Important
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the ma-chine is
stable during the spin.
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash
cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device
may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section
headed "Something Not Working".

Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to
save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments.
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded (for both washing and drying cycles).
• When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.
• The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately spun
before being dried.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
9
Main features of your washer-dryer
• Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.
• Stain option for effectively treating stained washing.
• Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items.
• SOAK programme for heavy soiled items. The machine performs a soak at
30°C. By pressing the DELAY START button the soak time can be prolonged
up to 10 hours max. This programme cannot be used with WOOL programme. The Soak programme ends with water in the tub. Before selecting
the desired washing programme, drain the water setting the drain programme.
• Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 900, 700 or 500 rpm.
• RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to prevent creasing.
• DELAY START (delayed start): programme start can be delayed by
30 minutes to 23 hours (e.g. to times with a more economical power
rate).
• Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected and
the programme phase which is running.
• Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes your
garments with extreme care.
• The drying programmes will enable you to have dry and soft laundry in a
short time.
• 3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener.
• Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.
