Environmental protection/economy
tips
– Separate out the various waste materials of the packaging and take
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
Color eco/Cor eco (Cottons Eco) 60 °C programme. This gives
comparable results, but uses less energy.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions
and in line with the local water hardness.

Description of the
washer-dryer
The washer-dryer can be used
in 3 ways –> page17:
– 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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.
Emergency release
In the event of a power cut, the door can be released mechanically
–> page23.
