Precautions and tips

!

This Washer-dryer was designed and constructed in ac-

cordance with international safety regulations. The following

information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore

be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa-

bilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they

have been given supervision or instruction concerning 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 tem-

perature 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.

• 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 extremely

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 circumstances

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 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household

electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal

unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must

be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery

and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the

impact on human health and the environment. The crossed

out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of

your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it

must be separately collected. Consumers should contact

their local authority or retailer for information concerning

the correct disposal of their old appliance.
