This directive contains the regulations governing t he collection and recycling of decommissioned appli ances throughout the European Union. The symbol of the rubbish bin with a line through i t on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the prod- uct must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its life cycle. The user is thus obliged to consign scrapped appliances to the special electron ic and electrotechnical waste disposal centres, or return them to the dealer on purchase of a similar new app liance, on a one-to-one basis. Consignment to the appropriate facility for environ mentally responsible recycling, treatment and dispo sal helps to prevent any negative effects on the enviro nment and health, and encourages the reuse and/or r ecy- cling of the appliance’s component materials. Illegal dumping of the appliance by the user will b e subject to prosecution under the relevant law.
EN 2 READ THE INSTRUCTIONS Attention! You are advised to read all the instructions in this manual carefully; it will inform you about the right conditions for the proper, safe use of yo ur washer-dryer It is very important to keep this instruction manua l with the appliance for future reference. In the event of sale or transfer, ensure that the m anual always accompanies the appli- ance, to provide the necessary information about its use. 1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY AND USE Attention! These precautions are detailed for reasons of safety. This section must be read carefully before installation and use. Disposing of packaging Never leave packaging residues unattended in the h ome. Separate waste packaging materials by type and consign them to the nearest recycling cent re. Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, et c.) must not be left within reach of children. Disposing of old appliances Once no longer in use, appliances must be rendered unusable: permanently disarm the lock on the door (this will prevent children riskin g their lives by locking themselves inside during play) and cut the power supply lead after re moving the plug from the socket. The appliance must be delivered to a recycling faci lity. Environmental protection Use the whole of the maximum recommended capacity. Never exceed the maximum permitted lo- ad. Do not use the prewash function for lightly or nor mally soiled items. Follow the manufacturers recommendations on deter gent usage. Use the highest spin speed permitted for the fabri c type. Fast spins reduce the drying time and thus energy consumption. Safety instructions This appliance is intended for domestic use and is compliant with Directives 72/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC (including Directives 92/31/EEC and 93/6 8/EEC) currently in force. Read all the instructions in this manual carefully before installation and use. Check that the drum assembly has been released bef ore use (see instructions). Failure to release the drum assembly may cause damage to the washer-dr yer and the surrounding furniture or appli- ances during the spin cycle. This Instruction Manual is an integral part of the appliance: it must always be kept intact with the appliance. Installation must be carried out by qual ified staff in compliance with the relevant regula- tions. The appliance is built to provide the follow ing functions: washing and drying of clothes or fa- brics stated to be suitable for machine washing by the producer on the relevant label. All other u- ses are to be considered improper. The manufacturer declines all liability for uses ot her than those stated above. The nameplate with the technical data, serial numb er and mark is in a visible position in the part in view after the door has been opened. The nameplate must never be removed. The electrical and plumbing works required to insta ll the appliance must only be carried out by skilled staff. The appliance must be connected to earth in compli ance with electrical system safety regulations. The manufacturer declines all liability for direct or indirect injury or damage deriving from a non-existent or defective earth connection. In the event that the appliance is not connected b y means of a plug, an omnipolar circuit-breaker device with contact gap of at least 3 mm must be pr ovided. The plug to be connected to the power supply lead and the relative socket must be of the same type and comply with the relevant regulations. Chec k that the mains voltage and frequency are the
EN 3 same as the values marked on the nameplate. The use of adapters or junctions is not recom- mended. Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the power supply lead. The appliance is only disconnected from the electri city supply if the plug has been removed from the socket or the electrical system master swi tch has been turned off. The power plug must be accessible after the appliance has been ins talled. The appliance must be installed using new sets of hoses (supplied with the appliance). Old hose sets should not be reused. Take care that the appliance is not standing on th e power supply cable. The washer-dryer must never be used on vehicles, o n board ships or planes, or in environments with hazards, such as explosive or corrosive enviro nments (powders, vapours and gases) or ex- plosive and/or corrosive liquids, Do not install the washer-dryer in places with a r isk of frost. Frozen pipes may burst under the pressure. Make sure that the drain hose connected to the sin k is securely fastened and cannot move. If it is not fixed in place, the repulsive force o f the water might thrust it away from the sink, cau sing the risk of flooding. When connecting the hose to a sink also check that the water drains from it quickly, a s other- wise the sink may overflow. Do not overload the appliance. Never use detergents which contain solvents or che micals for washing in the washer-dryer. They might damage the appliance and form poisonous vapou rs. These fumes might also catch fi- re and explode. Garments soaked in petroleum products must not be washed in the washing machine. Before wa- shing, check that garments do not contain inflammab le devices (e.g. cigarette-lighters, matches, etc.) If