    Quick guide
    1. Installation and removal (p. 11)
    Installation, after delivery or transport, is the most important operation
    for the correct functioning of your washer-dryer. Always check:
    1.That the electric system conforms to regulations;
    2.That the inlet and draining pipes are connected correctly.
    Never use pipes that have already been used.
    3.That the washer-dryer is levelled properly; something
    wor th checking to aid the performance of your
    washer-dryer;
    4.That the drums fixing screws have been removed from
    the  back of the washer-dryer;
    2.What goes in your washer-dryer and how
    to start it (p. 2)
    A correct distribution of your laundry is vital to the successful
    outcome of the wash and the life of the washer-dryer. Learn all the
    tips and secrets to dividing your linen: colour, type of fabric.
    3. Guide to understanding labels (p. 6)
    The symbols on the labels of your garments are easy to understand
    and equally important for the success of your wash. The guide
    includes simple instructions to help you choose the right tempera-
    ture, wash cycles and ironing methods.
    4. Useful tips to avoid mistakes (p. 7)
    Years back, our grandmothers were the ones who gave us good
    advice - and in those days synthetic fibres did not exist: washing
    was easy. Today, your washer-dryer offers you helpful advice
    allowing you to wash wool even better than an exper t laundress
    would by hand.
    5. The detergent dispenser (p. 8)
    How to use the detergent dispenser and the bleach compartment.
    6. Understanding the control panel (p. 3)
    Washer-dryer’s control panel is very simple. It has only a few
    essential buttons to help you choose any type of wash cycle,
    ranging from the most energetic, capable of cleaning a mechanic’s
    overalls, to the most delicate for wool. Familiarising yourself with it
    will help you get the best out of your wash while helping your
    washer-dryer last longer. It’s easy.
    7.  Guide to the wash programmes (p. 4)

    							What goes in your washer-dryer?
    Before  washing, you can do a great deal to ensure better results. Divide your garments
    according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their guidelines.
    Before washing.
    Divide your washing according
    to the type of fabric and colour
    fastness.
    Empty all pockets (coins, paper,
    money and small obejects) and
    ensure all loose buttons are
    repaired or removed prior to
    loading.
    How to eliminate the most common stains
    Ink and biro Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.
    Ta r Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.
    Wa x Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with turpentine or
    methyl alcohol.
    Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
    Mold Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then
    washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.
    Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk.
    Nail polish Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the
    garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.
    Grass Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.
    Starting the washer-dryer
    Starting your washer-dryer in
    the right way is important for the
    quality of your wash, to help
    prevent future problems and
    enhance life expectancy of your
    appliance. Once you have
    loaded your washer-dryer and
    added the detergent together
    with any fabric conditioner,
    always check that:1. The door is closed correctly.
    2. The plug is secured in the
    socket.
    3. The water supply is turned
    on.
    4. Selector knob A is positioned
    on one of the symbols 
     (Stop/
    Reset).
    Choose the desired programme
    The programme is selected
    according to the type of garments
    that need to be washed. To choose
    a programme, refer to the table on
    page 4. Turn knob A until the
    selected programme is aligned
    with the mark on the knob, turn
    knob B to the desired temperatu-
    re settings,check that knob C is
    in the desired position, if
    necessary use buttons E, F, G
    and lastly, press on/off button H
    (I position).
    After installing your new washer-dryer, start a wash cycle
    by setting programme 1 at 90 degrees.
    For more delicate
    garments:
    protect underwear, tights
    and stockings and delicate
    items by placing them in a
    canvas pouch
    Dividing your garments
    according to fabric and
    colour, is very important
    for good results
    At the end of the wash cycle...
    Lamp I will flash quickly for a few
    seconds, then it will begin
    flashing more slowly.
    Then turn the washer-dryer off
    by pressing on-off button H
    (O position). You can now open
    the washer-dryer door safely.
    After having removed the
    freshly cleaned washing, leave
    the door open to allow air
    circulation inside the drum.Always disconnect electricity at
    the socket and turn off the water
    supply.
    Remember that, in the event
    of a power failure, or should
    the washer-dryer switch itself
    off, the programme chosen
    will remain in its memory.
    The labels say it all.
    Always look at the labels: they
    tell you everything about your
    garment and how to wash it in
    the best possible way.
    The table on page 6 shows all
    meanings behind these
    symbols. Their  recom-
    mendations are important to
    achieve better wash results.
    Instructions for installation and use  2
    M
    Big and small happily
    together.
    This washer-dryer has a special
    electronic control device for even
    distribution: before the spin cycle
    starts, this device allows the
    garments to positions
    themselves, to minimise noise
    and vibrations during the spin
    cycle. 
    						
