programme.
Overview of programmes
~Page 20
■Wash normally soiled laundry
without prewash.
■The selectable temperatures apply
to the care labels on the textiles. The
temperatures in the machine may
deviate from this so that you get the
optimum mix of energy-saving and
washing results.
■Energy saving mode: The display
panel light goes out after several
minutes, the !(Start/Reload)
button flashes. To activate the light,
select any button.
Energy-saving mode is not activated
if a programme is running.
■If the laundry is then dried in
the appliance, select the maximal
possible spin speed. The less water
the laundry contains, the less time
and energy are required for drying.
Do not dry dripping wet laundry.
■Ventilate the installation room well
and clean the air inlet filter regularly.

Preparing laundry for drying
Note: To ensure an even drying result,
sort the laundry according to the:
■Type of fabric
■Drying programme
■Care symbols which are indicated on
the care labels.
Only dry laundry which is labelled
“dryer-proof” or which has the following
care symbols:
■a= Dry at normal temperature
(Intensive Dry Ù)
■`= Dry at low temperature
(Low Heat Dry ^)
The following textiles must not be dried:
■b= care symbol “Do not dry”
■Wool or textiles containing wool.
■Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains).
■Textiles which contain foam rubber
or similar materials.
■Textiles which were treated with
flammable liquids, e.g. with stain
remover, petroleum ether, thinners.
Risk of explosion!
■Textiles which still contain hairspray
or similar substances.
Notes
■Before drying, hand-washed textiles
must be spun at the appropriate spin
speed.
■Before drying, spin at the optimum
speed. A spin speed of more than
1000 rpm is recommended for
cotton, more than 800 rpm for easy-
care textiles.
■Do not iron washing immediately
after drying. It is recommended to
roll the washing up first to distribute
residual moisture evenly.
■To ensure a good drying
performance, quilts, terry cloths and
other large textiles should be dried
separately. Do not dry more than
four terry cloths (or 3 kg).
■Do not exceed maximum load.

Loading the laundry
:Warning
Danger of death!
Laundry items pretreated with solvent-
based detergents, e.g. stain remover/
petroleum ether, may cause an
explosion if loaded into the washer
dryer.
Thoroughly rinse laundry items by hand
before washing.
Notes
■Mix large and small items. Laundry
items of different sizes distribute
themselves better during the spin
cycle. Individual laundry items may
cause an unbalanced load.
■Observe the indicated maximum
load. Overfilling adversely affects
the washing result and promotes
creasing.
1. Unfold presorted laundry items and
place in the drum.
2. Ensure that no laundry items are
trapped between the door and
rubber seal.
3. Close the door.
Note: The indicator light on the
!(Start/Reload) button flashes and the
default settings for the programme
appear continuously on the display
panel. Changes may be made to the
default settings.
