situated between 65  
and 100 cm from  
the floor;  
Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp  
fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp  
socket for immediate use. Before using the  
appliance please read the instructions below.  
65 - 100 cm  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
EARTHED.  
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD  
BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRI-  
CIAN.  
The drain hose may  
be connected to  
an under-sink trap.  
Before connecting  
the drain hose from  
the machine ensu-  
re 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.  
Where it connects to  
the waste water pipe  
cut end off spigot or  
remove the blanking cap  
Replacement fuse covers:  
If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be  
of the correct colour as indicated by the colou-  
red 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.  
If it is place over  
the edge of a basin  
or sink be sure the  
free end of the hose  
should not be un-  
derwater.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moul-  
ded plug and you should wish to re-route the  
mains cable through partitions, units etc.,  
please ensure that either:  
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.  
! We advise against the use of hose exten-  
sions; in case of absolute need, the exten-  
sion must have the same diameter as the  
original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in  
length.  
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.

Care and maintenance  
To access the pre-chamber:  
Cutting off the water and electri-  
city supplies  
GB  
1. using a screwdri-  
ver, remove the  
cover panel on the  
lower front part of the  
washer-dryer (see  
figure);  
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.  
Cleaning the washer-dryer  
2. unscrew the lid  
by rotating it anti-  
clockwise (see figu-  
re): a little water may  
trickle out. This is  
perfectly normal;  
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.  
Cleaning the detergent dispenser  
drawer  
Remove the dispenser  
by raising it and pul-  
ling it out (see figure).  
Wash it under running  
water; this operation  
should be repeated  
frequently.  
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  
Caring for the door and drum of  
your appliance  
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.  
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order  
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.  
Cleaning the pump  
! Never use second-hand hoses.  
The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning  
pump which does not require any maintenan-  
ce. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or  
buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which  
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and  
unplug the appliance.

Precautions and tips  
! This Washer-dryer was designed and constructed in  
accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-  
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must  
therefore be read carefully.  
Disposal  
GB  
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local  
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that  
old household electrical appliances must not be  
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste  
stream. Old appliances must be collected  
separately in order to optimise the recovery and  
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce  
the impact on human health and the environment.  
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the  
product reminds you of your obligation, that when  
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately  
collected.  
General safety  
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-  
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental  
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless  
they have been given supervision or instruction concer-  
ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their  
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they  
do not play with the appliance.  
- Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.  
- Items that have been soiled with substances such as  
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot re-  
movers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be  
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent  
before being dried in the tumble dryer.  
- Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, water-  
proof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted  
with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.  
- Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used  
as specified by the fabric softener instructions.  
- The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat  
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a tem-  
perature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.  
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of  
the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and  
spread out so that the heat is dissipated.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
Opening the porthole door manually  
In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole  
door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the  
laundry, proceed as follows:  
1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.  
• The Washer-dryer must only be used by adults, in accordance  
with the instructions provided in this manual.  
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or  
damp hands or feet.  
• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging the  
appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pull.  
• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the  
machine is in operation.  
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-  
ly high temperatures.  
• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety  
lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.  
• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-  
stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt  
to repair it yourself.  
2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower  
than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water  
using the drain hose, collecting it in a bucket as indicated  
in the figure.  
3. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the  
lower front part of the Washer-dryer (see figure).  
• Always keep children well away from the appliance while  
it is operating.  
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.  
• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two  
or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never  
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.  
• Before loading laundry into the Washer-dryer, make sure  
the drum is empty.  
• During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot.  
• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have  
been washed with flammable solvents (e.g. trichlorethylene).  
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or  
similar elastomers.  
4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure,

using a liquid detergent and dosage suitable for a half-  
load.  
Sport Shoes (wash cycle 10): is for washing sports  
shoes; for best results, do not wash more than 2 pairs  
simultaneously.  
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these  
create too much foam.  
Open the detergent di-  
spenser drawer and pour  
in the detergent or washing  
additive, as follows.  
Express Wash & Dry (wash cycle 13) was designed to  
wash and dry lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle  
may be used to wash and dry a laundry load of up to 0.5  
kg in just 35 minutes.

