●Only wash and dry fabrics which are designed to be machine washed and dried. If in doubt, consult the care label on the clothes.

●Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and grass before washing. Underwired bras must NOT be machine washed.

●Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

●Garments which have been in contact with volatile petroleum products should not be machine washed. If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken to ensure that the fluid is removed from the garment before placing in the machine.

●Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the inner drum.

●Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener. Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.

●As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed/dried in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine.

●Plastic detergent dispensers should not remain in the drum during the drying cycle, as the plastic used is not designed to withstand the heat. If you wish to wash-through-to-dry you should use the conventional detergent dispenser drawer.

●Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes to preserve the door seal.

●Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Furthermore, it will invalidate your guarantee. Contact your local Service Force Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

Your New Washer-Dryer

This new machine, meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

●The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

●The balance control device ensures that the machine remains stable when spinning.

●Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 95°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.

●The two drying programmes will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

●The ECO VALVE allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

●Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.

●Select the “Quick” wash option for lightly soiled laundry.

●A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry.

●Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

●Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times.

Important

In the interest

of the environment

●Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

●Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.

●When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.

●Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it should be taken to the appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, it is because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working".
