This instruction manual should be kept in a safe
place for future reference. If the washer-dryer is sold,
transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction
manual remains with the machine so that the new
owner is able to familiarise himself/herself with its
operation and features.
Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information relating to the safe installation and
operation of the appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washer-dryer from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washer-dryer has not been
damaged during the transportation process. If it has
been damaged, contact the retailer and do not
proceed any further with the installation process.
3. Remove the 4
protective screws (used
during transportation) and
the rubber washer with
the corresponding
spacer, located on the
rear part of the appliance
(see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need
them again if the washer-dryer needs to be moved to
another location.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with
stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise
and prevent it from shifting while it is operating. If it is
placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a
way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space
underneath the washer-dryer.

Special wash cycles
Sanitizing cycle (wash cycle 6). A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) which requires the use of
bleach. Pour the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled
Detergent dispenser drawer).
Goodnigt cycle (wash cycle 7). This is a silent cycle which can be run at night, when the electricity prices are
lower. The wash cycle is designed for cottons and synthetics. At the end of the cycle the machine stops while
there is still water in the drum; to spin and drain the laundry press the START/PAUSE button; alternatively the
machine will perform the spin cycle and drain the water automatically after 8 hours.
Babycycle (wash cycle 8). This wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while
ensuring that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering
allergies. The cycle has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and
optimising the effect of special disinfecting additives added to the detergent.
At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases; to end
the cycle press the START/PAUSE button.
Mix 30 wash cycle 4) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30
minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (4 at 30°C), it is possible to wash
different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
Mix 15 (wash cycle 5) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15
minutes and therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (5 at 30°C), it is possible to wash
different fabrics together (except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

and bathrobes.
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.
N.B.: when the drying is complete there is a cooling period, even though the DRYING button is in the 0 position.
Drying only
Turn the WASH CYCLE knob to one of the drying settings (11-12-13) according to the type of fabric, then select
the desired drying duration using the DRYING button.

Detergents and laundry
GB
Detergent dispenser drawer
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.
Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.

This option is recommended only for very soiled
cotton garments.
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. 7 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg
Wool: max. 1,5 kg

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
Silk: use special wash cycle 9 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 9.Wool: Hotpoint/Ariston is the only washer-dryer
manufacturer to have been awarded the prestigious
Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement (M.0508) by
the Woolmark Company, which means that all
woollen garments may be washed in the washerdryer, even those which state hand wash only
on the label. Wash cycle 10 therefore offers complete
peace of mind when washing woollen garments in the
washer-dryer (max. load 1,5 kg) and guarantees
optimal performance.
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 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.
Anti-crease
This function interrupts the wash programme, and the
washing is left to soak in water before the appliance
is drained.
It can only be used with programme 9 (Silk/Curtains)
and helps to prevent the formation of creases.
To complete the cycle press the START/PAUSE
button.

Precautions and tips
This washer-dryer was designed and constructed in
accordance with international safety regulations. The
following information is provided for safety reasons
and must therefore be read carefully.
General safety
This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
The washer-dryer must only be used by adults, in
accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.
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
extremely 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
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
the drying cycles.
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.
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
20
lower than the door
opening; if it is not, remove
excess water using the
drain hose, collecting it in a
bucket as indicated in the
figure.
3. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel on
the lower front part of the
washer-dryer (see figure).
GB
Disposal
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.
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the
figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop
position; pull downwards and open the door at the
same time.
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are
securely in place before you push it onto the
appliance.
9
Care and maintenance
GB
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
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.
Cleaning the washer-dryer
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.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
1
Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling it
out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
2
Cleaning the pump
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.
Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug
the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front part of
the washer-dryer (seefigure);
2. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-clockwise
(seefigure): 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.

