YOUR NEW WASHER-DRYER
This new machine which is fitted with a new wash system meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption. Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is proportional to the quantity and type of laundry being washed.
The temperature selector dial will allow you to choose the most suitable temperature for your laundry.
The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollen with extreme gentleness.
The automatic cooling of the washing water from 95° to 60°C before draining will
prevent old drain pipes from being deformed.
The two drying programmes will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

It is important that this instruction book be kept with the appliance for future reference. If you sell or give the appliance away, make sure that the book is passed to the new owners so that they can familiarise themselves with its operation and relevant warnings. The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.
General warnings
When unpacking the appliance, check that it is not damaged. If in doubt, do not use it and contact the Service Centre.
This appliance is designed to be used by adults. Children must not be allowed to touch the controls or play with the product.
During high temperature washing and drying cycles the glass door becomes very hot. Do not touch it.
Pets sometimes climb into washing machines. Check the drum before each use.

All internal packing must be removed before using the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective transit devices are not removed or are not completely removed. Refer to the relevant paragraph in the instruction book.
Any electrical work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Any plumbing work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified plumber.
After having installed the machine, check that it is not standing on its electrical supply cable.
If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor, ensure that air can circulate freely between the adjustable feet and the floor.
Use
This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must not be used for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
Only wash and dry fabrics which are designed to be machine washed and dried. Follow the instructions on each garment label.

Do not overload the appliance. Follow the instructions in the instruction book.
Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause extensive damage.
Do not machine wash garments saturated with petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc. If such fluids have been used to remove stains prior to washing, wait until they have completely evaporated from the fabric before placing garments in the appliance.
Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting trapped between the drum and the tub.
Use only the recommended quantities of fabric softener. An e xcessiv e amount could damage the laundry.

INSTALLATION
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.
1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor.
2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the machine and release the two plastic bags by removing the adhesive strip. Unscrew and remove the feet.
3. Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards the centre of the machine.

Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread after having inserted the small filter “A” supplied with the machine.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.
