Margherita - Instructions for installation and use
Here are the 13 topics explained in this manual. Read,
learn and have fun: you will discover many secret
ways to get a better wash, more easily and making
your washer-dryer last longer......and especially
keeping an eye on safety.
Quick guide to
Margherita
1. Installation and removal (p. 11)
Installation, after delivery or transport, is the most important
operation for the correct functioning of your Margherita washer-dryer.
Always check:
1. That the electric system complies with the law;
2. That the inlet and draining pipes are connected correctly.
Never use hoses that have already been used, always use
the new ones provided with your machine.
3. That the washer-dryer is levelled properly; something worth
checking for the life of your washer-dryer and the quality of
your wash;
4. That the drum's fixing screws have been removed from the back
of the washer-dryer.
2. What goes in your washer-dryer and how
to start it (p. 2)
A correct distribution of your laundry is vital to both the successful
outcome of the wash and the life of the washer-dryer. Learn all the
tips and secrets to dividing your linen: colour, type of fabric and
tendency of creating fuzz are the most important criteria.
3. Guide to understanding labels (p. 6)
The symbols on the labels of your garments are easy to understand
and equally important for the success of your wash. The guide
includes simple instructions to help you choose the right tempera-
ture, wash cycles and ironing methods.
4. Useful tips to avoid mistakes (p. 7)
Yeras back, our grandmothers were the ones who gave us good advice
- and in those days synthetic fibres did not exist: washing was easy.
Today, Margherita offers you helpful advice allowing you to wash
cashmere and wool even better than an expert laundress would by
hand.
5. The detergent dispenser (p. 8)
How to use the detergent dispenser and the bleach compartment.
6. Understanding the control panel (p. 3)
Margheritas control panel is very simple. It has only a few essential
buttons to help you choose any type of wash cycle, ranging from the
most energetic, capable of cleaning a mechanics overalls, to the
most delicate for cashmere. Familiarising with it will help you get
the best out of your wash while helping your washer-dryer last longer.
Its easy.
7. Guide to Margheritas programmes (p. 4)
Herein is an easy table to help you choose the right programme,
temperature, detergents and possible additives. Choose the right
programme and you will get better results with your wash while saving
time, water and energy, day after day.
8. How to dry (p. 5)
A few handy tips to get the best drying cycle from your appliance.
9. Care and maintenance (p. 13)
Margherita is a true friend. With just a bit of care, it will repay you
with loyalty and devotion.
With the necessary upkeep, it will wash for years and years to come.
10. Problems and solutions (p. 9 and 10)
Before calling a technician, read these pages: immediate solutions
may be found for a number of problems. If the problem persists, call
Ariston customer services and any failure will be repaired, as soon as
possible.
11. Technical characteristics (p. 10)

What goes in your washer-dryer?
Before washing, you can do a great deal for better results. Divide your garments
according to fabric and colour. Read the labels, follow their indications and
alternate small items with large ones.
Before washing.
Divide your washing according to
the type of fabric and colour
resistance: sturdy fabrics should
be separated from delicate ones.
Light colours should be separated
from dark ones.
Empty all pockets (coins, paper,
money and small obejects) and
check the buttons. Mend
immediately or remove loose
buttons as they could fall off
during the wash cycle.
How to eliminate the most common stains
Ink and biro Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90°.
Tar Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately.
Wax Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with
turpentine or methyl alcohol.
Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag.
Mold Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar,
then washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately.
Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk.
Nail polish Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the
garment as the sheet gradually changes colour.
Grass Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.
Starting Margherita
Starting Margherita in the right
way is important for the quality
of your wash, for preventing
problems and for lengthening the
life of your appliance. After
loading your washing and
pouring in the detergent together
with any additives, always check
that:
1. The door is correctly shut.
2. The plug is inserted in the
socket.
3. The water tap is open.
4. Selector knob A is positioned
on one of the symbols
(Stop/
Reset).
Choose the desired programme
The programme is selected
according to the type of garments
that need to be washed. To
choose a programme, refer to the
table on page 4. Turn knob A
until the selected programme
coincides with the pointer
situated on the upper part of glass
O, set the temperature using
knob B, make sure knob C is in
the required position and, if
necessary, use buttons F, G, H
and I and then press on/off
button L (position ON).
After installing your new washer-dryer, start a
wash cycle by setting programme "1" at 90 degrees.
For more delicate
garments:
protect underwear,
tights and stockings
and delicate items by
placing them in a
canvas pouch
Dividing your
garments according to
fabric and colour, is
very important for
good results
Remember that, if you want to
use it, the "programmed start"
should be set before the wash
cycle.
At the end of the wash cycle...
Lamp M will flash quickly for a
few seconds, then it will begin
flashing more slowly.
Then turn Margherita off by
pressing on-off button L (OFF
position).
You can now open the washer-
dryer door safely. After having
removed the freshly cleaned
washing, leave the door open or
ajar so that the humidity left
inside can evaporate.
Always close the water tap.
Remember that, in the event
of a power failure, or should
the washer-dryer switch itself
off, the programme chosen will
be memorised.
The labels say it all.
Always look at the labels: they
tell you everything about your
garment and how to wash it in
the best way possible.
The table on page 6 shows you
all the secrets of the symbols
found on labels. Their
indications are a valuable guide
to a better wash and to longer
lasting clothes.
Big and small happily
together.
This washer-dryer has a special
electronic control device for
distributing the wash load
evenly: before the spin cycle
starts, this device allows the
washing to position itself as
uniformly as possible in the
drum, according to the type of
washing and initial positioning.
For this reason, even at top spin,
the washer-dryer does not vibrate
or make any noise.

