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.
