!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.

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

!Remove all objects from pockets
such as lighters and matches.
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.

3. PRACTICAL HINTS
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.
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 energy by using a low
temperature wash programme.
Before using a drying programme
(WASHER-DRYERS)
!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.
Load tips
Helpful suggestions for the user
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.
