General safety information

Intended use

The washer-dryer is designed for:

detergents and care products that are suitable for use in washing

machines.

– has been treated with solvents, oil, wax, fat or dye (e.g. stain remover,

cleaning solvent, hairspray, nail varnish remover).

– has come into contact with hairspray, nail varnish remover, or similar

substances. Risk of fire or explosion!

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.

–InsteadofResistentes/Algod. (Cottons/Coloureds) 90 °C, select the

Your new washer-dryer

Description of the

washer-dryer

The washer-dryer can be used

in 3 ways –> page15:

– washing only

– drying only

– successive washing and drying.

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26. 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21.
