Precautions and tips

! This washer-dryer was designed and constructed in 

accordance 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.

•Thisappliancecanbeusedbychildrenagedfrom

8 years and above and persons with reduced 

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack 

of experience and knowledge if they have been 

given supervision or instruction concerning use of 

the appliance in a safe way and understand the 

hazards involved. Children shal not play with the 

appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall 

not be made by children without supervision.

– 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 removers, 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 wil  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.

• Oil-af ecteditemscanignitespontaneously,especial y

when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. 

The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in 

the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, 

the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, 

stacking or storing oil-af ected items can prevent heat from 

escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that 

fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been 

contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble 

dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra 

detergent - this wil  reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

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

damp hands or feet.

•Do not pul on the power supply cable when unplugging the 

appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug and pul . 

•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.

Disposal

•Disposingofthepackagingmaterials:observelocal

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• TheEuropeanDirective2012/19/EUonWaste

  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  

  col ected. Consumers should contact their local authority 

  or retailer for information concerning the correct    

  disposal of their old appliance.
Opening the porthole door manually

In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole 

door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the 

laundry, proceed as follows:

1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.

2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower than 

the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water using the 

drain hose, col ecting it in a bucket as indicated in the figure.

3. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the 

lower front part of the washer-dryer (see figure).

4. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, 

until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull 

downwards and open the door at the same time.

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely 

in place before you push it onto the appliance.
