Protection of the environment/

Conservation tips

– Load the maximum amount of laundry to wash or dry for the particular programme. a Page 7: Programme overview

– Wash normally soiled laundry without prewash.

– Select Cottons Eco 60°C and additional â (Intensive) function to obtain good cleaning results with significantly lower energy consumption.

– Dose the detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions and water hardness.

– If the laundry is then to be dried in the appliance, select the highest selectable spin speed – because the more water that is spun out of the appliance, the less time and energy is

â required to dry it.

– Keep the installation room well ventilated, clean the air inlet filter regularly.

Important information

Washing drying preparing/Protecting the laundry and the machine

– Empty pockets.

– Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.).

– Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. Jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should be turned inside out.

– Ensure that underwired bras are machine washable.

– Wash delicates in a net/bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).

– Fasten zips, do up any buttons.

– Brush sand out of pockets and collars.

– Remove curtain hooks or place curtains in a net/bag.

– Use only tumble-dry textiles if you select drying.

– Before tumble-drying, handwash items should be spun using the appropriate spin speed.

– Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. Recommended spin speed for cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care is more than 800 rpm.

– In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree of â drying required.

– Items which require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after being tumble-dried.

It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture is

â evenly distributed.

–

To achieve good drying performance, dry quilt covers, terry towels or other large textile items individually. Terry towels not more than 4 pieces (or 3 kg).

– Too high environmental temperature (above 30 â °C) or bad ventilation of the room, where the washer dryer is placed – ensure good ventilation to remove exhaust heat.

– The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying – always set the highest selectable spin speed for all washing programmes.

– Machine overload: please follow the load recommendation in the progamme table and load display, do not overload machine, because of maximum load amount for drying is lower than for washing unload the machine after washing with maximum load for washing and separate the load into two drying cycles.

– The line voltage of the power supply is too low (below 200 â V)

– ensure suitable power supply.

– Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings – these textiles easily dry on the surface, but not inside. This equalization process may take longer. Please use time drying programs to completely dry these kinds of textiles.

– Drying time is shortened with a small load. Some residual moisture may remain in the drying system. Opening the door quickly creates a suction effect which pulls moisture from the drying system.

– Open the door slowly. Avoid jerking the door open.

If you cannot correct a fault yourself or a repair is required:

– Turn the programme selector to  Off and pull the mains plug out of the socket.

– Turn off the tap and call customer services.

Emergency release e.g. in the event of power failure

The programme will continue to run when the power is restored.

However, if the laundry has to be removed, the washing machine door can be opened as follows:

â

(Intensive) function to obtain good cleaning results with significantly lower energy consumption.

– Dose the detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions and water hardness.

Important information

Washing drying preparing/Protecting the laundry and the machine

– Empty pockets.

– Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.).

– Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. Jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should be turned inside out.

– Ensure that underwired bras are machine washable.

– Wash delicates in a net/bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).

– Fasten zips, do up any buttons.

– Brush sand out of pockets and collars.

– Remove curtain hooks or place curtains in a net/bag.

– Use only tumble-dry textiles if you select drying.

– Before tumble-drying, handwash items should be spun using the appropriate spin speed.

– Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. Recommended spin speed for cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care is more than 800 rpm.

– In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree of â drying required.

– Items which require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after being tumble-dried.

It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture is â evenly distributed.

– To achieve good drying performance, dry quilt covers, terry towels or other large textile items individually. Terry towels not more than 4 pieces (or 3 kg).

The drying result is not satisfactory (laundry is not dry enough).

A small amount of water is observed dripping on the dried laundry load when the door is opened.

– Too high environmental temperature (above 30 â °C) or bad ventilation of the room, where the washer dryer is placed – ensure good ventilation to remove exhaust heat.

– The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying – always set the highest selectable spin speed for all washing programmes.

– Machine overload: please follow the load recommendation in the progamme table and load display, do not overload machine, because of maximum load amount for drying is lower than for washing unload the machine after washing with maximum load for washing and separate the load into two drying cycles.

– The line voltage of the power supply is too low (below 200 â V)

– ensure suitable power supply.

– Air inlet filter blocked? a Installation and maintenance instructions, Page 9: Clean the air inlet filter

– Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings – these textiles easily dry on the surface, but not inside. This equalization process may take longer. Please use time drying programs to completely dry these kinds of textiles.

– Drying time is shortened with a small load. Some residual moisture may remain in the drying system. Opening the door quickly creates a suction effect which pulls moisture from the drying system.

– Open the door slowly. Avoid jerking the door open.

If you cannot correct a fault yourself or a repair is required:

– Turn the programme selector to  Off and pull the mains plug out of the socket.

– Turn off the tap and call customer services.
