Removing the transit boltsRemoving the transit bolts
WARNING!
Before installing the washer dryer, you must remove the transit bolts from the back of
the housing and cover the holes with the transit hole caps provided.
The bolts hold the drum in place during transport but they must be removed
before use so the drum can move during the wash and spin cycles. Leaving the
bolts installed will result in strong shock and noise during use, malfunction and
serious damage to the machine.
• Dismantle the four transit bolts from the
back of the machine using an appropriate
tool (Fig. 2).
• Keep the bolts in a safe place; you will
need them again when moving the
appliance, if you move house, for example.
• Cover the holes with the supplied caps.
Selecting the location
Before installing the appliance, make sure the
location meets the following requirements:
• A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washer dryer,
being far less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a
carpeted surface.
• The machine must be level and securely
positioned. It must be protected from
direct sunlight, water and weather.
• The distance between the machine and
wall must be more than 10cm (Fig. 3).
• To avoid vibrations during spinning, the
machine should not be installed on soft
floor coverings. If the appliance must be
placed on a carpeted surface, place a
plastic mat underneath and ensure any
ventilation openings in the base are not
obstructed.

WARNING!
Stability is important to prevent the appliance from moving during operation.
Make sure that the machine does not stand on the power cord.
It is very important to level the washer dryer carefully, especially if your floor is
uneven. Failure to do so may result in the machine shaking and moving during the
spin cycle, or out-of-balance problems.
Place the machine on solid, dry and level ground. The machine must stand perfectly
level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may
cause vibrations and noise and may cause the machine to move about.
To determine whether levelling is necessary, place a spirit level on top of the washer
dryer and hold it upright against the housing to identify any inclinations. If the machine
needs levelling, proceed as follows (Fig. 4):
Fig. 4
• Loosen the lock nut with a spanner, turning it anticlockwise to loosen.
• Adjust the foot by hand until it makes close contact with the floor. Turn it
clockwise to lower the foot or anticlockwise to raise it.
• When the machine is level, use a spanner to turn the lock nut in a clockwise
direction to tighten.
WARNING!
The lock nuts on all four feet must be screwed tightly against the housing, otherwise
the machine may vibrate noisily during operation.
Do not kink or protract the drain hose.
Position the drain hose properly in order to prevent water spillage onto the floor
and potential damage.
Never immerse the end of the drain hose in water.
The drain hose is installed at the back of the machine. For drainage of the washing
water, you can install the other end of the hose two different ways: either directly into a
laundry sink or into a standpipe.

Fig. 5
Loop
• If the spigot outlet has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may
be in place.
• Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip, if required.
• Ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering
the washer dryer.
• If required, the drain hose may be extended to a length of 4m.
• Firstly, form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the
supplied drain hose elbow (Fig.6).
• Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately 30mm, thus
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe.
• When discharging into a standpipe, ensure that the drain
hose reaches at least 30cm into the standpipe, and the top
of the standpipe is no more than 90cm and no less than 60cm above floor level
(Fig. 7).

WARNING!
Never lay down the drain hose as water will be discharged.
Be sure the drain hose is properly routed so it will not kink or lift off the sink.
Leave the drain hose affixed to the back of the machine.
FROST PROTECTION
Do not install the washer dryer in places where temperatures drop to below 0°C.
The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing point, and the machine’s inlet valve and draining systems may get damaged
as frozen hoses may burst or split.
If temperatures drops to below 0°C, transfer it to an area with a warmer ambient
temperature before use and ensure no residual water is frozen in hoses and pipes.
To prevent leakage or water damage, make sure to follow the instructions in this
section when connecting the appliance to your water supply.
Do not kink, crush, modify or sever the water inlet hose.
• Connect the supplied cold water supply hose to an ordinary laundry tap with a 3/4”
thread (Fig. 8). Installation should comply with all requirements and regulations of
your local water and building authorities.

22
CAUTION!
For your safety, do not turn the program dial to the position [ O ] position, open the
machine and access the washing while the machine is running, or when the power
supply is cut off. The water temperature may be high and it may scald you. The door
will automatically unlock at the end of a wash program when the temperature of the
drum has cooled down.
Do not attempt to open the door forcibly. Doing so is unsafe and will cause damage
to the locking mechanism.
Do not use flammable and explosive or toxic solvents, petrol, alcohol or other
chemicals in the machine.
Keep detergents and clothing care preparations out of reach of children.
• Only use low-sudsing detergent and clothing care preparations that are
suitable for use in a front load washing machine, or in a top and front load
machine.Detergents for top load machines are unsuitable because they tend to
produce too much suds, which may cause overflowing from the detergent drawer.
• Use detergent in the amounts recommended on the detergent packaging. Dosage
depends on your amount of washing, the degree of soiling, water hardness and
the washing performance of your detergent. Using too little detergent will give poor
washing results, but too much will affect rinse performance and may cause overflow
of suds, which could interfere with machine operation. Do not overfill detergent!
• Pull open the detergent dispenser drawer and add detergent, as illustrated (Fig.12)
and described below.

