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 –> page 12.
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.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE.
The directive provides an EU-wide framework for the return and recycling ) of used appliances.

Your new washer-dryer
Description of the washer dryer
Door
The washer-dryer can be used in 3 ways –> page 16:
–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 –> page 28. 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.
Emergency release
In the event of a power cut, the door can be released mechanically –> page 23.

Compartment I : detergent for Pre-wash
Compartment II : detergent for Hauptwäsche (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.

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 water hardness. You can find out about water hardness in your area from your local waterworks.
