Installation
EN
! This instruction manual should be kept in a
safe place for future reference. If the Washerdryer is sold, given away or moved, please
ensure the manual is kept with the machine,
so that the new owner may benefit from the
advice contained within it.
! 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 Washer-dryer.
Unpacking and levelling
! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water
supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear.
Unpacking
1. Once you have removed all the packaging
from the Washer-dryer, make sure it has not
been damaged during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer
and do not proceed any further with the
installation process.
2. Remove the 4
protective screws
(used during
transportation) and
the corresponding
spacer, located on
the rear part of the
appliance (see figure).
3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs
supplied in the pack.
4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will
be needed again if the Washer-dryer is moved
to another location, to prevent the inside of the
appliance being damaged.
! Packaging materials should not be used as
toys for children.
Levelling
1. Place the Washerdryer on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting
it up against walls or
cabinets.
2. If the floor is
uneven, the front feet
of the machine may
be adjusted until it
reaches a horizontal
position (the angle of
inclination must not exceed 2 degrees).

Connecting the electricity and
water supplies
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the inlet
hose to the machine
by screwing it onto
the cold water inlet of
the appliance, which
is situated on the top
right-hand side of
the rear part of the
appliance (see figure).
2. Connect the inlet
hose by screwing it
to a cold water tap
using a 3/4 threaded
connection (see
figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over
or bent.
! The water pressure at the tap must fall within
the values indicated in the Technical data table
(see next page).
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialised shop or an authorised technician.
! Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses;
use the products supplied with the machine.
Connecting the drain hose
65 - 100 cm
Connect the drain
hose, without bending
it, to a drainage duct
or a wall drain located
at a height between
65 and 100 cm from

Care and maintenance
EN
Cutting off the water and
electricity supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in
the machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the machine
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.

To remove the drawer,
press lever (1) and pull
the drawer outwards (2)
(see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this procedure
should be repeated
frequently.
Caring for your appliance drum
• Always leave the door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The Washer-dryer is fitted with a selfcleaning pump which does not require any
maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such
as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective
pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:
1
2
1. take off the cover panel on the front of the
machine by first pressing it in the centre and
then pushing downwards on both sides until
you can remove it (see figures);
2. position a container
so that it will collect the
water which flows out
(approximately 1.5 l)
(see figure);
3. unscrew the lid by
rotating it in an anticlockwise direction (see
figure);
4. clean the inside thoroughly;
5. screw the lid back on;
6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks
are securely in place before you push it onto
the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. 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.
Precautions and tips
! The machine was designed and constructed in
accordance with international safety regulations. The
following information is provided for safety reasons and
must therefore be read carefully.
General safety
• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• This appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
– 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.
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.
• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber or similar elastomers.
• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during the drying cycles.
• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away from the appliance unless continuou-
sly supervised.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
•This machine must not be operated in a non airconditioned environment.
Disposal
• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states
that household appliances should not be disposed of
using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted
appliances should be collected separately in order to
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials
inside the machine, while preventing potential damage
to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out
dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner
of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.
For more information relating to the correct disposal of

How to run a wash cycle or a
drying cycle
EN
WARNING: before you use the Washer-dryer for the first time,
run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, using the 90°
cottons cycle without pre-wash.
1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the button. All
the indicator lights will illuminate for 1 second and the text
AQUALTIS will appear on the display; the indicator light
corresponding to the button will then remain lit in a constant
manner and the START/PAUSE indicator light will flash.
2. SELECT THE PROGRAMME. Turn the PROGRAMME
KNOB left or right, until the required programme has been
selected; the name of the programme will appear on the
display. A temperature and spin speed is set for each
programme; these may be adjusted. The cycle duration will
also appear on the display.
3. 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 wash cycles on the following page.
4. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the detergent
dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into the relevant
compartments as described in “Description of the machine”.
5. CLOSE THE PORTHOLE DOOR.
6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant
buttons on the control panel:
Modify the temperature and/or spin speed.
The machine automatically displays the maximum temperature
and spin speed values set for the selected cycle, or the most
recently-used settings if they are compatible with the selected
cycle. The temperature can be decreased by pressing the

Drying may be set as follows:
A - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180 minutes.
B- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:
Iron: suitable for clothes which will need ironing afterwards.
the remaining dampness softens creases, making them
easier to remove.
Hanger: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.
Cupboard: suitable for laundry which can be put back in a
cupboard without being ironed.
Extra: suitable for garments which need to be dried
completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.
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

rotate slowly; the “Easy Iron” and START/PAUSE indicator
lights will flash. To end the cycle press the START/PAUSE
button or the “Easy Iron” button.
Note: If you also want to run the drying cycle, this option is
enabled only if combined with level “Iron”.
Time Saver
If you select this option, the wash cycle duration will be
reduced by up to 50%, depending on the selected cycle,
thereby guaranteeing simultaneous water and energy
saving. Use this cycle for lightly soiled garments.
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.
Extra rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency of the rinse is
increased and optimal residual detergent removal is
guaranteed. It is particularly useful for skin which is
sensitive to detergents. We recommend this option is used
with a full load of washing, or when a large amount of
detergent is required.
Easy Iron
By selecting this option, 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 drum will

Detergent
The type and quantity of detergent required depend on
the type of fabric you are washing (cotton, wool, silk, etc.),
as well as its colour, the washing temperature, the level of
soiling and the hardness of the water in the area.
Measuring out the detergent carefully will avoid wastage
and help to protect the environment: although they are
biodegradable, detergents still contain ingredients which
alter the balance of nature.
We recommend the following:
• use powder detergents for white cotton garments and
pre-washing.
• use liquid detergents for delicate cotton garments and
for all low-temperature wash cycles.
• use gentle liquid detergents for wool and silk garments.
The detergent should be poured into the relevant
compartment - or the dispenser placed directly inside the
drum - before the wash cycle begins. 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.

Washing recommendations
Whites: use this cycle
to wash white clothes. The
programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white
clothes over time.
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 from yellowing due to sunlight
exposure and preventing loss of whiteness caused by the
possible presence of dust in the air. Drying cycles can only
be selected on a level basis.
Coloureds: use this cycle
to wash bright coloured
clothes. The programme is designed to maintain bright
colours over time.
Darks: Use cycle
to wash dark-coloured garments.
This programme is designed to maintain dark colours over
time. We recommend using a liquid detergent for the best
results when washing dark-coloured garments.
When you select the drying function, at the end of the washing
cycle the machine will automatically perform a delicate drying
cycle that preserves the colours of the garments. The display
will show the level “Iron”. Max. load: 3 kg.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:
the wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by
The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool garments
labelled as “hand wash” provided that the garments
are washed according to the instructions issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine. Follow the garment
care label for drying and other laundry instructions.
(M1135)
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. 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:
1 kg of synthetic garments --> 160 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.
To wash Silk garments and Curtains select cycle
and
then option
; the machine will end the cycle while the
laundry is soaking and the
indicator light will flash. To
drain the water so that the laundry may be removed, press
the START/PAUSE button or the
button.
Anti Allergy: use programme to remove major
allergens such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.
Wash&Dry: select programme
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.
Stubborn stains: it is wise to treat stubborn stains with
solid soap before washing, and to use the Cottons with
pre-wash cycle.
Load balancing system
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.
