Installation

! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe

place for future reference. If the washer-dryer is

sold, transferred or moved, make sure that the

instruction manual remains with the machine so

that the new owner is able to familiarise himself/

herself with its operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they contain

vital information relating to the safe installation

and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the washer-dryer from its packaging.

2. Make sure that the washer-dryer has not been

damaged during the transportation process. If it

has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not

proceed any further with the installation process.

3 . R e m o v e t h e 4

protective screws (used

during transportation)

and the rubber washer

with the corresponding

spacer, located on the

rear part of the appliance

(see figure).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs

provided.

5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will

need them again if the washer-dryer needs to

be moved to another location.

! Packaging materials should not be used as

toys for children.

Levelling

1. Install the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor,

without resting it up against walls, furniture

cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not

p e r f e c t l y l e v e l ,

c o m p e n s a t e f o r

any unevenness by

tightening or loosening

the adjustable front

feet (see figure); the

angle of inclination,

measured in relation to

the worktop, must not

exceed 2°.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide it with

stability, help to avoid vibrations and excessive

noise and prevent it from shifting while it is

operating. 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.

Connecting the electricity and

water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the inlet

hose by screwing it to

a cold water tap using

a 3/4 gas threaded

connection (see figure).

Before performing the

connection, allow the

water to run freely until

it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the inlet

hose to the washer-

dryer by screwing it

onto the corresponding

water inlet of the

appliance, which is

situated on the top

right-hand side of

the rear part of the

appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over

or bent.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within

the range of 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 hoses.

! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

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 the floor;

alternatively, rest it on

the side of a washbasin

or bathtub, fastening

the duct supplied to

the tap (see figure).

The free end of the

hose should not be

underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions;

if it is absolutely necessary, the extension must

have the same diameter as the original hose and

must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains

socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and in compliance with

the applicable law;

• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s

maximum power load indicated on the

Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine;

Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity

supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside

the washer-dryer and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplug the washer-dryer when cleaning it and

during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washer-dryer

• 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.

• The washer-dryer has a “Auto Clean”

programme for its internal parts that must be

run with no load in the drum.

To help the wash cycle you may want to use

either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the

quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments)

or special additives to clean the washer-dryer.

We recommend running a cleaning programme

every 40 wash cycles.

To start the programme press button A for 5

seconds (see figure).

The programme will start automatically and will

run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press

the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

Remove the dispenser

by raising it and pulling

it out (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this operation

should be repeated

frequently.

Caring for the door and drum of

your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to

prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washer-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 pre-chamber which protects the

pump, situated in its bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and

unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel

on the lower front part

of the washer-dryer

(see figure);

2. unscrew the lid

by rotating it anti-

clockwise (see figure):

a little water may trickle

out. This is perfectly

normal;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. 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.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

How to run a wash cycle or a

drying cycle

1. SWITCH THE MACHINE ON. Press the button; the

START/PAUSE indicator light will flash slowly in a green colour.

2. 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 programmes and wash

cycles on the following page.

3. MEASURE OUT THE DETERGENT. Pull out the

detergent dispenser drawer and pour the detergent into

the relevant compartments as described in “Detergents

and laundry”.

4. CLOSE THE DOOR.

5. SELECT THE WASH CYCLE. Use the WASH CYCLE

SELECTOR knob to select the desired wash cycle. A

temperature and spin speed is set for each wash cycle;

these values may be adjusted. The duration of the cycle will

appear on the display.

6. CUSTOMISE THE WASH CYCLE. Use the relevant buttons:

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

(the “OFF” setting). If these buttons are pressed again, the

maximum values are restored.

! Exception: if the

4

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”).

Drying may be set as follows:

A- Based on the desired laundry dryness level:

Iron “A1”: suitable for clothes which will need ironing

afterwards. the remaining dampness softens creases,

making them easier to remove.

Hanger “A2”: ideal for clothes which do not need to be dried fully.

Cupboard “A3”: suitable for laundry which can be put

back in a cupboard without being ironed.

Extra “A4”: suitable for garments which need to be dried

completely, such as sponges and bathrobes.

B - Based on a set time period: between 30 and 180

minutes.

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

drying cycle.

Drying only

Use the cycle selector knob to select a drying cycle (12-13-14)

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

time may also be set using the DRYING button .

Selecting the cotton drying cycle through the programme

selector knob and pressing the “Eco” button activates an

automatic drying cycle that allows for saving energy, thanks

to an optimal combination of air temperature and cycle

duration; the display will visualise the “A2” dryness level.

Set the desired wash intensity.

Option makes it possible to optimise washing based

on the level of soil in the fabrics and on desired wash cycle

intensity.

Select the wash programme: the cycle will be automatically

set to “Normal” as optimised for garments with an average

level of soil (this setting is not applicable to the “Wool”

cycle, which is automatically set to “Delicate”).

For heavily-soiled garments press button until the

“Intensive” level is reached. This level ensures a high-

performance wash due to a larger quantity of water used

in the initial phase of the cycle and due to increased drum

rotation. It is useful when removing the most stubborn stains.

It can be used with or without bleach. If you desire bleaching,

insert the extra tray compartment (4) into compartment 1.

When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the

“max” level marked on the central pivot (see figure pag. 12).

For lightly-soiled garments or a more delicate treatment

of the fabrics, press button until the “Delicate” level

is reached. The cycle will reduce drum rotation to ensure

washing results that are perfect for delicate garments.

Modify the cycle settings.

