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 was designed for domestic use only.
• 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.
• 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.
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 washing machine (
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.
