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.  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
EARTHED.  
The drain hose may  
be connected to  
an under-sink trap.  
Before connecting  
the drain hose from  
the machine ensure  
that any blanks or  
removable ends have  
been taken off the  
spigot.  
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD  
BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED  
ELECTRICIAN.  
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 coloured 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 placed over  
the edge of a basin  
or sink be sure  
the free end of the  
hose should not be  
underwater.  
Removing the plug:  
If your appliance has a non-rewireable  
moulded 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  
rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of  
approval.  
! We advise against the use of hose extensions;  
in case of absolute need, the extension 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.  
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.  
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  
Cutting off the water and  
electricity supplies  
Cleaning the pump  
GB  
The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning  
pump which does not require any maintenance.  
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or  
buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which  
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.  
• 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.  
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and  
unplug the appliance.  
Cleaning the washer-dryer  
To access the pre-chamber:  
• 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.  
• The washer-dryer has a “Auto Clean”  
programme for its internal parts that must be  
run with no load in the drum.  
1. using a  
screwdriver, remove  
the cover panel on  
the lower front part of  
the washer-dryer (see  
figure);  
To help the wash cycle you may want to use  
either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the  
quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments)  
or special additives to clean the washer-  
dryer. We recommend running a cleaning  
programme every 40 wash cycles.  
2. unscrew the lid  
by rotating it anti-  
clockwise (see figure):  
a little water may  
trickle out. This is  
perfectly normal;  
To start the programme  
A
press button A for 5  
seconds (see figure).  
The programme will  
start automatically and  
will run for about 70  
minutes. To stop the  
cycle press the START/  
PAUSE button.

Precautions and tips  
! This washer-dryer was designed and constructed in  
accordance with international safety regulations. The  
following 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. Consumers  
should contact their local authority or retailer for information  
concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.  
General safety  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons  
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory  
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and  
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or  
instruction concerning 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 removers, 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,  
waterproof 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 temperature that ensures that the items will not be  
damaged.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.  
• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or  
damp hands or feet.

button; the  
GB  
START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green  
colour.  
2. LOAD THE LAUNDRY. Open the porthole door. Load  
the laundry, making sure you do not exceed the maximum  
load value indicated in the table of programmes and wash  
cycles on the following page.  
Set the desired wash intensity.  
Option  
makes it possible to optimise washing based  
on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle  
intensity.  
Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically  
set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average  
level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool”  
cycle, which is automatically set to “Delicate”).  
3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the  
detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into  
the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents  
and laundry”.

performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used  
in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum  
rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn  
stains.  
6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons:  
For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment

by pressing the button, until it is completely excluded  
button, until the cold wash “OFF” setting  
(the “OFF” setting). If these buttons are pressed again, the  
maximum values are restored.  
Setting the drying cycle  
The first time the button

automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is  
compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent  
presses will decrease the drying level and then the drying  
time, until the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”).  
Drying may be set as follows:  
A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:  
Iron “A1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing  
afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases,  
making them easier to remove.  
Hanger “A2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be  
dried fully.  
Cupboard “A3”: suitable for laundry which can be put  
back in a cupboard without being ironed.  
Extra “A4”: suitable for garments which need to be dried  
completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.  
B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180  
minutes.  
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much  
greater than the maximum stated load, perform the wash  
cycle, and when the cycle is complete, divide the garments  
into groups and put some of them back in the drum. At this  
point, follow the instructions provided for a “Drying only”  
cycle. Repeat this procedure for the remainder of the load.  
A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each  
drying cycle.  
! The options may affect the recommended load value and/  
or the duration of the cycle.

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary  
according to factors such as water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options  
selected.  
For all Test Institutes:  
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation EN 50229: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 60°C.  
2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 40°C.  
3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 6 with a temperature of 40°C.  
Wash options  
Delay Timer  
Eco  
To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the  
corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay  
period has been reached. When this option is enabled, the  
corresponding indicator light will remain lit. To remove the  
delayed start setting, press the button until the text “OFF”  
appears on the display.  
The Eco option saves energy by not heating the water  
used to wash your laundry – an advantage both to the  
environment and to your energy bill. Instead, intensified  
wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash  
results in the same average time of a standard cycle.  
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of

of whiteness caused by the possible presence of dust in the  
air. Drying cycles can only be selected on a level basis.  
Anti Allergy: use programme 7 to remove major allergens  
such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.  
Successful washing results also depend on the correct  
dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not  
necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in  
fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and  
contribute to environmental pollution.  
Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Hotpoint machine has  
been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company  
for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable  
provided that the garments are washed according to the  
instructions on the garment label and those issued by the  
manufacturer of this washer-dryer. Hotpoint is the first  
washer-dryer brand to be approved by The Woolmark  
Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing  
performance and consumption of energy and water.

poured into the compartment 1.  
Delicates: use programme 9 to wash very delicate  
garments with decorative features, such as diamantes and  
sequins.  
compartment 1: Detergent for the wash cycle  
(powder or liquid)  
If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the  
removable plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper  
dosage.  
If powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.  
compartment 2: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)  
The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.  
To wash silk garments and curtains select the cycle 9 and  
set the “Delicate” level from option  
.
We recommend turning the garments inside out before  
washing and placing small items into the special bag  
for washing delicates. Use liquid detergent on delicate  
garments for best results.  
When selecting an exclusively time-based drying function,  
a drying cycle is performed at the end of the wash cycle  
that is particularly delicate, thanks to light handling and  
appropriate temperature control of the water jet.  
The recommended durations are:  
Preparing the laundry  
• Divide the laundry according to:  
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label  
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 150 min  
1 kg of synthetic and cotton garments --> 180 min  
1 kg of cotton garments --> 180 min  
The degree of dryness depends on the load and fabric  
composition.  
Ready to Wear: select programme 11 for washing and  
drying lightly soiled garments (Cotton and Synthetic) in a  
short time. This cycle may be used to wash and dry a  
laundry load of up to 1 kg in just 45 minutes.  
To achieve optimum results, use liquid detergent and pre-  
treat cuffs, collars and stains.  
- 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 900-1,200 g  
1 towel 150-250 g  
Load balancing system  
Special wash cycles  
Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations  
before every spin 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 balance, we recommend  
small and large garments are mixed in the load.  
Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled  
garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class  
that is higher than the standard class (A class).  
When running the programme, do not mix garments of  
different colours. We recommend the use of powder  
detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is  
recommended if there are obstinate stains.  
Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The  
programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white  
clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.  
If the drying function is selected, a drying cycle automatically  
activates at the end of the wash cycle that resembles open-  
air drying, with the added advantages of preserving garments

Troubleshooting  
Your washer-dryer could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”), make  
sure that the problem cannot be solved easily using the following list.  
GB  
Problem:  
The machine does not switch on.  
Possible causes / Solutions:  
• 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 fill with  
water or ‘H20’ flashes in the  
display.  
• The water inlet hose is kinked.  
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply.  
• 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  
water and continually drains away  
or Water left in the drum  
or Stuck on wash.  
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 machine does spin.  
• The Spin Speed is set to “OFF”.  
The 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).  
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.  
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.  
• There has been a power failure.  
The washer-dryer does not dry.  
• The appliance door is not shut properly.  
• A DELAY TIMER has been set.  
• DRYING is in the OFF position.

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 are flash  
rapidly and an error code appears  
on the display (eg F-01, F-..).  
• 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  
detergent 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.  
• If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual unlocking  
procedure.  
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 washer-dryers’ 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 washer-dryer contains sensors that monitor progress during the wash cycle  
(eg: Water Levels, Temperatures, Out of Balance loads, Wash time/progress).  
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.
