Quick guide

1. 

Installation and removal (p. 11)

Installation, after delivery or transport, is the most important operation
for the correct functioning of your washer-dryer. Always check:
1. That the electric system conforms to regulations;
2. That the inlet and draining pipes are connected correctly.

Never use hoses that have already been used, always use
the new ones provided with your machine.

3. That the washer-dryer is levelled properly; something worth

checking to aid the performance of your washer-dryer;

4. That the drum's fixing screws have been removed from

the  back of the washer-dryer;

2.

What goes in your washer-dryer and how to

start it (p. 2)

A correct distribution of your laundry is vital to the successful
outcome of the wash and the life of the washer-dryer. Learn all the

Guide to understanding labels (p. 6)

The symbols on the labels of your garments are easy to understand

ture, wash cycles and ironing methods.

Useful tips to avoid mistakes (p. 7)

Years back, our grandmothers were the ones who gave us good
advice - and in those days synthetic fibres did not exist: washing
was easy. Today, your washer-dryer offers you helpful advice
allowing you to wash wool even better than an expert laundress
would by hand.

essential buttons to help you choose any type of wash cycle,
ranging from the most energetic, capable of cleaning a mechanic’s
overalls, to the most delicate for wool. Familiarising yourself with it
will help you get the best out of your wash while helping your
washer-dryer last longer. It’s easy.
