7. Start the programme
Press the “Start/Pause” button. The relevant light will
stop flashing and remain lit. The “Function” pilot light
illuminates.
8. How to change an option or a
programme during its cycle
If the programme has already started, before you make
any change, you must pause the washing machine by
pressing the Start/Pausebutton.
It is possible to change any option before the
programme carries it out.
Changing a running programme is possible only by
cancelling it and selecting a new programme. Turn the
programme selector dial to “O” Offposition and then to
the new programme position. The washing water
remains in the tub. Start the new programme by
depressing the Start/Pausebutton.
Note:To drain the water before starting the new cycle
you have to cancel the programme and select the Drain
programme.
9. How to cancel a programme
during its cycle
Turn the selector dial to “O” Offposition to cancel a
programme which is running. Now you can select a new
programme.
10. How to open the door during
the cycle of a programme
You can open the door, after having set the washing
machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions
exist:
• the washing machine is not in the heating phase
beyond 55°C;
• the level of the water is not high;





If these requirements are met, when you pause the
washing machine, the door can be opened.
Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it
be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off
by turning the selector dial on Offposition.
After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.
Pay attention to the level and temperature of the
water in the washing machine!
After closing the door, select the programme again and
depress the Start/Pausebutton.
11. End of programme
At the end of the programme, the washer-dryer stops
automatically.
The light of the “Start/Pause” button goes off, the pilot
light “Function” goes off and the phase indicator light
“End cycle” illuminates.The display will show a
flashing zero.
If you had selected the “Rinse Hold” option, the
corresponding lights will be on, the display will show a
flashing zero but the door will be locked to indicate that
the water must be drained. 
To complete the cycle, there are 2 possibilities :
• turn the selector dial to the “O” Offposition, select
programme “Drain” and then depress the
Start/Pausebutton: the water is emptied out without
spinning.
or
• turn the selector dial to the “O” Offposition and
then select programme “Spin”. Select the spin speed
by means of the relevant button and then depress the
Start/Pausebutton. The water is emptied out and
the laundry is spun at the selected spin speed.
When the programme has been completed, the phase
indicator light “End cycle” illuminates.
Remove the laundry from the washing machine.
Check whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to
prevent any items of laundry from remaining
accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged
in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour
into another load of laundry.
We advise you to close the water supply tap and
disconnect the plug from the socket.
Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

DRYING 3 KG OF COTTON
You have for example just machine-washed and spun at
1200 rpm 6 kg of laundry.
They are cotton fabrics of medium weight which you
want to iron as soon as they are dry.
Turn the selector dial to the “O” Offposition to switch
the machine off.
Then remove the laundry from the appliance and divide
the items to obtain two loads of approx. 3 kg each.
The water tap must be open and the drain hose must be
positioned in the sink or connected to the drain pipe.
1. Load the laundry.
2.  Turn the selector dial to “Dry” position in the
Cottons sector. The “Drying” light illuminates.
3.  Depress the “Drying Time” button until the time

switch the machine off.
6. Remove the laundry.





	
 

	
 

AUTODRYING 2 KG OF SYNTHETICS
You intend to wash and dry automatically 2 kg of
synthetics which do not need ironing.
Do not use a dosing device/ball when carrying out a
washing & drying programme.
1.Load the laundry.
2.Add detergent and fabric softener.
3.Switch the machine on by turning the selector dial
to the selected wash programme/fabric.
4.Select the  drying time.
5.Select the required options by means of the relevant
buttons. If possible, do not select a spin speed lower
than that proposed by the appliance to avoid a too
long drying time so saving energy.
In any case the reduction of the spin speed is only
possible after selecting drying. The lowest values
with timed dryingyou can select are the following:
- 900 r.p.m. for cottons
- 700 r.p.m. for synthetics 
6.Start the programme by depressing the
“Start/Pause” button.
7.At the end of the programme Turn the selector dial
to the “O” Offposition to switch the machine off.
8.Remove the laundry.
ATTENTION!
When automatically washing and drying cotton and
synthetic items (washing & drying programme) do not
select the “Easy Iron”  option. If you select this
option, the washer -dryer performs a short and gentle
spin, which leaves the laundry, at the end of the
washing programme, too damp so a longer drying time
will be necessary..

