Precautions and tips

Load balancing system

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).

4. 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.

! 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.
