Precautions and advice

! The Washer-dryer was designed and built in compliance

with the applicable international safety regulations. The

following information is provided for your safety and should

consequently be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• This appliance can be used by children

aged from 8 years and above and persons

with reduced physical, sensory or men-

tal capabilities or lack of experience and

knowledge if they have been given super-

vision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance in a safe way and understand

the hazards involved. Children shall not

play with the appliance. Cleaning and user

maintenance shall not be made by children

without supervision.

– Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble

dryer.

– Items that have been soiled with substan-

ces such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol,

petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine,

waxes and wax removers should be wa-

shed in hot water with an extra amount of

detergent before being dried in the tumble

dryer.

– Items such as foam rubber (latex foam),

shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber

backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted

with foam rubber pads should not be dried

in the tumble dryer.

– Fabric softeners, or similar products,

should be used as specified by the fabric

softener instructions.

– The final part of a tumble 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 tumble dryer

before the end of the drying cycle unless all

items are quickly removed and spread out

so that the heat is dissipated.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet

or damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplug-

ging the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the

plug and pull.

• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the

machine is in operation.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extre-

mely high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the

safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental

opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any

circumstances access the internal mechanisms in an

attempt to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance

while it is operating.

• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of

two or three people and handle it with the utmost care.

Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is

very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washer-dryer, make

sure the drum is empty.

• During the drying phase, the door tends to get quite hot.

• Do not use the appliance to dry clothes that

have been washed with flammable solvents

(e.g. trichlorethylene).

• Do not use the appliance to dry foam rubber

or similar elastomers.

• Make sure that the water tap is turned on during

the drying cycles.

• Children of less than 3 years should be kept

away from the appliance unless continuou-

sly supervised.

• Remove all objects from pockets such as

lighters and matches.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging material:observe local regula-

tions, so the packaging can be re-used.

• The European Directive 2012/19/EU - WEEE on Waste Elec-

trical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household

electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal

unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must

be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery

and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the

impact on human health and the environment. The crossed

out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of

your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it

must be separately collected. Consumers should contact

their local authority or retailer for information concerning the

correct disposal of their old appliance.

Saving energy and respecting the envi-

ronment

Environmentally-friendly technology

If you only see a little water through your appliance door, this

is because thanks to the latest Indesit technology, your

washing machine only needs less than half the amount of

water to get the best results: an objective reached to respect

the environment.

Saving on detergent, water, energy and time

• To avoid wasting resources, the Washer-dryer should be

used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads

allows you to save up to 50% on energy.

• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely soiled

garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and

between 5 and 15% energy.

• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving them to soak

before washing will cut down the need to wash them at high

temperatures. A programme at 60°C instead of 90°C or one

at 40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on energy.

• Use the correct quantity of detergent depending on the wa-

ter hardness, how soiled the garments are and the amount

of laundry you have, to avoid wastage and to protect the

environment: despite being biodegradable, detergents do

contain ingredients that alter the natural balance of the en-

vironment. In addition, avoid using fabric softener as much

as possible.

• If you use your washing machine from late in the afternoon

until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the

electricity board’s peak load. The Delay Timer option helps

to organise your wash cycles accordingly.

• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer, select a high

spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry

will save you time and energy in the drying process.
