Starting the washer-dryer
After installing your new washer-dryer, start a wash cycle
by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.
Starting your washer-dryer in
the right way is important for the
quality of your wash, to help
prevent future problems and
enhance life expectancy of your
appliance. Once you have
loaded your washer-dryer and
added the detergent together
with any fabric conditioner,
always check that:
1.The door is closed correctly.
2. The plug is secured in the
socket.
3. The water supply is turned
on.
4. Selector knob A is positioned
on one of the symbols (Stop/
Reset).

Remember that, in the event
of a power failure, or should
the washer-dryer switch itself
off, the programme chosen
will remain in its memory.
At the end of the wash cycle...
Lamp I will flash quickly for a few
seconds, then it will begin
flashing more slowly.
Then turn the washer-dryer off
by pressing on-off button H
(O position).You can now open
the washer-dryer door safely.
After having removed the
freshly cleaned washing, leave
the door open to allow air
circulation inside the drum.
How to eliminate the most common stains
Ink and biro Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.
Tar Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.
Wax Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with turpentine or
methyl alcohol.
Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
Mold Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then
washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.
Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk.
Nail polish Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the
garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.
Grass Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.

Easy Care and Maintenance
Treat your machine well and it will provide
many years of trouble free service
Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it in
shape.
Your washer-dryer is designed
to provide reliable service over
many years. A few simple steps
will help to prolong its life and
avoid problems. It is advisable,
to turn off water taps when the
machine is not to be used, this
protects the hoses, etc.
It is important to wash
the detergent dispenser
regularly.
To prevent dried washing
powder from
accumulating, place the
dispenser under running
water for a few minutes.
If the water in your area is too
hard, use a deliming product
(water is hard if it often leaves
Never exaggerate with doses.
Normal detergents already
contain deliming agents. Only if
the water is particularly hard,
that is, rich in lime content, do
we recommend the use of a
specific product at every wash.
A periodical wash cycle with a
dose of a deliming product,
without detergents or washing,
may prove useful.
Never use too much detergent
or additives because this could
cause an excess amount of
foam, scaling and possible
damage to the component parts
of your washer-dryer.
whitish stains around taps or
drains, especially of bath tubs.
For more accurate information as
to the type of water in your
system, call the local water
works or a local plumber).
Pockets must always be
emptied removing even pins,
badges and any other hard
object.
The washer-dryer exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap.
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can
cause damage to your washer-dryer.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The washer-dryer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance.
Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid
possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.
Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber, first
ensure that the machine has finished its programme and is empty.
Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance.
To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel situated at
the base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then
ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place
a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch
the small amount of water present. Release the cover by turning anti-
clockwise (Fig. 2). Ensure that the cover is securely replaced.

The water inlet hose
Fig. 2
Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge into
the slots and ease the top edge back into position.
Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washer-dryer,
water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
