Installation

 Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

future reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the Washer-dryer to inform the new owner as to its operation and features.

 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital

information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the Washer-dryer.

2. Check whether the Washer-dryer has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the four protective screws and the rubber washer with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the Washer-dryer needs to be moved to another location.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the Washerdryer.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Insert seal A into the end of the inlet hose and screw the latter onto a cold water tap

with a 3/4 gas threaded mouth (see figure). Before making the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the Washer-dryer, screwing it onto the appliance's cold water inlet, situated on the top right-hand side on the rear of the appliance (see figure).

 Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

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

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 according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

 The water pressure at the tap must be within the

values indicated in the Technical details table (on the next page).

 If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact

a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

 Never use hoses that have already been used.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

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

 Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

 The power supply cable must never be bent or

dangerously compressed.

 The power supply cable must only be replaced by

an authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.

The first wash cycle

alternatively, place 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.

 We advise against the use of hose extensions; in

case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:  the socket is earthed and in compliance with the

applicable law;

 the socket is able to sustain the appliance's

maximum power load indicated in the Technical details table (on the right);

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C programme without a pre-wash cycle.

Instructions for the fitter

Mounting the wooden panel onto the door and inserting the machine into cabinets:

In the case where the machine must be shipped for final installation after the wooden panel has been mounted, we suggest leaving it in its original packaging. The packaging was designed to make it possible to mount the wooden panel onto the machine without removing it completely

(see figures below).

The wooden panel that covers the face of the machine must not be less than 18 mm in thickness and can be hinged on either the right or left. For the sake of practicality when using the machine, we recommend that the panel be hinged on the same side as the door for the machine itself - the left.

N° 4 Spacers

Using the Drilling Template.

- To trace the positions of the holes on the left-hand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top left side of the panel using the lines traced on the extremities as a reference.

- To trace the positions of the holes on the right-hand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top right side of the panel.

- Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.

Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door).

- Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part of the hinge must be positioned facing away from the panel) and fasten them with the 4 type A screws.

- Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side of the hinges and fasten it with the two type B screws.

- Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole. The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.

Mounting the Panel into the machine.

Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in fig. 2) into the hole for the hinge and push the panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type D screws.

Fastening the plinth guide.

If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular cabinets, mount either one or both of the guides for the base molding (as shown in fig. 8). Adjust them for depth based on the position of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten the base to the guides (fig. 9). This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8): Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into the special slot and once it is in the desired position, lock it in place using angle P and screw R.

Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.

- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the cabinets (fig. 6).

- Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the appropriate height.

- To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the vertical and horizontal directions, use the C and D screws, as shown in fig. 7.

Important: close the lower part of the appliance front by ensuring that the plinth rests against the floor.

Fig. 8 Fig. 9

Accessories provided for the height adjustment.

The following can be found inside the polystyrene lid (fig. 10): 2 crossbars (G), 1 strip (M)

the following can be found inside the appliance drum: 4 additional feet (H), 4 screws (I), 4 screws (R), 4 nuts (L), 2 plinth guides (Q)

Adjusting the appliance height.

The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from 815 mm to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet. Should you require the appliance to be placed higher than the above height, you need to use the following accessories to raise it to up to 870 mm: the two crossbars (G); the 4 feet (H); the 4 screws (I); the 4 nuts (L) then perform the following operations (fig. 11): remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of the appliance, fastening it in place using screws I (screwing them in where the original feet were) then insert the new feet H. Repeat the same operation at the back of the appliance. Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835 mm to 870 mm. Once you have reached the desired height, lock nuts L onto crossbar G. To adjust the appliance to a height between 870 mm and 900 mm, you need to mount strip M, adjusting feet H to the required height. Insert the strip as follows: loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the Top cover of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in fig. 12, then fasten screws N.

FUNCTION buttons: to select the functions available. The button corresponding to the function selected will remain on.

Note: to avoid excessive vibrations, before every spin cycle the machine distributes the load in a uniform manner by continuously rotating the drum at a speed which is slightly faster than the normal washing speed. When, despite repeated attempts, the load is still not evenly distributed, the machine spins at a lower speed than the set frequency. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the machine attempts to distribute it instead of spinning. The balancing attempts may extend the total duration of the cycle, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

TEMPERATURE knob: to set the temperature or the cold wash cycle (see page 9).

START/RESET button: to start the programmes or cancel any incorrect settings.

ON-OFF/DOOR LOCK Led: to find out whether the Washer-dryer is on and if the appliance door can be opened (see page 7).
