Your New Washer-Dryer  
Your new washer-dryer meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with  
low water, energy and detergent consumption.  
Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated  
automatically according to the load and type of fabric.  
Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C  
Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin  
before draining, with the 95°C programme. This  
reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent  
creasing.

shorter the drying times.  
The special WOOL programme with its new  
delicate wash system treats your woollens with  
extreme care.

of the environment

are  
The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and  
reduces water consumption so saving energy.  
Check with your local Council or Environmental  
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area  
for re-cycling this appliance.  
The two drying programmes will give your wash  
that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.  
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the  
power supply cable and make the door lock device  
unusable to prevent young children from being  
trapped inside.  
Ecological hints  
To save water and energy and help protect the  
environment, we recommend that you follow these  
hints:

disposal sites for your old appliance.  
Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the

indicates that this product may not be treated as  
household waste. Instead it should be taken to the  
appropriate collection point for the recycling of  
electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this  
product is disposed of correctly, you will help  
prevent potential negative consequences for the  
environment and human health, which could  
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling  
of this product. For more detailed information about  
recycling of this product, please contact your local  
council, your household waste disposal service or the  
shop where you purchased the product.  
Select an “economy” programme for lightly soiled  
laundry.  
A programme without prewash is sufficient for  
normally soiled laundry.  
The machine works more economically if it is fully  
loaded both for washing and drying cycles.  
With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited  
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be  
washed at a lower temperature.  
How do we help to protect the environment?  
We use recycled paper!  
Important  
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.  
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, it is because it is not evenly  
distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the  
wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something  
Not Working".

Therefore we recommend that you use approximately  
1/3 less than the detergent manufacturer recommends on  
the packet or bottle, making the appropriate allowances  
for soft or hard water, and light or heavy soilage of  
clothes. If you have judged the amount correctly you  
should expect to see a soft sudsy liquid during the wash.  
It is not necessary to have a head of lather on the water.  
Before the first wash we recommend that you pour 2  
litres of water into the main wash compartment of the

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

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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
the machine immediately upon placing the  
detergent in the dispenser drawer.  
WHITES  
We recommend the Ariel product  
range which is biological and  
designed to provide excellent  
cleaning and stain removal even  
at low temperatures.  
, start  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,  
please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed  
before carrying out a drying programme.  
DELICATE ITEMS  
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:  
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.  
For example Lenor liquid fabric  
softener, for use in the washing  
machine/washer dryer. The  
liquid fabric softener should be  
poured into the compartment  
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.

Important Notes  
For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for  
dispensing detergents and liquid additives.  
Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it  
in gently. This is particularly important if you are using  
fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the  
machine prematurely.  
When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme,  
place the detergent into the correct compartment in the  
dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you  
must DISCONNECT the 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,  
P0009  
P0010  
and according to the softening powder manufacturer's  
instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of  
lime deposits.  
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.  
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.  
P0038  
To run a maintenance wash:  
Cleaning the filter  
The water drain filter  
The drum should be empty of laundry.  
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.  
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of  
the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every  
washing and drying programme.  
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a  
powder (such as Ariel Futur).  
Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage. If  
the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain  
you will need to drain the water manually from the  
machine at this stage. To do this, unhook the drain hose  
from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose  
over a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by  
gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the  
hose back up and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure  
until water stops flowing out.  
External cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap  
and water only, 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.  
P0037  
20  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Unscrew and remove the filter.  
The dangers of freezing  
Clean carefully under a fast running tap.  
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,  
certain precautions should be taken.  
Turn off the water tap.  
Unscrew the inlet hose.  
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and  
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet  
hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme.  
Disconnect the appliance.  
P0040  
P0039  
Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.  
When you intend to start the machine up again,  
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.  
Warning  
When the appliance is in use and depending on the  
programme selected there can be hot water in the filter.  
Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always  
wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is  
empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely  
retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being  
able to remove it.  
Emergency emptying out  
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to  
empty out the machine:  
pull out the plug from the power socket;  
close the water tap;  
if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;  
The water inlet filter  
Unscrew and remove the filter;  
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime  
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.  
place a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by  
gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, empty  
the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops  
flowing out;  
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.  
clean the filter if necessary as previously described;  
screw the filter again.  
Tighten up the inlet hose.  
Important!  
Every time you drain the water through the emergency  
emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the  
main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and  
then run the drain programme. This will activate the  
ECO valve avoiding that part of the detergent remains  
unused at next washing.

