Observe the dosage
recommendation from the detergent
manufacturer.
Reduce the washing temperature for
lightly and normally soiled laundry.
■ At low temperatures, the appliance
consumes less energy. For light to
normal soiling, lower temperatures
than indicated on the care label are
also sufficient.
Set the maximum spin speed if you
want to dry the laundry in a tumble dryer
afterwards.
■ The drier the laundry, the shorter the
programme duration when drying
which, in turn, reduces energy
consumption. A higher spin speed
reduces the residual moisture in the
laundry and increases the volume of
the spin noise.
Wash the laundry without prewash.
■ Washing with prewash increases the
programme duration and increases
energy and water consumption.
The appliance has a continuous
automatic load adjustment function.
■ Depending on the type of fabric and
load capacity, the continuous
automatic load adjustment function
optimally adjusts the water
consumption and programme
duration.
Automatic switch off
If the appliance is not operated for a
prolonged period (approx. 5 minutes), it
will automatically switch off (depending
on the water level inside of appliance)
before the programme starts and after
the programme has ended. Press the
power button # again to switch on the
appliance.
Note: If Wi-Fi is activated, the appliance
will not automatically switch itself off
and the energy consumption increases
in comparison to the values specified in
the consumption value table.

:Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety
valve* in water (it contains an electric
valve).
* Depending on the model
Observe the following when connecting
the appliance:
Notes
■ Only operate the appliance using
cold mains water.
■ Do not connect the appliance to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hotwater boiler.
■ Do not use a used supply hose. Only
use the supply hose supplied or one
that was purchased from an
authorised specialist retailer.
■ Do not bend, squash, modify or cut
through the water supply hose
(otherwise its strength is no longer
guaranteed).
■ Only tighten the screw connections
by hand. If the screw connections
are tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may be
damaged.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.
Connection
1. Connect the water supply hose to
the water tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to
the appliance:
– Model: Standard
– Model: AquaSecure
– Model: Aqua-Stop
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least 100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum 1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow is
at least 8 l/min.
Tip: Connect also an external water
filter (depending on the model)
between water supply hose and tap.
The filter filters dirt particles out of the
water.
Water filter must be cleaned regularly
to remove contaminants. This will
prevent blockages. See also ~
17
en Positioning and connecting
separate installation and cleaning
instruction for water filter.
2. Open the water tap carefully,
checking the leak tightness of the
connection points. The screw
connection is under mains water
pressure.

Risk of scalding!
When you are washing at high
temperatures, there is a risk of scalding
if you come into contact with hot water
(e.g. when draining hot water into a
washbasin).
Do not reach into the hot water.
Caution!
Water damage
When water is being pumped away, the
outlet hose is under water pressure and
may slip out of the wash basin or
connection point.
Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Connection
■ Drainage into a siphon
The connection point must be
secured using a hose clamp with a
diameter of 24 - 40 mm (available
from specialist dealers).

Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:
■ Type of fabric/fibre
■ Colour
Note: Laundry may discolour. Wash
white and coloured items separately.
Wash new coloured items separately
the first time you wash them.
■ Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
Some examples of soiling levels can
be found in the chapter
– Light: Do not need to pretreat,
adjust the Speed setting if
necessary.
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry, need
to pretreat or soak laundry firstly.
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains
while they are fresh. First dab
with soapy water; do not rub.
Then wash the items of laundry
with the appropriate programme.
Stubborn or dried-in stains can
sometimes only be removed by
washing several times.
■ Symbols on the care labels
M Suitable for normal washing
process;
e.g. Cotton programme
N A gentle washing process is
required;
e.g. Easy Care programme
O An especially gentle washing
process is required;
e.g. Delicate/Silk programme
W Suitable for washing by hand;
e.g. W Wool/Handwash
programme
Ž Do not machine wash.
Preparing laundry for drying
Note: To ensure an even drying result,
sort the laundry according to the:
■ Type of fabric
■ Care symbols which are indicated on
the care labels.
Only dry laundry which is labelled
“dryer-proof” or which has the following
care symbols:
■ a : You can select
Cotton + Dry
■ ` : You can select
Mix+ Dry
The following textiles should not be
dried:
■ b = care symbol “Do not dry”
■ Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains).
■ Textiles which contain foam rubber
or similar materials.

flammable liquids, e.g. with stain
remover, petroleum ether, thinners.
Risk of explosion!
■ Textiles which still contain hairspray
or similar substances.
Notes
■ Before drying, hand-washed textiles
must be spun at the appropriate spin
speed.
■ Before drying, spin at the optimum
speed. A spin speed of more than
1000 rpm is recommended for
cotton, more than 800 rpm for easycare textiles.
■ Do not iron washing immediately
after drying. It is recommended to

■ Some phosphate-free detergents contain water-insoluble residue.
■ Select Rinse or brush the laundry after washing.
This is an innovative process known as thermal spinning used to reduce energy

Fluff found on the laundry. Run the Drum Clean — (cold) programme without laundry and detergent to
remove fluff which have accumulated inside the drum during the previous dry-
ing cycle.
Water inlet noise during
the drying phase.
The washer dryer uses water condensation technology, water is constantly
needed to dry the laundry. Therefore the water tap must be on all the time, till
the end of the drying phase.
Drying duration extended. ■ Run the Drum Clean — (cold) programme to remove fluff which has col-
lected in the washer drum during the drying phase.
■ If the ambient temperature is higher than 30 °C, this may extend the drying
time.
■ Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-
late the room.

Faults Cause/Remedy
The drying result is not
satisfactory (laundry is
not dry enough).
■ After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actu-
ally is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
■ Excessively high ambient temperature (above 30 °C) or inadequate ventila-
tion in the room in which the washer dryer is situated.
■ The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying. Always set the
highest selectable spin speed for the particular washing programme.
■ Washer dryer overloaded: Observe the recommendations for the maximum
load in the programme table and on the load display. Do not overload the
washer dryer, as the maximum load for the drying phase is less than the
maximum load for the wash cycle. Unload the washer dryer after washing
with the maximum load and divide the laundry into two drying cycles.
■ The power supply voltage is too low (below 200 V) – provide a suitable
power supply.
■ The water pressure is low. According to water condensing principle, low
water pressure will cause evaporated steam to not condense properly and
completely.
■ The water tap is closed during drying. Due to the use of the water conden-
sation technology for drying, please keep the connected water tap open
during the drying process, otherwise proper drying cannot be guaranteed.
■ Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings dry easily on the sur-
face, but not inside. This equalisation process may take longer. For these
types of textiles, select drying mode ¾ (Cupboard dry+) or select My
Time with Dry.
