Installation

! 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).

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 A device to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded attachment, then perform the connection by screwing the supply hose to the device. Before performing the

connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear. For a correct installation of the device, follow the instructions given in the packaging. ! The device is already adjusted for the correct operation of the washing machine and therefore it is recommended not to change its settings

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

1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any unevenness by tightening or loosening the adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of inclination, measured in relation to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

2. Connect the inlet hose to the washerdryer 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 range of values indicated in the Technical data table (see next page).

! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a drain duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, placed it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the duct supplied to the tap (see figure). The free end of the hose should not be underwater.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the event that these standards are not observed.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using wash cycle auto clean (see “Cleaning the

washer-dryer”).

Care and maintenance

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.

•Thewasher-dryerhasaautocleanprogramme for its internal parts that must be run with no load in the drum. To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles. To activate the programme, press the button for 5 seconds then press START/PAUSE to start the programme, which will last roughly 70 minutes.

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 (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anticlockwise (see figu- re): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see

figure).

Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

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.

How to run a wash cycle or a drying cycle

1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the On/Off button ; the text HOTPOINT will appear on the display and the START/ PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green colour.

2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door. Load the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum load value indicated in the table of programmes on the following page.

3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Open the detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents and laundry”.

4. CLOSE THE DOOR.

5. SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Use the WASH CYCLE SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle; the name of the wash cycle will appear on the display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle; these may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will appear on the display.

6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons:

Modifying the temperature and/or spin speed. The

machine automatically selects the maximum temperature and spin speed set for the selected wash cycle; these values cannot therefore be increased. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash (the display will visualise the “--” symbol) setting is reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded (the display will visualise the “--” symbol). If these buttons are pressed again, the maximum values are restored.

! Exception: if the 5 programme is selected, the

temperature can be increased up to a value of 40°C.

! Exception: if the 7 programme is selected, the

temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

! Exception: if the 9 programme is selected, the

temperature can be increased up to a value of 60°C.

Setting a delayed start.

To set a delayed start for the selected programme, press the corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached. To remove the delayed start function press the button until the text “-- h” appears on the display.

Setting the drying cycle.

The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing the DRYING button once or several times. Two options are available: A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have been dried:

Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards.

the remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.

Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a

cupboard without being ironed.

Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried

completely, such as sponges and bathrobes. B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes. To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until the text OFF appears on the display. If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load, 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. A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.

Drying only

Press button to perform the drying-only cycle. After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments), press button to exclude the washing

phase and start the drying phase at the maximum level for the selected cycle. The drying level or time may be set and changed by pressing the drying button . (Not compatible with cycles 1-2-3-4 and 14).

Set the rinse type.

Option makes it possible to select the desired rinse type for sensitive skin. Press the button once for the “Extra +1” level, which makes it possible to select an additional rinse after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent. Press the button again for the “Extra +2” level, which makes it possible to select two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; it is recommended for very sensitive skin. When the button is pressed for the third time, the “Extra +3” level is set, thus allowing the selection of 3 rinses in addition to the standard cycle’s rinses. The option - started with cycles at a temperature of 40°C - makes it possible to remove major allergens such as pollen, cat and dog hair. With cycles at a temperature higher than 40° a very good level of antiallergic protection is achieved. Press the button again to go back to the “Normal rinse” rinse type. If the current adjustment can be neither set nor changed, the display will show “No Selection” or “No Change”.

Modifying the cycle settings.

• Pressthebuttontoenablethefunction;therelevant

indicator light on the display will light up.

• Pressthebuttonagaintodisablethefunction;the

relevant indicator light on the display will switch off. ! If the selected function is incompatible with the set programme, the relevant indicator light will appear dimly lit; in addition, the incompatibility will be signalled by a buzzer (3 beeps) and the wording “No Selection” will appear on the display. ! If the selected function is incompatible with another previously set function, the wording “No Selection” will appear on the display and the function will not be enabled. ! The functions may affect the recommended load value and/or the duration of the cycle.

7. START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/PAUSE button. The corresponding indicator light will become green, remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the DOOR LOCKED symbol will be on). During the wash cycle, the name of the phase in progress will appear on the display. To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washer-dryer using the START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in an orange colour); then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR LOCKED symbol is switched off the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted.

8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This will be indicated by the text “CYCLE END” on the display; when the DOOR LOCKED symbol switches off the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the laundry and switch off the machine.

! If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, press and hold the button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch off.

Direct Injection

The washer-dryer is equipped with the innovative technology «Direct Injection» which pre-mixes water and detergent, thus immediately activating the detergent’s cleaning principles. This active emulsion is directly introduced into the drum of the washer-dryer and penetrates the fibres with more efficacy in cleaning even heavily soiled garments at low temperatures, fully preserving colours and fabrics. The mode «Power» ensures the best cleaning performance and the mode «EcoEnergy» allows more energy saving.
