Information concerning waste disposal

Disposing of the

packaging

The shipping package has protected your new

appliance on its way to your home. All utilised materials

are ecologically harmless and recyclable. Please

contribute to a better environment by disposing of

packaging materials in an environmentally conscious

manner.

Please ask your dealer or inquire at your local authority

about current means of disposal.

m Risk of choking!

Do not let children play with packaging and associated

parts. Risk of choking on plastic film and collapsible

boxes.

Disposing of your old

appliance

Old appliances are not worthless rubbish! Environ-

ment-conscious recycling can reclaim valuable raw

materials.

m Danger of death!

Unplug mains plug on redundant appliances. Cut off

mains cable and discard with mains plug.

Destroy the lock on the door. To prevent playing

children from becoming trapped and endangered,

ensure that the door locking mechanism is disabled.

Packaging and old

applicances

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in

an environmentally-responsible manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European

Directive 2002/96/EC 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.

Protection of the environment / hints and

tips

Your washer-dryer uses water, energy and detergent

efficiently, thereby protecting the environment and

reducing your household costs. See page 53 for

consumption values of your appliance .

Hints and tips Using your washer-dryer in an efficient and

environmentally friendly manner:

■ Take advantage of recommended load quantity.

The recommended load quantity is indicated in the

display field according to the selected programme.

With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust

reduces the water and energy consumption.

■ Select the Cottons Eco 60 °C with Wash Plus

È programme instead of Cottons F 90°C. The

longer washing time in this 60 °C programme

means that the cleaning effects are comparable

with those of a 90 °C programme, although the

power consumption is considerably lower.

■ Do not use prewash for lightly to normally soiled

washing.

■ Add detergent according to the degree of soiling,

amount of laundry and water hardness, and

observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

■ If washing is then to be dried in the appliance,

select the higher spin speed - because the more

water that is spun out of the appliance, the less

time and energy is required to dry it, and get a

good drying performance. In case of cotton,

≥1000rpm spin speed is recommended; in case of

easycare, 800rpm spin speed is recommended.

Programme duration When the programme has been selected, the expected

programme duration (time after which the programme

is expected to end) is displayed.

The programme duration is displayed in hours and

minutes, e.g.

1:30 = 1 hour and 30 minutes

0:35 = 35 minutes.

When the programme has started, the programme

duration counts down in minutes.

When the programme ends, the displays shows -0-.

² While the programme is running, the programme

duration may be extended or reduced for the follow-

ing reasons.

Reductions in time occur because of:

– small loads,

– reduced heating times, e.g. if the water is very hot,

– reduced washing temperature after the programme

has started,

– the laundry for drying with low residual moisture.

12

Increases in time occur because of:

– additional rinse cycle if excessive foam is in the

laundry,

– multiple spinning if the laundry is distributed poorly

in the drum,

– increased heating times, e.g. when the water is too

cold,

– water pressure too low,

– selection of an additional option, e.g. Rinse Plus

' and/or Wash Plus È after the programme has

started,

– very absorbent washing extends the heating

duration,

– the laundry for drying is wet.

Finish in time You can select the finish in time, see page 33.

Drying duration or automatic

drying

You can set the drying duration or automatic drying by

touching the Dry ˆ

button, see page 29. When the

washing and drying without a break was selected, time

drying or auto drying duration will add in programme

duration automatically. Related programmes will

prolong 5-15 minutes for good washing performance.

Rinse cycles

On if there is (are) rinse cycle(s) with the selected

programme or “Rinse Plus '” was selected. The sym-

bol means “default rinse cycle(s) + selected

additional rinse cycle” by touching the “Rinse Plus '”

button.

Before using your washer-dryer for the first

time

Preparing your

washer-dryer

Attention

The washer-dryer must have been installed and

connected properly (refer to page 55).

² The washer-dryer was tested before leaving the

factory. To remove any water left over from

testing procedures, the first washing cycle should

be carried out without laundry in the machine.

■ Turn the tap on.

■ Pull out the detergent drawer all the way.

■ Pour approx. 1 litre of water into chamber II of the

detergent dispenser.

■ Half fill the measuring beaker with detergent and

pour into chamber II.

