This appliance is tagged in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment - WEEE.
This directive contains the regulations governing the collection and recycling of decommissioned appliances
throughout the European Union.
The symbol of the rubbish bin with a line through it on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the prod-
uct must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its life cycle. The user is thus obliged to
consign scrapped appliances to the special electronic and electrotechnical waste disposal centres, or return
them to the dealer on purchase of a similar new appliance, on a one-to-one basis.
Consignment to the appropriate facility for environmentally responsible recycling, treatment and disposal
helps to prevent any negative effects on the environment and health, and encourages the reuse and/or recy-
cling of the appliance’s component materials.
Illegal dumping of the appliance by the user will be subject to prosecution under the relevant law.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
Attention!
You are advised to read all the instructions in this manual carefully;
it will inform you about the right conditions for the proper, safe use
of your washer-dryer

1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY AND USE
Attention!
These precautions are detailed for reasons of safety.
This section must be read carefully before installation and
use.
Disposing of packaging
Never leave packaging residues unattended in the home.
Separate waste packaging materials by type and consign
them to the nearest recycling centre.
Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) must not
be left within reach of children.
Disposing of old appliances
Once no longer in use, appliances must be rendered un-
usable: permanently disarm the lock on the door (this
will prevent children risking their lives by locking them-
selves inside during play) and cut the power supply lead
after removing the plug from the socket.
The appliance must be delivered to a recycling facility.
Environmental protection

er exceed the maximum permitted load.

Do not use the prewash function for lightly or normally soiled
items.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations on detergent
usage.
Use the highest spin speed permitted for the fabric type. Fast
spins reduce the drying time and thus energy consumption.
Safety instructions
This appliance is intended for domestic use and is compliant
with Directives 72/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC (including Direc-
tives 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC) currently in force.
Read all the instructions in this manual carefully before instal-
lation and use.
Check that the drum assembly has been released before use
(see instructions). Failure to release the drum assembly may
cause damage to the washer-dryer and the surrounding furni-
ture or appliances during the spin cycle.
This Instruction Manual is an integral part of the appliance: it
must always be kept intact with the appliance. Installation
must be carried out by qualified staff in compliance with the
relevant regulations. The appliance is built to provide the fol-
lowing functions: washing and drying of clothes or fabrics
stated to be suitable for machine washing by the producer on
the relevant label. All other uses are to be considered im-

The plug to be connected to the power supply lead and the
relative socket must be of the same type and comply with the
relevant regulations. Check that the mains voltage and fre-
quency are the same as the values marked on the name-
plate. The use of adapters or junctions is not recommended.

thrust it away from the sink, causing the risk of flooding.
When connecting the hose to a sink also check that the wa-
ter drains from it quickly, as otherwise the sink may
overflow.
Do not overload the appliance.
Never use detergents which contain solvents or chemicals for