    							E
    ABCD
    FGHIL
    The washer-dryer is  equipped
    with an extra compartment 4
    (provided as an accessory) for
    the bleach, to be inserted in
    compartment 1.
    Easy iron
    This function allows your
    washing to come out of the
    machine without creases,
    making it much easier to iron.
    You can use it with programmes
    3-4 (Cotton), 5-6-7 (Synthetics)
    and 9-10 (Delicates).
    Press this button in
    programmes 5-6-7-9-10 and the
    wash cycle will come to a stop
    on symbol  
    . You can comple-
    te it by pressing button E again.
    Notes:
    - this function should not be
    used when button G (stain
    removal) has been pressed.
    - If you also want to run the
    drying cycle, this button is
    enabled only if combined with
    level 
     (Iron).
    Slow spin
    Use this button to reduce the
    spinning speed from 1200 to
    600 rpm for the cotton and linen
    programmes and from  850 to
    600 rpm  for the synthetic
    fabrics programmes.
    Stain removal (see page 8)
    Thanks to this command, the
    washer-dryer will carry out a
    more intensive wash that
    optimises the  effectiveness of the
    liquid additives, thus allowing
    more resistant stains to be
    removed. When you press the
    stain removal button, you cannot
    activate the pre-wash.
    Here I’m in command
    Understanding the control panel
    Making the right choice is important. And it’s easy.
    Programme selector knob
    Use this knob to select the wash
    programme.
    Turn this knob clockwise only.
    To select a programme, you
    should turn the knob so that the
    symbol/number  of the desired
    programme is in line with the
    pointer on the knob.
    Now press on/off button H
    (position I), pilot lamp I will start
    flashing.
    After 5, the setting will be
    accepted, pilot lamp I will stop
    flashing (staying lit) and the wash
    cycle will begin.
    Should you wish to interrupt the
    programme in progress or set a
    new one, select one of the
    symbols 
     (Stop/Reset) and wait
    5 : when the cancellation has
    been accepted, pilot lamp I
    flashes, and you can then turn the
    appliance off.
    After the wash cycle has been set
    and accepted by the washer-
    dryer, turning the knob will have
    no effect (except for when it is on
    position 
     Stop/Reset).
    Temperature control knob
    It is used to set the wash tempe-
    rature in the recommended
    programme table on pag. 4. It also
    allows you to reduce the tempe-
    rature recommended for the
    selected programme, and even
    to set a cold wash cycle (
    ).
    Drying cycle knob
    Use this knob to select the
    desired drying cycle. Two
    options are available:
    A - Based on time:
    From 40 minutes to 150.
    B - Based on the damp level of
    the dry clothes:
    Iron :slightly damp clothes,
    easy to iron.
    Wardrobe : dry clothes to
    put away.
    Extra dry : very dry clothes,
    recommended for towelling and
    bathrobes.
    A cooling stage is foreseen at
    the end of the drying cycle.
    Detergent dispenser
    It is divided into 3 compartments:
    1. Detergent for pre-wash;
    2. Detergent for the main cycle
    wash;
    3. Fabric conditioner.
    3  Instructions for installation and use
    On-off
    When button H is pressed, the
    washer-dryer is switched on,
    when it is not the machine is
    switched off.
    Turning the appliance off
    does not cancel the selected
    programme.
    On-off lamp / door locked
    Lamp I flashes slowly when the
    appliance is switched on and
    awaiting instructions and at the
    end of a cycle, indicating that the
    door can be opened. It flashes
    quickly when the door should
    not be opened. A steady light
    means the appliance has
    accepted the selected
    programme.
    Drying cycle lamp
    When this lamp is on, it means
    that knob C has been set on a
    drying cycle and at the end of the
    wash cycle, the appliance will run
    the selected tumble drying cycle.
    The detergent dispenser with the
    additional  bleach compartment
    is here.

    Understanding labels
    Learn the meaning of these symbols and you will get better
    results, your garments will last longer resulting in an
    improved wash.
    All over Europe, garment labels
    contain messages expressed in
    small yet important symbols.
    Understanding them is very
    important if you want to get
    better results and treat your
    garments the way they deserve
    to be treated.These symbols are divided in
    five different categories and
    shapes: washing 
    , bleaching
    , ironing , dry cleaning 
    and drying .
    Consult and learn the symbols in this table: they will help you
    obtain a better wash, treat your clothes properly, and get a
    better performance out of your washer-dryer.
    Useful tips
    Turn shirts inside out to get better results
    and make them last longer.
    Always empty pockets of their contents.
    Look at the label: it will always give you useful
    advice.
    When loading your washing, try to have a mixture
    of large to small items.
    Make sure you select  the right
    temperature!

