Installation
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for 
future reference. If the washer-dryer is sold, transferred or 
moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with 
the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise 
himself/herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor -
mation relating to the safe installation and operation of the 
appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washer-dryer from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washer-dryer has not been damaged 
during the transportation process. If it has been damaged, 
contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the 
installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective 
screws (used during tran-
sportation) and the rubber 
washer with the correspon-
ding spacer, located on the 
rear part of the appliance 
(see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them 
again if the washer-dryer needs to be moved to another 
location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for 
children.
Levelling
1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without re-
sting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly 
level, compensate for any 
unevenness by tightening 
or loosening the adjusta-
ble front feet (see figure); 
the angle of inclination, 
measured in relation to the 
worktop, must not exceed 
2°. Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with stability, 
help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it 
from 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. Connect the supply pipe 
by screwing it to a cold 
water tab using a ¾ gas 
threaded connection (see 
figure). 
Before performing the con-
nection, 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 corre-
sponding water inlet of the 
appliance, which is situa -
ted on the top right-hand 
side of the rear part of the 
appliance (see figure) .
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values 
indicated in the Technical details table (see next page).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised 
shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose
 
Connect the drain hose, 
without bending 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 connec-
ting the drain hose from 
the machine ensure that 
any blanks or removable 
ends have been taken off 
the spigot. 
If it is place over the edge 
of a basin or sink be sure 
the free end of the hose 
should not be underwa -
ter.
 
! We advise against the use of hose extensions ; in case 
of absolute need, the extension 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 in-
ches). 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 appliance’s    
  maximum power load indicated in the Technical    
  details table  (see page 5); •  
the supply voltage is included within the values i   
  ndicated on the Technical details table 
  (see page 5);
•   the socket is compatible with the washing    
  machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace    
  the socket or the plug.

How to run a wash cycle or a 
drying cycle
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the  button; 
the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a 
green colour.
2.  LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door. 
Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed 
the maximum load value indicated in the table of 
programmes on the following page.
3.  MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the 
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into 
the relevant compartments as described in  “Detergents 
and laundry”.
4. CLOSE THE DOOR.
5.  SELECT THE WASH CYCLE.  Set the WASH CYCLE 
knob to the desired programme; a temperature and 
spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be 
adjusted. The duration of the cycle will appear on the 
display.
6.  CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE.  Use the relevant 
buttons:
 
  Modifying the temperature and/or spin 
speed.  The machine automatically displays the 
maximum temperature and spin speed values set for 
the selected cycle, or the most recently-used settings 
if they are compatible with the selected cycle. The 
temperature can be decreased by pressing the 
 
button, until the cold wash “OFF” setting is reached. 
The spin speed may be progressively reduced by 
pressing the 
 button, until it is completely excluded 
(the “OFF” setting). If these buttons are pressed again, 
the maximum values are restored.
 
  Setting the drying cycle
The first 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 ”).
  Drying may be set as follows:
  A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
  Iron dry: suitable for clothes which will need ironing 
afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases, 
making them easier to remove; “A1” appears on the 
display.
  Hanger dry: ideal for clothes which do not need to be 
dried fully; “ A2” appears on the display.
  Cupboard dry:  suitable for laundry which can be put 
back in a cupboard without being ironed; “A3” appears 
on the display.
  Extra dry: suitable for garments which need to be dried 
completely, such as sponges and bathrobes “A4”; 
appears on the display.
B - Based on a set time period: between  30 and 180 
minutes. If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much 
greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent 
table), 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.
N.B: 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   
( 11-12) in accordance with the type of fabric. The 
desired drying level or time may also be set using the

option which has been selected previously, the indicator 
light corresponding to the first option selected will 
flash and only the second option will be activated; the 
indicator light corresponding to the enabled option will 
remain lit.
!  The options may affect the recommended load value 
and/or the duration of the cycle.
7.  START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/PAUSE 
button. The corresponding indicator light will become 
green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will 
be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol

Wash cycles and options
Wash options
Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum 
rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly 
soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the 
“Table of 
wash cycles”
). “” enables you to wash in less time 
thereby saving water and electricity. We suggest using a 
liquid detergent suitably measured out to the load quantity. 
! This function may not be used in conjunction with cycles 
1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 
, , .
 Intensive Wash
Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial 
phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle 
duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with cycles 
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 
, , . 
 Easy iron
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be 
modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At 
the end of the cycle the Washer-dryer will perform slow ro-
tations of the drum; the indicator lights for the EASY IRON 
Table of wash cycles
and START/PAUSE options will flash (the first one green, 
the second orange).  
To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the 
EASY IRON button.   
For the 6 wash cycle, the machine will end the cycle while 
the laundry is soaking and the EASY IRON and START/
PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To drain the water so that 
the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE 
button or the EASY IRON button.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with  cycles 
5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 
, .

GBDetergent dispenser drawer
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of 
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause 
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to 
environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these 
create too much foam. Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour 
in the detergent or washing 
additive, as follows.
! Do not pour detergent into the compartment  1. 
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment  2.
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle 
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately 
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
Preparing the laundry
• Divide the laundry according to:
  - the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
  - the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the weight  of the laundry when dry:
  Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg
  Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
  Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
  Wool: max. 1,5 kg 
Silk: max. 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
  1 sheet 400-500 g
  1 pillow case 150-200 g
  1 tablecloth 400-500 g
  1 bathrobe 900-1200 g
  1 towel 150-250 g
Special wash cycles
Wool:  all wool garments can be washed using programme 
5, even those carrying the “hand-wash only” 
 label. For 
best results, use special detergents and do not exceed 1,5 
kg of laundry.
Silk:  use special wash cycle  6 to wash all silk garments. 
We recommend the use of special detergent which has 
been designed to wash delicate clothes. Curtains:
 fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or 
mesh bag. Use wash cycle  6.
Jeans:  Turn garments inside-out before washing and use 
a liquid detergent. Use programme 7.
Sport Intensive  (wash cycle 8) is for washing heavily 
soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for 
best results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum 
load indicated in the 
“Table of wash cycles”. 
Sport Light  (wash cycle 9): is for washing lightly soiled 
sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.); for best 
results, we recommend not exceeding the maximum load 
indicated in the  “Table of wash cycles”.  We recommend 
using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-
load.
Sport Shoes  (wash cycle 10): is for washing sports 
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs 
simultaneously. 
Express Wash & Dry  (wash cycle 13) was designed to 
wash and dry lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle 
may be used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 0.5 
kg in just 35 minutes.
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-
treat cuffs, collars and stains.
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations  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 bal -
ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed 
in the load.
