Installation

• All internal packing must be removed before using

the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to
the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective
transit devices are not removed or are not
completely removed. Refer to the relevant
paragraph in the instruction book.

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance

must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

• Any plumbing work required to install this

appliance must be carried out by a qualified
plumber.

• After having installed the machine, check that it is

not standing on its electrical supply cable.

• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor,

ensure that air can circulate freely between the
bottom of the unit and the floor.

• The appliance must not be installed behind a

lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge
on the opposite side to that of the washer-dryer in
such a way that a full opening of the washer-dryer
door is restricted.

• Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid the

back flow of gases into the room from appliances
burning other fuels, including open fires.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It

must not be used for purposes other than those for
which it was designed.

• Only wash and dry fabrics which are designed to

be machine washed and dried. Follow the
instructions on each garment label.

• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the

instructions in the instruction book.

• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such

as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause
extensive damage.

• Do not machine wash garments saturated with

petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc.
If such fluids have been used to remove stains
prior to washing, wait until they have completely
evaporated from the fabric before placing
garments in the appliance.

• The washer-dryer is not to be used if industrial

chemicals have been used for cleaning.

Warnings

• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a

cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting
trapped between the drum and the tub.

• If you use a liquid detergent with a dispenser which

has to be placed directly in the drum, remember to
remove this dispenser before drying.

• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric

softener and detergent.  An excessive amount
could damage the laundry or machine.

• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the

appliance is not in use. This preserves the door
seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.

• Always check that water has emptied out before

opening the door. If not, drain the water following
the instructions in the instruction book.

• Clean the lint trap after every cycle. Lint must not

be allowed to accumulate around the unit, ensure
the area is kept clean of lint.

• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water

tap after use.

General safety

• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by

qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local Service Centre.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the

plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.

• During high temperature wash programmes and

during the drying cycle the door glass may get hot.
Do not touch it! 

To minimize the risk of fire in a washer-dryer,
following should be observed:

• Items that have been spotted or soaked with

vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard
and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources such as
in a washer-dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.