    							Useful tips
     Never use your washer-
    dryer to wash... torn, fraying or
    non-hemmed linen. If it is
    absolutely neccessary, place it in
    a bag for protection. Do not wash
    coloured linen with whites.
     Watch the weight!
    For best results, do not exceed
    the weight limits stated below
    (figures show weight of dry
    garments):
    - Resistant fabrics:
    5,5 kg maximum
    - Synthetic fabrics:
    2.5 kg maximum
    - Delicate fabrics:
    2 kg maximum
    - Pure new wool:
    1 kg maximum
    How to wash almost anything
     Curtains.
    Curtains tend to crease a great
    deal. A useful tip to reduce
    creasing: fold the curtains and
    place them in a pillow case or
    mesh bag. Do not load anything
    else inside the appliance, this
    will ensure that the overall
    weight does not exceed the half
    load. Remember to use the
    specific programme 10 which
    automatically excludes the spin
    cycle. Trainers.
    Once you have removed mud
    and dirt from trainers, you can
    even wash them with jeans or
    any other tough garments. Do
    not wash trainers with whites. Quilted coats and anorak.
    You can wash quilted coats and
    wind-cheaters, too, if they are
    padded with goose or duck
    down. Do not load more than
    2-3 kg and never load 5,5 kg.
    Repeat rinse once or twice
    using the gentle spin.
     How much does it weigh?
    1 sheet 400-500 gr.
    1 pillow case 150-200 gr.
    1 tablecloth 400-500 gr.
    1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr.
    1 towel 150-250 gr.
     Coloured T-shirts, printed
    ones and shirts last longer if  turned
    inside out before washing.
    Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts
    should always be ironed inside out.
     Dungaree  alert.
    Very popular “salopette” type
    overalls have straps with hooks
    that can damage the drum of your
    washer-dryer or other garments
    during the wash. To minimise the
    risk, place hooks in the pocket
    and fasten with safety pins.
     Holidays: unplug the
    appliance.
    It is recommended that you
    should unplug the machine from
    the socket and turn off the water
    supply. Leave the door ajar to
    allow air circulation to the draw
    and the door gasket area. This will
    prevent unpleasant odours.
    7  Instructions for installation and use
    For best results, we
    recommend you use a
    specific detergent, taking
    care not to wash more than
    1 kg of laundry.
    WOOL CYCLE 
    						
    							You must follow the dosage
    recommendations provided by
    the manufacturers when adding
    detergent or fabric conditioner.
    Doses will vary according to the
    wash load, the water hardness
    and how soiled the washing is.
    Experience will help you select
    the right dosage almost
    automatically: it will become your
    secret.
    Before adding detergent for pre-
    washing in compartment 1,
    make sure that the extra
    compartment for bleach 4 has
    not been inserted.
    Ensure no overfilling when
    adding fabric conditioner in
    compartment 3.
    The washer-dryer automatically
    adds the softener to the wash in
    each programme.
    Liquid detergent is poured into
    compartment 2 just a few
    seconds before starting the
    wash cycle.
    In compartment 1:
    Detergent for pre-washing (powder)
    In compartment 2:
    Detergent for washing
    (powder or liquid)
    In compartment 3:
    Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)
    In compartment 4:
    Bleach and delicate bleach.
    Useful tips about the detergent dispenser
    It’s important for a good wash
    The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is
    opened by pull it outwards.
    Remember that liquid detergent
    is only designed for wash
    cycles of up to 60 degrees on
    non pre-wash items.
    Special containers are sold with
    liquid or powder detergents for
    placing inside the washer-dryer
    drum, these are positioned
    according to the instructions
    found in the detergent box
    Never use hand wash
    detergent, because it may form
    too much foam, which could
    damage the washer-dryer.
    Detergents that are specifically
    formulated for both hand and
    machine wash are an
    exception.
    One last secret: when washing
    with cold water, always reduce
    the amount of detergent you use:
    it dissolves less easily in cold
    water than in hot water, so part
    of it would be wasted.
    Cutting costs efficientlyA guide to environmentally
    friendly and economic use
    of your appliance.
    MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE
    Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended
    maximum load size.
    SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
    DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?
    For heavily soiled laundry only!
    SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT
    selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.
    IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?
    Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to
    reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.
    SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.
    BEFORE USING A  DRYING PROGRAMME ...
    SAVE energy and time by selecting the highest suitable spin speed to reduce the water
    content in laundry before using a drying programme.
    The detergent dispenser  can be
    removed and cleaned: pull it outwards,
    as indicated in the figure. Then leave it
    under running water for a few  minutes.
    Instructions for installation and use  8
    Bleach cycle and stain removal
    button
    If bleaching is necessary, the
    extra case 4 (provided) must be
    inserted into compartment 1 of
    the detergent dispenser.
    When pouring in the bleach, be
    careful not to exceed the max
    level indicated on the central
    pivot (see illustration).
    The use of the additional bleach
    container excludes the
    possibility of using the pre-wash
    cycle. Traditional bleach can
    only be used on sturdy white
    fabrics, whereas delicate
    bleach can be used for
    coloured fabrics, synthetics
    and for wool.You cannot bleach with the
    “Silk” programme and with the
    “special programmes” (see
    page 4).
    Use the stain removal button
    every time you want to bleach.
    Should you want to do it
    separately you must pour the
    bleach into the additional
    container 4, press button G
    (stain removal), start the
    washer-dryer, then select one of
    the symbols 
     according to
    the type of fabric.
    When you bleach during a
    normal wash cycle, pour the
    detergent and any additives in
    the special compartments,
    press button G (stain removal),
    set the programme you desire
    and turn the washer-dryer on.

    too low? It must be installed
    at a height ranging from 60 to
    100 cm.
     Is the end of the hose
    immersed in water?
     Does the wall drainage
    system have a breather
    pipe? If the problem persists
    even after these checks, turn
    the water supply off the
    machine and call for
    assistance.
    If you live on an upper floor of
    your building, there may be a

    water, it cannot start a wash
    cycle.