extensive damage to the appliance and block the pump. Any damage or malfunction
resulting from foreign objects is not covered by your warranty and may lead to
expensive repairs.
• Remove any combustible objects (such as lighters and matches) or materials from
inside pockets.
• Turn items with zippers inside out, close zippers, hooks and eyelets, fasten buckles
and tie fabric belts. This will also help reduce impact noise when the items hit against
the turning drum.
• Ensure all items are marked as suitable for machine washing and/or tumble drying
(see page 32).
• Sort your washing/drying according to fabric type and washing/drying program.
Separate dark and light coloured items. Place small or delicate items into a wash bag
for protection. (Do not dry underwire bras in the washer dryer.)
• Brush dirt, sand or pet hair off clothes and turn pockets inside out. Pretreat stains.
• Turn items that pill easily inside out.
• Knitted textiles may shrink a little when tumble dried. Please do not over-dry such
items. Allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.
• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying. Easy care items such as
shirts should be briefly pre-spun before drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when
you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
• As the dryer heat may permanently set stains, check and ensure your washing is
clean and free of stains.
• Do not overload the machine; the maximum dry washing capacity is 10kg, and the
maximum drying capacity is 6kg (see the table on page 23 for specific information
on the capacities of different programs). If you have selected a program that uses
both washing and drying functions, load the machine based on its maximum drying
capacity.
• To avoid items getting tangled up in the dryer, which results in uneven drying, shake
items out thoroughly before placing them into the dryer one at a time.
• Put your washing/drying in the machine, loading items uniformly in the drum. For best
results, include both larger and smaller items in a wash.
• When your washing is properly loaded in the machine, close the door and ensure that
no items are caught in the door.
When selecting a program:
• Pull out the detergent dispenser and add detergent as required, then close the
dispenser (see page 25 for instructions).
• Select a wash and/or dry program (see pages 19-20 for more details).
• Make any desired modifications to this program. Remember, Dry, Quick Dry and
Refresh are dry only programs. To add a drying cycle to a wash program, press the
relevant button. Now is also the time to add a delayed start, extra rinse cycle, or
engage the mute function and/or child lock.
• Select the Start/Pause button to start the program.
When unloading the machine:
• Wait for the cycle to finish; a buzzer will sound when the drum has cooled sufficiently
and any remaining water has drained. The machine will change into standby mode
after 10minutes of inactivity.
• Turn the dial back to the [ O ] position. Unplug the machine from the power supply
and close the water tap.
• Open the door and unload the washer dryer. We recommend you leave the
door slightly ajar so the drum can dry properly and to prevent mould and odour
development.
CAUTION: Do NOT wash the following items in the washing machine:
• jackets, raincoats, sleeping bags, fishing coats and similar clothes
• carpets or floor rugs
• underwire bras—instead, ensure these are placed in a closed garment bag before
washing in the machine
• clothes that have any residues of flammable materials, as this may result in fire or
explosion (for example, articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
dabbed with industrial chemicals, or combustible or explosive substances e.g. wax, oil,
paint, petrol, alcohol, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.); items containing
such substances must be washed by hand or rinsed thoroughly before machine-washing
them
• single items, as this can cause unbalance problems during the wash or spin cycles; we
suggest you always add a few more items to the wash to avoid such problems
• items such as ties, suits, evening attire; silk or fur attire; or anything else labelled
unsuitable for machine-washing—always check the garment label (see page 32).
CAUTION: Do NOT dry the following items using the dryer function:
• woollen clothes, silks, and clothes that contain leather, foam rubber (also known as latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials
• undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras), which can
come loose during drying and damage the clothes dryer
• plastic articles such as shower caps or waterproof baby bibs
• rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber
coated tennis shoes
• fabric softeners or similar products, unless they are specifically recommended by the
product manufacturer for use in a clothes dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity
• clothes that have any residues of flammable materials, as this may result in fire or
explosion (for example, articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
dabbed with industrial chemicals, or combustible or explosive substances e.g. vegetable
oil, cooking oil, acetone, wax, oil, paint, petrol, alcohol, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents,
spot-removers, wax-removers, some hair-care products, kerosene, etc.) (see note)
• single items, as this can cause unbalance problems during the dry or spin cycles; we
suggest you always add a few more items to the wash to avoid such problems
• items such as ties, suits, evening attire, fur attire, or anything else labelled unsuitable for
tumble-drying—always check the garment label (see page 32).
NOTE:
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be dried in the machine, they should first be washed
in hot water with extra detergent. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, spot removers, turpentine or wax removers should first be washed in hot water
with extra detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
When the following problems occur, the microcomputer inside the washer dryer will
detect the abnormal condition, display an error message and the machine will stop
operating. If after your remedial action the problem persists, please contact our after

