Instructions for use

WASHER-DRYER

Installation

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with

stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting

during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose

carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow

enough room for ventilation beneath the washing

machine.

Electric and ater connections

Connecting the ater inlet hose

1. Connect the supply

pipe by screwing it to a

cold water tab using a

3/4 gas threaded

connection (see figure).

Before performing the

connection, allow the

water to run freely until

it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end

of the water inlet hose to

the washing machine,

screwing it onto the

appliance's cold water

inlet, situated on the top

right-hand side on the

rear of the appliance (see

figure).

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

!The water pressure at the tap must be within the

values indicated in the Technical details table

(on the next page).

!If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact

a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

!Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water

through. Old taps may seize in the closed position

and thus prevent water reaching the machine.

!Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

future reference. Should the appliance be sold,

transferred or moved, make sure the instruction

manual accompanies the washing machine to inform

the new owner as to its operation and features.

!Read these instructions carefully: they contain

vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

! This a part of the

polystirene base and

should have stayed

intact when you

removed the base.

! IMPORTANT check

hen unpacking your

machine.

1. Unpack the washing machine.

2. Check whether the washing machine has been

damaged during transport. If this is the case, do

not install it and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 4

protective screws and

the rubber bush with the

respective spacer,

situated on the rear of

the appliance (see also

the installation leaflet).

4. Do not remove external bar.

5. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

6. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the

washing machine needs to be moved to another

location.

!Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise

if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.

1. Install the washing

machine on a flat sturdy

floor, without resting it

up against walls, furniture

cabinets or other.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for

any unevenness by tightening or loosening the

adjustable front feet (see figure); the angle of

inclination, measured according to the worktop,

must not exceed 2°.

_the supply voltage is included within the values

indicated on the Technical details table

(see page 5);

_the socket is compatible with the washing

machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace

the socket or the plug.

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.

WARNIN - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

THE FOLLOWIN 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative

plug:

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured

in accordance with the following code:

Green & Yello Earth

Blue Neutral

Bro n Live

65 - 100 cm

Where it connects to

the waste water pipe

cut end off spigot or

remove the blanking cap

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain

hose, without bending

it, to a draining duct or

a wall drain situated

between 65 and 100 cm

from the floor;

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.

If it is place over the

edge of a basin or sink

be sure the free end

of the hose should not

be underwater.

! 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.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains

socket, make sure that:

_the socket is earthed and in compliance with

the applicable law;

_the socket is able to sustain the appliance's

maximum power load indicated in the Technical

details table (see page 5);

As the colours of the wires in the lead may not

correspond with the coloured markings identifyng

the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect reen & Yellow wire to terminal marked E

or or coloured reen or reen & Yellow.

Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or

coloured Red.

Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured

Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted

with a

13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the

distribution board.

If you are in any doubt the electrical supply to your

machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

How to connect an alternative plug:

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

BLUE NEUTRAL (N)

BROWN LIVE (L)

(*) Ready to Wear

This cycle was designed to wash and dry lightly soiled small loads quickly. By selecting this cycle it is possible to

wash and dry a maximum load of 1 kg in just 60 minutes.

Please note, this is an automatically programmed wash and dry cycle, therefore it is not possible to manually

set a drying time or drying level in conjunction with this cycle.

Please note, the Drying indicator illuminates only during the drying phase of the cycle, not when the cycle is

first selected.

Personalisation

Setting the temperature

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to set the wash temperature (see able 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 value set for each wash cycle.

Setting the drying cycle

Turn the DRYIN knob to set the desired drying type.

Two options are available:

A - Based on time: from 40 to 180 minutes.

B - Based on the how damp the clothes are once they have

been dried:

Iron : slightly damp clothes, easy to iron.

Hanger : dry clothes to put away.

Cupboard : very dry clothes, recommended for towelling

and bathrobes.

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.

N.B: when the drying is complete there is a cooling period, even though the DRYIN knob is in the position.

Drying only

Turn the WASH CYCLE knob to one of the drying settings (11-12-13) according to the type of fabric, then

select the desired drying duration using the DRYIN knob.

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.

Slo Spin (1200-600)

By selecting this function, reduces the spin speed.

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, C.

Mini load

This function is recommended for when the load of laundry is equal to half, or less than half, of the maximum

recommended load (see able of wash cycles).

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 8, 11, 12, 13, B, C.

Extra rinse

By selecting this function, the efficiency of the rinse is increased and optimal detergent removal is

guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 8, 11, 12, 13, B, C.

Super Wash

Because a greater quantity of water is used in the initial phase of the cycle, and because of the increased

cycle duration, this function offers a high-performance wash.

 This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, A, B, C.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser dra er

ood 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 a build up on the inside of your appliance

and contribute to environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents because

these create too much foam.

Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and

pour in the detergent or

washing additive, as

follows.

! Do not pour detergent into the middle compartment (*).

Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 1.

compartment 1: Detergent for the ash

cycle (po der or liquid)

For best results liquid detergent should be poured

in the dispenser immediately before the start of

the programme.

compartment 2: 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 listed values, which refer to

the weight of the laundry when dry:

Durable fabrics: max. 7 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max. 3 kg

Delicate fabrics: max. 2 kg

Wool: max. 1,5 kg

Ho much does your laundry eigh?

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

Garments requiring special care

Baby cycle: this wash cycle 6 can be used to

remove the soiling typically caused by babies, while

ensuring that all detergent is removed from

nappies in order to prevent the delicate skin of

babies from suffering allergies. The cycle has been

designed to reduce the amount of bacteria by using

a greater quantity of water and optimising the

effect of special disinfecting additives added to the

detergent.

At the end of the wash cycle, the machine will slowly

rotate the drum to prevent the formation of

creases; to end the cycle press the START/PAUSE

button.

Shirts: use special wash cycle 7 to wash shirts in

various fabrics and colours.

It guarantees maximum care is taken of the

garments and minimises the formation of creases.

Wool: Hotpoint is the only Washer-dryer

manufacturer to have been awarded the

prestigious Woolmark Platinum Care endorsement

(M.0508) by the Woolmark Company, which means

that all woollen garments may be washed in the

Washer-dryer, even those which state hand wash

only on the label. Wash cycle 9 therefore offers

complete peace of mind when washing woollen

garments in the Washer-dryer (max. load 1,5 kg) and

guarantees optimal performance.

Silk: use special wash cycle 10 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 10.

Load balancing system

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 per-

forms the distribution process instead of spinning.

To encourage improved load distribution and balance,

we recommend small and large garments are mixed

in the load.
