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.

The Washer-dryer must only be used by adults, in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual.

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 2002/96/EC 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 GB 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.