volatile cleaning fluids are used, ensure that these substances have been removed from the garments before they are placed in the appliance. Before loading garments for washing, check that th e pockets are empty, buttons secure and zips fastened. Do not wash frayed or torn garments. During washing at high temperatures, the glass in the door will become very hot. Check that all water has been drained from the appl iance before opening the door. If there is water inside, pump it out before openi ng the door. If in doubt, read the instruction man- ual. The water in the appliance is not suitable for drin king! Swallowing washing machine detergents may injure t he mouth and throat. Before removing the garments from the washer-dryer check that the drum is at a standstill. Switch the appliance off after each use to avoid w asting electricity. Leave the door ajar between washes to keep the gas ket in good condition. In the event of a malfunction never attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Disconnect the ap- pliance from the electricity supply and turn off th e water tap. Then contact a qualified engineer. Repairs must only be carried out by qualified staff . The appliance is intended for use by adults. Do not allow children to tamper with the washer- dryers controls or play with it and do not keep children in the vicinity while the prog ramme is in progress. Young animals or small children might climb into t he washer-dryer . Always check the inside of the drum before use and do not allow children to play with the ap- pliance. Keep children away from the appliance when the doo r or the detergent drawer is open; the appli- ance might contain detergent residues which may cau se permanent injury to the eyes, mouth and throat, or even cause death by suffocation. The appliance is not intended for use by persons ( including children) with reduced physical, sen- sory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given su- pervision or instruction concerning use of the appl iance by a person responsible for their safety.

BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in
this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to
BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fuse cover ( A) and fuse ( B)
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover
3. Refit both into plug
Important:
The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a
fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must no t
be used until a correct replacement is fitted.
Correct replacement are identified by the colour
insert or the colour embossed in words on the
base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your
local electrical store.
If the appliance is provided with a plugless supply cord:
It is necessary to install in the fixed wiring an all-pole disconnection device having a gap be-
tween contacts of at least 3,5mm. After installatio n the disconnection device has to be easy to
reach.

2.2 POSITIONING AND LEVELLING 1. Place the appliance in the chosen position.
2. Level the appliance carefully in all directions with the aid of
a spirit level, adjusting the
height of the feet if necessary.
Once done, fix the feet in pla-
ce with the locknuts provided.
3. On appliances with adjustable rear feet, note that the rear of the appliance rests on skid s and not on the feet.
Before inserting the appliance into its place betwe en the kitchen units, check that the rear feet are screwed
fully in to prevent damage as the appliance is shif ted into position.
Once the appliance is in position in the kitchen, t he height of the rear feet has to be increased so t hat the ap-
pliance no longer stands on the skids. After adjust ing the rear feet, level the appliance and fix the front feet at
the height required.
The water intake and drain hoses can be fitted poin ting to the left or right for effective installation.
Warning! This operation must be carried out with care to prevent the washer-dryer from vibrating, moving or ge-
nerating excessive noise during use.
If the appliance is installed on a carpeted flo or, take care to ensure that the openings in the bo ttom of
the washer-dryer are not obstructed.
Also check that during operation the washer-d ryer is not resting against walls, kitchen units, etc.
The appliance must not be installed behind a door with lock, a sliding door, or a door with hinge on the oppo-
site side.

2.3 ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Carefully read the installation instructions in point 3 on page 6 of the washer dryer installation manual.
2. After the initial instructions have been adhered to. I.e. removing transit bolts and fitting the adjustable feet etc.
Using a spirit level, make sure that the washer dry er is completely level and the overall height of the legs, in-
cluding the rubber foot and the locking nuts, is no greater than 25mm maximum.
3. When installing the washer dryer you must ensure that the leg locking nuts are firmly tightened.
Under no circumstances should the washer dryer be installed with the front legs higher than the rear. If atten-
tion is required in levelling the furniture door th en we would advise fitting the “push-push” catch an d the rub-
ber furniture door buffer. It is important to note that any other installation other than one of a lev el nature
could induce vibration or excessive movement of the washer dryer, especially on the spin cycle.
4. The machine should be installed directly onto a clean, sound and level floor, and as low as possible. Please
note this machine should not be installed on carpet s, foam-backed flooring, laminate and parquet floors. If,
however, for cosmetic purposes the machine height n eeds to be raised, it must not be done so by raising the
height of the legs, but via an additional baseboard .
As a manufacture we do not recommend or specify any particular means by which to raise the washer dryer,
but have found that dense board, between 18mm and 4 0mm in thickness, grip-fixed and screwed to the floor
and capable of supporting the weight of the washer dryer without distortion, and cut to the dimensions of the
machine base appears to be good installation practi ce.
