Connecting the drain hose  
• the supply voltage is included within the values i  
ndicated on the Technical details table  
(see page 5);  
GB  
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  
machines plug. If this is not the case, replace  
the socket or the plug.  
65 - 100 cm  
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  
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.  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED  
OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.  
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.  
Where it connects to  
the waste water pipe  
cut end off spigot or  
remove the blanking cap  
Replacement fuse covers:  
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.  
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.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and  
you should wish to re-route the mains cable through parti-  
tions, units etc., please ensure that either:  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-wearable  
plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.  
! 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.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable out-  
let, 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 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.  
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  
Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:

Red.  
Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black.  
If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a  
13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distri-  
bution board.  
If you are in any doubt on the electrical supply to your ma-  
chine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

Cupboard dry : suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed.  
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.  
Delay timer  
To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period  
has been reached. When this option is enabled, the  
symbol lights up on the display. To remove the delayed start option  
press the button until the text “OFF” appears on the display.  
! This option is enabled with all programmes.  
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  
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.  
Detergent dispenser drawer  
GB  
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.  
Load balancing system  
Open the detergent di-  
spenser drawer and pour  
in the detergent or washing  
additive, as follows.  
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.

Precautions and tips  
• Before loading laundry into the Washer-dryer, make sure  
the drum is empty.  
! This Washer-dryer was designed and constructed in  
accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-  
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must  
therefore be read carefully.  
GB  
• 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).  
General safety  
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-  
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental  
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless  
they have been given supervision or instruction concer-  
ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for  
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that  
they do not play with the appliance.  
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or  
similar elastomers.  
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during  
the drying cycles.  
Disposal  
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.  
Items that have been soiled with substances such as  
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot re-  
movers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be  
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent  
before being dried in the tumble dryer.  
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,  
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or  
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried  
in the tumble dryer.  
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as  
specified by the fabric softener instructions. The final part  
of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down  
cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature  
that ensures that the items will not be damaged.  
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of  
the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and  
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.  
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local  
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that  
old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste  
stream. Old appliances must be collected  
separately in order to optimise the recovery and  
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce  
the impact on human health and the environment.  
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the  
product reminds you of your obligation, that when  
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately  
collected.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or  
damp hands or feet.  
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging  
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug  
and pull.  
• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the  
machine is in operation.  
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-  
ly high temperatures.  
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the  
safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental  
opening.  
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-  
stances 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.

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 wa-  
ter; this operation should  
be repeated frequently.  
2. unscrew the lid by rota-  
ting 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 any  
cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash  
cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose  
could easily split open.  
! Never use second-hand hoses.

The machine wont spin properly.  
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this  
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load  
required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase  
the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.  
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt,  
etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.  
The machine leaks from the  
dispenser.  
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.  
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap  
on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.  
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.  
The machine leaks (other than  
dispenser).  
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.  
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill  
hose is missing the rubber washer.  
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.  
The option lights and the START/  
PAUSE indicator light flash while  
one of the wash cycle progress  
and DOOR LOCKED lights are lit in  
a fixed manner.  
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then  
switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical Assistance  
Centre.  
The machine smells.  
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with deter-  
gent and no laundry.  
The machine door cannot be  
opened.  
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after  
the program has finished.  
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.  
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.  
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.  
The water level is too low when  
the machine is washing.  
There is too much foam.  
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text  
‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).  
Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.  
After completing the programme,  
or before starting a programme,  
the machine has turned itself off  
(no lights).  
To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an  
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate  
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.  
General.  
Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash  
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/pro-  
gress).  
Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to  
be anything wrong!  
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed  
above.  
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.  
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine  
washable.
