Setting the temperature
Turn the TEMPERATURE knob 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 value set for each wash cycle.
Setting the drying cycle
Turn the DRYING 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 towel-
ling and bathrobes.
If your laundry load to be washed and dried is much gre-
ater 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 DRYING knob is in the position.
Drying only
Turn the WASH CYCLE knob to one of the drying settings (12-13-14) according to the type of fabric, then select the desired
drying duration using the DRYING knob.
Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme selector knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an automa-
tic drying cycle that allows for saving energy, thanks to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle duration.
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.
Super Wash
This option offers a high-performance wash due to the greater quantity of water used in the initial phase of the cycle, and due
to the increased wash cycle duration, is particularly useful for the removal of stubborn stains.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, .
Slow Spin
By selecting this function, reduces the spin speed.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14.
Timer Saver
If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle, thereby gua-
ranteeing simultaneous water and energy saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, , .
Eco
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 avera-
ge time of a standard cycle. For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent
! This function may not be used in conjunction with wash cycles 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, , .
By also turning the DRYING knob to the position, a drying cycle automatically activates at the end of the wash cycle that
also helps to reduce energy consumption, thanks to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle duration.
! It can be activated with programmes 4 and 5.
