
dry, then press the button to skip the washing phase and perform
only the drying.
The drying level is automatically set at the maximum for the selected
cycle. It is possible to change it by pressing the drying button . Press
start. Compatible cycles listed in the “wash cycle table”
! A cooling down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
KEY LOCK
To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for
roughly 2 seconds. When the display visualises “KEY LOCK ON”, the control
panel is locked (except for the ON/OFF button ). This will prevent
accidental modications to wash cycles, especially when children are at
home. To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the
button for approximately 2 seconds.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a
fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washer-dryer and the
drum. Check all pockets.
Follow the dosage recommendation / additives
To optimise cleaning results, and avoid skin irritation from excess detergent
residue. Also saving money, by avoiding wasting detergent.
Use low temperature and longer duration
The most ecient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally
those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes
Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the “Wash Cycle
Table” table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are inuenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed
in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining
moisture content.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washer-dryer o
and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to
clean the washer-dryer. Clean and maintain your washer-dryer periodically
(at least 4 times per year).
Cutting o the water and electricity supplies
Turn o 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.
The washer-dryer has a “Auto Clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must be
run without any load in the drum.
To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the detergent (i.e. a
quantity 10% the quantity specied for lightly-soiled garments) or special
additives to clean the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning
programme every 40 wash cycles.
To activate the cycle, press the button for 5 seconds then press START/
PAUSE to start the cycle, which will last roughly 70 minutes.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it
under running water; this procedure should be eected regularly.
Caring for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washer-dryer is tted with a Auto Clean pump which does not require
any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes
fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump.
! Make sure that the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. remove the covering panel on the front side of the machine by inserting
a screwdriver in the centre and sides of the panel and using it as a lever;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is
normal for some water to leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cover back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before
pushing the panel onto the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it must
be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could
suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every
spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing
rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced
correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is
excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution
process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and
balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
ACCESSORIES
Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following
accessories are available for this washer-dryer model.
Stacking kit
With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of
your washer-dryer to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of
the tumble dryer.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washer-dryer by gripping it from the upper section.
Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and
detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose
from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water
remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get
damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in
reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the
“Installation instructions”.
