Operation
:Warning
Risk of explosions/fire!
Laundry that has come into
contact with solvents, oil, wax,
wax remover, paint, grease or
stain remover may ignite when
dried in the machine, or even
cause the appliance to explode.
Therefore please note:
■ Rinse the laundry thoroughly
with warm water and
detergent before drying it in
the machine.
■ Do not place laundry in this
appliance to be dried if the
laundry has not been
washed first.
■ Do not use the appliance if
industrial chemicals have
been used to clean the
laundry.
:Warning
Risk of explosions/fire!

Make sure that the area
around the appliance is kept
clean when it is in operation.
:Warning
Risk of fire/material damage/ damage to the appliance!
If a program is terminated
before the drying cycle has
finished, this prevents the
laundry from cooling down
sufficiently and may cause the
laundry to ignite, or may result
in material damage or damage
to the appliance.
■ During the last part of the
drying cycle, the laundry in
the drum is not heated
(cooling cycle). This is to
ensure that it remains at a
temperature at which it will
not be damaged.
■ Do not switch off the
appliance before the drying
cycle has finished unless you
remove all items of laundry
from the drum immediately
and spread them out (to
dissipate the heat).
:Warning

:Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you

Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety
valve in water (it contains an electric
valve).
Notes
■ Only operate the washer dryer using
cold mains water.
■ Do not connect the machine to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hotwater boiler.
■ Do not use a used supply hose. Only
use the supply hose supplied or one
that was purchased from an
authorised specialist retailer.
■ Do not kink or squash the water
supply hose.
■ Do not alter (shorten, cut through)
the water supply hose (otherwise its
strength is no longer guaranteed).
■ Only tighten the screw connections
by hand. If the screw connections
are tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may become
damaged.
Connection
