EN 10 4. USING THE APPLIANCE FOR WASHING 4.1 PREPARING THE ITEMS FOR WASHING 1. Subdivide the items for washing by fabric type and colour fastness. 2. Wash white and coloured items separately. Ne w coloured items should be washed separately the fi rst time. Normally, items carry labels with washing instructi ons. The following is a short description of the symbols u- sed on these labels. WASHING BLEACHING Machine wash at max. 90°C Machine wash at max. 60°C Bleaching allowed Do not bleach IRONING Machine wash at max. 40°C Machine wash at max. 30°C Hot iron Warm iron Cool iron Do not iron DRY CLEANING Machine wash, delicate cycle at max. 60°C Machine wash, delicate cycle at max. 40°C Machine wash, delicate cycle at max. 30°C Any solvent Any solvent e- xcept trichloroe- thylene Petroleum solvent and R113 Do not dry clean DRYING Hand wash Do not wash High tem- perature Less than 60°C Do not tumble dry Warning! Do not wash unhemmed or torn items as they may fray. Unrelated items in the wash may damage the gar ments or parts of the washer-dryer. So: empty pockets and turn them inside-out, and remove wheels from curtai ns or wrap them in a mesh bag. Wash very small items (belts, handkerchiefs, s ocks, padded bras, etc.) in a white canvas bag. Fas ten press- studs and zips and sew on loose buttons. The use of modern detergents and the correct w ashing temperature is generally sufficient to remove stains from fabrics. However, some difficult stains such a s grass, fruit, egg, blood, rust, ballpoint pen, etc. should be dealt with before washing. Depending on the type of fabric, there are a large number of commercial stain removers on the market. In all cases, stains should be cleaned or diluted at once, since the ol - der they are, the harder they are to remove. Failure to comply with washing guidance symbols may result in damage to the items washed. Wool – Only wool marked as pure new wool, with the mark, or labelled shrink-proof, machine-washable can be washed in a washing machine on the specific programme; other types of wool should be hand-washe d or dry-cleaned. 4.2 OPENING THE DOOR The appliance is fitted with a safety device which prevents the door from being opened while the progr amme is in progress. 1. Check that all the water has been drained from the tank and the drum is at a standstill. Warning! If the washing programme is interrupted, it wi ll be from 3 to 15 minutes before the door can be o pened, de- pending on the temperature reached inside the appli ance. Warning! The water may still be boiling hot if the wash was at high temperature. Do not open the door if there is still water in the drum! 4.3 LOADS OF WASHING As far as possible, to save electricity, it is more economical to wash complete loads of the various types of fabric . Shake out the laundry before loading, and alterna te large and small items. It is best to weight the load the first few times, after which you will be able to re ly on your experience.

4.4 LOADING THE ITEMS FOR WASHING
1. Open the door and load the laundry, distributing it evenly over the drum, with items opened out and not
bundled together; if possible, large and small item s should be well mixed.
2. The washing machine covered by this manual can b e loaded with up to 6kg of laundry for each wash. If
this weight is exceeded, the washing results will b e poor and the appliance may malfunction.
3. To save energy it is more economical to wash full l oads of the various types of fabric, following the
guidance on quantities provided in the Programmes Table supplied in this manual.
4. Close the door by pressing against the frame unt il you hear it click shut. Take care not to trap items of
laundry between the door and the rubber gasket.
Warning! If the door is not properly closed, a safety devic e prevents the washer-dryer from starting.
Do not exceed the maximum load: overloading adverse ly affects washing results.
4.5 ADDING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVE
The internal tray comprises three compartments, mar ked with the symbols
prewash detergent
main wash detergent
for fabric conditioner, starch, additives, etc. (e. g. treatment products). The additives are added to
the washing tank automatically during the final rin se.
The main wash detergent compartment has a tang allo wing the use of liquid detergent. To insert it, pull it towards
the front and then lower it.
Following the recommendations in the Programmes Ta ble supplied
with this manual, place the detergent and any addit ives in the drawer
before the start of the programme.
Never fill with liquids above the maximum level mar ked; otherwise
the trays will empty too quickly.
Before pouring dense additives into the container, dilute with a little
water to ensure they do not clog the outlet.
Use only low-foam detergents suitable for use in a washer-dryer. The amount of detergent must be decided in relation of the hard-
ness of the water, the type and quantity of items l oaded, and their
degree of dirt.
This will provide the desired effect with optimal d etergent consump-
tion.
On detergent packs the recommended dose is indicate d for 4 levels of water hardness and for loads of 4-5 kg of
laundry with average dirt levels.
Request information about the waters hardness from your water supply company.

