!This washer-dryer was designed and constructed in accordance with international safety regulations. The fol- lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore be read carefully.

General safety

•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (inclu- ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsi- ble for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

–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 re- movers, 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.

•This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

•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 touch the drained water as it may reach extre- mely 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 circum- stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt to repair it yourself.

•Always keep children well away from the appliance while it is operating.

•If it must be moved, proceed with the help of two or th- ree 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).

Disposal

GB

•Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regu-

 

lations 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 the im-

 

pact 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

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

 

laundry, proceed as follows:

electrical socket.

 

2. make sure the water level

 

inside the machine is lower

ting it in a bucket as indicated

 

in the figure.

 

3. using a screwdriver,

 

remove the cover panel on

 

the lower front part of the
