General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• Before loading the washer dryer:
– ensure no young child or pet has climbed into the drum – ensure the water inlet hose is properly connected and the tap is turned on
– remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches
– check clothing for any hard, sharp objects such as coins, safety pins, paper clips, bra wires, nails, screws or stones can cause extensive damage to the appliance and block the pump. Any damage or malfunction resulting from foreign objects is not covered by your warranty and may lead to expensive repairs.
• Suitability for washing: Only load suitable items into the washing machine. See page 28 for which materials are unsuitable for the washing machine.
• Suitability for tumble drying: Only load suitable items into the clothes dryer. See page 28 for which materials are unsuitable for the clothes dryer and may present a re risk.
CAUTION!
• Do not use the tumble dryer function if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items using tumble dryer function.
• Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.
This symbol alerts you to take care as oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat, such as in a clothes 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.
• Cool down: The nal part of a clothes dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that will not damage them.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items
are removed quickly and spread out so the heat is dissipated.
• Door lock: In order to prevent burns, during the nal part of the dry cycle the machine will reduce the temperature of the drum. The time on the display will stop reducing during this process. The door will unlock only after the temperature has reduced. Do not stop
the machine during this cooling period.
• Flammable, explosive or toxic substances must not be used as washing detergents or for cleaning the machine.
• Capacity: Do not overload this machine; its maximum capacity is 10kg (for a dry wash load), or 6 kg for the dryer function. See page 23 for more information.
• Water intake: Never refill the water by hand during washing.
• After use: After the program is finished, wait until the drum has stopped spinning and
the door lock icon is no longer lit before opening the door. If water is still visible, do not attempt to open the door. Do not add or remove clothes while the drum is spinning.

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• Subsequent cycles: After turning off the power supply to the machine, wait at least two minutes before turning it back on again.
• Disconnect the water and power supplies after use.
CAUTION: Hot!
• Parts of the appliance can become hot during use and retain heat for some time after
turning off. Do not touch hot surfaces! Keep the power cord away from hot parts. Do not cover the appliance.
• During a hot wash, or the drying process, the door window may become hot. Do not
touch it, and ensure to keep children and pets away from the machine during operation.
• Be careful of burning when the machine drains hot washing water.
Cleaning and maintenance
• Disconnect: Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, always unplug the appliance
from the power supply.
• CAUTION! After each wash, clean the door and the door seals and remove any
threads, lint or foreign objects. Also check the detergent drawer and clean out detergent residues. Regularly clean the power plug to remove dust and dirt and avoid contact failure. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be carried out by children without supervision. Do not spray the machine with water.
• CAUTION! Cleaning the inside of your machine regularly is particularly important if you frequently use a cold wash cycle, especially if you also use a fabric softener. Liquid detergents can cause detergent scum to build up around the outside of the drum, which cold water will not remove and which can cause bacteria, unpleasant odours, and eventually soiling of your wash load.
• Do not open the housing: The washing machine has no user-serviceable parts contained within. Do not attempt to repair or dismantle it.
• Do not attempt to modify this product in any way. Doing so is dangerous and will void your warranty.
• Service: Only have the appliance serviced by authorised service personnel. Service or
repairs carried out by inexperienced or unqualified persons may cause injury and/or make more serious repairs to the appliance necessary.
• NOTE: While your washer dryer combo does not have a lint filter to maintain, excess lint
can collect in the drain pump. It is important to clean the drain pump every two months to ensure optimal product performance and the longevity of your machine.
CAUTION!
The door will not unlock when the temperature inside the drum is above 53°C, and/or when the water is above a certain level.
For your safety, do not turn the program dial to the off position [ O ], open the machine and access the washing while the machine is running, or when the power supply is cut off. The water temperature may be high and it may scald you. The door will automatically unlock at the end of a wash program when the temperature of the drum has cooled down.

Removing the transit boltsRemoving the transit bolts
WARNING!
Before installing the washer dryer, you must remove the transit bolts from the back of the housing and cover the holes with the transit hole caps provided.
The bolts hold the drum in place during transport but they must be removed before use so the drum can move during the wash and spin cycles. Leaving the bolts installed will result in strong shock and noise during use, malfunction and serious damage to the machine.
• Dismantle the four transit bolts from the
back of the machine using an appropriate tool (Fig. 2).
• Keep the bolts in a safe place; you will
need them again when moving the appliance, if you move house, for example.
• Cover the holes with the supplied caps.
Selecting the location
Before installing the appliance, make sure the location meets the following requirements:
• A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washer dryer, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.
• The machine must be level and securely
positioned. It must be protected from direct sunlight, water and weather.
• The distance between the machine and
wall must be more than 10cm (Fig. 3).
• To avoid vibrations during spinning, the
machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings. If the appliance must be placed on a carpeted surface, place a plastic mat underneath and ensure any ventilation openings in the base are not obstructed.

Levelling the machine
WARNING!
It is very important to level the washer dryer carefully, especially if your floor is uneven. Failure to do so may result in the machine shaking and moving during the spin cycle, or out-of-balance problems.
Place the machine on solid, dry and level ground. The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may cause vibrations and noise and may cause the machine to move about.
To determine whether levelling is necessary, place a spirit level on top of the washer dryer and hold it upright against the housing to identify any inclinations. If the machine needs levelling, proceed as follows (Fig. 4):
Fig. 4
• Loosen the lock nut with a spanner, turning it anticlockwise to loosen.
• Adjust the foot by hand until it makes close contact with the floor. Turn it clockwise to lower the foot or anticlockwise to raise it.
• When the machine is level, use a spanner to turn the lock nut in a clockwise direction to tighten.
WARNING!
The lock nuts on all four feet must be screwed tightly against the housing, otherwise the machine may vibrate noisily during operation.
