Important
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the
wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute
the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working".

Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order
to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments.
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded (for both
washing and drying cycles).
• When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.
• The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately
spun before being dried.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be
removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
8
Main features of your washer-dryer
• Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.
• Stain programme for effectively treating stained washing.
• Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items.
• Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 1200, 900, 700 or 400
rpm.
• RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to
prevent creasing.
• Delay timer: programme start can be delayed by 1 to 19 hours (e.g.
to times with a more economical power rate).
• Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected
and the programme phase which is running.
• Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes
your garments with extreme care.
• The drying programmes will enable you to have dry and soft laundry in a short time.
• 3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener.
• Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.

Description of the appliance
Programme selector dial
The programme selector determines the type of washing cycle (e.g. water
level, drum movement, number of rinses), the washing temperature and
enables the required drying programme to be selected according to
the type of laundry.
The selector dial is divided into 6 sections:
• Cottons-Linens
• Easy Cares (synthetics)
• Delicates
• Wool (hand washing)
• Special programmes
• Reset programme O/OFF
The selector dial can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise.
Position E corresponds to the ENERGY SAVING programme at approx.
67°C for normally soiled laundry, extended washing time (cannot be
combined with TIME SAVING).
11
Description of the appliance

display according to the fabrics (cotton or easy cares) you have to dry.
For COTTON you can select a drying time from 10 minutes to 130 minutes.
For EASY CARES you can select a time from 10 minutes to 100 min-
utes.
Programme Option buttons
Depending on the programme, different functions can be combined.

and Easy cares, and with emptying of the water without spinning for
Delicates.
PREWASH
The machine performs a prewash cycle at 30°C max. The prewash cycle
ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Easy cares, and

delicates 700 rpm.
14
