Before calling for Assistance

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.

 Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.

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°.

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 washer-dryer.

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.

 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.

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).

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

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:

BLUE NEUTRAL (N) BROWN LIVE (L) GREEN & YELLOW EARTH (E)

 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) 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.

 Do not use hand wash detergent because it may

form too much foam.

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 1,5 kg.

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 6 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg

Wool: max 1,5 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

Precautions and advice

 The Washer-dryer was designed and built in

compliance with the applicable international safety regulations. The following information is provided for your safety and should consequently be read carefully.

General safety

 This appliance has been designed for non-

professional, household use and its functions must not be changed.

 This washing machine should only be used by

adults and in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

 Never touch the washing machine when barefoot

or with wet or damp hands or feet.

 Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug

the appliance from the electricity socket. Pull the plug out yourself.

 Do not open the detergent dispenser while the

appliance is in operation.

 Do not touch the drain water as it could reach

very high temperatures.

 Never force the washing machine door: this could

damage the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent any accidental openings.

 In the event of a malfunction, do not under any

circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs.

 Always keep children well away from the

appliance while in operation.

 The appliance door tends to get quite hot during

the wash cycle.

 Should it have to be moved, proceed with the

help of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

 Before loading your laundry into the washing

machine, make sure the drum is empty.

 During the drying phase, the door tends to get

quite hot.

 Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have

been washed with flammable solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene).

 Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or

similar elastomers.

 Make sure that the water tap is turned on during

the drying cycles.

Disposal

 Disposing of the packaging material:

observe local regulations, so the packaging can be re-used.

 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal

waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Environmentally-friendly technology

If you only see a little water through your appliance door, this is because thanks to the latest Ariston technology, your washing machine only needs less than half the amount of water to get the best results: an objective reached to respect the environment.

Saving on detergent, water, energy and time

 To avoid wasting resources, the Washer-dryer

should be used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy.

 The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely

soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy.

 Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving

them to soak before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high temperatures. A programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at 40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on energy.

 Use the correct quantity of detergent depending

on the water hardness, how soiled the garments are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the environment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the environment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener as much as possible.

 If you use your washing machine from late in the

afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board's peak load. The Delay Timer option (see page 9) helps to organise your wash cycles accordingly.

 If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer,

select a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying process.

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water or electricity supply

 Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will

limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks.

 Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and

during all maintenance operations.

Cleaning your appliance

The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

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 that does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same.

 Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug

the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front of the Washer-dryer (see figure);

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

Caring for your appliance door and drum

 Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent

unpleasant odours from forming.

3. clean the interior 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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

 Never use hoses that have already been used.