Stain removal (see page 8)
Thanks to this command, Mar-
gherita will carry out a more in-
tensive wash that optimises the
effectiveness of the liquid
additives, thus allowing more
resistant stains to be removed.
When you press the stain removal
button, you cannot activate the
pre-wash cycle (I).
Prewash
With this button, you can pre-
wash on all programmes except
the wool programme and the
special programmes (see page 4).
If you use this function, you
cannot use the stain removal
button (H).
On-off
When button L is pressed, the
washer-dryer is switched on,
when it is not the machine is
switched off. Turning the
appliance off does not cancel
the selected programme.
On-off lamp / door locked
Lamp M flashes slowly when the
appliance is switched on and
awaiting instructions and at the end
of a cycle, indicating that the door
can be opened. It flashes quickly
when the door should not be
opened. A steady light means the
appliance has accepted the selected
programme.
Drying cycle lamp
When this lamp is on, it means
that knob C has been set on a
drying cycle and at the end of the
wash cycle, the appliance will run
the selected tumble drying cycle.
The washer-dryer is equipped
with extra compartment 4
(provided) for the bleach, to be
inserted in compartment 1.
Programme key
This contains the descriptions of
the wash programmes and the
various functions connected to
the buttons. Pull it outwards to
open it.
Rinse-hold
This button allows you to interrupt
a programme (on symbol
)
keeping the washing soaking in
water before the spin cycle. It is a
very useful button in particular
because it can be used for
delicates and synthetics. It is only
to be used with wash programmes
for synthetic fabrics, silk and
curtains when it is impossible for
you to take the washing out
immediately. Before opening the
washing machine door, finish the
wash cycle as follows:
Silk and curtains: press button F
and Margherita will drain the
water.
Synthetic fabrics: press button F
if you want a spin cycle, or turn
knob A to symbol if you want
the water to be drained.
N.B.:
- when setting a drying cycle,
this function is not performed.
- With "Daily wash" or "Hand
wash", this function is not
performed.
Slow spin
Use this button to reduce the
spinning speed from 1200 to 600
rpm for the cotton programmes
and from 850 to 600 rpm for the
synthetic fabrics programmes.
Here Im in command
Understanding the control panel
Making the right choice is important. And its easy.
Margheritas knobs are hidden. Just
press them lightly in the middle to
extract them.
Programme selector knob
and programmed start
Use this knob to select the wash
programme.
Turn this knob clockwise only.
To select a programme, you
should turn the knob so that the
symbol/number of the desired
programme is in line with the
pointer on the glass O.
Now press on/off button L
(position ON), pilot lamp M will
start flashing.
After 5", the setting will be
accepted, pilot lamp M will stop
flashing (staying lit) and the wash
cycle will begin.
Should you wish to interrupt the
programme in progress or set a
new one, select one of the
symbols
(Stop/Reset) and wait
5" : when the cancellation has
been accepted, pilot lamp M
flashes, and you can then turn the
appliance off.
You can use this knob to delay
the appliance's operation.
Select one of the 3 delay time
positions, press the on/off button
L (position ON) and wait 5". The
setting has now been accepted
(pilot lamp M stays lit) and you
can select the programme you
desire.
Pilot lamp M has a particular
flashing motion (2" on and 4"
off) to indicate that a delayed
start has been set.
During this phase, you can open
the appliance door and change
the washing load, should you
wish to do so.
After the wash cycle has been set
and accepted by the washer-
dryer, turning the knob will have
no effect (except for when it is
on position Stop/Reset).
Temperature control knob
It is used to set the wash tempe-
rature indicated in the
programme table. It also allows
you to reduce the temperature
recommended for the selected
programme, and even to set a
cold wash cycle ( ).
Drying cycle knob
Use this knob to select the desired
drying cycle. Two options are
available:
A - Based on time:
From 40 minutes to 150.
B - Based on the damp level of
the dry clothes:
Iron
: slightly damp clothes,
easy to iron.
Wardrobe : dry clothes to put
away.
Extra dry : very dry clothes,
recommended for towelling and
bathrobes.
A cooling stage is foreseen at the
end of the drying cycle.
Detergent dispenser
It is divided into three
compartments:
1. Detergent for pre-washing;
2. Detergent for the wash cycle;
3. Fabric softeners,
starches, perfumes.
The detergent dispenser with
the additional bleach
compartment is here.

