ndicated on the Technical details table  
(see page 5);  
GB  
Connect the drain hose,  
without bending it, to a  
draining duct or a wall  
drain situated between  
65 and 100 cm from  
the floor;  
• the socket is compatible with the washing  
machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace  
the socket or the plug.  
65 - 100 cm  
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused  
plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for  
immediate use. Before using the appliance please  
read the instructions below.  
The drain hose may be

connecting the drain  
hose from the machine  
ensure that any blanks  
or removable ends  
have been taken off  
the spigot.  
Replacing the fuse:  
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA  
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used,  
and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost,  
the plug must not be used until a replacement is  
obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:  
If it is place over the  
edge of a basin or sink  
be sure the free end of  
the hose should not be  
underwater.  
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the  
correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking  
or the colour that is embossed in words on the base  
of the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly  
from your nearest Service Depot.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug  
and you should wish to re-route the mains cable  
through partitions, units etc., please ensure that  
either:  
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-  
wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.  
or:  
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable  
outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS  
5733) which is accessible without moving the  
appliance.  
! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in  
case of absolute need, the extension must have the  
same diameter as the original hose and must not  
exceed 150 cm in length.  
Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a  
standpipe, that the end does not go down more  
than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down  
too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon  
ie. continuously empty as it is filling.  
Disposing of the plug:  
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you  
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be  
accidentally inserted into a socket.  
Electric connection  
Before plugging the appliance into the mains  
socket, make sure that:

Detergents and laundry  
Detergent dispenser drawer  
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow  
case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 6.  
GB  
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.  
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and  
use a liquid detergent. Use programme 7.  
Sport Intensive (wash cycle 8) is for washing heavily  
soiled sports clothing fabrics (tracksuits, shorts, etc.);  
for best results, we recommend not exceeding the  
maximum load indicated in the "Table of wash

Sport Shoes (wash cycle 10): is for washing sports  
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2  
pairs simultaneously.  
Express Wash & Dry (wash cycle 13) was designed  
to wash and dry lightly soiled garments quickly. This  
cycle may be used to wash and dry a laundry load of  
up to 0.5 kg in just 35 minutes.  
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and  
pre-treat cuffs, collars and stains.  
compartment 1: Pre-wash detergent (powder)  
compartment 2: 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 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)  
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.  
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.  
Preparing the laundry  
• Divide the laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label  
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.  
• Empty all garment pockets and check the buttons.  
• Do not exceed the listed values, which refer to the  
weight of the laundry when dry:  
Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg  
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg  
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg  
Wool: max. 1,5 kg  
Silk: max. 1 kg  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
1 sheet 400-500 g  
1 pillow case 150-200 g  
1 tablecloth 400-500 g  
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
Special wash cycles  
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using  
programme 5, even those carrying the "hand-wash  
only"  
label. For best results, use special  
detergents and do not exceed 1,5 kg of laundry.  
Silk: use special wash cycle 6 to wash all silk  
garments. We recommend the use of special  
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate  
clothes.

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.  
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.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug  
the appliance.  
Cleaning the Washer-dryer  
To access the pre-chamber:  
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.  
1. using a screwdriver,  
remove the cover panel  
on the lower front part of  
the Washer-dryer (see  
figure);  
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.  
2. unscrew the lid by  
rotating it anti-clockwise  
(see figure): a little water  
may trickle out. This is  
perfectly normal;  
Caring for the door and drum of your  
appliance  
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to  
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.  
3. clean the inside thoroughly;  
4. screw the lid back on;  
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are  
securely in place before you push it onto the  
appliance.  
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.
