Warning: Risk of fire / Flammable materials. To avoid the possible
danger of fire, please read these warnings carefully.
 Do not install the washer-dryer in rooms that are subject to frost.
Frozen hoses may burst or split, and the reliability of the electronic
control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
 Before using the machine for the first time, check that the transit
bars at the rear of the appliance have been removed (see
“Installation - Removing the transit bars”). During the spin cycle, a
transit bar which is still in place may result in damage to the washer-
dryer and adjacent furniture or appliances.
 Turn off the tap if the washer-dryer is to be left for a longer period
of time (e.g. while on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain
(gully) in the immediate vicinity.
 Danger of flooding! If hooking the drain hose into a wash basin,
check that the water can drain away fast enough to prevent the sink
from overflowing. Secure the drain hose against slipping. The force
of the water flowing out of the hose can dislodge it.
 Make sure that no foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper
clips) find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may
damage components of the machine (e.g. suds container, drum).
Damaged components can, in turn, result in damage to the laundry.
 Take care to remove any detergent dispensing aids (e.g. detergent
balls) before drying the laundry. These can melt during the drying
programme and cause damage to the machine and the laundry.
