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:  
! 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:

Load balancing system  
2
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibra-  
tions and to distribute the load in a uniform man-  
ner, 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 pro-  
cess 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 middle compartment (*).  
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.  
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash  
cycle (powder or liquid)  
For best results liquid detergent should be poured  
in the dispenser immediately before the start of  
the programme.  
compartment 2: 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. 7 kg  
Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg  
Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg  
Wool: max. 1.5 kg  
Silk: max. 1 kg

Care and maintenance  
Cleaning the pump  
Cutting off the water and  
electricity supplies  
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  
1
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;  
2
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.

Troubleshooting  
Your washer dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”),  
make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.  
GB  
Problem:  
Possible causes / Solutions:  
The washer dryer does not  
switch on.  
The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.  
There is no power in the house.  
The wash cycle does not start.  
The washer dryer door is not closed properly.  
The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.  
The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
The water tap has not been opened.  
A delayed start has been set (see “How to run a wash cycle or a drying cycle”).  
The washer dryer does not take The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.  
in water (the text "NO WATER,  
CHECK SUPPLY" appears  
on the display).  
The hose is bent.  
The water tap has not been opened.  
There is no water supply in the house.  
The pressure is too low.  
The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
The washer dryer continuously  
takes in and  
drains water.  
The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from  
the floor (see “Installation”).  
The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).  
The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.  
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water  
tap, switch the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If  
the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be  
problems relating to water drainage, causing the washer dryer to fill  
with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are  
available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.  
The washer dryer does not  
drain or spin.  
The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the  
drain phase to be started manually (see “Wash cycles and functions”).  
The “Reduced creases” function has been activated: To complete the  
wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button (see “Wash cycles and  
functions”).  
The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).  
The drainage duct is clogged.

during the spin cycle.  
The washer dryer is not level (see “Installation”).  
The washer dryer is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).  
The washer dryer leaks.  
The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).  
The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see  
“Care and maintenance”).  
The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).  
The machine is locked and the  
display flashes, indicating an  
error code (e.g. F-01, F-..).  
Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1  
minute and then switch it back on again.  
If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.  
There is too much foam.  
The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display  
the text “for washer dryers” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).  
Too much detergent was used.  
The washer-dryer does not dry. The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.  
There has been a power failure.  
The appliance door is not shut properly.  
A delayed start has been set.  
DRYING is in the OFF position.
