5.2 OPENING THE DOOR

The machine is fitted with a safety device that prevents the door from opening while it is working.

1.Before opening the door, wait 1 or 2 minutes after the programme ends (“End” LED on) to allow the safety device to disengage.

2.Make sure there is no water in the tub and that the drum is not moving. Open the door by pressing the “Open door” button on the front panel and pulling it open.

Attention!

•If the washing programme is interrupted, you will have to wait from 3 to 15 minutes, depending on the temperature of the water, before the door opens.

Attention!

The water may still be boiling if the washing cycle was performed at high temperatures. If there is still water inside the drum, do not open the door!

5.3 PREPARING THE WASHING

Where possible, save electricity by washing full loads divided by type of fabric. Introduce loose washing and alternate large items with small ones. For the first few times, weigh the loads of washing and then rely on your judgement. Average weights of common garments are shown below:

5.4LOADING THE WASHING

1.Open the door and load the washing taking care to distribute it uniformly, loosely and not packed into the drum; alternate large items with small ones if possible.

2.The washer dryer described in this manual can be loaded with up to 5kg of washing. Heavier loads will lead to unsatisfactory washing results and may cause the machine to work incorrectly.

3.To save energy, wash full loads divided by type of fabric, according to the quantities indicated in the “Programmes chart” supplied with this manual.

4.Close the door by pressing it against the body of the appliance until you hear a click. Make sure no garments have got caught between the door and the rubber gasket.

Attention!

•If the door is not closed properly, a safety device prevents the washer dryer from working.

•Do not use more than the recommended amount of detergent: too much may deteriorate washing results.

5.5 ADDING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES

Follow the instructions shown in the “Programme Chart” provided together with the manual and add detergent and any additives to the relative compartment before starting the programme.

Pour the pre-wash powder detergent into the compartment marked “1”.

Pour main wash detergent into compartment “2”. Machine accessories include a red insert “A” that can be placed inside compartment “2” to allow liquid detergent to be used. The additives are automatically introduced into the tub during final rinsing.

Pour liquid additives such as starch and fabric softener into “3”, marked with .

If bleach can be used with the machine (no cover marked with ) add bleach to compartment “4” if you wish. The level of the liquids must not exceed the maximum limit, otherwise the trays will be emptied too soon.

Before pouring thick additives into the tray, dilute them with a little water to prevent them from obstructing the trap.

Only use foam-controlled detergent suitable for use in washer dryers.

Determine the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of the water, and the type, quantity and dirtiness of the washing.

This will allow you to obtain the required effect using as little detergent as possible.

Detergent packs indicate the quantities to use according to 4 levels of hardness and for normally dirty loads of 4-5 kg.

Ask your local water board to tell you how hard your water is.
