them to the nearest collection point.

– Always fill the washer-dryer with the maximum load for the relevant

programme.

– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.

– Instead of Cottons 90 °C, select the Cottons 60 °C, @Intensiv

programme. This gives comparable results, but uses less energy.

and in line with the local water hardness.

Description of the

washer-dryer

The washer-dryer can be used

in 3 ways –> page17:

The successive wash-dry programme automatically shifts 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 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.
