BEFORE USING THE WASHER-DRYER
Home
Appliances
1.Removing the packaging and inspection
• After unpacking, make sure that the washer-
dryer is undamaged. If in doubt do not use the
washer-dryer. Contact After-Sales Service or your
local retailer.
• Keep the packaging material (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of the reach of
children, as they are potentially dangerous.
2.Removing the transit bolts
• The washer-dryer is fitted with transit bolts to
prevent internal damage during transport.
Before using the washer-dryer you must
remove the transit bolts (see “Installation/
Removal of the transit bolts”).
3.Installation of the washer-dryer
• Move the washer-dryer without carrying it by the
worktop.
• Install the washer-dryer on a solid and level
floor surface, preferably in a corner of the room.
• Make sure that all four feet are stable and
resting on the floor and then check that the
washer-dryer is perfectly level using a spirit level
(see “Installation/Adjusting the feet”).
4.Water supply
• Connect the water supply inlet hose in
accordance with the regulations of your local
water company (see “Installation/Connecting
the water inlet hose”).
• Supply: Cold water only
• Tap: 3/4” threaded

(0.5-10 bar).
5.Drain
• Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it
over the edge of a sink with the “U” bend
(see “Installation/Connecting the water drain
hose”).
• If the washer-dryer is connected to a built-in
drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped
with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and
draining of water in the washer-dryer
(siphoning effect).
6.Electrical Connection
• Electrical connections must be carried out by a
qualified technician in compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions and current standard
safety regulations.
• Voltage information, power consumption and
electrical protection data are supplied on the

the directions.

• Before any maintenance work on the appliance
disconnect it from the mains supply.
• After installation, access to the mains plug or
disconnection from the mains supply must be
ensured at all times via a double-pole switch.
• Do not operate the washer-dryer if it has been
damaged during transport. Inform After-Sales
Service.
• Mains cables replacement is only to be carried
out by After-Sales Service.

FIRST WASH CYCLE
This initial cycle without laundry serves to eliminate any water remaining after your appliance was
tested at the factory.
1.Open the water tap.
2.Close the door.
3.Pour a small amount of detergent (about 30 ml) into the detergent dispenser .
4.Select a short programme (see programme chart).
5.Press the “On/Off” button.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Packing
• The packaging material is recyclable as indicated
by the recycling symbol . Adhere to local
regulations when disposing of packing material.
2.Energy saving tips
• To obtain the best use of energy, water,
detergent and time, use the recommended
maximum load size for the selected programme.
• Do not exceed manufacturers’ recommended
dosages as shown on the detergent package.
• Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only!
Save detergent, time, water and energy
consumption by not selecting “Prewash” for
slight to normally soiled laundry. You save on
water, energy and time as a result.
• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried
in stains in water before washing in the washerdryer, this reduces the necessity of a hot water
programme.
• Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 90° C
wash programme or a 40° C instead of a 60° C
wash programme.
• Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry
before using the dryer (for machines with
adjustable spin speed).
3.Disposing of packing and old appliances
• The washer-dryer is manufactured from
recyclable materials. Dispose of the appliance in
conformity with local waste disposal
regulations.
• Before scrapping, cut off the power cable so that
it cannot be connected to the mains.
• Remove detergent from the dispenser if you
intend to scrap your washer-dryer.
4.Child safety
• Children must not be allowed to play with the
washer-dryer.
5.General recommendations
• When the washer-dryer is not in use unplug it
and turn off the water tap.
• Prior to cleaning and maintenance switch off the
washer-dryer and disconnect it from the mains.
• To clean the outside of the washer-dryer, use a
neutral detergent and a damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive detergents.
• Do not attempt to force the door open.
• If necessary, the power cable may be replaced
with an identical one obtained from our AfterSales Service. The power cable must only be
replaced by a qualified technician.
