INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS This machine must not be installed and operated on a plinth. Levelling the machine 1 2 3 zz zz zz 4 It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure good spin performance, and to minimise noise, vibrations and wear and tear on the washer dryer. Before positioning the machine in its final position, check that the machine is level, front to back and side to side. Manoeuvre the product into its final position (we suggest a minimum clearance of 20mm each side).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Draining Drain hose placement in a stand pipe or tub 1 To guide the drain hose over the tub or zz zz If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the standpipe or tub is less than 800mm high, the machine will continuously drain while being filled (siphon). Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions, which may affect how your machine works or may cause flooding.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Electrical connection 1 This appliance must be connected to a 220V – 240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal, minimum 10A electrical supply. 2 Uncoil the power cord, remove and discard the plastic pin cover and plug into a wall socket. 3 Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity. zz zz Check the power cord for damage and make sure it is not squashed or twisted when installing the washer.

WASHER DRYER CONTROLS SmartTouch™ Control Dial The SmartTouch™ Control Dial provides easy and efficient wash and dry cycle selection. As you rotate the dial, the icon of the wash or dry cycle selected will be illuminated, while the default settings for that cycle will be illuminated on the right side of the control panel. SmartTouch™ Control Dial SmartTouch™ buttons The smooth, easy clean buttons enable simple selection of options with lights clearly showing the selections you are making.
WASHER DRYER CONTROLS Time to go Your washer dryer displays approximately how many minutes are remaining in the cycle you are running, so that you can tell at a glance when your laundry will be finished. Please be aware that a number of factors can influence the overall cycle time, eg the water flow rate, water pressure, load size, cycle, fabric type of garments, wetness of the load and options selected. Therefore, cycle times will vary, even during a cycle.
WASH AND DRY CYCLES Your washer dryer has a number of wash, dry and continuous wash and dry cycles to suit your laundering needs. Selecting the most appropriate cycle for each particular wash and dry load will help ensure you get the best wash and dry result. CYCLE DESIGNED FOR DESCRIPTION Everyday Normal or lightly soiled everyday items eg t-shirts, track pants, sweatshirts, pants. Wash: A faster wash cycle designed for mixed loads with normal soiling.
WASH AND DRY CYCLES MAX. WASH TEMP. (°C) DEFAULT SPIN SPEED (RPM) MAX. SPIN SPEED (RPM) DEFAULT DRYNESS LEVEL*** WD8560F1: 8.5/5 WD8060P1: 7/4 WD7560P1: 7.5/4 40 90 1400 1400 Dry WD8560F1: 8.5/5 WD8060P1: 7/4 WD7560P1: 7.5/4 40 90 1400 1400 Dry WD8560F1: 8.5/5 WD8060P1: 7/4 WD7560P1: 7.
DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER Detergent type Your washer dryer requires low sudsing detergent to prevent oversudsing problems. Low sudsing detergent comes in powder, liquid or pod form and is labelled ‘Top Loader/Front Loader’, ‘Low Suds’, ‘High Efficiency’ or ‘HE’. Using any other detergent type that is not recommended for front loaders, may lead to excessive suds formation, which will lengthen the cycle time as the machine waits for the suds to dissolve.
DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER Pods Detergent pods are a ‘no mess’ alternative to powdered or liquid detergent. They must be placed at the back of the drum prior to loading your clothes. This will ensure they are activated quickly in the wash. Do not place pods in the detergent dispenser drawer or on top of your clothes. Pre Wash If you wish to use the ‘Pre Wash’ option, liquid or powdered detergent must only be placed in the pre wash detergent compartment on the right hand side of the drawer, .
DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER Fabric softener Add fabric softener to the middle compartment of the dispenser marked with a . The washer dryer will automatically flush the fabric softener during the rinse part of the cycle. If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend to: 1 Use it sparingly. Measure it carefully and do not use more than 25mls (1/2 cap), some thicker varieties may need diluting. 2 Clean your dispenser regularly. 3 Clean your machine regularly using the ‘Drum Clean’ cycle.
WASH PREPARATION When preparing your washer or dryer load there are some important things to consider: Sorting zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the washer dryer. Sort into loads of similar items, and loads that will take similar times to dry. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new. Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water.
WASH PREPARATION SPECIFIC ITEM REQUIREMENTS SUGGESTED WASH/DRY CYCLE AND OPTIONS Towels Wash: Towels, 1400 or 1100 rpm spin, 40°C, Wrinkle Free. Dry: Towels, Extra Dry, Wrinkle Free. Towels produce a lot of lint and are best dried on their own. Sheets, pillowcases, duvet/ doona covers Wash: Everyday, 1400 or 1100 rpm spin, 30°C or 40°C. Dry: Everyday, Dry. Ensure duvet/doona cover openings are buttoned/domed before placing in the washer dryer.
