WASH CYCLES
Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum recommended temperature for washing the garment.
Cotton: suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled. Synthetics: specic for synthetic items. If the dirt is dicult to remove, the temperature can be increased up to 60° and powder detergent can be used too. Mixed: for washing lightly to normally soiled resilient garments in cotton, linen, synthetic bres and mixed bres. Eco 40-60: for washing normally soiled cotton garments declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle. This is the standard cotton programme and the most ecient in terms of water and energy consumption.
White: suitable for resistant linen and cotton that are heavily soiled. 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.
Colours: for washing coloured cotton garments. This programme is optimised to keep colours bright even after repeated washing. Dark: use programme 8 to wash dark-coloured garments. This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best results when washing dark-coloured garments. When you select the drying function, at the end of the washing cycle the machine will automatically perform a delicate drying cycle that preserves the colours of the garments. The display will show the level “ ”. Max. load: 5 kg. Antidour: use programme 9 for washing garments with bad odours (e.g. smoke, sweat, fried food). The programme is designed to remove bad odours while preserving the fabric bres. Synthetics fabrics or mixed loads should be washed at 40°.
20°C: for washing lightly soiled cotton garments, at a temperature of 20 °C.
Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue:
The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark Company for washing wool garments classied as “hand-washable”, provided that the wash complies with the instructions appearing on the garment’s label and with those provided by the manufacturer of this washer­dryer. (M1318)
Rapid 30’: this programme is designed to wash lightly soiled garments at 30° (excluding wool and silk) with a 4.5 kg maximum load in a short time: it only lasts 30 minutes and allows for saving time and energy.
Wash&Dry 45’: select programme 13 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 cus, collars and stains. AirFresh: ideal cycle to refresh garments and remove bad odours, in particular smoke, from cotton and synthetic items in 30’ (max. 1.5 kg) without the washing phase.
Rinse + Spin: designed for rinsing and spinning.
Spin + Drain: designed to spin and drain the water.
Eco Cotton: for washing normally soiled cotton garments at 60°C.

Two dierent types of drying are possible: time-based and level-based. Press the TIME-BASED DRYING button to set the desired drying duration: 40’- 90’- 120’ - 150 ’- 180’. When the button is pressed for the rst time, the selected time will be the minimum time allowed for the set cycle. When the machine has started the drying phase, press the TIME­BASED DRYING button again to reduce the drying duration that was set previously. The indicator lights will show the new drying duration selected and the time remaining will consider the time that has elapsed. Press the LEVEL-BASED DRYING button to set the desired drying level: Cupboard : suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard without being ironed.
Hanger : ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully. Iron : suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove. If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent table of wash cycles), 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. Note: if all the drying indicator lights are o, the machine will not perform the drying cycle.
Table of drying times (guideline values)
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 and duration can be set and changed by pressing the drying buttons , . (Not compatible with cycles 13 and 14).
PUSH & GO
To start the PUSH & GO cycle press and hold the button for 2 seconds. The indicator lights up to show that the cycle has started. The wash and drying cycle is ideal for cotton or synthetic fabrics, as it washes them at a temperature of 30° and a maximum spin speed of 1000 rpm. During the drying cycle the maximum temperature is 60°C. At the end of the cycle the residual humidity will be the same as for the “ ” level. Max recommended load 3 kg. (Cycle duration 215’).

3. Start the cycle by pressing and holding the PUSH & GO button for 2 seconds. The relevant indicator light will turn green and the door will lock (the DOOR LOCKED symbol is lit). NB: starting the cycle through the PUSH & GO button activates an automatic non-customisable wash and drying cycle recommended for cotton and synthetic fabrics.
4. The automatic cycle can be used only for washing, excluding the drying phase. Press the PUSH & GO button and then the drying button : the drying icon of the “ ” level will switch o. Maximum load for washing­only is 4 kg (Cycle duration 45’). The cycle cannot be customised further. To open the door while an automatic cycle is under way, press the START/ PAUSE button. If the DOOR LOCKED symbol is o, the door may be opened only during the washing phase. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted.
5. Once the programme is nished, the END indicator light turns on.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washer-dryer and the drum. Check all buttons. Follow the dosage recommendation / additives It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent. Use low temperature and longer duration The most ecient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the “Wash Cycle Table” table to save water and energy. Noise and remaining moisture content They are inuenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washer-dryer o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to clean the washer-dryer. Clean and maintain your washer-dryer periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Disconnect the water and power supplies Close the water tap after every wash. 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. Clean 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” cycle for its internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum. To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the quantity specied for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40 wash cycles. To start the cycle press buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds. The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button. Clean the detergent dispenser drawer Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently. Care for the door and drum Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. Clean the pump The washer-dryer is tted with a auto-cleaning pump that does not require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump. ! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. remove the cover panel on the front of the machine by rst pressing it in the centre then pushing downwards on both sides to extract it;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cover back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before pushing the panel onto the appliance.
Check the water inlet hose Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open. ! Never use hoses that have already been used.
LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin 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 washer-dryer 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.
ACCESSORIES
Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washer-dryer model.
Stacking kit
With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washer-dryer to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Do not lift the washer-dryer by gripping it from the upper section.
Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the “Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.