A wash performance Margherita has a special programme to allow you to obtain optimum results even at low temperatures.
By setting programme 3 at a temperature of 40° C, the results you will obtain will be the same as you would normally obtain at 60°C
thanks to the washer-dryers action and the length of the wash cycle.
Daily wash Margherita has a programme studied for the washing of lightly soiled garments in a short amount of time.
By setting programme 8 at a temperature of 30°C, you can wash different types of fabrics together (except for wool and silk), with a
maximum load of 3 kg. This programmes allows you to save on both time and energy as it only lasts around 30 minutes. We
recommend the use of liquid detergent.
Important: to cancel the wash programme you have just set, select one of the symbols (Stop/Reset) and wait for at least 5.

How to dry
A combined Washing
and Drying Programme
Look at table A to the side and
follow the instructions provided
for MAX load to have an
automatic washing and drying
cycle.
Follow the instructions for wash
only (see page 2, the paragraph
entitled "Starting Margherita")
and use knob C to set the type
of drying cycle desired, then
press button L (ON position).
If the laundry load to be washed
and dried exceeds the maximum
load foreseen (see table A), then
follow the instructions provided
for wash only (see page 2, the
paragraph entitled "Starting Mar-
gherita").
When the wash cycle has finished,
remove your washing, divide it
up and replace part of it inside
the drum.
Now follow the instructions
provided for a dry only cycle.
Repeat this procedure for the re-
mainder of the load.
Dry only
Once you have loaded the
washing that needs drying (4 kg
max. for cottons, see table for
other fabrics ), make sure that:
- the door is shut correctly;
- the plug is inserted in the socket;
- the water tap is turned on;
- button L has not been pressed
(OFF position).
And now set the wash
cycle knob
Set knob A on the appropriate
drying setting
depending on
the type of fabric, select the type
of drying cycle required using
knob C and then press on-off
button L (ON position).
At the end of the drying
cycle...
Wait for lamp M to flash slowly,
then turn the washer-dryer off by
pressing on-off button L
(OFF position). Now you can
open the appliance door. Once
you have removed the washing
from the appliance, leave the
door open or ajar to avoid the
formation of bad odours and turn
off the water tap.
A.
- During the drying phase, the door tends to get
quite hot.
- Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that have
been washed with flammable solvents (e.g.
trichlorethylene).
- 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.
- This washer-dryer can only be used to dry clothes
which have been pre-washed in water.
WARNING
A spin cycle is carried out during the drying if you
have set a cotton programme and a level of dryness
(Extra dry
, Wardrobe , Iron ).
IMPORTANT
The woollen garments drying cycle should only and
exclusively be run together with the selection of a
specific cycle time (150 - 100 - 60 - 40 minutes).
If one of the three levels (Extra dry
, Wardrobe ,
Iron
) is selected by mistake, the appliance will
run a drying cycle lasting the MAX time foreseen
(150 minutes).

