The final part of a washer 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 washer dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

After installation, the appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

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 way that a full opening of the washer dryer door is restricted.

The maximum load capacity of dry clothes depends on the model used (see control panel).

The appliance is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.

Do not dry unwashed items in the washer 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 washer dryer.

Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric softener instructions.

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

3. PRACTICAL TIPS

Load tips

WARNING: when sorting laundry, make sure:

- have eliminated metallic objects such as hair clips, pins, coins, from laundry;

- to have buttoned pillow cases, closed zips, tied loose belts and long robe ribbons;

- to have removed rollers, hooks or clips from curtains;

- to have carefully read clothing washing labels;

- to have removed any persistent stains using specific detergents.

When washing rugs, bedcovers or other

heavy clothing, we recommend you avoid the spinning cycle.

To wash wool, make sure the item can be

machine washed. Check the fabric label.

Helpful suggestions for the user

A guide environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.

Maximise The Load Size

Achieve the best use of energy, water,

detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.

Do you need to pre-wash?

For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Is a hot wash required?

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak

dried in stains in water before washing to

reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.

Before using a drying programme…

SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.

When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a

normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.

For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.

For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid

detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.

For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.
