Hints and tips

■ Utilise the maximum amount of

washing for the particular programme. Overview of programmes

■ Wash normally soiled laundry

without prewash.

■ The selectable temperatures apply

to the care labels on the textiles. The temperatures in the machine may deviate from this so that you get the optimum mix of energy-saving and washing results.

■ If the laundry is then dried in

the appliance, select the maximal possible spin speed. The less water the laundry contains, the less time and energy are required for drying. Do not dry dripping wet laundry.

■ Ventilate the installation room well

and clean the air inlet filter regularly. Cleaning and maintenance

W Suitable for washing by hand;

e.g. W Wool program

Ž Do not machine wash.

Protecting your laundry and washer dryer:

Caution! Damage to the appliance/textiles

Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips, needles, nails) may damage the washing or components of the washer dryer.

The following instructions must be observed when preparing your laundry:

■ Always follow the manufacturer's

instructions when dosing all detergents, cleaning aids, care products and cleaning agents.

■ Do not exceed maximum load.

Overfilling will impair the washing result.

■ Keep detergents and agents for the

pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain remover, prewash sprays, etc.) away from the surfaces of the washer dryer. Using a damp cloth, immediately remove any fine spray residue and other residue or droplets.

■ Empty any pockets. Remove any

foreign objects.

Care label specifications:

M Suitable for normal washing

process; e.g. Cottons programme

N A gentle washing process is

required; e.g. Easy-Care programme

O An especially gentle washing

process is required; e.g. Delicates/Silk programme

■ Remove metal parts (paper clips,

etc.).

■ Trousers, knitwear and knitted

textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts, should be turned inside out.

■ Ensure that underwired bras are

machine-washable.

Laundry en

■ Wash delicates in a net or bag

(tights, underwired bras, ect).

■ Close zips, button up covers.

■ Brush sand out of pockets and

collars.

■ Remove curtain fittings or include in

the net/bag.

Preparing laundry for drying

Note: To ensure an even drying result,

sort the laundry according to the:

■ Type of fabric

■ Drying programme

■ 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 = Dry at normal temperature

(Intensive Dry)

■ ` = Dry at low temperature (Gentle

Dry)

The following textiles must not be dried:

■ b = care symbol “Do not dry”

■ Wool or textiles containing wool.

■ Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains).

■ Textiles which contain foam rubber

or similar materials.

■ Textiles which were treated with

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 roll the washing up first to distribute residual moisture evenly.

■ To ensure a good drying

performance, quilts, terry cloths and other large textiles should be dried separately. Do not dry more than four terry cloths (or 3 kg).