Drain off the water (see point 6.4) Pull the lever down and open the door. Warning, scolding hazard : before opening the door, check that the appliance does not contain boiling hot wat er and de- tergent which may pour out and cause injury when th e door is opened. Warning : do not open the door using the emergency release lever while the drum is turning. 5. USING THE APPLIANCE FOR DRYING 5.1 GENERAL During drying cycles, the water tap must be turned on and the drain hose correctly positioned. This appliance can be set to perform wash only, dry only and wash-and-dry programmes. In the wash-and-dry programme, the appliance switch es from washing to drying automatically, with no need to use the controls (at the end of the wash) to obtain the complete cycle. Attention Only dry laundry or garments washed in an aqueous solution and suitable for tumble drying. Do not dry fabrics which have been dry cleaned or had stains removed with chemical solvents, wool or wool blend fabrics which will be shrunk by the heat , very delicate fabrics such as silk and synthetic cur- tains, fabrics which may easily lose threads such a s woollen yarn, padding and loose-pile mats, or arti- cles which contain foam rubber or similar elastomer s. Loads of laundry placed in the washer-dryer for dry ing must not exceed 4 Kg in weight. The wa- sher-dryer is constructed to give the best results with loads which do not exceed 4 kg of dry weight o f laundry. When washing programmes for resistant fabrics are set, drying automatically takes place at 90°C (normal drying). In washing programmes for delicate fabrics, drying automatically takes place at 60°C (gentle drying). Therefore, in automatic wash-and-dry programmes, th e drying programme will depend on the washing programme selected. In drying only programmes, the laundry must first have been washed and spun-dried. After drying particularly fluffy items such as new terry towels, the Rinse program should be carried out to ensure that any deposits left by the fabric are removed, and are not deposited on the clothes in th e next wash. Important – Do not dry delicate fabrics that will not withst and a temperature of 60°C or any fabrics which will not withstand the selected temperature. 5.1.1 EXTRA DRYING If the laundry is still too damp at the end of the programme, set a short timed drying programme. Warning! : do not over-dry as this may cause creases or shri nkage of garments.

5.2 WASH-AND-DRY PROGRAMME Automatic washing and drying can be carried out in the tough fabrics (cotton and colours) and synthetic/delicate
fabrics programmes. If the wool wash programmes are selected, automatic drying after the wash cannot be set.
For automatic washing and drying, the load of laund ry must not exceed 4 kg of cotton or 2 kg of synthetic fab-
rics .
Therefore, if the load for washing and drying excee ds the quantities stated above, a wash+dry programm e is not
recommended; the load will have to be halved after washing and dried in two lots.
To set a wash-and-dry programme proceed as follows:
1. Select the washing programme and make any changes to the defau lt parameters;
2. Press the dry button to set the drying time required. The display initially shows the maximum t ime which can
be set (2h:40’), which is then gradually reduced to 0h:00’
Whether drying will be at the normal temperature (9 0°C) or the delicate fabrics temperature (60°C) depends
on the washing programme set previously.
Once a drying time has been set, the symbol on the display flashes; it remains constantly on once the cycle
enters the drying stage.
5.3 DRY ONLY PROGRAMME 1. Turn the appliance off by turning the washin g/drying programmes selector knob to OFF.
2. Turn the knob to the drying programme requir ed: Intensive drying: for normal drying (90°C), or Gentle drying:
for delicate fabrics (60°C). To find out which symb ol identifies each drying programme, refer to the pro-
grammes table supplied with the appliance.
3. Press the Dry button repeatedly to set the d rying time required (see previous point).
4. Press the Start-Pause” button to start the drying programme. The display shows the time remain ing and the
drying symbol LED lights up.
Attention Since no washing programme has been set previo usly, there are no constraints on selection of the drying
programme (normal or gentle). Remember that normal drying is recommended for cotton and coloureds, and
gentle drying for synthetic and delicate items.
For good drying results, the load of laundry must not exceed 4kg of cotton or 2kg of synthetic fabrics.
5.4 INTERRUPTING OR CHANGING THE DRYING PROGRAMME 1. The drying programme can be interrupted by t he same procedures as the washing programme.
2. To end the programme and remove the laundry, it is best first to cool the load. Use the selector button to set
a drying time of 20 minutes. Restart the appliance as described above and the laundry will be ready fo r re-
moval.

5.5 CLEAN PROGRAMME To keep the appliance operating at peak efficiency over time, it has a CLEAN programme for regular cle aning of
the drying circuit to remove any fluff deposits.
1. After a given number of drying cycles, the CLEAN symbol lights up on the display to warn that this pro-
gramme needs to be run. The warning light remains o n until the CLEAN programme is carried out. The light
goes out at the end of the programme.
2. To perform the CLEAN programme, proceed as follo ws:
a. Make sure that the drum is completely empty and close the door.
b. Turn the knob to the CLEAN programme (see progra mmes table for the exact position on the knob)

6.1 CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE Regular, thorough cleaning will keep your applianc e looking good.
Clean the exterior of the appliance with soap and water only, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
The plastic parts should just be wiped with a damp cloth.
Do not scrape with pointed objects, or use solvent s or products containing abrasive substances because
they damage the surfaces.
For reasons of safety, never spray the washer-dryer with jets of water.
6.2 CLEANING THE DRUM Remove any rust marks from the drum using a stainl ess steel cleaner, or very fine sandpaper for particu-
larly stubborn cases.
For descaling the washer-dryer use only brand-name descalers which contain an anti-corrosion agent for
washing machines.
Always follow the producers instructions with reg ard to use and dosages.
After descaling or removing rust from the drum, car ry out a few rinse cycles to remove all acid
residues which might damage the appliance. Never us e cleaners which contain solvents. There is
the risk of the formation of vapours which might ca tch fire and explode.
