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 bush with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see also the installation leaflet). NB:The plastic spacers may fall down inside the

machine once the bolt has been removed, and will not interfere with the operation of the machine.

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the washing machine 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

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

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°.

 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.

 Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water

through. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus prevent water reaching the machine.

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;

 the supply voltage is included within the values

indicated on the Technical details table (see page 5);

 the socket is compatible with the washer-dryer's

plug. If this is not the case, replace the socket or the plug.

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions below.

The drain hose may be connected to an under-sink trap. Before connecting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks

Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap

or removable ends have been taken off the spigot.

If it is place over the edge of a basin or sink be sure 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. Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.

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 (see page 5);

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers: If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please ensure that either: the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval. or: the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into a socket.

Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug: Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow Earth Blue Neutral Brown Live

ServiceTroubleshootingPrecautions CareProgrammes DetergentsInstallation Description

As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifyng the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E

or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

or Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red. Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black. If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board. If you are in any doubt the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use. How to connect an alternative plug: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

ServiceTroubleshootingPrecautions CareProgrammes DetergentsInstallation Description

 The machine has an intelligent built in check for out of balance loads. To let protect your machine it may reduce the final spin

speed if an unbalanced load is detected.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

Open up the detergent

dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the wash cycle start.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

 Do not use hand wash detergent because it may

form too much foam.

Bleach cycle

Preparing your laundry

 Divide your laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

 Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.  Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,

which refer to the weight when dry: Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg Wool: max 1 kg

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g 1 pillow case 150-200 g 1 tablecloth 400-500 g 1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g 1 towel 150-250 g

Special items

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow

case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 6 which excludes the spin cycle automatically. Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle. Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.

 Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy

white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

Place extra compartment 4, provided, into compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level indicated on the central pivot (see figure).

To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into extra compartment 4, set the Rinse programme and enable the Stain removal option (see page 9). To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and fabric softener, set the desired programme and enable the Stain removal option (see page 9). The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the possibility of using the pre-wash cycle.
