If it is unavoidable that fabrics contain
vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products
be placed in washer-dryer, it should
first be washed in hot water with extra
detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate the hazard. The “cool down”
cycle of washer-dryer is used to
reduce the temperature of the items.
It should not be removed from the
washer-dryer or piled or stacked
while hot.
The users should always check that
they have not left their gas lighters
(disposable or otherwise) in their
clothing.
Items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil
constitute a fire hazard and should
not placed in a washer-dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite sponta-
neously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as in washer-dry-
er. The items become warm, causing
an oxidation creates heat.
If the heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch fire.
Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected
items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a fire hazard.
Items containing foam rubber (also
known as latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber, like materials should
not be dried in a washer-dryer on a
heat setting.
Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a washer-dryer
to eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless this practice is
specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
Undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements should not be placed
in a washer-dryer. Damage to the
washer-dryer can result if metal
reinforcements come loose during
drying. When available a drying rack
could be used for such itmes.
Plastic articles such as shower caps
or babies’ waterproof napkin covers
should not be placed in washer-dryer.
Foam rubber materials can produce
fire by spontaneous combustion when
heated.
Items that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or
spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents or other flammable
or explosive substances should not be
placed in washer-dryer.
Highly flammable substances
commonly used in domestic environ-
ments include acetone, denatured
alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosine, spot
removers (some brands), turpentine,
waxes and wax removers.

WASHING HINTS8.
Follow the wash code symbols on each
garment label and the manufacturer’s
washing instructions. Sort the laundry as
follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics,
delicates, woollens.
8.1 Sorting The Laundry
8.2 Temperatures

Temp Soil level
60°C
50°C
40°C
30°C
Cold
For normally soiled, colourfast
garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pajamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and
for lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g.underwear).
For delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry
including synthetic fibres and
woollens bearing the label pure
new wool, machine washable,
non-shrink.
For normally soiled white
cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths,
towels, tablecloths, sheets...).
Never wash whites and coloured
fabrics together. Whites may lose their
“whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first
wash; they should therefore be
washed separately the first time.
Button up pillowcases,
close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers.
Tie any belts or long
tapes.
Remove persistent stains before
washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a
special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care.
Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag
or a net.
Make sure that no
metal objects are
left in the laundry
(e.g. coin, hair clips,
safety pins, pins).
8.3 Before Loading The
Laundry
Recommended loads are indicated in the
program charts on page 11.
Washing a maximum load makes the
most efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the
load size.
Cotton, linen
drum full but not too
tightly packed;
Clothes LoadQuantity
Synthetics
drum no more than
half full;
Delicate fabrics
and woollens
drum no more than
one third full.
8.4 Maximum Loads
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water.
For dried stains, soak overnight in water
with a special detergent then rub in the
soap and water.
Stubborn stains may not be removed by
just water and detergent. It is therefore
advisable to treat them prior to washing.
8.5 Removing Stains
Wash bras, pantyhose
and other delicates in a
mesh laundry bag,
which you can purchase
from your supermarket.
Make sure that you wash lint collectors
separately from lint producers.
General rules:
25
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine
stain remover, lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain; treat several
times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with
turpentine, lay the garment on a soft
surface and dab the stain with the
fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or
a rust removing product used in cold
water. Be careful with rust stains which
are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged
and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse
well (whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with
acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone (*) as
above, then treat stains with methylated
spirits. Remove any residual marks from
white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent,
rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid,
then rinse. Treat any residual marks with
bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink,
moisten the fabric first with acetone (*),
then with acetic acid; treat any residual
marks on white fabrics with bleach and
then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub
with detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
Low sudsing detergent is required for this
Washer-Dryer to prevent oversudsing
problems, unsatisfactory washing result
and harm to the machine.
8.6 Detergents Type And
Quantity Of Detergent
Do not use wrong types of detergent,
such as Top Loading, Handwash
detergent or Soap-Based products in
your frontload Washer-Dryer. This can
result in excessive suds, longer cycle
time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing
and overloading of the motor.
The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on ;
type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc.) ;
degree of soil ;
size of the load ;
wash temperature ; and
hardness of the water used.
the colour of clothes ;
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
You may have to try using the detergent
quantity as per manufacturers’
instructions then compare the wash
result to the list below and adjust the
amount of detergent for your future
washes accordingly.
Water hardness is classified by so-called
“degrees” of hardness.
The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable detergents
contain substances which in large
quantities can upset the delicate balance
of nature.
Low sudsing detergents designed for
front load washing machines are labelled
“Front Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”,
such as Cold Power for Front Loaders or
“Matic”.

9.1 Preparing The Drying Cycle
For drying, follow the indications given on
the manufacturer’s labels:
The average drying time for a timed
drying are indicated in the “Time Dry ”
option (see page 14). The experience will
help you to dry your laundry in a more
suitable way according to the different
fabrics.
Therefore, the water tap must be open
and the drain hose must drain water into
a sink or into the drain pipe, even during
the drying cycle.
Before starting the drying program.
Make sure the load size does not
exceed the maximum drying capacity
of the machine. In order to obtain
good performances. (Refer page 11)
9.2 Laundry Not Suitable For
Drying
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments
of the dispenser drawer before starting
the wash program.
If using liquid detergents, a
program without prewash must
be selected.
Particularly delicate items such as
synthetic curtains, woollen and silk,
garments with metal inserts, nylon
stockings, bulky garments such as
anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleeping
bags and duvets must not be machine
dried.

Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the
level. A correct adjustment of the
appliance level prevents vibration, noise
and the movement of the appliance when
in operation.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor. Install the machine on a flat hard
floor. Make sure that air circulation
around the machine is not impeded by
carpets, rugs etc.
When the Washer-Dryer is levelled, try to
rock it from corner to corner. If it does
rock, adjust the legs again until it is
levelled and does not rock.
Check that the machine does not touch
the wall or cupboard units.
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap
with 3/4” BSP thread.
Use the hose supplied with the Washer-
Dryer. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.
14.3 Water Inlet
The inlet hose must not be lengthened.
If it is too short and you do not wish to
move the tap, you will have to purchase
a new, longer hose specially designed
for this type of use.
Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to
the left or right depending on the position
of your water tap. Do not place the inlet
hose downwards. After positioning the
inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.
The end of the drain hose can be
positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink,
using the plastic hose guide supplied
with the machine.

Guide
Push the drain hose onto the spigot
and secure with a clamp, ensure a
loop is formed in the drain hose to
prevent waste from the sink entering
the appliance.
In a sink, drain pipe branch.
Directly into a drain pipe, at a height
of not less than 60 cm and not more
than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always
be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter
of the drain pipe must be larger than
the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be twisted or
curled. Run it along the floor; only the
part near the drainage point must be
raised.
In this case, make sure the end cannot
come unhooked when the machine will
be emptied. This could be done by tying
it to the tap with a piece of string or
attaching it to the wall.
For the correct functioning of the
machine, the drain hose must remain
hooked on the proper support piece
situated on the top part of back side of
the appliance.
This branch must be above the trap so
that the bend is at least 60 cm above
the ground.

ENVIRONMENT CONCERNS15.
Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without prewashing in order to
save detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).
The machine works more economically
if it is fully loaded.
With adequate pre-treatment, stains
and limited soiling can be removed; the
laundry can then be washed at a lower
temperature.
Measure out detergent according to
the water hardness, the degree of
soiling and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
