Installation

GB

! 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).

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°.

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 supply
pipe by screwing it to
a cold water tab using
a ¾ gas threaded con­nection (see figure).
Before performing the
connection, allow the
water to run freely until
it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet
hose to the washer-dr­yer 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 values indicated in the Technical details 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.

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

Con nec t th e dr ain
hose, without bending
it, to a drainage duct or
a wall drain located at a
height between 65 and
100 cm from the floor;

alternatively, rest it on
the side of a washba­sin or bathtub, faste­ning the duct supplied
to the tap (see figure).
The free end of the
hose should not be
underwater.

! The cable should not be bent or compressed.
! The cable should be replaced only by authori-

sed technicians.
! If the supply cord is damaged, it must be repla-

ced by the manufacturer, its service agent or simi­larly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Warning! The company shall not be held re­sponsible for any incidents that occur if these
regulations 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 the wash cycle 2.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions;
if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must
have the same diameter as the original hose and
must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical so­cket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with cur­rent regulations;

• the socket can withstand the maximum load of
the appliance, which is indicated in the Techni­cal data table (see opposite);

• the power supply voltage falls within the values in­dicated in the Technical data table (see opposite);

• the socket is compatible with the plug of the ap­pliance. If this is not the case, either the socket
or the plug must be replaced.

! The machine must not be installed outdoors,
even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous
to leave the appliance exposed to rain, storms
and other weather conditions.

! Once the machine has been installed, the
electricity socket should be easily accessible.

! Avoid using any extension cord or multiple
socket outlet.

! CAUTION: if this appliance is supplied from a
cord extension set or electrical portable outlet
device, the cord extension set or electrical por­table outlet device must be positioned so that it
is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.

Care and maintenance

GB

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.

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.

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 washer­dryer (see figure);

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

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.