• Press the button to enable the option; the indicator light

corresponding to the button 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 set wash

cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not be

activated.

! If the selected option is not compatible with a previously

selected one, the indicator light corresponding to the first

function selected will flash and only the second option will

be activated; the indicator light for the option which has been

activated will be illuminated.

! The options may affect the recommended load value and/

or the duration of the cycle.

7. START THE WASH CYCLE. Press the START/PAUSE

button. The corresponding indicator light will turn green,

remaining lit in a fixed manner, and the door will be locked (the

DOOR LOCKED symbol will be lit). To change a wash

cycle while it is in progress, pause the washer-dryer using the

START/PAUSE button (the START/PAUSE indicator light will

flash slowly in an amber colour); then select the desired cycle

and press the START/PAUSE button again. To open the door

while a cycle is in progress, press the START/PAUSE button; if

the DOOR LOCKED symbol is switched off the door may

be opened. 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 will be indicated

by the text “END” on the display; when the DOOR LOCKED

symbol switches off the door may be opened. 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. The cycle will be stopped and the

machine will switch off.

Wash options

! If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash

cycle, the indicator light will flash and the option will not

! If the selected option is not compatible with a previously

selected one, the indicator light corresponding to the first

function selected will flash and only the second option will

be activated; the indicator light for the option which has

been activated will be illuminated.

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 average time of a standard cycle.

For the best washing results we recommend the usage of

a liquid detergent

By selecting the drying function as well, an automatic

drying cycle automatically activates at the end of the wash

cycle – it too allows for saving energy, thanks to the optimal

combination of air temperature and cycle duration.

Table of programmes and wash cycles

The length of cycle shown on the display or in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. 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.

Detergents and laundry

Detergent dispenser drawer

Successful washing results also depend on the correct

dose of detergent: adding too much detergent will not

necessarily result in a more efficient wash, and may in

fact cause build up on the inside of your appliance and

contribute to environmental pollution.

! Do not use hand washing detergents; they create too

much foam.

Open the detergent

dispenser drawer and pour

in the detergent or washing

additive, as follows.

compartment 1: Pre-

wash detergent (powder)

Before pouring in the

detergent, make sure that

extra compartment 4 has

been removed.

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

If liquid detergent is used, it is recommended that the removable

plastic partition A (supplied) be used for proper dosage. If

powder detergent is used, place the partition into slot B.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)

The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.

extra compartment 4: Bleach

Preparing the laundry

• Divide the laundry according to:

- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label

- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

• Empty all garment 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.

How much does your laundry weigh?

1 sheet 400-500 g

1 pillow case 150-200 g

1 tablecloth 400-500 g

1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g

1 towel 150-250 g

Special wash cycles

Anti Stain: the programme 1 is suitable to heavily-soiled

garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class

that is higher than the standard class (A class).

When running the programme, do not mix garments of

different colours. We recommend the use of powder

detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is

recommended if there are obstinate stains.

Whites: use this cycle 2 to wash white clothes. The

programme is designed to maintain the brightness of white

clothes over time. Use powder detergent for best results.

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.

Anti allergy: use programme 7 to remove major allergens

such as pollen, mites, cat’s and dog’s hair.

Wool: the wool wash cycle on this Ariston machine has

been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company

for washing wool garments labelled as hand washable

provided that the garments are washed according to the

instructions on the garment label and those issued by the

manufacturer of this washing machine. Ariston is the first

washing machine brand to be approved by The Woolmark

Company for Apparel Care- Platinum for its washing

performance and consumption of energy and water.

(M1127)

.

Delicates: use programme 9 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 --> 150 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 the cycle 9 and

set the “Delicate” level from option .

Wash&Dry select programme 11 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.

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.

Troubleshooting

Your washer-dryer could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service (see “ Service”), make

sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The washer-dryer does not switch

on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washer-dryer does not fill

with water (the text “H2O” flashes

on the display).

The washer-dryer continuously

takes in and drains water.

The washer-dryer does not drain

or spin.

The washer-dryer vibrates a lot

during the spin cycle.

The washer-dryer leaks.

The “option” and START/PAUSE

indicator lights flash rapidly and an

error code appears on the display (e.g.:

F-01, F-..).

There is too much foam.

The washer-dryer does not dry.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.

• There is no power in the house.

• The washer-dryer door is not closed properly.

• The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• A delayed start has been set.

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is bent.

• The water tap has not been opened.

• There is no water supply in the house.

• The pressure is too low.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor

(see “Installation”).

• The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

• The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the

appliance off and contact the Technical Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one

of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage,

causing the washer-dryer to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-

draining valves are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.

• The wash cycle does not include draining: some cycles require the draining

process to be enabled manually.

• The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).

• The drainage duct is clogged.

• The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).

• The washer-dryer is not level (see “Installation”).

• The washer-dryer is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installation”).

• The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).

• The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see “Care

and maintenance”).

• The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).

• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then

switch it back on again.

If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text

“for washing machine” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).

• Too much detergent was used.

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.

• There has been a power failure.

• The appliance door is not shut properly.

• A DELAY TIMER has been set.

• DRYING is in the OFF position.

GB

Service

Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service:

• Check whether you can solve the problem alone (see “Troubleshooting”);

• Restart the wash cycle to check whether the problem has been solved;

• If this is not the case, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre.

! Always request the assistance of authorised technicians.

Have the following information to hand:

• the type of problem;

• the appliance model (Mod.);

• the serial number (S/N).

This information can be found on the data plate applied to the rear of the washer-dryer, and can also be found on the front of

the appliance by opening the door.
