Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe GB 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 pro-

tective 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.

! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.

Levelling

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.

Connecting the electricity and water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold water tab using a ¾ gas threaded connection (see figure).

Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet hose to the washer dryer by screwing it onto the corresponding water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical details table

(see next page).

	1. Install the washer dryer on a flat sturdy floor,	! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a

		Mounting the wooden panel onto the door
		and inserting the machine into cabinets:
		In the case where the machine must be shipped
		for final installation after the wooden panel has
		been mounted, we suggest leaving it in its ori-
		ginal packaging. The packaging was designed
		to make it possible to mount the wooden panel
		onto the machine without removing it completely
		(see figures below).
		The wooden panel that covers the face of
		the machine must not be less than 18 mm in
		thickness and can be hinged on either the right
		or left. For the sake of practicality when using
		the machine, we recommend that the panel be
		hinged on the same side as the door for the
		machine itself - the left.

Using the Drilling Template.

- To trace the positions of the holes on the lefthand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top left side of the panel using the lines traced on the extremities as a reference.

- To trace the positions of the holes on the righthand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top right side of the panel.

- Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.

Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door).

- Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part of the hinge must be positioned facing away from the panel) and fasten them with the 4 type A screws.

- Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side of the hinges and fasten it with the two type B screws.

- Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole. The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.

Mounting the Panel into the machine.

Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in fig. 2) into the hole for the hinge and push the panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type D screws.

Fastening the plinth guide.

If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular cabinets, mount either one or both of the guides for the base molding (as shown in fig. 8). Adjust them for depth based on the position of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten the base to the guides (fig. 9).

This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8): Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into the special slot and once it is in the desired position, lock it in place using angle P and screw R.

Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.

- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the cabinets (fig. 6).

- Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the appropriate height.

- To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the vertical and horizontal directions, use the C and D screws, as shown in fig. 7.

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. unscrew the lid by rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

2.clean the inside thoroughly;

3.screw the lid back on;

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.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

•Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

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.

-If the selected function is not compatible with the programmed wash cycle, the corresponding indicator light will flash and the function will not be activated.

-If a function which is incompatible with another function selected previously, only the most recent selection will remain active.

1/2 Spin

By selecting this function, reduces the spin speed.

Super Wash

Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.

Extra rinse

By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

Delay timer

This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 9 hours.

Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button is pressed, the function will be disabled.

N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

GB

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.

!Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for prewashing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

!Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam.

MAX	4

Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: 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 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid. extra compartment 4: Bleach

Bleach cycle

! Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

		This option is particularly
		useful for the removal of
		stubborn stains. Place extra
	MAX	compartment 4 (supplied)
		into compartment 1.
		When pouring in the bleach,
MAX		be careful not to exceed the
		“max” level marked on the
		central pivot (see figure).
		To bleach during a wash
cycle, pour in the detergent and any fabric softener you
wish to use, set the desired wash cycle and enable the
“Super Wash”	option. The use of extra compartment 4

excludes the “Pre-wash” option.

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: see “Table of wash cycles”.

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

Delicates: use programme 6 to wash very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate garments.

When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and appropriate temperature control of the water jet.

The recommended durations are:

1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min

1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min 1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min

The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric composition.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the products are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine (M1126)

Wash&Dry 45’ select programme 10 for washing and drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and Synthetic) in a short time. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes. To achieve optimum results,

use liquid detergent and pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains.

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 washerdryer 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.

Troubleshooting

	Your washer-dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that
			GB
	the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washer-dryer does not switch on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washer-dryer does not take in water (the indicator light for the first wash cycle stage flashes rapidly).

The washer-dryer continuously takes in and drains water.

The washer-dryer does not drain or spin.

The washer-dryer vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

The washer-dryer leaks.

The START/PAUSE indicator light (orange) and the function indicator lights flash rapidly.

There is too much foam.

The washer-dryer does not dry.

Possible causes / Solutions:

•The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.

•There is no power in the house.

•The washer-dryer door is not closed properly.

•The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

•The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

•The water tap has not been opened.

•A delayed start has been set (see “Personalisation”).

•The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

•The hose is bent.

•The water tap has not been opened.

•There is no water supply in the house.

•The pressure is too low.

•The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

•The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor

(see “Installation”).

•The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

•The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the washer-dryer to fill with water and drain continuously. Special antidraining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.

•The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually.

•The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).

•The drainage duct is clogged.

•The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).

•The washer-dryer is not level (see “Installation”).