WASH PREPARATION Before you load zz zz zz zz Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer dryer. Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/ doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer dryer and your clothes. Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag if performing a wash only cycle.
WASH PREPARATION Lint zz zz zz zz zz zz Some items are lint givers, while others are lint collectors. Always dry lint givers and collectors separately.
GETTING STARTED QUICKLY zz Sort your washing carefully. Separate white/light colours from dark colours. Wash new, highly coloured and dark coloured items separately to prevent dye transfer. Refer to the ‘Sorting and loading’ section. Load your clothes individually into the drum. Close the door. Use ‘Top Loader/Front Loader’, ‘Low Suds’, ‘High Efficiency’ or ‘HE’ powder, liquid or pods. Pour liquid detergent into the correct compartment in the dispenser drawer marked .
GETTING STARTED QUICKLY 1 Press ‘POWER’ to activate your washer dryer. 2 Select your wash or dry cycle by turning the SmartTouch™ Control Dial. 3 If you are wanting to perform a wash, dry or continuous wash and dry cycle touch the ‘Select’ button to change to the desired cycle functionality. 4 Choose your wash or dry options (if you wish to select options different from the default options for the cycle). to start the cycle.
WASH AND DRY CYCLE OPTIONS All wash and dry cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average load expected to be washed. You can vary the options (eg ‘Wash Temp’, ‘Spin Speed’) to create your desired cycle. Note: some options are not available on some cycles, for clothes care reasons, or because the option is not appropriate for the cycle.
WASH AND DRY CYCLE OPTIONS Options Pre Wash For extra dirty loads you can perform a ‘Pre Wash’. Your washer dryer will start the wash with a short wash in cool water to remove excess soil. After this the machine will drain and then fill with the selected temperature for the main wash. Simply touch the ‘Options’ button and select ‘Pre Wash’ when choosing your wash options.
WASH AND DRY CYCLE OPTIONS Dryness Level Your washer dryer takes the guess work out of choosing drying times by sensing the dryness of the load. When your washer dryer senses that the clothes have dried to the dryness level you have selected, the washer dryer will automatically enter the cool down phase then finish the cycle. The washer dryer has three dryness levels to choose from; ‘Damp’, ‘Dry’ and ‘Extra Dry’. Choose the dryness level to suit your load depending on how dry you wish your clothes to be.
WASH AND DRY CYCLE OPTIONS Keylock This option enables you to deactivate the buttons on the display panel, except for the ‘POWER’ and ‘Keylock’ buttons. This prevents accidental button presses. zz To turn ‘Keylock’ mode ON or OFF when the washer dryer is powered on: Touch and hold the button for 2 seconds. Note: when activated, the light above the zz zz button is illuminated.
CUSTOMISING WASH AND DRY CYCLES After using your washer dryer a few times you may discover there are some wash or dry options you prefer for some cycles. You can programme your washer dryer to remember the wash and dry options you prefer for each cycle. For instance, you may want to set the ‘Everyday’ cycle to ‘Cold’ wash temperature or set the ‘Heavy’ cycle so it gives you ‘Rinse+’ every cycle. To customise a cycle: 1 Press ‘POWER’ to turn the machine on.
CARING FOR YOUR WASHER DRYER When you have finished using your washer dryer zz zz zz Unplug the machine from the power socket. Wipe around the door and in the rubber gasket to remove any remaining water/ condensation, lint and foreign matter. Turn off the taps to prevent the chance of flooding should a hose burst. Cleaning your washer dryer Before you start cleaning your washer dryer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power (ie unplug the machine from the power socket).
CARING FOR YOUR WASHER DRYER zz zz zz zz Cleaning the drum and the door Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the door, cleaning any water marks or residue off it. Wipe the rubber seal around the door. Remove any items or lint accumulating in the bottom of the seal catchment and wipe out any water accumulated here. If this is not cleaned out, unpleasant odours will develop. If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe the drum clean.
CARING FOR YOUR WASHER DRYER Cleaning the hose The hose has a filter in it, preventing any solid contaminants in the water entering your washer dryer. Occasionally you should disconnect the water inlet hose where it connects to the taps, check for any build up of dirt and wash this out. Nappy sanitisers/bleach Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT tip the contents of a nappy bucket into your machine. Rinse and wring items out thoroughly before placing them in the machine.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE User warnings Your washer dryer is capable of diagnosing a number of its own problems.
