  • Hello! I've reviewed the Fagor washer dryer operating instructions and am ready to help. This document explains how to use the detergent drawer, select wash and dry programs, choose additional functions like spin speed, anti-crease and extra rinse options. It also details how to use the pause function to add or remove clothes and explains the display information. Please ask me anything you need to know about this device and its functionality.
  • What are the four types of programs available?
    How can I select a drying time?
    Can I add or remove clothes while the machine is running?
    What is the anti-crease function?
    What effect has 'Intensive wash' option?
    What is 'Easy iron' option?
Operating Instructions - Washer dryer Fagor
Using detergent and additives
Place the detergent or additive in the detergent drawer before the wash programme begins. The drawer is divided into
three compartments.
Prewash compartment
Wash compartment
Liquid additive compartment (fabric softener etc.) The level of liquid must never be higher than the Max reference
mark printed on the compartment wall.
Selecting a wash programme
There are four types of programmes
1. Normal programmes
2. Delicate programmes
3. Wool programmes
4. Auxiliary programmes
To select a wash programme, proceed as follows:
Switch the washing machine on by pressing the programme selector dial which will come out.
Select the wash programme by turning the programme selector dial.
Selecting washing and drying
Select a wash programme and then select a drying time using the button next to the display.
An “0” will appear on the display and the drying phase LED will light up; both will flash together until the On button is
pressed. When the drying minutes button is pressed again, the time appearing on the display will increase minute by
minute from 20 to 180. If you press and hold down the time button, the time will advance 10 minutes per second. While
washing is in progress you can view the drying time by pressing the button once. You can also press it more than once to
modify the drying time. In this case, the washing machine will stay on pause until the On button is pressed again.
Selecting drying only
Turn the programming dial to ON and then select the drying programme. If you decide to take out the clothes before
the drying time selected is up, turn the display to zero.
Selecting additional functions
The wash options should always be selected after choosing the wash programme. If the programme is changed during
the selection, the options previously selected will be cancelled out. The following options are available:
Spin speed select
The programme selected has its own particular spin speed. If necessary, the spin speed can be changed, the spin-dry can
be skipped, or the anti-crease option can be used. To do this press the spin speed select button repeatedly until the
desired option lights up.
Anti-crease
This stops the cycle after the last rinse, water remains in the drum to stop creasing. When the function is deactivated
the washing machine will continue to drain and spin.
Spin suppression
This option allows you to run a programme without the final spin. This is used to avoid the formation of creases when
washing special materials.
Extra rinse
This increases the final rinse given to the clothes. Suitable for large loads and people with sensitive skin.
Intensive wash
This option is recommended for heavily soiled and stained garments, provides better results when the normal wash
cycle is extended.
Easy iron
This option prevents the clothes from creasing by running a special programme and making them easier to iron.
The wash options should always be selected after the wash programme has been chosen. The drying time can be
selected before or after the options. A drying programme will not admit any wash options.
Starting up the washing machine
To start the washer-dryer press the On button. The display above the button will light up and the washing machine will
begin to run the programme selected together with the options. The display will show the minutes left until the selected
programmes end, whether these are wash, wash+dry or just dry. When the full time has elapsed it will show “0”, and
when the door lock is released it will show “End”.
If you need to add or remove a garment while the washing machine is on, select Pause and check the water level is not
above the door overflow level and that the temperature inside the washing machine is not hot. When you press the On
button again, washing will resume from the phase of the cycle where it left off.
The phases of the programme that are active will successively appear as the programme progresses. Any of the option
buttons can be selected provided that the wash phase they affect has not ended and the programme allows this option.
When the washing machine is running certain actions can cause the washer-dryer to pause. These are: Deactivating the
child lock, pressing the on button, pressing the drying minutes button more than once within 3 seconds.
In these cases the previously selected wash options and drying time will be maintained and when the On button is
pressed again the washing machine will continue to function from the point at which it left off. In these cases clothes
may be taken out of the washing machine as long as the load door can be opened.
