Operating instructions Information concerning waste disposal Disposing of the packaging The shipping package has protected your new appliance on its way to your home. All utilised materials are ecologically harmless and recyclable. Please contribute to a better environment by disposing of packaging materials in an environmentally conscious manner. Please ask your dealer or inquire at your local authority about current means of disposal.
Protection of the environment / hints and tips Your washer-dryer uses water, energy and detergent efficiently, thereby protecting the environment and reducing your household costs. For consumption values of your appliance see page 51. Hints and tips Using your washer-dryer in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner: ■ Take advantage of recommended load quantity. With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust reduces the water and energy consumption.
General safety instructions Your washer-dryer is intended for use – in the household only, – for washing machine-washable fabrics in washing lye, – operation with cold drinking water and commercially available detergents and cleaning products which are suitable for use in washing machines. Do not leave children unsupervised near the washer-dryer. Keep pets away from the washer-dryer. Do not insert/pull out the mains plug with wet hands. Do not pull out the mains plug by tugging the cable.
Introducing your washer-dryer Adding detergent/cleaning product Dispenser I: Detergent for prewash or starch, Dispenser II: Detergent for main wash, soaking agent, water softener, bleach or stain remover, Dispenser M: Additives, e, g, fabric softener or former (do not fill above the lower edge of the insert 1), Opening ... and closing the door 7 Downloaded From WashingMachine-Manual.

Display Notes OPEn Door can be opened F:16* Fault displays See page 47 * Example of the display * Overdosage The automatic safety system detects excessive froth in the appliance due to a highly frothing detergent or an overdosage. This is indicated in the display field by the * symbol. Dispense less detergent for the next wash with similar items of washing (same degree of soiling and wash load). Overdosage of detergent may cause excessive froth formation and impair the washing and rinsing results.
² While the programme is running, the programme duration may be extended or reduced for the following reasons. Reductions in time occur because of: – small loads, – reduced heating times, e.g. if the water is very hot, – reduced washing temperature after the programme has started, – the laundry for drying with low residual moisture.
Before using your washer-dryer for the first time Preparing your washer-dryer Caution The washer-dryer must have been installed and washer-dryer connected properly (see page 53). ² The washer-dryer was tested before leaving the factory. To remove any water left over from testing procedures, the first washing cycle should be carried out without laundry in the machine. ■ Turn the tap on. ■ Pull out the detergent drawer all the way. ■ ■ Pour approx.
Preparing, sorting and loading the laundry Preparing the laundry Caution Loose debris (e.g. coins, paper clips, needles, nails) can damage items of clothing as well as parts of the washer-dryer (e.g. drum). ■ Empty all pockets on items of clothing. ■ Brush sand out of pockets and cuffs/turn-ups. ■ Close zips, fasten pillow cases/cushion covers. ■ Remove curtain runners or tie up in a net/bag. ■ Wash in a net/cushion cover: – delicates, e.jg. tights, curtains, – small laundry items, e.jg.
■ Sorting the laundry Items which require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after being tumble-dried. It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture is evenly distributed. Caution Washing may become discoloured. Do not wash new coloured washing with other washing. According to colour and degree of dirt White items may become grey. Wash white and coloured items separately. Degrees of dirt Lightly soiled No visible soiling or stains.
Very soiled Visible soiling and/or stains. – Kitchen towels used for up to one week. – Fabric serviettes. – Baby bibs. – Children's outer clothing or football jerseys and shorts soiled with grass and/or earth. – Work clothes, e.g. mechanic's overalls, baker's and butcher's clothing. Typical stains – Skin grease, cooking oil/fat, sauces, mineral oil, wax (containing fat/oil). – Tea, coffee, red wine, fruit, vegetables (which can be bleached). – Blood, egg, milk, starch (containing protein, carbohydrate).
Sorting laundry according to the instructions on the care labels Only wash laundry that is labelled with the following care symbols: 89:;< hard-wearing textiles, heat-resistant textiles e.g. made from cotton or linen >AB for easy-care textiles e.g. cotton, linen, synthetic materials or blended fabrics E>FA for easy-care, washable textiles e.g. silk, satin, synthetic materials or blended fabrics (e.g. curtains) hE>FA for hand and machine washable wool or wool-rich textiles e.g.
Only dry laundry that is labelled with the following care symbols: a= tumble-dry at normal heat setting (Normal drying) `= tumble-dry at low heating setting (Delicate drying) ² The following textiles should not be tumble-dried: – Laundry marked with the care symbol b= do not tumble-dry – Wollens or items containing wool – Risk of shrinking! – Delicate fabric (silk, synthetic net curtains) – Risk of creasing! – Items containing foam rubber or similar material.
Loading the laundry m Risk of explosion! Items of clothing that have been pretreated with solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover and dry cleaning spirit, represent an explosion hazard once loaded into the washer-dryer. Before loading the laundry, rinse thoroughly by hand. Caution Foreign objects in the drum may damage the laundry. Before loading the laundry, check that there is no debris in the drum. ■ ■ Open the washer-dryer door.
Detergents and cleaning products Dosing detergent m Risk of poisoning! Keep detergents and additives out of the reach of children. Dose detergent according to – the water hardness. You can find out the water hardness from your water utility company. – the amount of laundry. – the degree of soiling. Information on soiling can be found on page 14. – the specifications of the detergent manufacturer. The correct dosage reduces the impact on the environment and produces a good washing result.
