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 shall 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 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.
• Oil-affecteditemscanignitespontaneously,especially
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-affected 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 will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
•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.
• Donotusetheappliancetodryclothesthat

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
collected. 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, collecting 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.
