Compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener must not exceed the “MAX” level.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-washing, and

for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

WASH CYCLES

Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash
care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum
recommended temperature for washing the garment.

Anti-Stain

the programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours.
It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class).
When running the programme, do not mix garments of dierent colours.
We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special
additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.

Anti-Stain Quick

this programme is ideal for washing the most dicult daily stains in 1 hour. It is
ideal for mixed fabrics and coloured garments, caring for your clothes as it washes.
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at
the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added
advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible
presence of dust in the air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a level
basis. Dryness level “A2” recommended.

Whites

use this cycle to wash white clothes. The programme is designed to maintain
the brightness of white clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best
results.
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automatically activates at the
end of the wash cycle that resembles open-air drying, with the added
advantages of preserving garments from yellowing due to sunlight exposure
and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the possible presence of dust in
the air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a level basis.

Cotton

Suitable for washing towels, underwear, table cloths, etc. made of
resistant linen and cotton that are moderately to heavily soiled.

Eco Cotton

Suitable for washing moderately soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and
60°C it is the standard cycle for washing cotton garments, and is the most

ecient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.

Synthetics

Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic bres
(e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton bres.

Anti Allergy

use programme to remove major allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s
and dog’s hair.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
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. (M1318)

Delicates

use programme to wash very delicate garments having strasses or
sequins.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and
placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates. Use liquid
detergent on delicate garments for best results.
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function, a drying cycle
is performed at the end of the wash cycle that is particularly delicate,
thanks to light handling and appropriate temperature control of the
water jet.
The recommended durations are:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric composition.

To wash silk garments and curtains: select the cycle 9 and set the
“Delicate” level from option .

relevant compartments, as described in the “DETERGENT DISPENSER
DRAWER” section.

- Close the door.

- The machine automatically displays the maximum temperature and spin
speed values set for the selected cycle, or the most recently-used settings
if they are compatible with the selected cycle. The temperature can be
decreased by pressing the button, until the cold wash “OFF” setting is
reached. The spin speed may be progressively reduced by pressing the
button, until it is completely excluded (the “OFF” setting). If these buttons
are pressed again, the maximum values are restored.

- Select the desired wash cycle.

- Select the desired options.

- Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle; the relative
indicator light will light up steady green and the door will lock ( symbol
on).

PAUSING A CYCLE

To pause the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button again; the
indicator light will ash amber. To start the wash cycle from the point at
which it was interrupted, press the START/PAUSE button again.

OPENING THE DOOR, IF NECESSARY

Once a cycle starts, the symbol turns on to signal that the door cannot
be opened. While a wash cycle is running, the door remains locked. To
open the door while a cycle is under way, for example, to add or remove
garments, press the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle; the
indicator light will ash amber. If the symbol is not lit, the door may be
opened. Press the START/PAUSE button again to continue the cycle.

CHANGING A RUNNING WASH CYCLE

To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washer-dryer
using the START/PAUSE button (the relative indicator light will ash
amber), then select the desired cycle and press the START/PAUSE
button again.
! To cancel a cycle that has already begun, press and hold the ON/OFF
button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch o.

AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE

This will be indicated by the word “END” on the display; when the
symbol switches o, the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the
laundry and switch o the machine. If you do not press ON/OFF button,
the washer-dryer will switch o automatically after about a half of an hour.

OPTIONS

- If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the
indicator light will ash and the option will not be activated.

- If the selected option is not compatible with a previously selected
one, the indicator light corresponding to the rst function selected will
ash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light
for the option which has been activated will be illuminated.

Eco

The Eco option saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your
laundry – an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill.
Instead, intensied wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash
results in the same average time of a standard cycle. For the best washing
results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
By selecting the drying function as well, an automatic drying cycle
automatically activates at the end of the wash cycle – it too allows for
saving energy, thanks to the optimal combination of air temperature and
cycle duration.

Delay Timer
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding
button repeatedly until the required delay period has been reached.
When this option is enabled, the corresponding indicator light will remain
lit. To remove the delayed start setting, press the button until the text
“OFF” appears on the display.

Temperature

Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the
temperature, press the button. The value will appear on the display.

Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,
press the button. The value will appear on the display.

Dry
The rst time the button is pressed, the machine will automatically
select the maximum drying cycle which is compatible with the selected
wash cycle. Subsequent presses will decrease the drying level and then
the drying time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”).
Drying may be set as follows:

A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron “A1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the

remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.

Hanger “A2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard “A3”: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard

without being ironed.
Extra “A4”: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely,
such as sponges and bathrobes.
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the
maximum stated load, perform the wash cycle, and when the cycle is
complete, divide the garments into groups and put some of them back in
the drum. At this point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying
only” cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.
A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.

Dry Only
Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle (12-13-14) in
accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or time may
also be set using the DRY button .
Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme selector
knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an automatic drying cycle
that allows for saving energy, thanks to an optimal combination of air
temperature and cycle duration; the display will visualise the “A2” dryness
level.

Cleaning action

Option makes it possible to optimise washing based on the level of
soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle intensity.
Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically set to
“Normal” as optimised for garments with an average level of soil (this
setting is not applicable to the “Wool” cycle, which is automatically set to
“Delicate”).
For heavily-soiled garments press button until the “Intensive”
level is reached. This level ensures a high-performance wash due to a
larger quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle and due to
increased drum rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn
stains.
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment of the fabrics,
press button until the “Delicate” level is reached.
The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure washing results that are
perfect for delicate garments.

KEY LOCK

To activate the control panel lock, press and hold the “KEY LOCK” button
for approximately 2 seconds. When the “KEY LOCK” symbol is lit, the
control panel is locked (except for the ON/OFF button). This will
prevent accidental modications to wash cycles, especially when children
are at home. To deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the “KEY
LOCK” button for approximately 2 seconds.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to:

Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a
fabric bag).

Empty the pockets:

Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washer-dryer and the
drum. Check all buttons.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washer-dryer o
and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to
clean the washer-dryer.

Cutting o the water and electricity supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. 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.
The washer-dryer has a “Auto-Cleaning” cycle for its internal parts; it
must be run without any load in the drum.
To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the
quantity specied for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to
clean the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every
40 wash cycles.
To start the programme press button for 5 seconds.
The programme will start automatically and will run for about 70
minutes.
Caring for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant
odours from forming.

LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every
spin 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.

ACCESSORIES

Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following
accessories are available for this washer-dryer model.

Stacking kit

With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of
your washer-dryer to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of
the tumble dryer.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Do not lift the washer-dryer by gripping it from the upper section.

Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and
detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose
from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water
remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get
damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in
reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the
“Installation instructions”.
