Environmental protection/economy tips

WEEE

)

– Separate out the various waste materials of the packaging and take them to the nearest collection point.

– Always fill the appliance with a maximum amount of laundry for the relevant programme.

– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.

– Instead of

resistentes/algod. (Cottons) 90 °C,

select the

color eco/ cor eco (Cottons Eco) 60 °C

programme –> page 14.

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.

– If the laundry is subsequently dried in a tumble drier, select the spin speed according to the tumble drier manufacturer's instructions

.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/

19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Your new washer-dryer

Description of the washer dryer

Door

The washer-dryer can be used in 3 ways –> page 18:

– 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 and into the drainage reservoir.

Caution:

the water supply hose and water drain hose must be correctly connected during washing and drying –> page 29. 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

Compartment I

: detergent for Pre-wash

Compartment II

: detergent for Hauptwäsche (Main wash)

Compartment

i

: Liquid additives, such as starch or fabric softener.

Additives are automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

– Do not exceed the maximum capacity, otherwise compartment i may be emptied too early.

– Dilute viscous additives with water to prevent blockages.

Liquid detergent insert:

this must be inserted before liquid detergents are used.

To do this:



Pull out the detergent drawer as far as the stop.



Press on the zone labelled

PUSH

and take out the detergent drawer.



Pull the insert in

compartment II

forwards as far as the stop

Risk of poisoning

Keep detergents and care products out of the reach of children.

Risk of chemical burns

Take care when opening the detergent drawer. There may still be detergent residues in the drawer.

Select the correct dosage for the detergent according to:

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

– the load size,

– the instructions of the detergent manufacturer.

– how dirty the laundry is.

Using the correct dosage reduces the impact on the environment and gives a good washing result.

Only use pH-neutral wool detergent for woollens programmes.

Installation instructions

Safety information

Included with the appliance

The washer-dryer is very heavy. Take care when lifting it.

Do not operate the washer-dryer if it has any visible damage. If you are in any doubt, please consult our after-sales service or your retailer.

Do not install the washer-dryer outdoors or in areas exposed to frost.

Frozen hoses can crack or burst. As a result, the washer-dryer could be damaged.

Do not stand the washer-dryer upside down or on its side. Do not lift the washer-dryer by protruding parts (e.g. door).

Do not place the washer-dryer behind a door or a sliding door which could prevent the washer-dryer door from being opened. This will prevent children from locking themselves in and putting their lives in danger.

Remove the transport braces and cross connectors and store in a safe place.

In addition to the instructions provided in this document, special regulations from the relevant water and electric utility companies may apply.

If in doubt, have a technician connect the appliance.

Removing the transport safety bolts

On the back of the washer-dryer:

– Water drain hose

– Water supply hose

– Mains cable with plug

– Instruction manual and booklet containing after-sales service addresses

Moisture may remain in the drum following the final inspection which every washer-dryer undergoes before leaving the factory.

27

Positioning and levelling

Positioning

Unscrew all screws using the spanner supplied

Insert the protective covers.

Remove all transport safety bolts completely and take the mains cable out of the retainers.

– Before using the appliance for the first time, you must make sure that

all

transport safety bolts have been removed and kept safe for any subsequent transport.

– If you need to transport the appliance at a later date, always re-affix the transport safety bolts to prevent damage to the machine.

– Appliance stability is essential to ensure that the washer-dryer does not

“creep” during spin cycles.

– The installation area must be firm, clean and level.

– Parquet floors and soft floor coverings, e.g. carpets or foam-backed floor coverings, are unsuitable.

Slide sheets make it easier to slide the washing machine into the installation recess.

– Can be ordered from the after-sales service, spare part no. 66 1827.

– Moisten the slide sheets with a mixture of water and washing-up liquid before sliding the machine into place. Do not use grease and/or oil.

Levelling

Intense noise, vibrations and “wandering” may be the result of incorrect levelling.

– All four appliance feet must be firmly on the ground.

– The washing machine must not wobble.

– Check the alignment of the washing machine with a spirit level and adjust if necessary.

– The washing machine must not rest against the side panels of the installation recess.

– The lock nuts of the front appliance feet must be screwed tightly against the housing.

To prevent leaks or water damage, you must observe the instructions in this section.

If in doubt, have a technician connect the appliance.

The water supply and drain hoses can be routed to the left of right, depending on installation conditions.

Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one which was purchased from an authorised specialist retailer.

29

Water supply

* depends on the model

Do not allow the water supply hose to be:

– kinked or squashed

– altered or cut (strength no longer guaranteed).

Note the water pressure in the mains supply:

The water pressure should be between 50-900 kPa (0.5-9 bar) (at least

8 litres of water flow out per minute when the tap is turned on).

If the water pressure is higher, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted.

Connect the cold-water supply hose (

blue

union nut) to the cold water tap with ¾" pipe thread.

For hot water supply*, connect the hose with the

red

union nut to the hot water tap. The hot water temperature must not exceed 60 °C.

Only tighten plastic screw connections by hand.

Do not remove the filter from the supply hose.

After connecting the water supply hose:

– Turn the tap on fully.

– Check the connections for leaks.

Water drainage

Drainage into a siphon

– Do not kink the drain hose or pull it lengthways.

– Height difference between the installation surface and the drain: max. 90 cm, min. 50 cm.

Secure the connection with a 24-40 mm hose clamp (available from specialist retailers).

Electrical connection

Fitting the door hinges to the washer-dryer

The washer-dryer must only be connected to an alternating current supply via a properly installed earthed socket.

If a residual current circuit breaker is used, only use a type which displays this symbol:

‚ .

Only this symbol guarantees compliance with the currently applicable regulations.

The mains voltage must match the voltage specifications on the washerdryer (rating plate).

The connected load and fuse required are shown on the rating plate.

Make sure that:

– the mains plug fits the socket.

– the cable cross-section is adequate.

– the earthing system is properly installed.

– the appliance is not standing on the mains cable.

– the mains plug is accessible at all times.

Changes to the mains cable may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Do not use multiple plugs/adapters or extension cables.

Do not plug in or unplug the mains plug with wet hands.

Only pull the mains plug out by the plug itself.

Once the washer-dryer has been installed in a kitchen unit, it can be concealed with a door. If you wish to do this, you must fit the hinges supplied to the washer-dryer.
