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
machine’s 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.

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 (11-12-13) in accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level
or time may also be set using the DRYING button.
Functions
The various wash functions available with this waher-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.
The
option optimises washing to suit the quantity of laundry loaded into the machine, thereby reducing the overall
wash cycle duration while minimising water and energy consumption. Press the
cycle desired:
button to select the type of wash
Intense: vigorous wash cycle for garments with a heavy soil level.
Perform: standard wash cycle for garments with a normal soil level.
Fast: quick wash cycle for garments with a light soil level.
! This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 3, 4 (all three levels) and 5, 6 (Perform and Fast levels).
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 waher-dryer will perform slow rotations of the drum, while the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will
flash (blue and orange respectively) and the
led will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE
button or the EASY IRON button. For wash cycle number 8, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking; 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.
! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 7, 10, 11, 12, 13,
,
.
Note: If you also want to run the drying cycle, this option is enabled only if combined with level
.
Cool Wash
The Cool Wash function saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the
environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the
same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,

Detergents and laundry
Wool: wash cycle 7 can be used to wash all woollen gar-
ments in the machine, even those carrying the “hand wash
only” label. To achieve the best results, use a special
detergent and do not exceed the maximum load of 2 kg.
Delicates: use special wash cycle 8 to wash all silk gar-
ments. We recommend the use of special detergent which
has been designed to wash delicate clothes.
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.
Curtains: we recommend you fold the curtains and place
them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 8.
Duvet: to wash double or single duvets (the weight
of which should not exceed 3 kg), cushions or clothes
padded with goose down such as puffa jackets, use the
special wash cycle number 9 “Duvet”. We recommend
that duvets are placed in the drum with their edges folded
inwards (see figure) and that no more than ¾ of the total
volume of the drum is used.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent dispenser
drawer and pour in the deter-
gent or washing additive, as
follows.
B
A
To achieve the best results, we recommend that a liquid
detergent is used and placed inside the detergent dispen-
ser drawer.
! Detergent should only be poured into the compartment A.
compartment A: 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 B: 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. 8 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 2 kg
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 10): is for washing sports
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs
simultaneously.
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 waher-dryer
performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To en-
courage improved load distribution and balance, we recom-
mend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
Silk: max. 2 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
Jeans: turn the garments inside out before washing and
use liquid detergent. Use wash cycle 5.
Shirts: use special wash cycle 6 to wash shirts in various
fabrics and colours.
It guarantees maximum care is taken of the garments and
minimises the formation of creases.

Precautions and tips
! 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.
Disposal
GB
• Disposing of the packaging materials:
observe local regulations so that the packaging may be
re-used.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using
the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted applian-
ces should be collected separately in order to optimise
the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the
machine, while preventing potential damage to the at-
mosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin
is marked on all products to remind the owner of their
obligations regarding separated waste collection.
For more information relating to the correct disposal of
household appliances, owners should contact their local
authorities or appliance dealer.
General safety
• 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 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.
Opening the porthole door manually
In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole door
due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the laundry,
proceed as follows:
1. Remove the plug from the
electrical socket..
2. Make sure the water level
inside the machine is lower
than the door opening; if it
is not, remove excess water
using the drain hose, collec-
ting it in a bucket as indicated
in the figure.
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• 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 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.

PAUSE indicator light flash while

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.
• If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlocking
procedure.
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.
