Users can personalize cycles by:

- Setting Drying Cycle: Using the DRYING knob, with options for time-based drying (40 to 180 minutes) or dryness level (Iron dry, Hanger dry, Cupboard dry). For larger loads, the "Drying only" cycle can be used after dividing laundry.
- Functions:
- Delay Timer: To set a delayed start for the selected program.
- Eco Time: Adjusts drum rotation, temperature, and water for reduced loads of lightly soiled cotton and synthetic fabrics, saving water and electricity.
- Spin Speed Reduction (1400-600): Reduces the spin speed.
The appliance incorporates a load balancing system that rotates the drum continuously before each spin cycle to distribute the load evenly, preventing excessive vibrations. If the load remains unbalanced after several attempts, the machine spins at a reduced speed or performs a distribution process instead of spinning.
Maintenance Features:
- Cutting off Water and Electricity: Recommended after each wash cycle and during all maintenance work to limit wear and prevent leaks.
- Cleaning the Washer-Dryer: Outer parts and rubber components can be cleaned with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. Solvents or abrasives should not be used.
- Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser Drawer: The drawer can be removed and washed under running water; this should be done frequently.
- Caring for the Door and Drum: Leaving the porthole door ajar after use helps prevent unpleasant odours.
- Cleaning the Pump: The washer-dryer has a self-cleaning pump. Users can access the pre-chamber (located at the bottom front, behind a cover panel) to remove small items that may fall in. It is crucial to ensure the wash cycle has finished and the appliance is unplugged before accessing the pre-chamber.
- Checking the Water Inlet Hose: Should be checked at least once a year for cracks and replaced immediately if any are found. Second-hand hoses should never be used.
Safety Precautions:
The manual emphasizes general safety, including:
- Appliance designed for domestic use only.
- Children aged 8 and above, and persons with reduced capabilities, must be supervised or instructed.

- Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless items are quickly removed and spread out.
- Avoid touching the machine with bare feet or wet hands.
- Do not pull the power supply cable to unplug.
- Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer during operation.

Installation:
The manual provides detailed instructions for installation, including:
- Unpacking and Levelling: Removing protective screws and rubber bushes, sealing gaps, and levelling the appliance on a sturdy floor to prevent vibrations and noise.
- Electric and Water Connections: Connecting the water inlet hose to a cold water tap (3/4 gas threaded connection) and ensuring correct water pressure. Connecting the drain hose to a draining duct or under-sink trap, ensuring it is between 65 and 100 cm from the floor and not underwater.
