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 a maximum amount of laundry for the
relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
–Instead of Cottons/Coloureds 90 °C, select the Coloureds eco 60 °C
programme –> page12.
This gives comparable results, but uses less energy.
– 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

Description of the
washer dryer
in 3 ways –> page16:
– 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 and into the drainage
reservoir.
Caution: the water supply hose and water drain hose must be correctly
connected during washing and drying –> page28. The tap 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.
