Laundry

Preparing laundry for washing

Sorting laundry according to:

Sort your laundry according to the care instructions and specifications of the manufacturer on the care labels:

■ Type of fabric/fibre Colour

Note: Laundry can discolour or not be cleaned correctly. Wash white and coloured items separately.

Wash new bright fabrics separately the first time you wash them.

Soiling

• light Do not prewash; if necessary select the =∅ (SpeedPerfect) additional function.
• normal Select programme with prewash. If required, pretreat stains.
• heavy Load less washing. Select programme with prewash. If required, pretreat stains.
• Stains: Remove/pretreat stains while they are fresh. Firstly, dab with a soap water; do not rub. Then select the appropriate programme and wash the items. Stubborn or dried-in stains can sometimes only be removed by washing several times.

■ Symbols on the care labels Note: The numbers in the symbols indicate the maximum washing temperature that may be used. 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.

Protecting your laundry and washer dryer:

Caution!

Damage to the appliance/textiles

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

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 washer dryer. 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 machine-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 include in the net/bag.

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:

■ ☐ = Dry at normal temperature (Intensive Dry ⚙)

■ ☑ = Dry at low temperature

(Gentle Dry ⚙️)

The following textiles must not be dried:

■ ☒ = 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.

Operating the appliance

Preparing the washer dryer

The washer dryer was tested before delivery. To remove residual water from the test procedure, the first wash cycle should be run without laundry using the Fluff clean ®® programme.

Before washing/drying for the first time → Page 43

Note:

■ Never switch on a damaged washer dryer! ■ Inform your customer service!

1. Insert mains plug.
2. Turn the tap on.

The end of the drying programme is followed by an automatic fluff cleaning cycle. The tap must be turned on even when selecting a drying programme.

Note:

■ Always provide good ventilation in the room where the washer dryer is located so that air produced during the drying phase can be evacuated. ■ Always keep the inlets and outlets for the cooling air clear.

1. Open the door.

1. Loosen the lock nut in a clockwise direction with a wrench.
2. Check the alignment of the washer dryer with a spirit level and, if required, correct. Adjust the height by rotating the appliance foot. Note: All four appliance feet must be firmly on the floor. The washer dryer must not wobble!
3. Tighten the lock nut against the housing. Grip the foot and do not adjust the height.

Notes

■ The lock nuts on all four appliance feet must be screwed tightly against the housing! ■ Any loud noises, intense vibrations or “wandering” may be due to incorrect alignment!

Electrical connection

Electrical safety

Warning

Risk of electric shock!

Danger of death if live parts are touched.

■ When disconnecting the main plug, always pull the plug itself and not the cable, otherwise the cable could be damaged. ■ Never touch or hold the mains plug with wet hands. ■ Never pull out the mains plug during operation. ■ Only connect the washer dryer to an alternating current using a correctly installed earthed socket. ■ The mains voltage must be the same as the voltage specifications on the washer dryer (appliance rating plate). ■ The connected load and the required fuse are also indicated on the appliance rating plate.

Ensure that:

■ The mains plug and socket match. ■ The cable cross-section is adequate. ■ The earthing system has been installed correctly. A damaged power cord is only replaced by an electrician. A replacement mains cable can be obtained from customer service.

■ You do not use multiple plugs/couplings or extension cables.

If a residual-current-operated circuit breaker is used, you use only a type which features this symbol: 📌. Only this symbol guarantees compliance with the currently valid regulations.

■ The mains plug is always accessible.

■ The power cord is not kinked, crushed, altered or severed and has not come into contact with any heat sources.
