Environmental protection

Packaging/used appliance

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-responsible manner. 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.

Save energy and conserve resources

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.

Choose programmes with low temperatures and longer wash times and use maximum load capacity → Page 29.

Energy consumption and water consumption are most efficient.

Use the economy programme settings.

If you adjust the programme settings for a programme, the display shows the expected consumption.

Add detergent based on the laundry's degree of soiling → Page 28.

For light to normal soiling, a smaller amount of detergent is sufficient. Observe the dosage recommendation from the detergent manufacturer.

Reduce the washing temperature for lightly and normally soiled laundry.

At low temperatures, the appliance consumes less energy. For light to normal soiling, lower temperatures than indicated on the care label are also sufficient.

Set the maximum spin speed if you want to dry the laundry in a tumble dryer afterwards.

The drier the laundry, the shorter the programme duration when drying which, in turn, reduces energy consumption. A higher spin speed reduces the residual moisture in the laundry and increases the volume of the spin noise.

Wash the laundry without prewash.

Washing with prewash increases the programme duration and increases energy and water consumption.

The appliance has a continuous automatic load adjustment function.

Depending on the type of fabric and load capacity, the continuous automatic load adjustment function optimally adjusts the water consumption and programme duration.

Energy saving mode

If the appliance is not operated for a prolonged period (approx. 5 minutes), it automatically switches to energy-saving mode. The display panel lighting goes out before the programme starts and after the programme has ended, ▶ flashes. Touch any area of the display panel to activate the display backlighting.

Energy saving mode is not activated when the programme is running.

Preparing laundry for washing

Protecting your laundry and appliance

Caution!

Damage to the appliance/textiles

Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips, needles, nails) may damage the washing or components of the appliance.

The following instructions must be observed when preparing your laundry:

■ Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when dosing all detergents, cleaning aids, care products and cleaning agents. - Do not exceed maximum load. Overfilling will impair the washing result. - Keep detergents and agents for the pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain remover, prewash sprays, etc.) away from the surfaces of the appliance. Using a damp cloth, immediately remove any fine spray residue and other residue or droplets. ■ Empty any pockets. Remove any foreign objects. ■ Remove metal parts (paper clips, etc.). ■ Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts, should be turned inside out. ■ Ensure that underwired bras are appliance-washable. ■ Wash delicates in a net or bag (tights, underwired bras, etc). ■ Close zips, button up covers. ■ Brush sand out of pockets and collars. ■ Remove curtain fittings or place in a net/bag.

Sorting laundry

Sort your laundry according to the care instructions and manufacturer's information on the care labels, depending on:

■ Type of fabric/fibre

Colour

Note: Laundry may discolour. Wash white and coloured items separately. Wash new coloured items separately the first time you wash them.

Soiling

Wash laundry with the same level of soiling together.

- Light: No need to pretreat, adjust the SpeedPerfect setting if necessary.

- Normal

- Heavy: Load less laundry, need to pretreat or soak laundry firstly.

- Stains: Remove/pretreat stains while they are fresh. First dab with soapy water; do not rub. Then wash the items of laundry with the appropriate programme. Stubborn or dried-in stains can sometimes only be removed by washing several times.

■ Symbols on the care labels

Suitable for normal washing process; e.g. Cottons programme

A gentle washing process is required; e.g. Easy Care programme

An especially gentle washing process is required; e.g. Delicates/ Silk programme

Suitable for washing by hand; e.g. Wool programme

Do not machine wash.

Preparing laundry for drying

Note: To ensure an even drying result, sort the laundry according to the:

■ Type of fabric ■ Care symbols which are indicated on the care labels.

Only dry laundry which is labelled "dryer-proof" or which has the following care symbols:

■ : You can select Intensive Dry ■ : You can select Gentle Dry

The following textiles must not be dried:

■ ☒ = care symbol "Do not dry" ■ 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 exceed the maximum load.

