opened immediately. If the START/PAUSE indicator light is ashing,
press the button to end the cycle. Open the door, unload the laundry and
switch o the machine. If you do not press ON/OFF button, the
washer-dryer will switch o automatically after about 10 minutes.
OPTIONS
- If the selected option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle,
this incompatibility will be signalled by the ashing of the indicator
light and a sound alert (3 beeps); the option will not be activated.
- If the selected option is not compatible with another option that has
been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the rst
option selected will ash and only the second option will be activated;
the indicator light corresponding to the button will remain lit in a
constant manner.
Steam Hygiene
This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during
the wash cycle that eliminates any bacteria from bres while treating
them at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a
compatible programme and select option .
! The steam generated during washing machine operation may cause the
porthole door to become hazy.
Easy Iron
By selecting this option, the wash and spin cycles will be modied in
order to reduce the formation of creases.
At the end of the cycle the washer-dryer drum will rotate slowly; the
“Easy Iron” and START/PAUSE indicator lights will ash. To end the
cycle press the START/PAUSE button or the “Easy Iron” button.
Note: If you also want to run the drying cycle, this option is enabled only
if combined with level “Iron”.
Extra rinse
By selecting this option, the eciency of the rinse is increased and
optimal residual detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful
for skin which is sensitive to detergents. We recommend this option is
used with a full load of washing, or when a large amount of detergent is
required.
Prewash
If this function is selected, the pre-wash cycle will run; this is useful for
removing stubborn stains.
N.B.: put the detergent in the relevant compartment.
Delayed Start
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding
button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached.
During the setting procedure, the delay period and the text “Starts in:”
will be displayed, along with the ashing symbol. After the delayed
start has been set, the symbol will remain xed on the display, which
will also indicate the duration of the selected cycle with the text “Ends
in:” and the cycle duration. Press the DELAYED START button just once to
display the delay time set previously.
After the countdown has begun, the display will show the text “Starts in:”
and the delay period. Once the set delay time has elapsed, the machine
will begin its cycle and the display will show “Ends in:” and the time
remaining until the end of the cycle.
To remove the delayed start option, press the button until the display
shows the text OFF; the symbol will disappear.
Temperature
press to modify or exclude the temperature setting; the value selected
will appear on the display above.
Spin cycle
press to modify or exclude the spin cycle; the value selected will appear
on the display above.
Drying
The rst time the button is pressed, the machine will automatically
select the maximum drying cycle which is compatible with the selected
wash cycle. Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then
the drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”). If these
buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored.
Drying may be set as follows:
A - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes.
B- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard
without being ironed.
Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such as
sponges and bathrobes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the
maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is
complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back
in the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying
only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.
A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle ( - - ) in
accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or time may
also be set using the DRYING button .
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Sort your laundry according to
Type of fabric/care label (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, handwash
items). Colour (separate coloured and white items, wash new coloured
items separately). Delicates (wash small items – like nylon stockings – and
items with hooks – like bras – in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip).
Empty all pockets
Objects like coins or lighters can damage your laundry as well as the drum.
Follow the dosage recommendation / additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent
in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus 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
“PROGRAMME CHART” 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 washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine
periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Cutting o the water and electricity supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. 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 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 self-cleaning pump that 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. position a container so that it will collect the water which ows out
(approximately 1.5 l).
3. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is
normal for some water to leak out;
4. clean the inside thoroughly;
5. screw the cover back on;
6. 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 water 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.
DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM
The washing machine features the innovative “Direct Injection”
technology that quickly solubilises the detergent and eciently activates
all the various components. The system guarantees the complete use
and dissolution of the detergent, which is mixed with water before
reaching the garments. This ensures better cleaning results already at
low temperatures, providing signicant energy savings while perfectly
protecting colours and bres. The “Direct Injection” technology is
activated automatically in all the cycles.
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 washer-dryer 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”.