Please note that any material that has a shiny or a slippery finish should not be used.
5. Floating floors. As more apartments are being bu ilt with floating floors, additional care must be taken when in-
stalling the washer dryers. The current flooring sp ecifications state that additional bracing must be installed in
areas directly below electric storage heaters and d oor thresholds. It is important to note that whilst some elec-
tric storage heaters have a weight of 80kgs, washer dryers, when loaded, have a combined weight in exc ess
of 90kgs and the oscillating nature of any loaded w asher dryer will deliver varying stresses and loadings on to
the adjacent floor area.
However because floating flooring manufacturers cur rent specifications do not state that additional bracing is
required in the floor area below heavy domestic app liances the flooring area below washer dryers is generally
only supported in one direction and not two as is the case with electric storage heaters. Therefore in order to
provide the house purchaser with additional peace o f mind, and to prevent any unnecessary vibration and os-
cillation in the kitchen area we would advise house builders to consider fitting additional floor bracing at the
time of floor installation to a similar specification to that which is required for the installation o f electric storage
heaters.
6. The ideal base surface for any heavy domestic ap pliance to stand on is one of solid concrete, as any minor
leak from the domestic water supply will not advers ely effect the area adjacent to the washer dryer, as any
leak onto a floating and/or wood laminate floor cou ld cause extensive water damage.
Please note that as these machines are water tested prior to leaving our factory a small amount of residual
water will be present in the hoses, therefore care must be taken to prevent any minor water spillage d uring in-
stallation. Please also ensure that the water feed hose are correctly fitted and tightened, both at the mains
and the machine connectors.
7. Please ensure that installation is carried out i n accordance to the above installation instructions . As failure to
do so could invalidate the guarantee.
2.4 CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
1. Check that the water supply pressure is in t he following range: 0,05-0,9MPa. With
higher pressures, use a pressure reducer.
2. Connect the cold water supply hose ( blue screw collar) to the cold water tap with ¾
gas threaded connector, taking care to tighten firm ly to prevent leaks. The water sup-
ply hose must not be kinked or crushed and must not be changed or cut. Threaded
connections must only be tightened by hand.
3. When appliances are supplied with hot water, the intake water temperature must not
exceed 60°C and the hose with red screw collar must be connected to the hot water su pply tap.
Warning! If the connection is made to new pipelines, or lines which have been out of use for a long time, allow a con-
siderable amount of water to flow out before connec ting the intake hose. This prevents any sand or other dirt
from fouling the filters installed in the appliance to protect the water intake valves.
The new intake hose supplied with the appliance mu st be used, and the old water supply hose must not be
used.

2.5 CONNECTING TO THE DRAIN 1. Insert the end of the drain hose into a drai n pipe having inside diameter of at least 4 cm, at least 50 to 90 cm
above floor level, or connect it securely (using th e plastic fitting on the elbow in the hose) to a sink or bathtub.
2. In all cases, check that the end of the drain hose is securely fixed to prevent the repulsive fo rce of the water
from pushing it out of place.
Warning! Avoid kinks or restrictions to ensure effectiv e drainage.
Any drain hose extensions must be no more than 1 metre long, must be of the same diameter and mus t be
free from restrictions of all kinds.
The end of the drain hose must never be submerged in water.
2.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Before connecting the plug to the power socket ensure that: 1. The electrical system voltage is the same as tha t stated on the nameplate on the front of the appliance,
in the zone visible when the door is open. The rate d power supply and the fuses required are specified
on the nameplate.
2. The meter, safety breakers, power supply line an d power socket are rated to withstand the maximum lo-
ad required, stated on the nameplate.
3. The power supply socket and the plug fitted to t he appliance are compatible without the use of reduc-
tions, multiple sockets, adapters and extension lea ds which might cause overheating or scorching.
If the power supply socket is not compatible with t he plug supplied, replace the socket with one of th e
appropriate type.
Warning The power plug must be accessible after the applian ce has been installed.
It is absolutely essential to connect the appli ance to earth. Connect the plug to a socket with an earth
connection in good working order.
The manufacturer declines all liability for direct or indirect injury or damage deriving from a non-ex istent
or defective earth connection. Correct electrical connection guarantees conditions of maximum safety. This appliance is compliant with the requireme nts of EEC directive 89/336 of 3.5.89 (including th e amend-
ment directive 92/31/EEC) concerning the eliminatio n of radio-frequency disturbance.
If the power supply lead is damaged, it must o nly be replaced with an original spare, available from the After-
Sales Service.
Do not connection/disconnect the power supply p lug from the socket with wet hands
Only disconnect the power supply plug from the socket by taking hold of the plug itself, never by
pulling on the lead.