Understanding labels
Learn the meaning of these symbols and you will get
better results, your garments will last longer and your
machine will repay you by washing better.
All over Europe, garment labels
contain messages expressed in
small yet important symbols.
Understanding them is very
important if you want to get
better results and treat your
garments the way they deserve to
be treated.
These symbols are divided in five
different categories and shapes:
washing
, bleaching ,
ironing
, dry cleaning and
drying
.
Consult and learn the symbols in this table: they will help you
obtain a better wash, treat your clothes properly, and get a
better performance out of your Ariston Margherita.
Useful tips
Turn shirts inside out to get better results
and make them last longer.
Always empty pockets of their contents.
Look at the label: it will always give you
useful advice.
When loading your washing, alternate large
and small garments.
Make sure you select the right
temperature!

Useful tips to avoid mistakes
Never use your washer-
dryer to wash... torn, fraying or
non-hemmed linen. If it is
absolutely neccessary, place it in
a bag for protection. Brightly
coloured linen with whites.
Watch the weight!
For best results, do not exceed
the weight limits stated below
(figures show weight when dry):
- Resistant fabrics:
5.5 kg maximum
- Synthetic fabrics:
2.5 kg maximum
- Delicate fabrics:
2 kg maximum
- Pure new wool:
1 kg maximum
Cashmere Gold: As gentle as a hand wash
The first Washer to have "The Woolmark Company" recognition.
The Cashmere Gold wash
programme has been studied
for machine washing even the
most delicate and valuable
wool and Cashmere
garments.
The Merloni Elettrodomesti-
ci wool wash cycle has been
tested and approved by The
Woolmark Company for
washing Woolmark garments
labelled as hand wash. This
is the first gentle action hand
wash cycle approved by The
Woolmark Company.
M.00221
This has been made possible
thanks to the speed of the
drum at 90 rpm, even during
the rinse cycle, thus
preventing the fibres from
rubbing.
Always use programme 9 with
garments bearing the hand wash
symbol: the washbasin and
hand.
To take care of your woollen
items, we recommend you use
special detergents.
EXCLUSIVE
How to wash almost anything
Curtains.
Curtains tend to crease a great
deal. Here is a tip to reduce
creasing: fold the curtains and
place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Do not load anything
else, so that the overall weight
does not exceed the half load.
Remember to use the specific
programme 10 which automa-
tically excludes the spin cycle.
Trainers.
Once you have removed mud and
dirt from trainers, you can wash
them with jeans and other tough
garments. Do not wash trainers
with whites.
Quilted coats and wind-
cheaters.
You can wash quilted coats and
wind-cheaters, too, if they are
padded with goose or duck
down. Do not load more than
2-3 kg and never load 5.5 kg.
Repeat rinse once or twice using
the gentle spin.
How much does it weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 gr.
1 pillow case 150-200 gr.
1 tablecloth 400-500 gr.
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr.
1 towel 150-250 gr.
Coloured T-shirts, printed
ones and shirts last longer if
turned inside out before washing.
Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts
should always be ironed inside
out.
Salopette alert.
Very popular salopette type
overalls have straps with hooks
that can damage the drum of
your washer-dryer or other
garments during the wash. By
placing the hooks in the bib
pocket and fastening them with
safety pins, all risks are avoided.
Holidays: unplug the
appliance.
When you go on holiday, we
recommend that you unplug your
washer-dryer, shutting off the
water inlet tap and leaving the
door opened or ajar. In this way,
both the drum and the gasket will
remain nice and dry and
unpleasant odours will not
develop inside the washer-dryer.
7
For best results, we
recommend you use a
specific detergent, taking
care not to wash more
than 1 kg of laundry.

