Disposal
When disposing of the packaging material: observe
local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
states that household appliances should not be
disposed of using the normal solid urban waste
cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-
using and recycling the materials inside the
machine, while preventing potential damage to
the atmosphere and to public health. The
crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to
remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
For more information relating to the correct
disposal of household appliances, owners should
contact their local authorities or appliance dealer.
Opening the door manually
If it is not possible to open the porthole door due to
a powercut and you wish to hang out the laundry,
proceed as follows:
1. Remove the plug from the
electricity socket;
2. Make sure that the water
level inside the machine is
lower than the door opening;
if this is not the case
remove excess water using
the water outlet hose,
collecting it in a bucket as
shown in the figure;
3. Remove the covering
panel on the front of the
washer-dryer using a
screwdriver (see figure);
4. Using the tab shown in
the figure, pull outwards
until the plastic brace
comes away; pull it
downwards until you
hear a click, which
indicates that the door
is unlocked;
5. Open the door; if this
is still not possible,
repeat the process;
6. Replace the kick strip, making sure that the
hooks are positioned in the right slots before
pushing the panel towards the machine.