Something Not Working  
Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out  
an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.  
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or  
installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.  
During machine operation it is possible that an alarm code appears on the display:

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too  
much foam).  
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It  
is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to  
see if it is damp.  
The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.  
The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.  
The drainage system pipes are blocked.  
The filter has not fully screwed in.  
Unsatisfactory washing results  
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An  
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and

Symptom  
Possible causes  
The machine vibrates when spinning  
The internal packing has not been removed.  
The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.  
The machine is not level.  
The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.  
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.  
The door will not open  
The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.  
The machine is heating the water or drying the clothes.  
The drum is turning.  
Spinning starts late or the machine  
does not spin  
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the  
laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is  
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several  
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.  
If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the  
drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load  
manually and select the spin programme.  
The machine makes an unusual  
noise  
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual  
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures  
a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum  
when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.  
No water is visible in the drum  
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically  
using very little water without affecting performance.

b) Hinges  
P0965  
To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes  
(dia. 35 mm, depth 12.5-14 mm depending on the depth  
of door furniture) on the inner side of the door. The  
distance between the holes hobs fixing centres must be  
416 mm.  
The distance (B) from upper edge of the door to the  
centre of the hole depends on the adjacent furniture's  
dimensions.  
When installing the appliance into the kitchen furniture  
ensure, if possible, the hoses are placed in either of the  
two recesses on the back of the appliance. This will help  
to prevent the hoses from becoming kinked or trapped.  
Picture AB.  
The required dimensions are given in the picture C.  
The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws  
for wood (2-Fig. B) supplied with the appliance.  
c) Mounting the door  
Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of the  
M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to  
compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door.  
To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the  
screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw  
again.  
Preparation and assembly of the door  
The machine is originally pre-arranged for the assembly  
of a door opening from right to left.  
d) Counter-magnet (6)  
In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges (1) and  
the counter-magnet (6) provided with the appliance, at  
the right level (Fig. B).  
The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of  
the door. To enable a correct operation of this device, it  
is necessary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk  
+ rubber ring) into the inner side of the door.  
Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the  
appliance (see picture D).

If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert the  
position of the plates (7), the magnet (4) and the plate  
(5) (Fig. B and E). Mount the countermagnet (6) and the  
hinges (1) as previously described.  
Position the base into the recess with its front edge as  
far forward as the adjoining plinth line will allow.  
The reason for placing the base in this position is to  
allow a small strip of beading to be fitted in front of  
the appliance feet.

Recommendations regarding the  
construction and fitting of a base  
when the installation requires an  
integrated appliance to be raised  
Where the appliance has been raised by mounting onto  
a wooden base provided by the installer. The material  
used to construct the base should have a non slip  
surface, be water repellent and if possible be one solid  
piece.  
H
With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring  
the machine is stable, and a clearance of approximately  
5 mm is left between the top of the machine and the  
underside of the worktop.  
A final check for stability should be carried out with the  
machine on spin with a load, this will identify the need  
for any further fine adjustment to the feet.  
If it is not possible to use one solid piece, due to the  
additional height required, ensure that any additional  
strips of timber are glued and screwed to the underside  
of the base (see Fig. F).  
A strip of beading approximately 605 mm W, x 5 mm  
H, x 25 mm D must be screwed down into the base  
directly in front of the machine’s feet, this will provide  
additional security.  
If required an additional door magnet, part number  
1242394-00/3 and disc, part number 1242393-00/5 are  
available from spare parts.
