appear on the display .
- If the selected func tion is incompa tible with another previously set
function, the wording “Not Selection ” will appear on the display and

Steam Hygiene
This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during
the wash cycle to remov e any bacteria from the bres, which ar e treated
at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a compatible
programme and select option .
! The steam generat ed during the operation of the washer-dr yer ma y
cause the porthole door to become haz y .
Delay T imer
T o set a delayed start for the selected c ycle , press the corresponding button
repeatedly until the desir ed delay period is reached. T o remov e the delayed
start setting, press the button until “-- h ” appears on the display .
T emperature
Each wash cycle has a pre- dened temperatur e. T o modify the
temperature , press the button. The value will appear on the display .
Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre- dened spin speed. T o modify the spin speed,
press the button. The value will appear on the display .
Direct Injec tion
The washer-dryer is equipped with the innovative technology «Direct
Injection» which pre -mixes w ater and detergent, thus immediat ely
activating the detergent’ s cleaning principles. T his active emulsion is
directly introduced into the drum of the w asher-dr yer and penetrat es the
bres with more ecacy in cleaning even heavily soiled garments at lo w
temperatures , fully preserving colours and fabrics.
The mode «P ower» ensures the best cleaning performance and the mode
«EcoEnergy» allow s more energy saving .
Drying
The desired drying cycle type may be set by pressing the DRYING button
once or several times. Two options are available:
A - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have been dried:
Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards. the
remaining dampness softens creases, making them easier to remove.
Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a cupboard
without being ironed.
Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried completely, such as
sponges and bathrobes.
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes.
To exclude the drying phase press the relevant button until the text OFF
appears on the display.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much greater than the
maximum stated load, 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. A
cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle.
Drying only
Press button to perform the drying-only cycle.
After selecting the desired cycle (compatible with the type of garments),
press button to exclude the washing phase and start the drying
phase at the maximum level for the selected cycle. The drying level or
time may be set and changed by pressing the drying button .
Multi Rinse
This option allows f or selecting the desired rinse type to protect sensitive
skin. Press the button once to set lev el “Extra +1 ” , which allows for
selecting an additional rinse to the standard cycle rinses and removing all
traces of detergen t. Press the button again t o set level “Extra +2 ” , which
allows for selecting two additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses; this
cycle is recommended for v er y sensitive skin. When the button is pressed
for the third time , the “Extra +3 ” level is set, which allows f or selecting
3 additional rinses to the standard cycle rinses. When started with
cycles at a temperature of 40°C, this option makes it possible to r emove
major allergens such as pollen and cat or dog hair . W ith cycles running
at temperatur es higher than 40°C, an excellent level of an ti-allergy
protection is achieved. P ress the button again to r eturn to the “Normal
Rinse” mode. If the current mode cannot be set nor changed, the display
will show “Not Selection ” or “Not Change ”.
KEY L OCK
T o activate the control panel lock, press and hold the button for
roughly 2 seconds. When the display visualises “KEY LOCK ON ” , the control
panel is locked (except f or the ON/OFF button ). This will pr event
accidental modications to wash cycles, especially when childr en are at
home. T o deactivate the control panel lock, press and hold the
button for appr oximately 2 seconds .
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
T ype of fabric (cotton, mixed br es, synthetics, w ool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separa te coloured garments from whites , wash
new coloured garments separat ely). 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-dr y er and the
drum. Check all buttons.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washer - dryer o
and disconnect it from the mains power . Do not use ammable liquids to
clean the washer-dryer.
Cutting o the wa ter and electricity supplies
T urn o the water tap after every wash cycle. This will limit wear on the
hydr aulic system inside the washer-dr yer and help t o prevent leaks.
Unplug the washer-dr yer when cleaning it and during all maint enance work.
Cleaning 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.
The washer-dryer has a “ Auto Clean ” c ycle f or its internal par ts; it must be
run without any load in the drum.
T o help the wash c y cle you may want to use either the det ergent (i.e. a
quantity 10% the quantity specied for lightly-soiled garments) or special
additives to clean the washer-dryer . W e recommend running a cleaning
programme ev er y 40 wash cycles.
T o activate the c y cle, press the button for 5 seconds then press ST ART/
P AUSE to start the cycle, which will last roughly 70 minutes .
Cleaning the detergent dispenser dr awer
Remove the dispenser draw er by lifting and pulling it outwards. W ash it
under running water; this procedur e should be eected regularly .
Caring for the door and drum
Always lea ve the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming .
Cleaning the pump
The washer-dryer is tted with a Auto Clean pump which does not require
any maintenanc e. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes
fall into the protective pr e -chamber situated at the base of the pump .
! Make sure that the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.
T o access the pre- chamber:
1. remove the c overing panel on the front side of the machine by inserting
a screwdriver in the c entre and sides of the panel and using it as a lever;
2. loosen the drainage pump cov er by turning it anti-clock wise: it is
normal for some water t o leak out;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the cov er back on;
5. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place bef ore
pushing the panel onto the appliance .
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year . If it is cracked or broken, it must
be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pr essure of the water could
suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that hav e already been used.
L O AD BALANCING SY STEM
Before ev er y spin cycle, to a void excessiv e vibrations befor e every
spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner , the drum rotates
continuously at a speed which is slightly gr eater 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
excessiv ely unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution
process instead of spinning . T o encourage improved load distribution and
balance, w e recommend small and large garments are mix ed in the load.

remaining in the hoses and secure the latt er so that they do not get
damaged during transport. Apply the transpor t bolts back on. Repeat, in
reverse or der , the transport bolt removal procedur e described in the
“Installation instructions” .
