Environmental protection/economy tips
–Separate out the various waste materials of the packaging and take them to the nearest collection point.
–Always fill the washer-dryer with the maximum load for the relevant programme.
–Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
–Instead of Cottons 90 °C, select the Cottons 60 °C, @ Intensiv programme. This gives comparable results, but uses less energy.
–Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions and in line with the local water hardness.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/ WEEE 19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste

Your new washer-dryer
Description of the washer-dryer
Door
The washer-dryer can be used in 3 ways –> page 17:
–washing only
–drying only
–successive washing and drying.
The successive wash-dry programme automatically shifts from the wash cycle to the dry cycle without further intervention.
Drying is achieved using the condensation principle. The condensate that is produced during drying runs via the Drain hose into the Drain tank.
Caution: the water supply hose and water Drain hose must be correctly connected during washing and drying –> page 28. The tap must be open.
A safety device prevents the door from being opened during operation.
Before opening
Make sure that there is no water in the drum and that the drum is not moving.
Emergency release
In the event of a power cut, the door can be released mechanically –> page 23.

Detergents and care products 
Compartment I : detergent for pre-wash. Compartment II : detergent for main wash,
Compartment i : Liquid additives, such as starch or fabric softener. Additives are automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
–Do not exceed the maximum capacity, otherwise compartment i may be emptied too early.
–Dilute viscous additives with water to prevent blockages.
Liquid detergent insert: this must be inserted before liquid detergents are used.
To do this:
Pull out the detergent drawer as far as the stop.
Press on the zone labelled PUSH and take out the detergent drawer.
Pull the insert in compartment II forwards as far as the stop and push it down.
Insert the detergent drawer.
Descaler can be added to compartments I and II according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add detergent first, followed by the descaler.
Risk of poisoning
Keep detergents and care products out of the reach of children.
Risk of chemical burns
Take care when opening the detergent drawer. There may still be detergent residues in the drawer.
Select the correct dosage for the detergent according to:
–the size of the load,
–the instructions of the detergent manufacturer,
–how dirty the laundry is,
–the water hardness. You can find out about water hardness in your area from your local waterworks.
Using the correct dosage reduces the impact on the environment and gives a good washing result.
Only use pH-neutral wool detergent for woollens programmes.
