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 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 DRYING 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 DRYING 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.
1400-600
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 Table 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.
