Process
Mixed fabrics
The water is gradually cooled throughout the final
2 rinses with no spinning and then a delicate spin
assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics.
Delicate fabrics
The final 2 rinses are carried out with no spinning
and then the fabrics are left in water until it is
time to unload. When you are ready to unload,
press the anti-crease button (M) to drain.
Page 12

Woollens / silk
After the final rinse the fabrics are left in water
until it is time to unload. When you are ready to
unload, press the anti-crease button (M) to drain
and spin.
Start / pause button
This button should be used to start the chosen wash program.
When the button is pressed, the appliance will begin the cycle
within a few seconds. You can also press this button to pause a
wash cycle in progress and continue after. When a program is
selected, wait for the STOP light to flash before pressing the
Start / Pause button.
Detergent drawer
Pre wash section
This compartment should have detergent placed in it, if you are going
to select a wash program that has a pre wash as part of it.
Main wash section
This compartment should have detergent placed in it (you should also
put a water softening agent in this section, if you use one). The
detergent will be added to the drum at the start of the main wash
program.
Conditioner section
This compartment should be used for liquid conditioners (fabric
softener, starch). They will be added to the wash load during the final
rinse.
Page 13
13
o If liquid detergents are used,
insert the special container
supplied into the compartment
labelled “II”.
o This ensures that the liquid
detergent enters the drum at
the right stage of the wash
cycle.
o Some detergents are difficult to
utilise. You can use them in a
drum dispenser if
recommended by the detergent
manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: Only put liquid products in the conditioner
compartment.
Preparing the wash cycle
Preparing your garments for washing
o Your washing should be sorted out, according to
the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is
printed on the garment’s wash care label. (See the
“A selection of wash care symbols” section on
pages 14-15).
o Your washing should also be sorted out
according to the degree of soiling.
o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure
that they are empty.
o Remove any detachable metal items (badges,
paperclips, safety pins etc).
o Zips should be closed, duvet covers and pillow cases should be
buttoned up and any loose straps should be tied up. This will
Page 14
14
help to prevent other garments from getting damaged during the
wash.
o Woollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out
before being washed in the appliance.
o Small delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in
either a washing net or a zipped pillow case.
o Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks
or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the
appliance.
o Coloured items and whites should be washed
in separate wash cycles.
o New garments often contain an excess of
dye, therefore it is advisable to wash them separately for their
first wash.
o Garments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed
inside the machine.

o The wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the
most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your
laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the
highest temperature which the garment can be washed at.
o If the wash care label does not appear in the table on the
previous page, then please refer to the program table on pages
16-17. This gives more detailed descriptions of the types of
fabric that are suitable to be washed using a particular wash
program.
Detergents and conditioners
The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will
depend on
o The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general
require less detergent.
o The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a
reduction in the amount of detergent.
o The hardness of your tap water. The harder your water is,
then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent
manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra
detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the
water.
Liquid detergent
If you are using liquid detergent, then in the majority of cases the
liquid should be placed inside the dosing device supplied by the
detergent manufacturer. All instructions on the detergent packaging
should be followed.
Water softening agents
If your tap water is hard, then it may be prudent to utilise a water
softening agent. This will help to ensure that the appliance does not
become clogged with hard water deposits. You may also find that it will
allow you to lessen the amount of detergent that you are using.
When using any detergent or water softening
agent, the recommendations of the
manufacturers should be followed.

Program description
o The cotton program is designed for maximum washing and
rinsing efficiency. With spin cycles in between, the program
guarantees the laundry is rinsed thoroughly. The final spin cycle
ensures laundry is spun dry as much as possible up to the
maximum speed.
o The main wash and rinse gives the best results due to the
rotation rhythms of the drum and the water levels.
o A gentle spin ensures the fabrics become less creased.
o This cycle alternates washing and soaking and is recommended
for very delicate fabrics.
o The wash cycle and rinses are carried out with high water levels
to ensure best results.
o This cycle enables you to thoroughly wash woollen garments
without damaging them.
o The cycle consists of alternate periods of activity and pauses.
Page 18
18
o This program allows a complete washing cycle for garments
specified as “Hand-wash only” and laundry items made from silk
on the fabric label.
o This cycle has a maximum temperature of 30°C and concludes
with 3 final rinses and no final spin.
o This program allows a complete washing cycle to be carried out
in approximately 30 minutes. We recommend that you only use
20% of the recommended quantities shown on detergent
packaging for this program.
o This program maintains the high quality wash performance
associated with the “A” rating whilst greatly reducing the wash
time.
o This program is designed to obtain the same washing
performance, even at full load, as the 60°C Cotton program but
with the advantage of saving energy by washing at 40°C.
o This program enables you to wash together different types of
fabrics e.g. cotton and synthetic fast coloureds.
o The cycle washes while saving energy by using a temperature of
40°C and alternating spin action with soaking phases.

