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

hose connector

(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 inside of the filter cover.

• Before any maintenance work on the appliance

disconnect it from the mains supply.

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.

constructed and distributed in compliance with the safety regulations of EC Directives: 73/23/EEC Low Voltage Directive 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 93/68/EC CE Marking Directive.