they mean.
To prolong the service life of the machine, keep it in good condition and perform
regular maintenance.
WARNING!
For any type of cleaning and maintenance, make sure the washer dryer is
disconnected from the mains power supply and the water tap is closed.
Cleaning the cabinet (when required)
• Use a soft cloth to wipe any water or dirt off the washer housing.
• To remove dirt and stains, use a mild detergent solution and a damp cloth. Squeeze
it almost dry to avoid leaving water residues.
WARNING!
Do not use any solvents, alcohol, harsh chemicals, alkaline or abrasive cleaning
agents, or sharp objects, to avoid damaging the surface. Do not hose down the
appliance or spray water directly onto the housing.
Cleaning the drum (every three months)
• Make sure all laundry items are removed from the drum, then wipe it clean with a
soft dry or damp cloth.
• If you notice any rust residues left inside the drum from laundry items with metal
parts (such as buttons or zippers), wipe the residues off immediately with chlorinefree detergent. Never use steel wool.
• To remove dirt and/or detergent residues and scum build-up from the inside and
outside of the drum, run the Drum Clean program every three months without any
clothes or detergent.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the inside of your washer dryer regularly is particularly important if
you frequently use a cold wash cycle, especially if you also use a fabric softener.
Liquid detergents can cause detergent scum to build up around the outside of the
drum, which cold water will not remove and which can cause bacteria, unpleasant
odours, and eventually soiling of your wash load.
To avoid blockage of the mesh lters at the water tap or hose after long time use, we
recommend you clean these lters every 6 months, or more often if there are frequent
interruptions to the water supply.
CAUTION!
Before cleaning the water inlet lter, make sure you have turned off the water supply
at the tap.
• Use pointed nose pliers to withdraw the plastic
lter from the water inlet valve at the back of
the machine (Fig. 18).
• Clean the lter with a soft brush, then assemble
the cleaned lter back into the valve.
• Reconnect the water supply hose to the water
tap on your wall and to the water inlet valve at
the back of the washer dryer. For more detailed
connection instructions, please refer to page 17.
Fig. 18
Freezing conditions
If the washer dryer is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, you should take certain
precautions to prevent water freezing in the pipes.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and
that of the inlet hose in a bowl. Run the spin program.
4. Disconnect the appliance.
5. Reconnect the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.
6. When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room
temperature is above 0°C.
If the temperature drop was unexpected and water has frozen in the water supply
hose, proceed as follows:
1. Wrap a hot towel around the water tap and the water supply hose joint.
2. Disconnect the water supply hose and soak it in a tub of hot water of approximately
50°C.
3. Pour about 2–3 litres of hot water (approximately 50°C) into the drum of the
machine.
4. When all frozen water has thawed, reconnect the water supply hose, open the tap
and start the machine to check whether all blockages have been removed.
For any type of cleaning and maintenance, make sure the washer dryer is
disconnected from the mains power supply and the water tap is closed.
Do not open the pump filter cover during the course of a wash program.
If you are checking the drain pump after a hot water wash, take particular care as
any residual water in the machine may be hot. Wait until the water has cooled
down to avoid burns.
Drain pump maintenance (every two months)
NOTE: While your washer dryer combo does not have a lint lter to maintain, excess
lint can collect in the drain pump. It is therefore important to clean the drain pump
every two months to ensure optimal product performance and the longevity of your
machine.
In order to avoid blockages created by excess lint, threads or items such as bobby
pins, coins, etc., check the drain pump lter regularly, especially if the machine fails to
drain the water or spin properly, or if you notice any unusual noises during the drain or
spin cycles. We recommend you clean the lter every two months, or when there is a
fault and the error code [ E03 ] is displayed on the screen.
CAUTION: If you are checking the drain pump after a hot water wash, wait until any
residual water has cooled to a safe level.
1. Open the service cover using a screwdriver (Fig. 19).
2. Place a container underneath the drain pump lter when removing it, and always
keep a rag nearby to dry up any water spillage.
3. Remove the lter plug. Any residual water will drain out (Fig. 20).
4. Remove any foreign objects. Clean the lter plug carefully with water and a soft
brush (Fig. 21).
5. Screw the lter plug back into position.
6. Close the service cover and secure it with the screw.
