Disposal
Tips for environmental protection
Packaging materials
The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.
>PE<=polyethylene >PS<=polystyrene >PP<=polypropylene
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers.
Machine
Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded (for both washing and drying cycles).
• The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately spun before being dried.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can be. When the machine is working, children should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum. To avoid this the machine incorporates a special feature. To activate this device, rotate the button (without pressing it) inside the door clockwise until the groove is horizontal. If necessary use a coin.
To disable this device and restore the possibility of closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise until the groove is vertical.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.

Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread.
Do not use already employed employed hoses. The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks

Page 8
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this
case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.
Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on a 230-240 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.
Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.05 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use.

Your new washer-dryer
This new machine, which is fitted with the New Jet System, meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.
Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is proportional to the quantity and type of laundry being washed.
The possibility of selecting the temperature, spin speed and all options offered by this machine gives you truly “customised” washing.
• The DELAY START option allows you to delay starting of the wash programme to the desired time of day.
• The RINSE HOLD function (stop with water in drum) can be selected for all fabrics: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to avoid the formation of creases.
The programme progress display shows the programme steps selected and the programme phase which is running.
The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
The drying programmes will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.
3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener.
The balance control device ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

Washing hints
Sorting the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
95° for normally soiled white cottons and linen
(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)
60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments
(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in
linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed
30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and
woollens.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed; Synthetics: drum no more than half full; Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than
one third full. Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient
use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative: bathrobe 1200 g napkin 100 g quilt cover 700 g sheet 500 g pillow case 200 g tablecloth 250 g towelling towel 200 g tea cloth 100 g night dress 200 g ladies’ briefs 100 g man’s work shirt 600 g man’s shirt 200 g man’s pyjamas 500 g blouse 100 g men’s underpants 100 g
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any
Page 16
ENGLISH
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if: – you are washing a small load, – the laundry is lightly soiled, – large amounts of foam form during washing.
residual marks with bleach. Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric
first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric, – powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)
and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature
wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.
The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»
mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Drying hints
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the
drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.
Load
Warning: Loads of washed laundry exceeding these values
must be divided before being dried, otherwise poor results will be obtained.
Garments not suitable for drying
• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic
curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials
similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions
or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
Drying symbols on garment labels
Always look at the garment label to check whether garments can be machine dried.
The following symbols refer to drying:
Machine drying is usually possible Normal drying (normal temperature) Gentle drying (reduced temperature) Do not machine dry
Duration of the drying cycle
The drying time can vary according to
• the final spin speed;
• the required degree of drying (extra dry, store dry or iron dry);
• the type of laundry;
• the size of load.
The usual drying times for the timed programmes are indicated in the programme chart. As you become more familiar with the appliance, you will discover the drying times that best suit your needs according to the various type of fabric. It is a good idea to make a note of these times.
Fibre residue
After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is advisable to perform the rinse programme by means of the SKIP/RESET button to be sure that any residue that may remain in the tub is completely removed and does not stick to garments dried afterwards.
After each drying cycle the filter should be checked and cleaned.
Additional drying
Should the laundry still be too wet at the end of the programme, set another short drying cycle.
Warning! To prevent the formation of creases or shrinking of fabrics, avoid excessive drying.

13. How to open a programme
during its cycle
You can open the door, after having set the washing machine to Pause, provided the following conditions exist:
• the machine is not in the heating phase beyond
55°C;
• the level of the water is not high;
If these requirements are met, when you pause the washer dryer, the door can be opened.
Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by turning the selector dial to “Off”.
After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.
Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the machine!
When you close the door to restart the programme turn the dial to the previous programme repeating the options previously selected and press “Start/Pause” button.
14. At the end of the programme
At the end of the programme, the washer-dryer stops automatically. The light of the “Start/Pause” button goes off, the pilot light “Prewash/Wash” goes off. The display will show a flashing zero.
If you had selected the (Rinse Hold) option, the corresponding lights will be on, the display will show a flashing zero but the door will be locked to indicate that the water must be drained.
To complete the cycle, there are 2 possibilities :
• turn the selector dial to the “Off” position, select programme “Drain” and then depress the “Start/Pause” button: the water is emptied out without spinning.
or
• turn the selector dial to the “Off” position and then select programme “Spin” or “Gentle Spin”. Select the spin speed by means of the relevant button and then depress the “Start/Pause” button. The water is emptied out and the laundry is spun at the selected spin speed.
Remove the laundry from the washing machine. Check whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry.
We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket.
Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

1.Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.
2.Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a detergent used to handwash dishes. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork.
3.Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer.

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartments can be removed.
C0067
C0066
P1050 n
Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.
4.Drain pump
The pump should be inspected if
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the appliance.
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
• Open the pump door.
• Place a container close to the pump to collect any
spillage.
• Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in
the container and remove its cap.
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the
pump and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the pump.

ENGLISH
6.Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
• open the the pump door;
• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the
emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;
• clean the pump if necessary as previously
described;
• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat
after having plugged it;
• screw the pump again and close the door.
7.Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet
hose from the tap.
• Place the end of the emergency emptying hose
and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition
the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
27
• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat.
• Screw the pump fully in.
• Close the pump door.
5.Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the tap. Clean the filter with a stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Problem Possible cause
• Spinning starts late or the laundry is not spun enough:
• The machine will not dry or the laundry is not dry enough
• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after few minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will spin at a lower speed. If at the end of the programme the laundry is not spun enough, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
• The water tap is closed (E10).
• The drain filter is clogged (E20).
• The drying time or degree of
dryness has not been
selected.
• An appropriate drying time or degree of dryness has not been chosen.
• There is too much laundry inside the appliance.
Water is not
visible in the machine. The machine,
which is the result of modern technology, runs
in a very economical way with low water
consumption. Performance is
nevertheless excellent.
The machine makes an unusual
noise. The machine is fitted with a commutator
motor which improves machine
performance.
