• Packing
The packing consists of 100% recyclable
material and is labelled with the recycling
symbol .
• Appliance
The appliance is built from recyclable
materials. It must be in accordance with local
waste disposal regulations.
Before scrapping: pull out the plug and cut off
the power cable so that the appliance cannot
be connected to the mains.
• Eco-tips
- Maximum load (depending on programme)
minimises energy and water consumption.
- Laundry which is lightly to moderately soiled
does not require a prewash.
- Lightly soiled laundry should be washed at a
low temperature or with a short programme.
- If you wish to dry the laundry in a household
dryer, use the highest spin speed (depending
on the programme). The dryer will then
consume less energy.
- Do not exceed manufacturers’
recommended dosages as shown on the
detergent package.
- Only use stain remover if absolutely
necessary.
- After emergency drainage the appliance will
be completely empty. After installing the filter,
we therefore recommend pouring approx.
0.5 litres of water into the detergent
dispenser to reactivate the Eco system.
This avoids unnecessary loss of detergent
and therefore unsatisfactory washing results
in the subsequent wash cycle.
• High spinning performance results in low
residual moisture content and therefore
lower energy demand for drying.
Even synthetics must be spun prior to drying
(do not press the speed reduction button).
• Well spun laundry at full load optimises
drying economy; this ensures sensible use of
energy and water.
• A proper load, together with the
corresponding drying programme, also helps
to save energy and water.
• Overdrying of laundry, e.g. through
inappropriate load and programme choice,
leads to unnecessary water and energy
consumption.
• The appliance must only be used in the
household for the prescribed uses.
• All connections to the water and electrical
mains must be made in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and following
local utility company safety regulations
(see “Installation Instructions”).
• Prior to cleaning and maintenance switch off
the appliance or disconnect from the main.
• Never leave the appliance switched on
unnecessarily. Turn the water supply
tap(s) off.
• Never use excessive force to open the door.
• Children must not be allowed to play with or
inside the machine. Do not use the door as a
foot support.
• Packaging materials can be dangerous for
children. Keep any packaging material
(plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of
their reach.
• Do not reach into the rotating drum.
• The appliance conforms to European safety
regulations, EC directive 93/68/EEC and
EN60555.
1. Pull out the plug.
2. Turn the water supply tap(s) off.
3. Disconnect the inlet and drain hoses.
4. Drain residual water from the appliance and
hoses (see “Draining Residual Water”).
5. Transit bolts must be fitted
(see “Installation Instructions”).

1. Sort laundry as follows...
• Fabric type / Care label
Cotton, cotton/synthetic mix, synthetics, wool.
• Colour
Separate white from coloured items. Wash new
coloured items separately.
• Size
Washing articles of different size together
improves wash efficiency and distributes the load
better in the drum.
• Fabric delicacy
Wash delicates separately: Select the appropriate
special programme for machine-washable
wool , curtains and other delicate items.
Either remove curtain hooks or tie into a cloth bag.
Only wash machine-washable items! Wash small
items (e.g. Nylon stockings, belts etc.) and items
with hooks (e.g. bras) in a special wash bag or in a
zipped-up pillow case.
2. Empty pockets
Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry,
the drum and the detergent container.
3. Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks.
Loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.
STAIN REMOVAL
• Blood, milk, egg etc. are generally removed by the
automatic enzyme phase of the programme.
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
stains. add a stain remover into the detergent
dispenser.
• Heavily soiled parts can be treated with a stain
remover if necessary.
LOADING THE WASH
1. Open the door.
2. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the
drum, without overfilling.
3. Close the door.
LOAD CAPACITY
See programme chart.
Note: Overloading the machine reduces the wash
efficiency and encourages creasing.
Note for continuous washing/drying:
If drying is to be carried out straight after the washing
cycle without interruption, the maximum permissible
load must be observed.
WASHING - PREPARING THE LAUNDRY
33
SELECTION
The type of detergent depends on:
•
the type of fabric (cotton, synthetics,
delicates, wool).
Note:
Use only specific detergents for
washing wool.
•
colour.
•
wash temperature.
•
degree and type of soiling.
Notes:
•
Whitish residues on dark fabrics are due to
the insoluble water softeners in modern
phosphate-free detergents. If you notice this
problem, shake or brush the affected items.
or use a liquid detergent.
•
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry
place out of the reach of children.
•
Use only detergent and fabric conditioner
specifically produced for automatic domestic
washing machines.
If you use descaling agents, dyes or
bleaches, make sure they are suitable for
washing machine use.
•
Do not use solvents
(e.g. B. turpentine, benzine).
•
Do not machine wash or dry fabrics that have
been treated with wax, benzene or
flammable liquids. The fumes can cause a
fire or explosion hazard.
Always wash such items by hand and dry in
the open air.
DETERGENT DOSAGES
Follow the instructions on the detergent pack.
The amounts depend on:
•
degree and type of soiling.
•
size of wash.
-
full load: follow the detergent
manufacturer’s instructions;
-
half load: 3/4 the amount used for a
full load;
-
minimum load (about 1 kg):
1/2 the amount used for full load.
•
water hardness in your area (ask for
information from your water company): soft
water requires less detergent than hard water.
Notes:
•
Too much detergent can result in excess
foam formation. which reduces washing
efficiency. If the washing machine detects too
much foam, it may prevent spinning.
•
The laundry will become grey if you use too
little detergent. Too little detergent will also
lead to increased scaling on the heating
element and drum
.
Adjust the water hardness level marker in the detergent dispenser according to the water hardness
in your area. Move the hardness pointer sideways to the desired position.
FILLING THE DETERGENT AND
ADDITIVES
1.
Pull out the detergent dispenser.
2.