Saving energy when using your washer dryer
o To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent, we
recommend that you put a full load in your washer dryer but
without exceeding the recommended maximum load size. Up to
50% of energy saving can be made with one full load compared
to two half load washes.
o Only use the cycles with a pre-wash for particularly dirty loads.
Energy savings of 5% to 15% can be made by not selecting the
pre-wash option for normal soiled laundry.
o Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need
to wash at temperatures over 60°C. Energy savings of up to
50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather
than 90°C.
o Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce
the water content in laundry before using a drying program.
Automatic consumption reduction
o The washer dryer is fitted with an automatic consumption
reduction system which enables the machine to use the amount
of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the
particular load size.
o This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and
electricity needed to heat it to the minimum temperature
required without compromising the washing and rinsing
performance in any way.
o The amount of water and electricity used will always be
appropriate for the amount of laundry which ensures you achieve
excellent washing results whilst respecting the environment and
saving money.
Removing stains
Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may
need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the
washer dryer.
o Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like blood, milk or
grass.
o Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash.

Stain removal rules
o Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot
water can set stains.
o Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.
o Before treating any stain try to establish; what kind of stain it is,
how old the stain is, what the fabric type is and whether the
fabric is colourfast (check the care label to find this out).
o Washing and drying can fix some stains.
o When bleach is recommended, use a mild fabric bleach that is
safe for the fabric.
o If you need to use a stain remover, put the stained area face
down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to
the back of the stain. This forces the stain off the fabric, instead
of through it.
Stain removal guide
Stain Removal Method
Alcoholic
beverages
The stain should be first washed with cold water, then
wiped with glycerine and water and rinsed with water
mixed with vinegar.
Shoe polish The stain should be softly scratched without ruining the
material, then rubbed with detergent and rinsed. In case
it is not eliminated, rub with 1 unit of pure alcohol (96
degrees) mixed in 2 units of water and then washed with
lukewarm water.
Tea and
coffee
Stretch the stained area of material on the top of a
container and pour water as hot as the material can
endure on it. If the type of material is suitable, wash it
with lye.
Chocolate
and cocoa
Leave your clothes in cold water and rub with soap or
detergent, wash it in the highest temperature that the
material type can endure. If there is still a stain of oil left,
wipe with oxygenated water (in proportion of 3%).
Tomato
paste
Scrape the dried pieces without ruining the material, then
leave in cold water for about 30 minutes and wash by
rubbing with detergent.
Meat broth/
egg
Eliminate the dried stain residues and wipe with a sponge
or soft cloth wetted in cold water. Rub with detergent and
wash with diluted lye.
Grease and
oil stains
First wipe the residues. Rub the stain with detergent and
then wash with lukewarm soapy water.
Mustard First apply glycerine to the stained area. Rub with
detergent and then wash. If the stain still does not
disappear, wipe with alcohol (on synthetic and coloured
Page 28
28
cloth, a mixture of 1 unit alcohol, 2 units water should be
used).
Blood stain Lay your clothes in cold water for 30 minutes. If the stain
still does not disappear, lay in mixture of water and
ammonia (3 table-spoons of ammonia in 4 litres of water)
for 30 minutes.
Cream, ice-
cream and
milk
Lay your clothes in cold water and rub the stained area
with detergent. If the stain has still not disappeared,
apply lye on the fabric of your clothes in proper
proportion. (Do not use lye on coloured clothes).
Mould Mould stains should be cleaned as soon as possible. The
stain should be washed with detergent, and if it does not
disappear, it should be wiped with oxygenated water (in
proportion of 3%).
Ink Hold the stained area under cold water and wait until the
inky water completely runs off. Then rub with water
diluted with lemon juice and detergent. Wait five minutes
and then wash.
Fruit Stretch the stained area of your clothes on the top part of
a container and pour cold water on it. Do not pour hot
water on the stain. Wipe with cold water and apply
glycerine. Wait for 1-2 hours and rinse after wiping with a
few drops of white vinegar.
Grass stain Rub the stained part with detergent. If the type of fabric
is suitable for use of lye, wash it with lye. Rub your
woollen clothes with alcohol (for coloured one, a mixture
of 1 unit pure alcohol and 2 units of water).
Oil paint The stain should be eliminated before it dries by applying
thinner on it. Then it should be rubbed with detergent and
washed.
Burnt stain If your fabric is suitable for the use of lye, you can add
lye into your washing water. For woollen fabrics, a cloth
dampened in oxygenated water should be pressed on the
stain and it should be ironed with a dry cloth on it. It
should be washed after rinsing well.

