–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 → page 13. 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

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 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 → page 28. 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.

Loose foreign bodies (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails) may damage the laundry and components of the washer-dryer (e.g. the drum).
Empty the pockets of all items.
Brush any sand out of pockets and collars.
Pretreat any stains.
Close zips, do up cover buttons.
Remove curtain fittings or place curtains in a laundry bag.
Wash the following in a laundry bag/pillowcase:
–Delicates, e.g. tights, curtains,
–Small items, e.g. socks or handkerchiefs,

Turn trousers, knitwear and jersey fabrics, e.g. hosiery, T-shirts or sweatshirts, inside out.
–Only dry fabrics that have already been washed, rinsed and spun.
–Also spin delicate fabrics before drying.
–Sort the items for washing according to material and desired level of dryness to ensure even drying.
Before loading the washer-dryer, make sure that there are no foreign bodies or pets in the drum.
Risk of explosion. Items that have been treated with cleaning agents containing solvents, e.g. stain removers, must be carefully rinsed out by hand before they are loaded into the washer-dryer.
Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in the drum. Load a mixture of small and large items.
Observe the maximum drum loads, Programme table → page 30.

Detergents and care products

i
Compartment I : detergent for prewash. 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 folded down 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 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.
