Your New Washer-Dryer
Your new washer-dryer, which is fitted with the Jet System, meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.
Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated automatically according to the load and type of fabric.
The programme progress display shows the programme steps selected, the programme phase which is running and the end of the programme.
The programme selector dial combines the function of programme and temperature selection, making it easier to set the programme.
Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 90°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.
The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
The balance control device ensures that the washer-dryer remains stable when spinning.
The two drying programmes will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.
Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:
Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.
Save energy and reduce drying time by ensuring the laundry load has been thoroughly spun before attempting to machine dry.
Environmental Information
Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.
Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.
Important
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly
distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed “Something Not Working” (See pages 31 to 32).

Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the machine is to be transported again.
Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right bolt.
Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed.
Remove the polystyrene base and take off the bottom panel by unscrewing the central screw. Carefully slide out the right polythene bag.
Repeat the operation for the left and central polythene bags. Re-fit the bottom panel using the 4 screws supplied with the door hinges (in the plastic bag) and the previously removed screw.
Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining bolts from the back. Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into which the bolts were fitted. Plug the open holes with the plugs supplied with the instruction booklet.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Your new washer-dryer has been designed to be permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it may be connected to a suitable existing tap with the drain hose discharging into a sink. The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP thread connector. If this connection is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.
Installation on a Suspended Floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Recommendations regarding the construction and fitting of a base when the installation requires an integrated appliance to be raised
Where the appliance has been raised by mounting onto a wooden base provided by the installer. The material used to construct the base should have a non slip surface, be water repellent and if possible be one solid piece. If it is not possible to use one solid piece, due to the additional height required, ensure that any additional strips of timber are glued and screwed to the underside of the base (see Fig. F).

c) Mounting the door
Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of the M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door. To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw again.
d) Counter-magnet (6)
The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of the door. To enable a correct operation of this device, it is necessary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber ring) into the inner side of the door. Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the appliance (See fig. D).
If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert the position of the plates (7), the magnet (4) and the plate (5) (Fig. B and E). Mount the countermagnet (6) and the hinges (1) as previously described.

Water inlet
Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance to connect to the water supply. Do not use previously used hoses for water connection.
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window “A”. Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.
Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
10
Position the base into the recess with its front edge as far forward as the adjoining plinth line will allow.
The reason for placing the base in this position is to allow a small strip of beading to be fitted in front of the appliance feet.
Fix the base firmly to the floor using four appropriate countersunk screws (see Fig. H).
With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring the machine is stable, and a clearance of approximately 5 mm is left between the top of the machine and the underside of the worktop.
A final check for stability should be carried out with the machine on spin with a load, this will identify the need for any further fine adjustment to the feet.
A strip of beading approximately 605 mm W, x 5 mm H, x 25 mm D must be screwed down into the base directly in front of the machine’s feet, this will provide additional security.
If required an additional door magnet, part number 1242394-00/3 and disc, part number 1242393-00/5 are available from spare parts.

Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system using one of the following methods.
1. Into a drainage standpipe.
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the “U” piece” supplied.
Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.
If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly into the standpipe.
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.
Important
Before connecting the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Washing and Drying Hints
Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance.
The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide:
1000g = 1 kg
Sheet 700-1000 g
Pillow case 100-200 g
Tablecloth 400-500 g
Serviette 50-100 g
Tea towel 70-120 g
Linen hand towel 100-150 g
Towelling hand towel 150-250 g
Towelling bath towel 700-1000 g
Bath robe 1000-1500 g
Man’s shirt 200-300 g
Apron 150-200 g
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with small ones.
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may unravel.
Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time.
When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together, always select the lowest temperature.
White items should not be washed with coloured items.
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic washing machines.
Use the correct quantities of detergent.
For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quantities.
Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care and kept out of reach of children.
Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products, which can be found in most household shops. In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special pre­soak product or biological detergent.
If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.
Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too long before drying.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.
If you overdry the laundry, besides wasting energy, any subsequent ironing may become more difficult because the fabric could be heavily crumpled.
Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer’s labels.
May be tumble dried
Drying at high temperature
Drying at reduced temperature
Do not tumble dry
Important!
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
The drum should be empty of laundry.
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the filter
The water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every washing programme.
Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the water manually from the machine at this stage. To do this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out.
C0113
C0114
P0038
P0037
30
Unscrew and remove the filter.
Clean carefully under a fast running tap.
Warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.
P1090
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.

Something Not Working
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre (see page 33 , Service and Spare Parts), please carry out the checks listed below.
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
During machine operation it is possible that the “End” light starts to flash, one of the following alarm codes appears on the display and in the same time the buzzer sounds:
-
EE1100
: problem with the water supply
-
EE2200
: problem with water draining
-
EE4400
: door open
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the “Start/Pause” button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre.

The machine fills then empties immediately
The end of the drain hose is too low.
The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.
There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not empty and/or does not spin
The drain hose may be squashed or kinked. (

Symptom
The door will not open
Solution
The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
The machine is heating the water or drying the laundry.
The drum is turning.
Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin
The electronic balance control device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after few minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
The machine makes an unusual noise
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.
No water is visible in the drum
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.
The machine vibrates when spinning
The internal packing has not been removed.
The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.
The machine is not level and stable (check diagonally).
The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
The machine does not dry or does not dry properly
The drying time or degree of drying has not been selected
The water tap is not turned on (
EE1100
)
The drain filter is clogged (
EE2200
)
The machine is overloaded
The selected drying time or degree of dryness was not suitable for the laundry.
Unsatisfactory washing results
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and causes lime scale to form.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing
The correct wash programme/temperature has not been selected.
Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
