[. . . ] Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information relating to the safe installation and operation of the appliance. Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also find the guarantee and all the details necessary for installation. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle. If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the wasdher-dryer. [. . . ] After selecting a delayed start time, the fixed symbol and the cycle duration will appear on the display. To remove the delayed start option, press the button until the display shows the text OFF; the symbol will disappear. Once the START/PAUSE button has been pressed, the time delay may only be decreased. Press the OPTION buttons to customise the wash cycle in accordance with your own requirements. €¢ Press the button to activate the option; the corresponding indicator light will switch on. €¢ Press the button again to disable the option; the indicator light will switch off. If the selected option is not compatible with the selected wash cycle, this incompatibility will be signalled by the flashing of the indicator light and a sound alert (3 beeps); the option will not be activated. If the selected option is not compatible with another option that has been selected previously, the indicator light corresponding to the first option selected will flash and only the second option will be activated; the indicator light corresponding to the button will remain lit in a constant manner. The corresponding indicator light remains lit in a fixed manner and the porthole door locks (the LOCK indicator light illuminates). 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. (*) Note: 10 minutes after the START, the machine will recalculate the time remaining until the end of the wash cycle on the basis of the load inside it; this value will then be shown on the display. In the latter case, it will not be possible to select the Cottons with pre-wash cycle. Do not use hand washing detergents because these create too much foam. Preparing the laundry • Shake out the garments before loading them into the machine. €¢ Divide the laundry according fabric type (symbol on the washing instruction label) and colour, making sure you separate the coloured garments from the white ones; • Empty all 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. This means that all washable wool garments may be washed in the Washer-dryer, even those which state “hand wash only” on the label when washed in accordance with the instructions for the wool cycle. Ultradelicates: use programme to wash very delicate garments having strasses or sequins. We recommend turning the garments inside out before washing and placing small items into the special bag for washing delicates.

[. . . ] If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open. Cleaning the pump The wasdher-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 protective prechamber at the base of the pump. 10 Trouble shooting Your wasdher-dryer could occasionally fail to work. [. . . ]