Maintenance and cleaning
In daily use
o Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the
detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out.
o Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a wash cycle
has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and
to protect the door seal.
o Close the water tap.
o We suggest that you disconnect the appliance from your mains
supply, when it is not in use.
Control panel and washer dryer cabinet.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive cleaner or household polish on
either the control panel or operating parts.
o Wipe over the control panel and the external surface of the
machine using a brand new damp cloth with warm water.
o If you ever spill any liquid detergent or conditioner from the
detergent drawer onto the washer dryer cabinet, then these
should be cleaned up immediately as they could be corrosive.
Detergent drawer
Occasionally the detergent drawer should be cleaned.
o Pull the detergent drawer out as far as it will go and then
remove the drawer by pulling firmly.
Page 30
30
o Use warm water and a brush to thoroughly clean the three
compartments of the detergent drawer.
o Clean the area that the detergent drawer slides into with a
brush.
o Replace the detergent drawer by placing it back into the slot.
Then push the drawer fully back into position.
The washer dryer drum
The drum of your washer dryer is constructed from stainless steel.
However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then
it is possible for the drum to become stained.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a descaling agent, iron/steel wool or
scouring agents to clean the drum of your appliance.
o Remove any rust stains on the drum with an appropriate
stainless steel cleaning agent.
Door
o You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed,
or there are any foreign bodies in the rubber door gasket. This
sits inside the opening of the porthole door.
o Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of
soiling and residues from the water can result in water leaking
from the door.
90 degree maintenance wash
The warm and damp environment of a washer dryer can lead to a
bacteria build up inside of the machine and in extreme cases you may
even get a “sludge” like material building. To prevent this from
happening, you should do the following:-
o Leave the door ajar for a few minutes after the wash cycle has
completed.
o Once a month, set your appliance on a 90 degree wash.
o You should not put clothing inside the appliance for this
maintainence wash.
o You should use a wash powder that contains a bleaching agent
(i.e. not a wash powder that is only suitable for washing
coloured garments).
Page 31
31
Cleaning the filter
o The washing machine is fitted with a
special filter for catching large
deposits which could block the
discharge hose such as coins, buttons
etc… so they can be easily retrieved.
o Before removing the filter, it is
recommended that you place a towel
below the filter cap to collect any
small amounts of water which are
likely to be inside the pump.
o To remove the filter you should turn it
anti-clockwise until it stops in the
vertical position as shown in the
diagram opposite. You can then
remove and clean filter.
o After cleaning, replace the filter by
turning the notch on the end of the
filter in a clockwise direction.
Long periods of not in use
o If the appliances is being
transported or is out of use for
long periods in unheated places,
all remaining water must be
completely removed from the
hoses.
o Ensure the mains power is off
and then unclip the hose and
point it downwards into a basin
until all the water has emptied
out.

Poor wash results
My garments are looking grey and there are limescale
deposits present in the drum of my washing machine.
o There is not enough detergent being added.
o The incorrect detergent is being used.
o Stains are not being pre-treated.
o The correct wash program or wash temperature was not
selected.
I have followed the advice given above, but my
garments are still coming out with grey stains on them.
o The garments are soiled with oils, ointments or grease
and were washed without enough detergent.
o The wash temperature selected was too low.
o Fabric conditioner has come into contact with the
garments. If this happens try to wash out these stains
as quickly as you can and try to avoid getting
conditioner on the garments in the future.
Page 34
34
After the final rinse, I can still see foam.
o Modern detergents can result in there still being foam in the final
rinse. This does not mean that the washing is not being rinsed
properly.
There is white residue on my garments when I remove
them from the appliance.
o Modern detergents can contain insoluble contents, and white
residue after a wash cycle is not necessarily a sign of the garments
not being rinsed properly.
o You should shake out the garment or brush it off. In future possibly
turn the garment inside out before it is washed. You may wish to
move from a powder detergent and switch to a liquid detergent
instead.
