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.

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:
! 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.
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.
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:

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.
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.
Selecting this option enables you to suitably adjust drum rotation, temperature and water to a reduced load of lightly
soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics (refer to the "Table of wash cycles" ). “ ” 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.

Detergents and laundry
Detergent dispenser drawer
Silk: use special wash cycle 6 to wash all silk
GB
garments. We recommend the use of special
detergent which has been designed to wash delicate
clothes.
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.
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 6.
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and
use a liquid detergent. Use programme 7.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
create too much foam.
Load balancing system
Open the detergent
dispenser drawer and
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.

! Do not pour detergent into the compartment 1.
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 2.
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.
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. 6 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max. 2,5 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
Garments requiring special care
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.

Precautions and tips
! This Washer-dryer was designed and constructed in
accordance with international safety regulations. The
following information is provided for safety reasons
and must therefore be read carefully.
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
GB
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group
of two or three people and handle it with the utmost
care. Never try to do this alone, because the
appliance is very heavy.
General safety
• Before loading laundry into the Washer-dryer, make
sure the drum is empty.
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get
quite hot.
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have
been washed with flammable solvents (e.g.
trichlorethylene).
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or
similar elastomers.
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during
the drying cycles.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
Items that have been soiled with substances such
as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should be washed in hot water with an
extra amount of detergent before being dried in the
tumble dryer.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that
old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce
the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower
caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles
and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads
should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be
used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.
The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are
left at a temperature that ensures that the items will
not be damaged.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the
end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat is
dissipated.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with
wet or damp hands or feet.
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when
unplugging the appliance from the electricity
socket. Hold the plug and pull.
• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while
the machine is in operation.
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach
extremely high temperatures.
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage
the safety lock mechanism designed to prevent
accidental opening.
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any
circumstances access the internal mechanisms in
an attempt to repair it yourself.
• Always keep children well away from the appliance
while it is operating.

Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
Cleaning the pump
GB
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.

components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.
