Cautions & advice about using your washer-dryer
In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from your
washer-dryer, please ensure you follow the instructions given below:
9Select the clothes load correctly and choose the appropriate programme.
9Before opening the door, check that there is no water in the machine
and the pilot light is off.
9Put the washing products in the right proportion and in the right compartment.
9Small garments such as socks, belts, etc. are best put inside a bag to
avoid their being lost.
9Before putting clothes into the washing machine, make sure that there is
nothing in the pockets (coins, buttons, clips, etc.) and that the zips are
undone.
9If your machine has a filter, you should check regularly that it is clean &
not blocked. Be especially wary of coins, brassiere wire & fluff/hair.
9The interior of the washer-dryer should be handled by specialists only. NEVER
attempt to repair or modify it yourself.
9After each wash, leave the door ajar to prevent the rubber seal from
becoming misshapen or mouldy.
9When the clothes to be washed are heavily soiled or splattered with mud, it is
advisable to run a programme with pre-wash.
9Unless doing half-load washing, always put the machine on fully loaded
to save energy.
9Do not use the dryer function if the clothes have been treated with any non-
aqueous solution.
9Do not use the dryer function for items containing any kind of spongy rubber or
similar elastomer materials.
9The washer-dryer must be installed in a well-ventilated place, away
from the influence of gases from other appliances and from
defective installations.
9The lower ventilation, between the floor and the base of the machine must not
be obstructed (by carpet, cloths, etc.).
9When the machine has just been installed, or after a long time without
its being used, it is advisable to run a washing programme with the
machine empty, to eliminate any rusty water in the tubes.