Starching

Water is not visible in the drum.	Not a fault – the water is below the visible area.
The wrong detergent/fabric softener has been poured into the dispenser(s).	Empty the dispenser(s), clean it/them and pour in the correct product. → "Emptying the detergent draw, cleaning the detergent drawer and its hou ing" on page 42 → "Dosing and adding detergent and care products" on page 37
Detergent/fabric softener has congealed in the dispensers.	Empty the dispenser(s), clean it/them and pour in the correct product. → "Emptying the detergent draw, cleaning the detergent drawer and its hou ing" on page 42 → "Dosing and adding detergent and care products" on page 37
Foam is leaking from the detergent drawer.	Too much detergent used?Mix 1 tablespoon of fabric softener with 1⁄2 litre of water and pour into dispenser II. (Not for outdoor, sports and down-filled textiles!)Reduce detergent dosage for the next wash cycle.Use commercially available low foam detergent and care product which are suitable for machine.
Repeated, intensive foaming.	Have you used too much detergent? Add less detergent in the next time you run a wash cycle with the same load.
Detergent/fabric softener drips off the seal and collects on the door or in the seal fold.	There is too much detergent/fabric softener in the dispensers. Do not fill the dispensers above the max. mark.
The spin result is not satisfactory.Laundry wet/too damp.	Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system has interrupted the spin cycle because the laundry is unevenly distributed. Distribute small and large items of laundry evenly in the drum.Is Easy Iron additional programme setting selected (depending on the model)?Is Silent additional programme setting or Silent programme selected (depending on the model)?Is the selected speed too low?
The spin cycle runs several times.	Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system is adjusting an imbalance.
The programme is taking longer than usual.	Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system is adjusting an imbalance by repeatedly distributing the laundry.Not a fault – the foam detection system is activated – a rinse cycle has been switched on.
The length of the programme changes during the wash cycle.	Not a fault – the programme sequence is optimised for the specific washing process. This may change the length of the programme shown on the display panel.
Odours, stain formation in the appliance.	Run theCottons 90°Cprogramme without laundry.Add washing powder or a detergent containing bleach.Note:To prevent foaming, only use half the amount of detergent recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Do not use detergents designed for woollens or delicates.
Loud noises, vibrations and appliance "move-ment" during the spin cycle.	Is the appliance aligned? → "Alignment" on page 19Are the appliance's feet fixed? Secure the appliance's feet.Have the transport locks been removed? → "Removing the transport locks" on page 15
The display panel indicator lights do not work while the appliance is run-ning.	Has there been a power failure?Have the fuses blown? Reset/replace the fuses.If the fault occurs repeatedly, call customer services.
There is detergent residue on the laundry.	Some phosphate-free detergents contain water-insoluble residue.SelectRinseor brush the laundry after washing.
Spin noise during the drying phase.	This is an innovative process known as thermal spinning used to reduce energy consumption during the drying phase. It is designed like this, please wait until programme finished.
Fluff found on the laundry.	Run theCottons (cold) programme without laundry and detergent to remove fluff which have accumulated inside the drum during the previous drying cycle.
Water inlet noise during the drying phase.	The washer dryer uses water condensation technology, water is constantly needed to dry the laundry. Therefore the water tap must be on all the time, till the end of the drying phase.
Drying duration extended.	Run theCottons (cold) programme to remove fluff which has collected in the washer drum during the drying phase.If the ambient temperature is higher than 30 °C, this may extend the drying time.Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-late the room.
Drying programme does not start.	Drying additional programme setting not selected?Door not closed properly?
Creasing. ■ Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected the wrong program for the type of fabric. All the required information can be found in the programme overview table.■ Remove clothes immediately after drying; creasing may occur if they are left in the drum.
The drying result is not satisfactory (laundry is not dry enough).	■ After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.■ Excessively high ambient temperature (above 30 °C) or inadequate ventilation in the room in which the washer dryer is situated.■ The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying. Always set the highest selectable spin speed for the particular washing programme.■ Washer dryer overloaded: Observe the recommendations for the maximum load in the programme table and on the load display. Do not overload the washer dryer, as the maximum load for the drying phase is less than the maximum load for the wash cycle. Unload the washer dryer after washing with the maximum load and divide the laundry into two drying cycles.■ The power supply voltage is too low (below 200 V) – provide a suitable power supply.■ The water pressure is low. According to water condensing principle, low water pressure will cause evaporated steam to not condense properly and completely.■ The water tap is closed during drying. Due to the use of the water condensation technology for drying, please keep the connected water tap open during the drying process, otherwise proper drying cannot be guaranteed.■ Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings dry easily on the surface, but not inside. This equalisation process may take longer.

If you cannot rectify a fault yourself (after turning the programme selector to o (Off) and on again) or a repair is required:

■ Turn the programme selector to o (Off). Pull out the mains plug.

■ Turn off the tap and call customer services.