To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-  
treat cuffs, collars and stains.  
Load balancing system  
!Do not pour detergent into the compartment 1.  
Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 2.  
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle  
(powder or liquid)  
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately  
prior to the start of the wash cycle.  
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and  
to distribute the load in a uniform manner, 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 process instead of  
spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and bal-  
ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed  
in the load.  
compartment 3: 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 values listed in the “Table of wash  
cycles”, which refer to the weight of the laundry when dry.  
How much does your laundry weigh?  
1 sheet 400-500 g  
1 pillow case 150-200 g  
1 tablecloth 400-500 g  
1 bathrobe 900-1200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
Special wash cycles  
Wool: all wool garments can be washed using programme  
5, even those carrying the “hand-wash only”  
label. For  
best results, use special detergents and do not exceed  
1,5 kg of laundry.  
Silk: use special wash cycle 6 to wash all silk garments.  
We recommend the use of special detergent which has  
been designed to wash delicate clothes.  
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or  
mesh bag. Use wash cycle 6.  
Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use  
a liquid detergent. Use programme 7.

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 machine does not switch on.  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.  
• There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.  
The wash cycle does not start.  
• The 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 turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• A delayed start has been set.  
The machine does not dry.  
• Check the 2 sections above.  
• The ‘DRY’ button has been pressed to exclude drying.  
The clothes are too hot when the  
drying cycle is finished.  
• A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle. If the  
clothes appear too hot to handle leave the door open to allow to cool further  
before removing from the machine.  
The machine does not fill with wa-

window.  
• The water pressure is too low.  
• The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.  
• There is no water supply to the house.  
• The inlet valve filter is blocked.  
• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.  
The machine continuously fills with • The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65

and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).  
• The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run  
into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of  
the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.  
• The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the  
‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.  
The machine does not drain or spin • The Pump filter is blocked.  
(error lights flashing).  
• The drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).  
New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if  
connected under a sink.  
• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.  
The wash programme takes too  
long.  
• Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperature  
and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme times  
accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’ below) - (Most Common Cause!).  
The Display sticks at one ‘time to  
end’ for more than 1 Minute or the  
Display changes the estimated ‘Time  
to End’ during the programme.  
• The display time is for guidance only - it is not a precise time to finish  
and may vary.  
The machine vibrates a lot during  
the spin cycle.  
• The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.  
New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the  
Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.  
• The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.  
• The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at  
a lower speed.  
13  
 
The machine is noisy.  
• There will always be some motor, pump and drum noise during spin.  
GB  
The machine wont spin properly.  
• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this  
happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the load  
required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will increase  
the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.  
Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single heavy item (eg duvet, quilt,  
etc). - Try the programme again using a different load.  
The machine leaks from the  
dispenser.  
• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.  
• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the tap  
on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.  
• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.  
The machine leaks (other than  
dispenser).  
• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.  
• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill  
hose is missing the rubber washer.  
• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.  
The option lights and the START/  
PAUSE indicator light flash while  
one of the wash cycle progress  
and DOOR LOCKED lights are lit in  
a fixed manner.  
• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then  
switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical Assistance  
Centre.  
The machine smells.  
• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with deter-  
gent and no laundry.  
The machine door cannot be  
opened.  
• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly after  
the program has finished.  
Door Seal damaged at the bottom.  
• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.  
• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.  
The water level is too low when  
the machine is washing.  
There is too much foam.  
• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text  
‘for washing machines’ or ‘hand and machine wash’ or the like).  
Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.  
After completing the programme,  
or before starting a programme,  
the machine has turned itself off  
(no lights).  
To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an  
automatic standby system. Press ‘ON/OFF’ button for 3 seconds to activate  
the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new programme selected.  
General.  
Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash  
cycle (eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/pro-  
gress).  
Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely to  
be anything wrong!  
Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as listed  
above.  
Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage the machine.  
Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended as machine  
washable.
