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 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.  
The drain hose may be

under-sink trap. Before  
connecting the drain  
hose from the machine  
ensure that any blanks  
or removable ends  
have been taken off  
the spigot.  
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 it is place over the  
edge of a basin or sink  
be sure the free end of  
the hose should not be  
underwater.  
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 moulded plug  
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable  
through partitions, units etc., please ensure that  
either:  
! 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.  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-  
wearable 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.  
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.  
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 socket.  
Electric connection  
Before plugging the appliance into the mains  
socket, make sure that:

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.  
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 DRYING knob.  
Functions  
The various wash functions available with this washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time.  
To activate the functions:  
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;  
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.  
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in  
conjunction with the selected wash cycle.  
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.

Detergents and laundry  
Detergent dispenser drawer  
Silk: use special wash cycle 6 to wash all silk  
GB  
garments. We recommend the use of special  
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate  
clothes.  
Good washing results also depend on the correct  
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not  
necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in  
fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance  
and contribute to environmental pollution.  
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.  
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these  
create too much foam.  
Load balancing system  
Open the detergent  
dispenser drawer and  
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 balance,  
we recommend small and large garments are mixed  
in the load.

Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 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  
Garments requiring special care

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any  
circumstances access the internal mechanisms in  
an attempt to repair it yourself.  
• Always keep children well away from the appliance  
while it is operating.  
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.  
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group  
of two or three people and handle it with the utmost  
care. Never try to do this alone, because the  
appliance is very heavy.  
• Before loading laundry into the Washer-dryer, make  
sure the drum is empty.  
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get  
quite hot.  
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have  
been washed with flammable solvents (e.g.  
trichlorethylene).  
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or  
similar elastomers.  
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during

Care and maintenance  
Cutting off the water and electricity  
supplies  
Cleaning the pump  
GB  
The washer-dryer 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.  
• 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.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug  
the appliance.  
Cleaning the washer-dryer  
To access the pre-chamber:  
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.  
1. using a screwdriver,  
remove the cover panel  
on the lower front part of  
the washer-dryer (see  
figure);  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer  
Remove the dispenser  
by raising it and pulling it  
out (see figure).  
Wash it under running  
water; this operation  
should be repeated  
frequently.  
2. unscrew the lid by  
rotating it anti-clockwise  
(see figure): a little water  
may trickle out. This is  
perfectly normal;  
Caring for the door and drum of your  
appliance  
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to  
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.  
3. clean the inside thoroughly;  
4. screw the lid back on;  
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks 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
