Wash and dry

To wash and dry a load with no interruption between the

wash and dry cycles, make sure that the load does not
exceed the maximum permissible drying load for the
selected programme (see the column “Max. load for drying
cycle” in the Programme chart).

1. Follow the instructions given in the paragraph “Wash Only”
to select and, if necessary, customise the required
programme.

Select the type of drying desired, by pressing the

“Trockengrad” button for automatic drying levels or the
“Trockenzeit” button to set drying time.

- Automatic drying with selectable levels:
In automatic drying mode, the washer dryer machine dries
the laundry until the set level of dryness is reached. Pressing
button “Trockengrad” once automatically selects the highest
drying level available for the selected programme. Press the
button again to reduce the drying level.

The following levels are available:
Wardrobe : laundry is completely dry and ready to be put
away in the wardrobe without ironing.
Hanger : laundry is left slightly damp to minimise
creasing. Garments must be hung to air dry completely.
Iron : garments are left reasonably damp to make ironing
easier.

- Timer drying mode:

To set a specic drying time, press the “Trockenzeit” button
until the led for the desired time is illuminated. Values from
180 to 40 minutes are settable.

To wash a load of laundry larger than the maximum
permissible load for drying (see the column “Max. load for
drying cycle” in the Programme chart), remove a few garments
once the washing cycle has nished before starting the
drying cycle. Proceed as follows:

1. Follow the instructions given in the paragraph “Wash
Only” to select and, if necessary, customise the required
programme.

2. Do not include a drying cycle.

3. Once the washing cycle is nished, open the door and
remove a few garments to reduce the load. Now follow the
instructions for “Dry only”.

N.B.: always allow a cooling down period after drying before
opening the door.

When using the two preset cycles “Waschen & Trocknen 45’”
and “Waschen & Trocknen 90’”, it is not necessary to select and
start a drying cycle.

Dry only

This function is used to simply dry a wet load washed
previously in the washer dryer or by hand.

1. Select a suitable programme for the laundry you want to dry
(e.g. select cotton to dry wet cotton laundry).

2. Press button “Nur Trocknen” to dry without a wash cycle.

3. Select the type of drying desired, by pressing the
“Trockengrad” button for automatic drying levels or the
“Trockenzeit” button to set drying time.

button “Trockengrad” once automatically selects the highest
drying level available for the selected programme. Press the
button again to reduce the drying level.

HINTS AND TIPS

RULES FOR SEPARATING LAUNDRY

• Fabric type / indications on label (cotton, mixed bres, synthetic,
wool, handwash items)

• Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new
coloured items separately)

• Size (wash items of dierent sizes in the same load to improve
washing ecacy and weight distribution in the drum)

• Delicates (place small items – such as nylon stockings – and
garments with clasps – such as braziers – in a laundry bag or in a
pillow case with a zip).

EMPTY POCKETS

• Objects such as coins or safety pins can damage laundry and the
washer dryer drum.

WASH SYMBOLS

ON GARMENT LABELS

The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum temperature
possible for washing the garment.

CLEAN THE WATER FILTER REGULARLY

• This is needed to prevent the lter from blocking and preventing
the water from draining correctly. See the section “Cleaning and
Maintenance” / “Cleaning the water lter” in the detailed guide
that may be requested or downloaded from the website.

SAVING ENERGY AND PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT

• Keeping within the load limits indicated in the programme chart
will optimise energy, water and detergent consumption and
reduce washing times.

• Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended by the
detergent manufacturer.

• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 90°C wash programme,
or by using a 40°C instead of a 60°C wash programme. We
recommend using the “ Baumwolle ” 60 °C programme for
cotton garments, which is longer but uses less energy.

• To save energy and time when washing and drying, select
highest spin speed available for the programme to reduce the
residual water remaining in the garments at the end of the wash
cycle.

Selectable/optional

For wash programmes with temperatures above 50°C, we recommend using powder detergent rather than liquid, and following the directions given on
the detergent package.

1) Test programme in compliance with standard EN 50229 (Wash): select the “ Baumwolle “ programme with a temperature of 60°C.

2) Long cotton programme: set the “ Baumwolle “ programme with a temperature of 40°C.

3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle PFLEGELEICHT with a temperature of 40°C.

The cycle duration indicated on the display or in the manual is an estimated time calculated for standard conditions. The actual cycle time may vary in relation
to a number of dierent factors, such as inlet water temperature and pressure, ambient temperature, quantity of detergent, size and type of load, load
balancing and any additional optional functions selected.