You must add detergent and any
additives following the dosage
recommended by the
manufacturers: generally, all the
indications you need are on the
box. Doses vary according to
wash load, the water hardness
and how soiled the washing is.
Experience will help you select
the right dosage almost
automatically: it will become
your secret.
Before pouring in the detergent
for pre-washing in compartment
1, make sure that the extra
compartment for bleach 4 has
not been inserted.
When pouring in the softener in
compartment 3, avoid making it
overflow from the grate.
The washer-dryer automatically
adds the softener to the wash in
each programme.
In compartment 1:
Detergent for pre-washing (powder)
In compartment 2:
Detergent for washing
(powder or liquid)
In compartment 3:
Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)
In compartment 4:
Bleach and delicate bleach.
The secrets of the detergent dispenser
Its important for a good wash
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent
dispenser is opened by rotating it outwards.
Liquid detergent is to be poured
into compartment 2 only a few
seconds before starting the wash
cycle.
Remember that liquid detergent
is particularly indicated for wash
cycles of up to 60 degrees on non
pre-wash items, so you will not
have to use button I.
Liquid or powder detergents are
sold together with special
containers that are to be placed
directly inside the washer-dryer
drum, according to the
instructions found on the
detergent box.
Never use hand wash detergent,
because it may form too much
foam, which could damage the
washer-dryer.
Detergents that are specifically
indicated for both hand and
machine wash are an exception.
One last secret: when washing
with cold water, always reduce
the amount of detergent you use:
it dissolves less easily in cold
water than in hot water, so part
of it would be wasted.
Cutting costs efficiently
A guide to
environmentally
friendly and economic
use of your appliance.
MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE
Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the
recommended maximum load size.
SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH?
For heavily soiled laundry only!
SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by
NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.
IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED?
Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before
washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.
SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.
BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME ...
SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water
content in laundry before using a drying programme.
Bleach cycle and stain remover
button
If bleaching is necessary, the ex-
tra case 4 (provided) must be
inserted into compartment 1 of
the detergent dispenser.
When pouring in the bleach, be
careful not to exceed the "max"
level indicated on the central
pivot (see illustration).
The use of the additional bleach
container excludes the
possibility of using the pre-wash
cycle. Traditional bleach can
only be used on sturdy white
fabrics, whereas delicate
bleach can be used for
coloured fabrics, synthetics
and for wool.
You cannot bleach with the Silk
programme and with the special
programmes (see page 4).
Use the stain removal button
every time you want to bleach.
Should you want to do it
separately you must pour the
bleach into the additional
container 4, press button H
(stain removal), start the washer-
dryer, then select one of the
symbols according to the
type of fabric.
When you bleach during a
normal wash cycle, pour the
detergent and any additives in
the special compartments, press
button H (stain removal), set the
programme you desire and turn
the washer-dryer on.
The detergent dispenser can be
removed and cleaned: just lift it up
and pull it outwards ,as indicated in
the figure. Then leave it under running
water for a few minutes.

Margherita - Instructions for installation and use
Before calling, read the following
Troubleshooting
Your washer-dryer could fail to work. In most cases, the problems arising
can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before calling
for assistance, always check these points.
The washer-dryer fails
to start.
Is the plug correctly
inserted into the socket? It
could have been moved whilst
cleaning.
Is there electricity in the
house?
A circuit breaker could have
gone off, perhaps because too
many appliances are on at the
same time. Or perhaps because
of a general power failure in
your entire area.
Is the washer-dryer door
closed properly?
For safety reasons, the washer-
dryer cannot work if the door
is open or not shut properly.
Is the On/Off button
pressed?
If it is, then a programmed
start has been set.
Is the programmed start
knob, on those models
concerned, in the correct
position?
Is the water tap open? For
safety reasons, if the washer-
dryer does not load water, it
cannot start a wash cycle.
RIGHT
WRONG
Close the tap
after every wash
cycle.
Limit the use of
the washer-dryers
hydraulic system
and eliminate
leakage risks
when no-one is at
home.
Always leave the
appliance door
ajar to avoid bad
odours.
Clean the
appliances
exteriors
delicately.
To clean the
exteriors and the
rubber parts of
the appliance,
always use a rag
dipped in
lukewarm water
and soap.
Leave the washer-
dryer plugged in while
cleaning.
Even during mainte-
nance, the appliance
should always be
unplugged.
Use solvents and
aggressive abrasives.
Never use solvents or
abrasives to clean the
external and rubber
parts of the washer-
dryer.
Neglect the detergent
dispenser.
It is removable and
can easily be cleaned
by leaving it under
running water.
Go on holiday without
thinking about her.
Before leaving, always
make sure that the
washer-dryer is
unplugged and that
the water tap is
closed.
The washer-dryer
fails to load water.
Is the tap correctly
attached to the pipe ?
Is there a water shortage ?
There could be work in
progress in your building or
street.
Is there enough pressure?
The autoclave may be
malfunctioning.
Is the tap filter clean? If the
water is very calcareous, or if
work has recently been carried
out on the water piping, the tap
filter could be clogged with
particles and debris.
Is the rubber hose bent? The
tract of the rubber hose
bringing water to the washer-
dryer must be as straight as
possible. Make sure it is not
squashed or bent.
The programme
selector knob keeps
turning?
Wait a few minutes for the
drain pump to empty the tub,
switch Margherita off, select
one of the symbols stop/reset
, then switch it back on. If
the knob continues to turn, call
for assistance because it is
reporting an anomaly.
The washer-dryer
continuously loads
and unloads water.
Is the drain hose
positioned too low? It must
be installed at a height ranging
from 60 to 100 cm.
Is the hoses mouth
immersed in water?
Does the wall drainage
system have a breather
pipe? If the problem persists
even after these checks, close
the water tap, switch the
appliance off and call for
assistance.
If you live on an upper floor of
your building, there may be a
problem with your drain trap.
To solve this problem, a special
valve must be installed.

