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.

Water supply

The water supply and drain hoses can be routed to the left of right,
depending on installation conditions.

Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one
which was purchased from an authorised specialist retailer.

Do not allow the water supply hose to be:
– kinked or squashed,
– altered or cut (strength no longer guaranteed).

Note the water pressure in the mains supply:

The water pressure should be between 50-900 kPa (0.5-9 bar) (at least
8 litres of water flow out per minute when the tap is turned on).
If the water pressure is higher, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted.

Connect the cold-water supply hose (blue union nut) to the cold water tap
with ¾" pipe thread.

Only tighten plastic screw connections by hand.
Do not remove the filter from the supply hose.

After connecting the water supply hose:

– Turn the tap on fully.
– Check the connections for leaks.

Water drainage

Drainage into a siphon

Electrical connection

– Do not kink the drain hose or pull it lengthways.

– Height difference between the installation surface and the drain:

max. 90 cm, min. 50 cm.

Secure the connection with the 24-40 mm hose clamp (included with the
appliance).

The washer-dryer must only be connected to an alternating current supply
via a properly installed earthed socket.

If a residual current circuit breaker is used, only use a type which displays
this symbol: ‚.
Only this symbol guarantees compliance with the currently applicable
regulations.

The mains voltage must match the voltage specifications on the washer­dryer (rating plate).
The connected load and fuse required are shown on the rating plate.

Make sure that:

– the mains plug fits the socket.
– the cable cross-section is adequate.
– the earthing system is properly installed.
– the appliance is not standing on the mains cable.
– the mains plug is accessible at all times.

Fitting the door hinges
to the washer-dryer

Changes to the mains cable may only be carried out by an electrician.

Do not use multiple plugs/adapters or extension cables.

Do not plug in or unplug the mains plug with wet hands.

Only pull the mains plug out by the plug itself.

Once the washer-dryer has been installed in a kitchen unit, it can be
concealed with a door. If you wish to do this, you must fit the hinges
