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.

●

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and
the shorter the drying times.

In the interest
of the environment

●

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.

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”.

washer dryer, the door locked light goes off and the
door can be opened.

13

Should it not be possible to open the door, and should
it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine
off by turning the selector dial to “Off”.

After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.

Pay attention to the level and temperature of
the water in the washing machine!

When you close the door to restart the programme
turn the dial to the previous programme repeating the
options previously selected and press “Start/Pause”
button.

13. End of programme

At the end of the programme, the machine stops
automatically and displays a flashing zero.

If the “None” option has been selected, the light of the
“Start/Pause” button flashes, a static zero appears on
the display, the “Rinse hold” pilot light and the door
locked light are on to indicate that the water must be
emptied out before opening the door.

To drain the water or to spin see the paragraphs
“Draining only” or “Draining and spin” on page 10.

The door can only be opened when the door locked
light has gone off.

Release of the lock is also indicated by the illumination
of the “End” light.
Turn the programme selector dial to Reset “Off” to
switch the machine off.

Remove the laundry from the washer dryer.

Check whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to
prevent any items of laundry from remaining
accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged
in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour
into another load of laundry.

We advise you to close the water supply tap and
disconnect the plug from the socket.

Leave the door ajar in order to air the machine.

DRYING 3 KG OF COTTON

You have for example just machine-washed and spun at
1400 rpm 6 kg of laundry.
They are cotton fabrics of medium weight which you
want to iron as soon as they are dry.

Remove the laundry from the appliance and divide the
items to obtain two loads of approx. 3 kg each.

The water tap must be open and the drain hose
must be positioned in the sink or connected to
the drain pipe.

1. Load the laundry.

2. Turn the programme selector dial to the “Drying”
programme for Cottons.

3. If you wish to carry out the electronic drying,
depress “Automatic dry” button until the light
“Iron Dry” illuminates.

If you want a timed drying, depress the “Time dry”
button until the time you want appears on the display
(see page 20).

4. Press the “Start/Pause” button to start the
programme.

6. Remove the laundry.

Note:

The programme time will automatically increase by up
to 1 minute, this is quite normal.

AUTODRYING 2 KG OF SYNTHETICS
Warning! For NON-STOP programmes, it is also

essential not to exceed the maximum load sizes of 3 kg
for cotton and 2 kg for synthetics.

You intend to wash and dry automatically 2 kg of
synthetics which do not need ironing.

Do not use a dosing device/ball when carrying
out a washing & drying programme.

1. Load the laundry.

2. Add detergent and fabric softener.

3. Switch the machine on by turning the selector dial

to a programme for synthetics.

4. Select the wash programme/fabric and temperature.

5. Select the drying time or degree of drying.

6. Select the required options by means of the relevant

buttons. If possible, do not select a spin speed lower
than that proposed by the appliance to avoid a too
long drying time so saving energy.
In any case the reduction of the spin speed is only
possible after selecting drying. The lowest values
you can select are the following:

- 900 r.p.m. for Cottons & Synthetics with electronic

drying

- 900 r.p.m. for Cottons and 700 r.p.m. for

Synthetics with timed drying

7. Start the programme by depressing the
“Start/Pause” button.

8. At the end of the programme turn the programme
selector dial to “Off” to switch the machine off.

10 minutes and at the end of drying (after the cooling
phase).

15

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 (such as Ariel Futur).

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.

Open the filter door and place a container underneath
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.

P0861

P0038

C0114

C0113

21

Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out.

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

P0040

P0859

P0860

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.

●

Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hoses in a bowl. Run the draining programme.

To do this:

●

Switch the machine on

●

Select the “Drain” programme

●

Press “Start/Pause” button

●

Disconnect the appliance .

●

Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.

●

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;

• open the filter;

• place a bowl on the floor under the filter.

• slightly loosen the filter to let the water come out

slowly;

• clean the filter if necessary as previously described;

• screw the filter again and close the door.

22

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, 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 one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:

-

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.

Symptom

The machine does not start

Possible causes

●

The door has not been closed. (

EE4400

)

●

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 depressed.

●

The “Delay start” option has been selected.

The machine does not fill

●

The water tap is closed. (

EE1100

)

●

The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (

EE1100

)

●

The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked. (

EE1100

)

●

The door has not been closed. (

EE4400

)

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. (

EE2200

)

●

The drain filter may be blocked. (

EE2200

)

●

The “None” option has been selected.

●

The drainage system pipes are blocked.

●

The programme “Soak 30°”, which ends with water left in the tub,
has been selected.

●

The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum
to allow the machine to spin.

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 drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.

●

The filter has not been fully screwed in after cleaning.

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.

23

Symptom

The door will not open

Possible causes

●

The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.

●

The machine is heating the water.

●

The drum is turning.

In any case the door can be opened only when the door locked
light has gone out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

P0021

P1088

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.

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
18mm.

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 washing machine by raising or lowering the
feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate
a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and
stable (check diagonally).

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, 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.

Special conditions

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.

Note

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

In the interest of the
environment

Washing machines and dishwashers 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.
