Environmental protection/
economy tips
– Separate out the various waste materials of the packaging and take
them to the nearest collection point.
– Always fill the appliance with the maximum amount of laundry for each
programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
–Instead of Cottons 90 °C, choose the programme
Cottons 60 °C, X Intensiv → page13. Similar cleaning performance
with considerably lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions
and in line with the local water hardness.
– If the laundry is subsequently dried in a tumble drier, select the spin
speed according to the tumble drier manufacturer's instructions
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/
WEEE
19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste
electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines

The washer-dryer can be used
Description of the
washer dryer
in 3 ways → page17:
– washing only,
– drying only,
– successive washing and drying.
The successive wash-dry programme shifts automatically 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 → page28. The water hose 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.

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 amount of laundry,
– 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.