Washing and Drying Hints
Do NOToverload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
first few times you use the appliance. 
The average weights of the most common items are
listed below as a guide:
1000g = 1 kg
Sheet 700-1000 g
Pillow case  100-200 g
Tablecloth 400-500 g
Serviette 50-100 g
Tea towel  70-120 g
Linen hand towel  100-150 g
Towelling hand towel  150-250 g
Towelling bath towel  700-1000 g
Bath robe  1000-1500 g
Man’s shirt  200-300 g
Apron 150-200 g
●Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
●Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
●Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may
unravel.
●Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
●When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
●Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
●It is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.
●When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.
●White items should not be washed with coloured
items.
●Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
●Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
●Use the correct quantities of detergent.
●For wool, use gentle detergent only in small
quantities.
●Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.
●Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found
in most household shops. In some cases it may help
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-
soak product or biological detergent.
●If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin
only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left
in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not
contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a
rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to
ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.
●Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too
long before drying.
●Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.
●If you overdry the laundry, besides wasting energy,
any subsequent ironing may become more difficult
because the fabric could be heavily crumpled.
●Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished
drying.
●To avoid a static charge when drying is completed,
use either a fabric softener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for
tumble dryers.
●Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains,
woollen and silk,  garments with metal inserts, nylon
stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not
be machine dried.
●Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials
similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried;
they represent a fire hazard.
●Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or
hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must
not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation
of harmful vapours.
●For drying, follow the indications given on the
manufacturer’s labels.
May be tumble dried
Drying at high temperature
Drying at reduced temperature
Do not tumble dry
Important:
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation
principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the
drain hose must drain water into a sink or into
the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

And in which form?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they
are also available in different forms. Whether you chose
a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is
your own personal choice.
TRADITIONAL POWDERS
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do
not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.
TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol  , start
the machine immediately upon placing the
detergent in the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the
specially designed dosing device* which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also
known) are available in liquid or powder form, and
generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most
economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the
dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent
into the specially designed dosing device* which
should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back
of the machine drum.
*  If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,
please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed
before carrying out a drying programme.
FABRIC CONDITIONERS
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing
easier. They are available in two types:
For example Lenor liquid fabric 
softener, for use in the washing
machine/washer dryer. The
liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment
marked with the symbol  .
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the
MAX level.
Bounce conditioning sheets for use 
in a tumble dryer. We recommend
the conditioning sheets are pinned
(using a safety pin) to an article
of laundry and placed in the 
tumble dryer.
Which detergent?....
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your
appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in
your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended
for use in automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and
household textiles and to make them last longer you
should use different types of detergent for different
washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.
WHITES
We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.
NON BIOLOGICAL
If you prefer to use a non
biological detergent, which does
not contain enzymes we
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides
good cleaning and stain removal.
COLOURS
For coloured items you should use a
detergent which is designed to clean
while maintaining the original colour.
Ariel Color does not contain bleach 
and therefore helps to preserve
colours.
DELICATE ITEMS
When washing delicates such as
woollens, you should use a product
which is specially designed to care for
fine fabrics.
Dreft Automatic is suitable for
woollens and other delicates.
LAUNDRY BLEACH
For additional stain removal you may
wish to use a product such as Ace
Gentle Bleach which is used in addition
to your chosen detergent. Ace is
suitable for all washable fabrics
including silks, woollens and colours.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECTthe appliance from the electricity
supply.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good
idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the
machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing,
and according to the softening powder manufacturers
instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of
lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent
mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.
Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to
preserve the door seal.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to
get a build up of residues inside the drum. 
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed
on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
●The drum should be empty of laundry.
●Select the hottest cotton wash programme.  
●Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder (such as Ariel Futur).
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with a
solution of mild washing up liquid and water and then
dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards
and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of
accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment
should be removed.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean
the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is
removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme
without any clothes in the drum.





132981630revised.23.01.07.qxd  23/01/2007  9.28  Pagina  19 
						

							• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and
place the latter back in its seat.
•  Screw the pump cover fully in.
• Close the pump door.
Wa r n i n g
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle,
always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle,
and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is
securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose.


Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
• the machine does not empty and/or spin 
• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump. 
Proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the appliance. 
•  If necessary wait until the water has cooled down. 
• Open the pump door.
•  Place a container close to the pump to collect any
spillage. 
•  Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the
container and remove its cap.
•  When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry
up spillage of water when removing the cover.
•Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
