!If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

!Only use the hose-sets supplied with the appliance for the water supply connection (do not reuse old hose-sets).

!Water pressure must be between 0,05 MPa and 0,8 MPa.

!Make sure that a carpet do not obstruct the base of the machine and ventilation openings.

!The OFF condition is reached by placing the reference mark on the programmes control/knob in the vertical position. Any other different position of such control sets the machine in ON condition.

!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.

foam rubber pads should not be 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.

!If it is unavoidable that fabrics contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a washer dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

Detergent drawer

The detergent draw is split into 3 compartments as illustrated in figure 9:

!compartment "1": for prewash detergent;

!compartment “”: for special additives, softeners, starch fragrances, etc.;

WARNING:

only use liquid products; the washing machine is set to automatically dose additives at each cycle during the last rinse.

!compartment "2": for washing detergent.

A liquid detergent cup is also included in some models (fig. 10). To use it, place it in compartment "2". This way, liquid detergent will only enter the drum at the right time. The cup can also be used for bleach when the “Rinse” program is selected.

WARNING:

some detergents are hard to remove. In this case we recommend using the specific container to be placed in the drum (example in figure 11).

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

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.
