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 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 drying programme will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

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”.

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.

Environmental information

●

After unpacking please dispose of packaging with
due regard to safety and the environment.

●

Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

●

Check with your local Council to see if there are
facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.

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
appliances.

●

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.

Label must be tested dividing the maximum washing load by two equal parts and drying with a timed drying
(drying time button) each of them.

Attention!

The different type of cottons (towelling, sheets, shirts, and so on) or any laundry items rolling up during the spinning
phase may cause an uneven dryness. In the exceptional case that at the end of the cycle the laundry remains slightly
wet, we suggest that you strech the rolled up items, redistribute them evenly in the drum and select an additional
drying cycle of 20-30 minutes.

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 pump

The pump should be inspected if

• The machine does not empty and/or spin

• The machine makes an unusual noise during draining
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump.

Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the appliance.

• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

• Place a container close to the pump (A) to collect
any spillage.

• Pull out the emergency emptying hose (B), place it in
the container and remove its cap.

BI0002

BI0001

B

A

P0038

C0114

C0113

• When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry
up spillage of water when removing the cover.

• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by

rotating it.

• Refit the cap on the emergency emptying hose and
place the latter back in its seat.

• Screw the pump cover fully in.

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.

BI0006

BI0005

BI0003

Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.

●

Turn off the water tap.

●

Unscrew the inlet hose.

●

Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and
that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor
and let water drain out.

●

Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition
the emergency emptying hose after having put the
cap on again.

●

When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:

• Pull out the plug from the power socket;

• Close the water tap;

• If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• Place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the
emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its
cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, refit the cap on the hose.
Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;

• Clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

• Replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after
having plugged it;

• Screw the pump cover again.

Something Not Working

Please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force agent.
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 red Start/Pause pilot light flashes, one of the following alarm
codes appears on the display and some acoustic signals sound to indicate that the machine is not working:

-

E10 : problem with the water supply

-

E20 : problem with water draining

-

E40 : 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.

Symptom

The machine does not start

Solution

●

The door has not been closed. (E40 )

●

The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.

●

There is no supply at the socket.

●

The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.

●

The Start/Pause button has not been pressed.

●

The Delay start option has been selected.

●

The Child lock option has been enabled.

The machine does not fill

●

The water tap is closed. (E10)

●

The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (E10)

●

The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked. (E10)

●

The door has not been closed. (E40 )

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. (E20)

●

The Rinse hold option has been selected.

●

The drain pump may be blocked. (E20)

●

The None option has been selected

●

The drainage system pipes are blocked.

●

An option which make the programme to end with water left in the
tub, has been selected.

There is water on the floor

●

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates
too much foam).

●

Check whether there are any leaks from the inlet hose fittings. It is not
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see
if it is damp.

●

The inlet or drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.

●

The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced after
cleaning the filter.

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.

20

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.

●

The Door lock light is still on.

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 load is too small. Add more items, redistribute the load manually
and then select the spinning 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 (E10)

●

The drain filter is clogged (E20)

●

The machine is overloaded

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.

If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to
prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base
should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of
the machine.

Warning

The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile

carpeting.

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
boards with screws. If possible install the appliance in
one of the corners of the room, where the floor is
more stable.

Note

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.

Plumbing in

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

BI0013

23

plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing
must be carried out by a competent person, or
qualified plumber.

Water inlet

The inlet hose is screwed on the back of the appliance.

Important!
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the
hose to the left or right depending on the position of
your water tap.

1.

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.

The appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.

2 Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. The

inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short
and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have
to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for
this type of use.

Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.

A minimum water pressure of 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 vertical distance of 5.02m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom
of the water storage tank.

P1088

HEC0025

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 appliance.

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.

Levelling

Level the appliance by raising or lowering the feet. The
feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self

P1198

Loop

P1197

P1212

locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.

After having levelled the machine, tighten the lock nuts.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.

Accurate levelling prevents vibration, (see note on
positioning), noise and displacement of the machine
during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.

In the interest of the environment

The appliances should be connected to the FOUL
drainage system, the water will then be taken to a
sewage works for treatment before being discharged
safely into a river.

It is essential that these appliances are not connected
to the surface water drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or stream and may
cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your
local water authority.

Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of
safely. Should the appliance power supply
cable neeed to be replaced, this must be
carried out by our Service Force Centre.

The power supply cable must be easily
accessible after installing the appliance.

Important

Should the appliance power supply cable need to be
replaced, this must be carried out by a Service Force
Agent (see page 27).

Permanent connection

In the case of permanent connection it is necessary
that you install a double pole switch between the
appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a
minimum gap of 3mm between the switch contacts and
of a type suitable for the required load in compliance
with the current electrical regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth

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).

a) Door

The dimensions of the door should be:

- width: 595-598 mm

- thickness: 16-22 mm
The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of the
adjacent furniture's base.

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.

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.

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).

Repairs - After sales service

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.

Drill four fixing holes see Fig. G

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