Simple: with the new Ariston technology, you need less than
half of it, to get good results on twice as much!
This is why you cannot see the water through the door:
because there is little, very little of it, to respect the
environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness.
And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.
But where did all the water go?

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent modifications
- 89/336/EEC of 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and
subsequent modifications
The washer-dryer
does not drain or spin.
Does the selected
programme foresee water
draining? Some wash cycles
require enabling the draining
manually.
Is the Rinse hold" function
-where provided - enabled?
This function require enabling
the draining manually.
Is the drain pump clogged?
To check it, close the tap,
unplug the washer-dryer and
follow the instructions on page
13, or call for technical
assistance.
Is the drain hose bent? The
tract of the drain hose must be
as straight as possible. Make
sure it is not squashed or bent.
Is the washer-dryers drain
duct clogged? Is there an
extension of the drain hose? If
so, is it positioned incorrectly,
blocking the water flow?
The washer-dryer
vibrates too much
during the spin cycle.
Has the internal floating
unit been correctly
unblocked during
installation? See the
following page on installation
procedures.
Has the washer-dryer been
levelled correctly? The
levelling of the appliance
should be checked
periodically. In time, the
machine could move
imperceptibly. Adjust the feet
and check them with a level.
Is the appliance closed in
between furniture and a
wall? If it is not a built-in
model, the washer-dryer needs
to oscillate a bit during the
spin cycle. A few cm of space
should therefore be left around
it.
The washer-dryer
leaks.
Is the metal ring of the inlet
hose properly attached?
Close the tap, unplug the
appliance and try tightening its
attachment without forcing it.
Is the detergent dispenser
obstructed? Try extracting it
and washing it under tap
water.
Is the drain hose well
attached? Close the tap,
unplug the appliance and try
tightening its attachment.
Too much foam.
Is the detergent appropriate
for machine washing? Check
whether its label reads the
definition for machine wash
or hand and machine wash,
or other similar indications.
Is the correct amount being
used? An excessive amount of
detergent, besides producing
too much foam, does not
guarantee a more effective
wash, and causes scaling in the
internal parts of the appliance.
The washer-dryer
does not dry.
Check whether:
the plug has been correctly
inserted into the socket; there
is electricity in your home; the
appliance door has been shut
properly; a delayed start (if
available) has not been selected;
programme knob A has been set
to position
(Stop/Reset); the
drying cycle knob C has been
set to position 0.
The washer-dryer
doesn't dry properly.
Check whether:
the end of the drain hose is
underwater; the drain pump is
obstructed; the advice given on
the maximum loads has been
taken; the water tap has been
turned on.
If, despite all checks, the washer-
dryer fails to function and the
problem persists, call your
nearest authorised Customer
Service Centre, providing the
following information:
- the type of malfunctioning
- the model type no. (Mod. ....)
- the serial number (S/N ....)
These indications can be found
on the data plate situated on the
back of the washer-dryer.
Technical characteristics
Always get
assistance from
authorised
technicians and
always insist on
original spare
parts.

  • Helaas heb ik niet gevonden,wat ik zocht.
    Mijn machine gaat niet meer open en er staat F 05 !
    Hoe krijg ik mijn machine weer open ? Gesteld op 16-4-2011 om 09:46

  • Wanneer je de machine uitzet gaat het slot er automatisch na 1 minuut vanaf.
    Je kunt dan de was eruit halen en het water dat je er met een kopje kunt uitscheppen verwijderen.
    Vervolgens voorzichtig de pomp losdraaien, je kunt er bijvoorbeeld een opvangbakje uit de oven onderzetten zodat je het water opvangt.
    Waarschijnlijk is er iets in de pomp gekomen waardoor deze te veel weerstand ondervindt en de F05 foutmelding geeft. Geantwoord op 23-6-2012 om 09:18
