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).

Positioning

P0020

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.

Preparation and assembly of the door

The machine is originally pre-arranged for the assembly of a door opening from right to left.

In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges (1) and the counter-magnet (6) provided with the appliance, at the right level (Fig. B).

b) Hinges

To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes (dia. 35 mm, depth 12.5-14 mm depending on the depth of door furniture) on the inner side of the door. The distance between the holes hobs fixing centres must be 416 mm.

The distance (B) from upper edge of the door to the centre of the hole depends on the adjacent furniture's dimensions.

The required dimensions are given in the picture C. The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood (2-Fig. B) supplied with the appliance.

8

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).

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).

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 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.

A

P0352

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.
