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 button, until the cold

wash “OFF” setting is reached. The spin speed may be

progressively reduced by pressing the button, until it is

completely excluded “OFF”. If these buttons are pressed

again, the maximum values are restored.

! Exception: if the “Cottons” programme is selected, the

temperature can be increased up to a value of 90°C.

Setting the drying cycle

The first time the button is pressed, the machine will

automatically select the maximum drying cycle which is

compatible with the selected wash cycle. Subsequent presses

will decrease the drying level and then the drying time, until

the cycle is excluded completely (“OFF”). If these buttons are

pressed again, the maximum values are restored.

Drying may be set as follows:

A - Based on a set time period: between 20 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 (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.

A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each

drying cycle.

Drying only

Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle ( - - )

in accordance with the type of fabric. The desired drying level or

time may also be set using the DRYING button .

Setting a delayed start.

To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the

corresponding button repeatedly until the required delay period

has been reached. During the setting procedure, the delay period

and the text “Starts in”: will be displayed, along with the

flashing symbol. After the delayed start has been set,

the symbol will remain fixed on the display, which will

also indicate the duration of the selected cycle with the text

“Ends in”: and the cycle duration. Press the DELAYED START

button just once to display the delay time set previously. After the

countdown has begun, the display will show the text “Starts in”:

and the delay period. Once the set delay time has elapsed,

the machine will begin its cycle and the display will show

“Ends in”: and the time remaining until the end of the cycle. To

remove the delayed start option, press the button until the display

shows the text OFF; the symbol will disappear.

Modify the cycle settings.

• Press the button to activate the option; the name

of the option will then appear on the display and the

corresponding indicator light will illuminate.

• Press the button again to deactivate the option; the

name of the option will then appear on the display

followed by the text OFF, and the corresponding

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 options may affect the recommended load value and/

or the duration of the cycle.

7. START THE PROGRAMME. Press the START/PAUSE

button. The corresponding indicator light remains lit in a fixed

manner and the porthole door locks (the DOOR LOCKED

indicator light illuminates). The icons corresponding to the wash

cycle phases will light up during the cycle to indicate which

phase is currently in progress. To change a wash cycle once

it has already started, pause the washer-dryer by pressing the

START/PAUSE button; then select the desired cycle and press

the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door during a

wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button; if the DOOR

LOCKED indicator light is switched off you may open the

door. Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash

cycle from the point at which it was interrupted.

8. THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE. This is indicated by

the illuminated text END. The porthole door may be opened

immediately. If the START/PAUSE indicator light is flashing,

press the button to end the cycle. Open the door, unload

the laundry and switch off the machine.

! If you wish to cancel a cycle which has already begun, press and

hold the button until the cycle stops and the machine switches off.
