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 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 into the drain tank.

Caution: the water supply hose and water drain hose must be correctly

connected during washing and drying →page26. The water hose 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.

detergent residues in the drawer.

Select the correct dosage for the detergent according to:

– the amount of laundry,

– the instructions of the detergent manufacturer,

– how dirty the laundry is,

– the water hardness. You can find out about water hardness in your area

from your local waterworks.

Using the correct dosage reduces the impact on the environment and
