Instructions for the fitter Door Mounting Accessories (Fig. 1-2-3-4-5).

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 ori-
ginal packaging. The packaging was designed
to make it possible to mount the wooden panel
onto the machine without removing it completely
(see figures below). N° 2 Hinge Supports N° 2 Hinges
The wooden panel that covers the face of Fig. 1 Fig. 2
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.

Mounting the Parts onto the Face of the

Machine.
- Fit the hinge supports to the appliance front
panel, positioning the hole marked with an arrow
in fig. 1 so that it is on the inner side of the front
panel. Fit a spacer (fig. 4/B) between the surfa-
ces using type C screws.

- Fit the magnet plate at the top of the opposite
side, using type B screws to fix two spacers (fig.
E 4/B) between the plate and the surface.

 Using the Drilling Template.
- To trace the positions of the holes on the left- GB
hand side of the panel, align the drilling template
to the top left side of the 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.

Caring for the door and drum of

your appliance
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washer dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump which does not require any maintenan-
ce. 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.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary accor-
ding to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.

For all Test Institutes:

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 60°C.
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C.

Specials wash cycles

Sanitizing cycle (wash cycle 6). A high-temperature hygienic wash cycle (over 60°C) which requires the use of bleach. Pour
the bleach, the detergent and the additives into the relevant compartments (see paragraph entitled “Detergent dispenser
drawer”).
Goodnigt cycle (wash cycle 7). This is a silent cycle which can be run at night, when the electricity prices are lower. The
wash cycle is designed for cottons and synthetics. At the end of the cycle the machine stops while there is still water in the
drum; to spin and drain the laundry press the START/PAUSE button; alternatively the machine will perform the spin cycle and
drain the water automatically after 8 hours.
Baby cycle (wash cycle 8). This wash cycle can be used to remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while ensuring
that all detergent is removed from nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of babies from suffering allergies. The cycle
has been designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using a greater quantity of water and optimising the effect of special
disinfecting additives added to the detergent.
At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly rotate the drum to prevent the formation of creases; to end the cycle press
the START/PAUSE button.
Mix 30’(wash cycle 4) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 30 minutes and
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (5 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together
(except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 3 kg.
Mix 15’(wash cycle 5) this wash cycle was designed to wash lightly soiled garments quickly: it lasts just 15 minutes and
therefore saves both energy and time. By selecting this wash cycle (5 at 30°C), it is possible to wash different fabrics together
(except for wool and silk items), with a maximum load of 1.5 kg.

than the maximum stated load (see adjacent table), 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.
N.B: When the drying is complete there is a cooling period, even though the DRYING knob is in the position.
Drying only
Turn the WASH CYCLE knob to one of the drying settings (11-12-13) according to the type of fabric, then select the desired
drying duration using the DRYING knob.

Functions
The various wash functions available with this washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the
selected wash cycle.

Delay timer
This timer delays the start time of the wash cycle by up to 9 hours.
Press the button repeatedly until the indicator light corresponding to the desired delay time switches on. The fifth time the button
is pressed, the function will be disabled.
N.B. Once you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the delay time may only be decreased if you wish to modify it.
! This option is enabled with all programmes.

Extra rinse
By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly
useful for sensitive skin.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, B, C.

Super Wash
Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased cycle duration, this
function offers a high-performance wash.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, A, B, C.

1200-600
By selecting this function, reduces the spin speed.
