Installation
GB
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for
future reference. If the washer dryer is sold, transferred or
moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with
the machine so that the new owner is able to familiarise
himself/herself with its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the
appliance.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Remove the washer dryer from its packaging.
2. Make sure that the washer dryer has not been damaged
during the transportation process. If it has been damaged,
contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the
installation process.
3. Remove the 4 protective
screws (used during transportation) and the rubber
washer with the corresponding spacer, located on the
rear part of the appliance
(see figure).
Connecting the electricity and water
supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply pipe
by screwing it to a cold water
tab using a ¾ gas threaded
connection (see figure).
Before performing the connection, allow the water to
run freely until it is perfectly
clear.
2. Connect the inlet hose to
the washer dryer by screwing
it onto the corresponding
water inlet of the appliance,
which is situated on the top
right-hand side of the rear
part of the appliance (see figure).
4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will need them again
if the washer dryer needs to be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.
Levelling
1. Install the washer dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without resting
it up against walls, furniture cabinets or anything else.
2. If the floor is not perfectly
level, compensate for any
unevenness by tightening
or loosening the adjustable
front feet (see figure); the an-
gle of inclination, measured
in relation to the worktop,
must not exceed 2°.
Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with
stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive noise and prevent it from shifting while
it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the
feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space
underneath the washer dryer.
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values
indicated in the Technical details table (see next page).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised
shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Mounting the wooden panel onto the door and inserting the machine into cabinets:
In the case where the machine must be shipped for final
installation after the wooden panel has been mounted, we
suggest leaving it in its original packaging. The packaging
was designed to make it possible to mount the wooden
panel onto the machine without removing it completely (see
figures below).
The wooden panel that covers the face of the machine must
not be less than 18 mm in thickness and can be hinged on
either the right or left. For the sake of practicality when using
the machine, we recommend that the panel be hinged on
the same side as the door for the machine itself - the left.

panel using the lines traced on the extremities as a reference.
- To trace the positions of the holes on the right-hand side
of the panel, align the drilling template to the top right side
of the panel.
- Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for the two
hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.
Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door).
- Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part of the hinge
must be positioned facing away from the panel) and fasten them
with the 4 type A screws.
- Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side of
the hinges and fasten it with the two type B screws.
- Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.
The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.
Mounting the Panel into the machine.
Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in fig. 2) into
the hole for the hinge and push the panel towards the front of
the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type D screws.
Fastening the plinth guide.
If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular cabinets, mount either one or both of the guides for the base
molding (as shown in fig. 8). Adjust them for depth based on
the position of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten
the base to the guides (fig. 9).
This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8):
Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into the
special slot and once it is in the desired position, lock it in place
using angle P and screw R.
Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.
- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the
cabinets (fig. 6).
- Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the
appropriate height.
- To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the

Stain removal
This function is particularly
useful for the removal of
stubborn stains. Place extra
compartment 3 (supplied)
into compartment 1. When
pouring in the bleach, be
careful not to exceed the
“max” level marked on the
central pivot (see figure).
To run the bleach cycle on its
own, pour the bleach into extra

removal” programme. To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the
detergent and any fabric softener you wish to use, set the desired
wash cycle and enable the “Stain removal” function.
Extra rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is increased
and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly
useful for sensitive skin.
Easy iron
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be
modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the
end of the cycle the washer dryer will perform slow rotations
of the drum; the EASY IRON indicator light will switch on, the
START/PAUSE indicator light will flash in an orange colour
and the text “END OF CYCLE” will appear on the display. To
end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button or the EASY
IRON button. For the Silk/Curtains cycle, the machine will
end the cycle while the laundry is soaking; the EASY IRON
indicator light will switch on, the START/PAUSE indicator
light will flash in an orange colour and the text “STOP WITH
WATER” will appear on the display. To drain the water so
that the laundry may be removed, press the START/PAUSE
button or the EASY IRON button.
Note: If you also want to run the drying cycle, this button is
enabled only if combined with level “Iron Dry”.
Mini load
This function is recommended for when the load of laundry is
equal to half, or less than half, of the maximum recommended
load (see Table of wash cycles).

Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Open the detergent di-
spenser drawer and pour
in the detergent or washing
additive, as follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately
prior to the start of the wash cycle.
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
extra compartment 3: Bleach
Silk: use special wash cycle to wash all silk garments.
We recommend the use of special detergent which has been
designed to wash delicate clothes.
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Use wash cycle .
Wool: the wool wash cycle of this machine has been
approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of
wool garments labelled as “hand wash” provided that the
products are washed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this
washing machine (M1126)
Load balancing system
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the
washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load
is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced
spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the
washer dryer performs the distribution process instead of
spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed
in the load.
GB
Preparing the laundry
• Divide the laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites

Precautions and tips
GB
! This Washer-dryer was designed and constructed in
accordance with international safety regulations. The following information is provided for safety reasons and must
therefore be read carefully.
General safety
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
– Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
– Items that have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent
before being dried in the tumble dryer.
– Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes
or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be
dried in the tumble dryer.
– Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used
as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
– The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left
at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be
damaged.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end
of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed
and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or
damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug
and pull.
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extre-
mely high temperatures.
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the
safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental
opening.
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-
stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt
to repair it yourself.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while
it is operating.
• If it must be moved, proceed with the help of two or th-
ree people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try
to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.
• Before loading laundry into the washer dryer, make sure
the drum is empty.
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get
quite hot.
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have
been washed with flammable solvents (e.g.
trichlorethylene).
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or
similar elastomers.
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during
the drying cycles.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that
old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce
the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.

Care and maintenance
1
2
Cutting off the water and electricity supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit
wear on the hydraulic system inside the washer dryer and
help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washer dryer when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Cleaning the washer dryer
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance
can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy
water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser by
raising it and pulling it out
(see figure).
Wash it under running water;
this operation should be repeated frequently.
Cleaning the pump
The washer dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which
does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items
(such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the
appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. unscrew the lid by rotating
it anti-clockwise (seefigure):
a little water may trickle out.
This is perfectly normal;
2. clean the inside thoroughly;
3. screw the lid back on;
GB
Caring for the door and drum of your
appliance
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any
cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash
cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose
could easily split open.
! Never use second-hand hoses.

Troubleshooting
GB
Your washer dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that
the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.
Problem:
The washer dryer does not switch
on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The washer dryer does not take in
water (the text “NO WATER, CHECK
SUPPLY” appears
on the display).
The washer dryer continuously
takes in and
drains water.
The washer dryer does not drain or
spin.
The washer dryer vibrates a lot
during the spin cycle.
The washer dryer leaks.
The machine is locked and the display
flashes, indicating an
error code (e.g. F-01, F-..).
There is too much foam.
The washer-dryer does not dry.
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.
• There is no power in the house.
• The washer dryer door is not closed properly.
• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The water tap has not been opened.
• A delayed start has been set (see “How to run a wash cycle or a drying cycle”).
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
• The hose is bent.
• The water tap has not been opened.
• There is no water supply in the house.
• The pressure is too low.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.
• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor
(see “Installation”).
• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).
• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch
the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of
the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,
causing the washer dryer to fill with water and drain continuously. Special antidraining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.
• The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the drain
phase to be started manually (see “Wash cycles and functions”).
• The EASY IRON function has been activated: To complete the wash cycle,
press the START/PAUSE button (see “Wash cycles and functions”).
• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).
• The drainage duct is clogged.
• The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).
• The washer dryer is not level (see “Installation”).
• The washer dryer is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).
• The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).
• The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see “Care and maintenance”).
• The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then
switch it back on again.
If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text
“for washer dryers” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).
• Too much detergent was used.
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.
• There has been a power failure.
• The appliance door is not shut properly.
• A delayed start has been set.
• DRYING is in the OFF position.
