●

Do not overload the appliance. See relevant section in
the instruction book.

●

Only wash and dry fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed and dried. If in doubt, consult the
care label on the clothes.

●

Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and
buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or
torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust,
and grass before washing. Underwired bras must
NOT be machine washed.

●

Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws,
stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause
extensive damage and must not be placed into the
machine.

●

Garments which have been in contact with volatile
petroleum products should not be machine washed. If
volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken
to ensure that the fluid is removed from the garment
before placing in the machine.

●

Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts
etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for
such items to slip down between the tub and the
inner drum.

●

Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener.
Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer

chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid.These are of a
volatile nature and could cause an explosion.
Only tumble dry items which have been washed in
water or require airing.

●

Plastic detergent dispensers should not remain in the
drum during the drying cycle, as the plastic used is not
designed to withstand the heat. If you wish to wash­through-to-dry you should use the conventional
detergent dispenser drawer.

●

Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes
to preserve the door seal.

●

Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair
the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force
Force Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

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”.

Spin speed

The following speeds are available for the different
fabrics:

• Cottons, linen:
700/900/1200 max 1400 r.p.m.;

• Synthetics and wool:

door locked light illuminate and a static zero will
appear on the display to indicate that the water must
be drained.
To complete the cycle, choose one of the following
options:

• Select programme “Drain” and then depress the

“Start/Pause” button:
The water is emptied out without spinning.

Attention! Before selecting programme “Drain” the
selector dial has to be positioned on Off (cancelling).

• Depress “Start/Pause” button: after emptying,

the machine performs the spin cycle corresponding
to the type of fabric previously selected.

• Turn the programme selector dial to “Off”, select

the programme “Spin”, reduce eventually the spin
speed by means of the relevant button and then
depress the “Start/Pause” button.

The “None” option cannot be selected for the
automatic WASHING & DRYING programme.

4 “Option” buttons

Depending on the programme, different functions can
be combined. These must be selected after choosing
the desired programme and before depressing the
“”Start/Pause” button.

When these buttons are pressed, the corresponding
pilot lights illuminate. When they are pressed again, the
pilot lights go out.
If an incorrect option is selected, the pilot lights flash
for about 2 seconds and the message Err is displayed.
Press these buttons to select the following options:

• “Prewash”: select this option if you wish your
laundry to be prewashed before the main wash (not
available for Wool and “30 Minute wash” and not
recommended with the programme Duvet 40°).
The prewash cycle ends with a short spin at 650 rpm
in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics,
whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the
water is only drained. This option can be selected for
heavily soiled laundry.

• “Quick”: select this option for laundry that is only

slightly soiled in order to obtain a good wash result in
a short time.
This option is not available with the Wool
programmes, the Energy saving programmes
“Economy” and “30 Minute wash”.
The washing time will be reduced according to the
type of fabric and the selected temperature.

• “Extra rinse”: this option can be selected with all

programmes, except the wool programmes and “30
Minute wash”. The machine performs 4 rinses
instead of 3.
This option is recommended for people who are
allergic to detergents, and areas where the water is
very soft.
