Precautions and tips

!The machine 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 is not intended for use by persons (including 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 responsible 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 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.

•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 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.

•If it must be moved, proceed with the help 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.

	Load balancing system	EN
	Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations	EN
	Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations
	before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform
	manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which
	is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If,
	after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly,
	the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is
	excessively unbalanced, the Washer-dryer performs the
	distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage
	improved load distribution and balance, we recommend
	small and large garments are mixed in the load.

Disposal

•Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

•The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed- out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

For more information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners should contact their local authorities or appliance dealer.

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. remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washer dryer (see overleaf).

pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure, until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position; pull downwards until you hear a “click”, which indicates that the door is now unlocked.

5.open the door; if this is still not possible repeat the procedure.

6.reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.
