synthetic fabrics.
Time Saver
enables you to wash in less time thereby
saving water and electricity. We suggest using a liquid detergent suitably
measured out to the load quantity.
1/2 Spin
Press this button to reduce the spin speed.
Intensive 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.
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 the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the delay time
can only be modified by decreasing it until launching the set programme.
Temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see Wash
Cycle Table).
The temperature may be lowered, or even set to a cold wash .
The washer-dryer will automatically prevent you from selecting a
temperature which is higher than the maximum value set for each wash
cycle.
Drying cycle
Turn the DRYING knob to select the desired drying option. There are two
options:
A
- Based on time: From
40
minutes to
180
.
B
- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron dry
: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases,
making them easier to remove.
Hanger
dry
: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard
dry
: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a
cupboard without being ironed.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater 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.
Drying only
Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle (
11-12
) in accordance
with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or time may also be set
using the DRYING knob.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, 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.
Follow the dosage recommendation / additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent
in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent.
Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are
generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes
Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the
“Wash Cycle Table” table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed
in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining
moisture content.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washer-dryer off
and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use flammable liquids to
clean the washer-dryer. Clean and maintain your washer-dryer periodically
(at least 4 times per year).
Disconnect the water and power 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.
Clean 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.
Clean the detergent dispenser drawer
Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated
frequently.
Care for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming.
Clean the pump
The washer-dryer is fitted with a auto-cleaning pump that does not
require any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may
sometimes fall into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the
pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. remove the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it
in the centre then pushing downwards on both sides to extract it;
2. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is
normal for some water to leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cover back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before
pushing the panel onto the appliance.
Check the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it
must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water
could suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
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 filling 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
“Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.