Notes:
• When using highly concentrated detergents,
use the detergent ball provided with the
detergent and place it directly in the drum to
avoid dispensing problems.
• Do not use the dosing aid for continuous
washing/drying.
• For programmes with prewash, liquid
detergents can be used for the prewash. In
this case only use powder detergents for the
main wash.
• Dose the correct amount of concentrated
fabric softener and dilute with water up to the
maximum level marked in the softener
compartment.
Dyeing: Usual products consist of dye colour,
fixing agent and salt. Pour the dye colour, fixing
agent and salt directly into the empty drum. and
only then load the laundry.
• Only use products designed for use in
washing machines.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions.
• Rubber and plastic parts in the appliance
may be stained.

1.
Intensive Rinse
• leads to extended rinsing time and higher
water level, thereby improving rinsing
performance.
• particularly suitable for areas with very soft
water, when rinsing baby articles and items
belonging to allergy sufferers. .
• the drainage water is reduced to below
60 °C , safeguarding drains of older
buildings.
2. Rinse Hold
• the laundry remains in the last rinse water
without being spun: this avoids staining or
increased creasing.
• particularly suitable for the “Wool”,
“Synthetic” or “Delicate” programmes, if the
laundry is not to be unloaded immediately
after the programme has finished.
• Finish rinse hold: Press the Rinse hold button
again: spinning continues automatically
according to the programme.
3. Spin Speed Reduction
• Button for reducing the final spin speed.
• The reduction of the final spin speed relates
to the chosen programme.
• Do not press this button if subsequent drying
is required. Reduced spin speed means
higher residual moisture content and
therefore longer drying times. This leads to
unnecessarily high energy and water
consumption.
The programme sequence indicator is situated
around the programme selector knob.

Reselecting the programme
Prior to changing a programme the appliance
must be switched off.
Terminating a programme early - draining
To interrupt the active programme and drain:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Set programme selector knob to “Draining”.
Switch on the appliance.
3.
The water is drained. Open door only when
selector knob is in the position.
The washer-dryer is a condensing unit.
Therefore, the tap must be open during drying.
General Considerations
Fluffing
•
After drying of articles which fluff badly,
e.g. new terry weave items, we recommend
to carry out programme A in order to ensure
that any fluff, which may have collected in the
container, is drained and will not be
deposited on the laundry during a
subsequent washing programme.
Door lock
•
After the appliance has been switched on
and the desired programme has been
selected, the door is locked during the entire
drying programme.
Shrinking
•
Some materials (especially knits and terry
fabrics) may shrink to varying degrees. This
is mainly due to the fact that articles are
suspended in the drum whilst drying,
meaning that they are not subject to
stretching on a line.
•
Such items should only be dried using
programme “Wardrobe dry”.
•
Pulling and wearing such items will largely
compensate any shrinkage. When
purchasing such articles, these shrinkage
characteristics should be taken into account
when choosing sizes.

