Precautions and tips

This washer-dryer was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-

lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must

therefore be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu-

ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concer-

ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for

their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

Items that have been soiled with substances such as

cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot re-

movers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be

washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent

before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,

waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or

pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried

in the tumble dryer.

Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as

specified by the fabric softener instructions. The final part

of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down

cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature

that ensures that the items will not be damaged.

WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the

drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread

out so that the heat is dissipated.

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or

damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging

the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug

and pull.

• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the

machine is in operation.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-

ly high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety

lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-

stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt

to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance while

it is operating.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two

or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never

try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washer-dryer, make sure

the drum is empty.

• 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.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials:

observe local regulations so that the packaging may be

re-used.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that

household appliances should not be disposed of using

the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted applian-

ces should be collected separately in order to optimise

the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the

machine, while preventing potential damage to the at-

mosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin

is marked on all products to remind the owner of their

obligations regarding separated waste collection.

For more information relating to the correct disposal of

household appliances, owners should contact their local

authorities or appliance dealer.