Installation
FR
Conserver ce mode demploi pour pouvoir le
consulter à tout moment. En cas de vente, de
cession ou de déménagement, veiller à ce quil suive
toujours le lavante-séchante pour que son nouveau
propriétaire soit informé sur son mode de
fonctionnement et puisse profiter des conseils
correspondants.
Lire attentivement les instructions: elles fournissent
des conseils importants sur linstallation, lutilisation et
la sécurité de lappareil.
Déballage et mise à niveau
Déballage
1. Déballer le lavante-séchante.
2. Contrôler que le lavante-séchante na pas été
endommagé pendant le transport. Sil est abîmé, ne
pas le raccorder et contacter le vendeur.
3. Enlever les 4 vis de
protection servant au
transport, le caoutchouc
et la cale, placés dans la
partie arrière (voir figure).
Une bonne mise à niveau garantit la stabilité de
lappareil et évite quil y ait des vibrations, du bruit et
des déplacements en cours de fonctionnement. Si la
machine est posée sur de la moquette ou un tapis,
régler les pieds de manière à ce quil y ait
suffisamment despace pour assurer une bonne
ventilation.
Raccordements eau et électricité
Raccordement du tuyau darrivée de leau
1. Monter le joint A sur
lextrémité du tuyau
dalimentation et le visser
à un robinet deau froide
A
à embout fileté 3/4 gaz
(voir figure).
Faire couler leau jusquà
ce quelle soit limpide et
sans impuretés avant de
raccorder.
2. Raccorder le tuyau
darrivée de leau au
lavante-séchante en le
vissant à la prise deau
prévue, dans la partie
arrière en haut à droite
(voir figure).
4. Boucher les trous à laide des bouchons plastique
fournis.
5. Conserver toutes ces pièces: il faudra les remonter
en cas de transport du lavante-séchante.
Les pièces demballage ne sont pas des jouets pour
enfants.
Mise à niveau
1. Installer le lavante-séchante sur un sol plat et
rigide, sans lappuyer contre des murs, des meubles
ou autre.
2. Si le sol nest pas
parfaitement horizontal,
visser ou dévisser les
pieds de réglage avant
(voir figure) pour niveler
lappareil; son angle
dinclinaison, mesuré sur
le plan de travail, ne doit
pas dépasser 2°.
3. Attention à ce que le tuyau ne soit pas plié ou
écrasé.
La pression de leau doit être comprise entre les
valeurs indiquées dans le tableau des Caractéristiques
techniques (voir page ci-contre).
Si la longueur du tuyau dalimentation ne suffit pas,
sadresser à un magasin spécialisé ou à un technicien
agréé.
Nutiliser que des tuyaux neufs.
Utiliser ceux qui sont fournis avec lappareil.

Raccordement du tuyau de vidange
Raccorder le tuyau
dévacuation, sans le
plier, à un conduit
dévacuation ou à une
évacuation murale placés
65 - 100 cm
à une distance du sol
comprise entre 65 et 100
cm;
Nutiliser ni rallonges ni prises multiples.
FR
Le câble ne doit être ni plié ni trop écrasé.
Le câble dalimentation ne doit être remplacé que
par des techniciens agréés.
Attention! Nous déclinons toute responsabilité en cas
de non-respect des normes énumérées ci-dessus.
Premier cycle de lavage
ou bien laccrocher à un
évier ou à une baignoire,
dans ce cas, fixer le
support en plastique
fourni avec lappareil au
robinet (voir figure).
Lextrémité libre du tuyau
dévacuation ne doit pas
être plongée dans leau.
Lutilisation dun tuyau de rallonge est absolument
déconseillée mais si on ne peut faire autrement, il faut
absolument quil ait le même diamètre que le tuyau
original et sa longueur ne doit pas dépasser 150 cm.
Branchement électrique
Avant de brancher la fiche dans la prise de courant,
sassurer que:
la prise est bien reliée à la terre et est conforme aux
réglementations en vigueur;
la prise est bien apte à supporter la puissance
maximale de lappareil indiquée dans le tableau des
Caractéristiques techniques (voir ci-contre);
la tension dalimentation est bien comprise entre les
valeurs figurant dans le tableau des Caractéristiques
techniques (voir ci-contre);
la prise est bien compatible avec la fiche du lavan-
te-séchante. Autrement, remplacer la prise ou la
fiche.
Le lavante-séchante ne doit pas être installé dehors,
même à labri, car il est très dangereux de le laisser
exposé à la pluie et aux orages.
Après installation du lavante-séchante, la prise de
courant doit être facilement accessible.
Avant la première mise en service de lappareil,
effectuer un cycle de lavage avec un produit lessiviel
mais sans linge et sélectionner le programme 1 .
