Setting the temperature
Press the TEMPERATURE button to set the wash temperature (see Table of wash cycles). The temperature may be lowered, or even set
to a cold wash . The washer-dryer will automatically prevent you from selecting a temperature which is higher than the maximum.
Setting the drying cycle
Note: if all the drying indicator lights remain unlit, the
machine will not perform the drying cycle.
Press the DRYING button to select the desired drying
option. There are two options:
A - Based on time: 60 and 180 (Max. 4 kg).
B - Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron dry : suitable for clothes which will need ironing
afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases,
making them easier to remove.
Hanger dry : ideal for clothes which do not need to be
dried fully.
Cupboard dry : suitable for laundry which can be put
back in a cupboard without being ironed.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much
greater than the maximum stated load (see adjacent table), 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.
Drying only
Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle (11-12-13) in accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level
or time may also be set using the DRYING button.
Functions
The various wash functions available with this washer-dryer will help to achieve the desired results, every time.
To activate the functions:
1. Press the button corresponding to the desired function;
2. the function is enabled when the corresponding indicator light is illuminated.
Note: If the indicator light flashes rapidly, this signals that this particular function may not be selected in conjunction with the
selected wash cycle.
The “PRIME” technology optimises energy, water and time consumption according to the quantity of garments actually inserted in the
machine. Moreover, pressing the
button allows for selecting the following options:
- Water: allows for reducing water consumption without having to renounce impeccable results (recommended for heavily
soiled garments).
- Energy: automatically selected by “PRIME”, this option reduces energy consumption (recommended for normally soiled garments).
- Time: allows for reducing wash cycle duration (recommended for lightly soiled garments).
! This may only be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 3, 4 (all three levels) and 5, 6 (Energy and Time levels).
Easy iron
By selecting this function, the wash and spin cycles will be modified in order to reduce the formation of creases. At the end of
the cycle the washer-dryer will perform slow rotations of the drum, while the EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will
flash (blue and orange respectively) and the led will remain lit in a fixed manner. To end the cycle, press the START/PAUSE
button or the EASY IRON button. For wash cycle number 8, the machine will end the cycle while the laundry is soaking; the
EASY IRON and START/PAUSE indicator lights will flash. To end the cycle so that the laundry may be removed, press the
START/PAUSE button or the EASY IRON button.
! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, , .
Note: If you also want to run the drying cycle, this option is enabled only if combined with level .
Cool Wash
The Cool Wash function 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 a liquid detergent.
! It cannot be used in conjunction with wash cycles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, , , .
Spin (1200-600)
By selecting this function, reduces the spin speed.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 11, 12, 13, .