WASHING - PROGRAMME RESELECTION
DRYING - GENERAL INFORMATION
37
Programme interruption
•
The drying process should not be interrupted!
Possible consequences: Heavy creasing and
risk of scorching!
Overdrying
•
Excessive drying, often the result of the
wrong choice of programme, leads to over-
drying. This causes unnecessary wear to
articles and can lead to increased creasing.
Touch protection
•
The glass in the door will become hot during
drying. Therefore, a touch protection is
installed as standard. Do not remove this
protection during operation!
Not suitable for machine drying
Particularly delicate textiles, e.g. B. Curtains
made of synthetic fibres, wool items, silk, fabrics
with metal inserts, nylon stockings, large items,
e.g. anoraks, bed spreads, duvets, sleeping
bags and feather bedding, as well as items
containing mainly foam rubber or rubber-like
material, must not be machine-dried.
Follow care label instructions
Suitable for machine drying
Not suitable for machine drying
Attention
Items treated with flammable cleaning and
solvent agents (benzene, alcohol, stain
remover etc.) must not be dried in this dryer.
Fire could result. Only dry fabrics that have
been washed in water!
•
The more moisture has been extracted from
the laundry prior to drying, the more
economic the drying process.
Follow spinning recommendations.
•
Sort the load according to type of fabric (see
care label) and the desired degree of drying.
Fasten zips and loose straps etc. link.
•
For continuous washing and drying, these
instructions must be followed before
commencing the washing programme.
Max. load
Cotton /
Coloured cotton max. 2.5 kg (dry weight)
Synthetics max. 2.0 kg (dry weight)
Note:
Laundry loads larger than the stated values
must be split prior to drying or the drying
result will be unsatisfactory
.
Drying programmes
•
Your time-controlled washer-dryer will stop
the drying process after the set drying time
has elapsed.
•
You will find the settable drying times around
the drying programme selector knob.
Correct choice of drying time will ensure that
the desired degree of drying is achieved.
Re-drying:
if the laundry or individual items
appear too damp, re-drying is an option.
Reload the laundry, close the door and set the
programme selector knob clockwise to the
desired after-drying time (at least 20 minutes).

Your washing machine is equipped with safety
functions, which can detect faults early and react
accordingly.
Often these are no more than minor problems
that can be solved quickly.
The appliance fails to start:
Please check whether:
•
The mains plug is inserted into the socket.
•
The socket is functioning correctly
(e.g. using a table lamp).
•
The appliance door is closed (child safety
device?).
•
A programme has been selected.
•
The “ON/OFF” button was pressed.
No or little water:
•
Press the “ON/OFF” button; the indicator light
will go out.
Please check whether:
•
The tap is turned on fully, the main water
supply (water pressure) is operational.
•
The inlet hose is kinked.
•
The mesh filter in the water hose is blocked
or dirty (see “Care and maintenance/water
hose filter”).
•
The water in the supply hose is frozen.
Press the “ON/OFF” button again to continue with
the programme.
Waste water not drained:
Press the “ON/OFF” button; the indicator light will
go out.
Please check whether:
•
The drain hose is installed without kinks
(see “Installation Instructions”) .
•
The pump or the filter is blocked
(see “Removing the Filter / Draining Residual
Water”).
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the water has
cooled before draining.
•
The water in the drain pipe is frozen.
•
Press the “ON/OFF” button again in order to
continue the programme.
If the fault occurs again, contact After-Sales
Service (see “After-Sales Service”).
If the water stop was released:
A released water stop can be recognised by the
fact that the water flow is interrupted and a
continuous pumping noise can be heard.
•
Switch off appliance and close tap.
•
If excess foam has caused the water stop,
the water collected in the base tray may be
drained by tilting the appliance forward
slightly.
•
If the water stop is activated again when the
appliance is switched on, contact the After-
sales service.
The appliance vibrates during the
spin cycle:
Please check whether:
•
The appliance is horizontal with all four feet
on the ground (see “Installation
Instructions”), and the lock nuts are tight.
•
The transit bolts have been removed.
Before using the appliance the transit bolts MUST
be removed (see “Installation Instructions”)
The laundry is not spun properly after
the programme has terminated or,
subsequently is not dried:
•
The in-built unbalance control system
recognises excessive unbalance at the start
of the spinning cycle (e.g. for small loads or
loads consisting of large items only). In this
case the appliance automatically terminates
the wash programme without final spin, in
order to avoid possible costly damage to the
appliance. In this case, the laundry will
remain damp after subsequent drying.
•
Are there larger amounts of foreign bodies in
the filter, or is the drain pump rotor blocked?
Carry out drainage if necessary.
