How to dry

  quite hot.
- Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have
  been washed with flammable or chemical  solvents
  (e.g. trichlorethylene).
- Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or
  similar elastomers.
- Make sure that the cold water faucet is turned
on during
  the drying cycles.
- This washer-dryer can only be used to dry clothes
  which have been pre-washed in water.

 torn, fraying

or non-hemmed linen. If it is
absolutely neccessary, place it
in a bag for protection. Do not
wash colored linen with whites.

12 lbs

 (5.5 kg)   maximum

Colored T-shirts

s

, printed ones

and shirts last longer if  turned
inside out before washing.
Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts
should always be ironed inside
out.

 

Denim Alert.

Some overalls have straps with
hooks that can damage the
drum of your washing machine
or other garments during the
wash. To minimize the risk,
place hooks in the pocket and
fasten with safety pins.

 

Vacations: unplug the

appliance.

It is recommended that you
should unplug the machine from
the socket and turn off the water
supply. Leave the door ajar to
allow air circulation to the draw
and the door gasket area. This
will prevent unpleasant odours.

Combined (Wash&Dry)

• Look at table 

A

 to the side

and follow the instructions
provided for 

MAX 

load to have

an 

automatic 

washing and

drying cycle.
• Follow the instructions for

wash only

 (see page 9, the

section "Starting the Washer-
Dryer")
• Set the dryer time on 

Dryer

knob.
• Press the 

Power 

button.

If the laundry load to be
washed and dried exceeds

the maximum load (see table

A

), then:

-

 follow the instructions

provided for 

wash only

 (page

9, in section "Starting the
Washer-Dryer" and follow
these instructions.

-

 

when the wash cycle has

finished, remove your
washing, divide it up and
replace part of it inside the
drum.
Now follow the instructions
provided for a 

dry only

 cycle.

Repeat this procedure for the
remainder of the load.

Dry only

• Load the clothes no more
than 2/3 full (

10 lbs/4.5

 

kg

) for

cottons, (see table for other
fabrics), make sure that:
- the door is shut correctly;
- the plug is inserted in the socket;
- the water tap is turned on;
- Power button has not been
pressed (

O

 position).

• Set the 

Washer 

knob to the

appropriate  

“Reset”

 setting

depending on the type of fabric

• Set dryer time on the 

Dryer

knob

• Press 

Power 

button to start.

When Drying is Complete...

Mode+ Lock light flashes
slowly. Turn the washer-dryer
off by pressing the Power
button (

O

 position). Now you

can open the appliance door.
Once you have removed the
dry clothes from the appliance,
leave the door open or ajar to
avoid the formation of bad
odors and turn off the water (if
attached with a faucet adapter
kit.)

The data contained in the table are purely indicative.

The drying time depends largely on the type of material (some
fibers absorb more water than others), on the  dampness of the
articles when the drying is started and on the amount of the
laundry. Table napkins, towels and similar (rather thick) articles
will take a long time to dry.

For best results, we
recommend you use very
little detergent, taking care
not to wash more than 

2 lbs

(1kg) of laundry.

WOOL CYCLE

A combined Washing and Drying Program

For more delicate

garments:

protect underwear,

tights and stockings

and delicate items by

placing them in a

separate bag

For cotton loads of less than  2 lbs (1 Kg), use the drying
program designed for synthetic fabrics.

A spin cycle is carried out during the drying if you have
set a 

cotton program

 .
