!Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

!Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

!If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

!Only use the hose-sets supplied with the appliance for the water supply connection (do not reuse old hose-sets).

!Water pressure must be between 0,05 MPa and 0,8 MPa.

!Make sure that a carpet do not obstruct the base of the machine and ventilation openings.

!The OFF condition is reached by placing the reference mark on the programmes control/knob in the vertical position. Any other different position of such control sets the machine in ON condition (only for models with programmes knob).

!The final part of a washer dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

WARNING:

never stop a washer dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

!After installation, the appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

!The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the washer dryer, in such way that a full opening of the washer dryer door is restricted.

A liquid detergent cup is also included in some models (fig. 10). To use it, place it in compartment "2". This way, liquid detergent will only enter the drum at the right time. The cup can also be used for bleach when the “Rinse” program is selected.

WARNING:

some detergents are hard to remove. In this case we recommend using the specific container to be placed in the drum (example in figure 11).

3. PRACTICAL TIPS

Load tips

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

-have eliminated metallic objects such as barrettes, pins, coins, from laundry;

-to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;

-to have removed rollers from curtains;

-to have carefully read clothing washing labels;

-to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.

reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.

Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

Before using… a drying programme

!SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.

!When washing rugs, bedcovers or other heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid centrifuging.

!To wash wool, make sure the item can be machine washed and marked by the “Pure virgin wool” symbol with the “Does not mat” or “Machine washable” label.

Helpful suggestions for the user

A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

!Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size.

Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling.

Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.

Do you need to pre-wash?

!For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.

Is a hot wash required?

!Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to

For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.

4.MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

To clean the washing machine exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. The washing machine does not require any special care for ordinary cleaning: clean drawer compartments and the filter; some tips on how to move the machine or on long periods of disuse are provided below.

Drawer cleaning

!We recommend you clean the drawer to avoid accumulating detergent and additive residue.

!To do this, extract the drawer using slight force, clean it with running water and reinsert it in its housing.

Filter cleaning

!The washing machine comes with a special filter able to trap large residue, such as buttons or coins, which could clog the drain.

!Only available on certain models: pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.

!Before unscrewing the filter, we recommend you place an absorbent cloth under it to keep the floor dry.

!Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the limit stop in the vertical position.

!Remove and clean the filter; when finished, replace it turning it clockwise.

!Repeat the previous steps in reverse order to reassemble all parts.

Suggestions for moves or prolonged disuse

!Should the washing machine be stored in an unheated room for a long period of time, drain all water from tubes.

!Unplug the washing machine.

!Detach the tube from the strap and lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.

!Secure the drain tube with the strap when finished.
