Before using for the first time

When washing and drying

To protect the washerdryer

– Set up the washer-dryer according to

the installation instructions –> page23. – Remove the transport safety bolts and keep them in a safe place. – Do not operate the washer-dryer if it has any visible damage. If you are

in any doubt, please consult our after-sales service or your retailer.

– Remove all objects from pockets, particularly sources of ignition

(e.g. lighters, matches, etc.). – Do not leave children unsupervised near the washer-dryer. – The washer-dryer must not be used by children or persons who have

not been instructed in its use. – Keep pets away from the washer-dryer. – Take care when Draining hot detergent solution. – The washing machine door can become very hot during operation. – Condensed water is not drinking water quality and may be

contaminated with fluff.

– Do not climb onto the washer-dryer. – Do not lean on the open door of the washer-dryer. – Do not install the washer-dryer in areas that are at risk of frost. – Do not transport the washer-dryer without the transport safety bolts in

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 Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons/Coloureds) 90 °C, select the

Color eco/Cor eco (Cottons Eco) 60 °C 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

WEEE

)

2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE. The directive provides an EU-wide framework for the return and recycling of used appliances.

Description of the washer-dryer

in 3 ways –> page15:

– 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26. 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21.

Detergents and Care Products

Descaler

i i

The detergent drawer is divided into three compartments

Detergent drawer

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.

Detergents and care products

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.
