Product Overview

The Artusi AWD850W is an 8kg wash and 5kg dry front load washer dryer in a white enamel finish for freestanding indoor installation. A BLDC motor and a 1400 RPM maximum spin speed pair with 14 programmes, a stainless steel drum and a 595 mm wide, 850 mm high and 535 mm deep body that washes and dries in one machine.

Programmes include Cotton, Cotton ECO, Mix, Baby Care, Wool, 20°C, Steam Hygiene, Drum Clean and Spin Only for washing, Wash and Dry, Auto Dry and Time Dry for drying, and a Quick 15' programme that switches to a 1 hour wash and dry. Stain Master offers targeted treatments for five stain scenarios, while Boost, Pre Wash, Extra Rinse, a Reload function, a My Cycle memory and a delay start of up to 24 hours let you tailor each cycle.

A door close sensor, water overflow sensor, water injection sensor, load sensing, foam protection, an unbalance control system, failure detection and a child lock look after the machine and your household, and the LCD display with selection dial shows the remaining time and washing cycle stage. It carries a 4.5 star WELS water rating at 68 litres per wash and an Energy Rating Calculator figure of 244 kWh per year for washing.

With a cold water connection, a 10A plug on a 1.5 m cord and a removable top cover, the AWD850W suits busy households that want washing and drying handled by one freestanding machine.

Extra Information

The AWD850W uses a cold water connection only and needs inlet water pressure between 0.05 and 1 MPa. Connect the drain hose at a height of no more than 100 cm and keep the mains plug accessible after installation. The machine is for indoor domestic use only, and water and electrical connections should be carried out by a qualified technician.

Programme times vary with the load, water temperature and options selected, and the figures in the manual are for reference. Cotton ECO is the standard washing programme for the ratings, with an 8.0kg full load, 4.0kg half load and 2.0kg quarter load, and Auto Dry is the standard drying programme at a 5.0kg load with a 2.5kg half load. Quick 15' is limited to 1 kg of small synthetic items or about four shirts.

Use a non-foaming or low-foaming detergent suitable for automatic machines, add detergent to compartment I only when Pre Wash is selected, and never put laundry beads in the dispenser. Do not dry items containing foam rubber, waterproof textiles, rubber-backed articles, bulky items such as quilts and sleeping bags, or delicate synthetics, wool and silk. Washing single items can cause an unbalanced load, so add one or two more items for a smooth spin.

The 4.5 star WELS rating of 68 litres per wash is based on the Cotton ECO programme at 60°C and 1400 RPM with an 8kg load. The energy figure of 244 kWh per year is the washing figure from the Government Energy Rating Calculator for seven washes per week, and actual use depends on how the appliance is used. Artusi covers this appliance with a 2 year warranty, extended by a further 3 years with product registration.
