! This Washer-dryer was designed and constructed in ac-
cordance with international safety regulations. The following
information is provided for safety reasons and must therefore
be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and know-
ledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without super-
vision.
- Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble
dryer.
- Items that have been soiled with substan-
ces 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 deter-
gent 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 tempera-
ture that ensures that the items will not be
damaged.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer be-
fore 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 open the detergent dispenser drawer while the
machine is in operation.
• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-
ly 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 circum-
stances 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.
• Children of less than 3 years should be kept
away from the appliance unless continuou-
sly supervised.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as
lighters and matches.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU - WEEE 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 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 col-
lected. Consumers should contact their local authority
or retailer for information concerning the correct dispo-
sal of their old appliance.