² Do not use any special detergents for delicates or

woollens (excessive foam).

■ Close the detergent drawer.

■ Close the washer-dryer door.

■ Set the programme selector to Cottons F

90 °C, see page 32.

■ Touch the Start/Pause P button.

The programme starts.

The programme ends when all symbols in the upper

row of the dispaly field go out, the progress bar is

completely filled and the programme duration is on -0-:

■ Turn the programme selector to Off.

14

Preparing, sorting and loading the laundry

Preparing the laundry Attention

Loose debris (e.g. coins, paper clips, needles, nails)

can damage items of clothing as well as parts of the

washer-dryer (e.g. drum).

■ Empty all pockets on items of clothing.

■ Brush sand out of pockets and cuffs/turn-ups.

■ Close zips, fasten pillow cases/cushion covers.

■ Remove curtain runners or tie up in a net/bag.

■ Wash in a net/cushion cover:

– delicates, e.g. tights, curtains,

– small laundry items, e.g. socks, handkerchiefs,

– underwired bras (underwire may become

detached during washing and cause damage).

■ Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. jersey

garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should be turned

inside out.

Preparing laundry for

drying

■ Only tumble-dry textiles which have been washed,

rinsed and spun.

■ Remove as much water as possible from the

laundry. Do not press the button for reducing the

spin speed.

■ Before tumble-drying, easy-care items should also

be spun using the appropriate spin programme

(see programme table).

■ In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items

according to fabric type and degree of drying

required.

15

■ Easy-care items should if possible be removed

from the machine while still slightly damp and

allowed to continue drying in the open air.

Overdrying may cause excessive creasing.

■ 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 evenly

distributed.

Sorting the laundry Attention

Washing may become discoloured. Do not wash

new coloured washing with other washing.

According to colour and

degree of dirt

White items may become grey. Wash white and

coloured items separately.

Degrees of dirt Lightly soiled

No visible soiling or stains. Washing has probably

absorbed body odour.

– Light-weight summer clothing and sportswear worn

for several hours.

– T-shirts, shirts, blouses worn for up to one day.

– Bed linen, guest towels used for one day.

16

Normally soiled

Visible soiling and/or a few light stains.

– T-shirts, shirts, blouses soaked in sweat or worn

several times.

– Underpants, briefs worn for one day.

– Tea towels, hand towels, bed linen used for up to

one week.

– Curtains (without nicotine soiling) used for up to six

months.

Very soiled

Visible soiling and/or stains.

– Kitchen towels used for up to one week. .

– Fabric serviettes.

– Baby bibs.

– Children's outer clothing or football jerseys and

shorts soiled with grass and/or earth.

– Work clothes, e.g. mechanic's overalls, baker's and

butcher's clothing.

Typical stains

– Skin grease, cooking oil/fat, sauces, mineral oil,

wax (containing fat/oil).

– Tea, coffee, red wine, fruit, vegetables (which can

be bleached).

– Blood, egg, milk, starch (containing protein,

carbohydrate).

– Soot, earth, sand (pigments), tennis clothing soiled

with red clay.

17

Removing stains

Remove/pretreat stains as soon as possible after they

have occurred.

First dab with a soapy solution. Do not rub.

Then select the appropriate programme and wash the

item.

Stubborn/dried in stains can sometimes only be

removed by washing several times.

Sorting laundry according to

the instructions on the care

labels

Only wash laundry that is labelled with the following

care symbols:

89:;<

hard-wearing textiles, heat-resistant textiles

e.g. made from cotton or linen

>AB

for easy-care textiles

e.g. cotton, linen, synthetic materials or blended fabrics

E>FA

for easy-care, washable textiles

e.g. silk, satin, synthetic materials or blended fabrics

(e.g. curtains)

6E>FA

for hand and machine washable wool or wool-rich

textiles

e.g. cashmere, mohair or angora, also suited for hand

washable silk.

Do not wash laundry items which bear the following

care label in the washer-dryer:

.

B= do not wash

18

Only dry laundry that is labelled with the following

care symbols:

a= tumble-dry at normal heat setting (Normal drying)

`= tumble-dry at low heating setting (Delicate drying)

² The following textiles should not be tumble-dried:

– Laundry marked with the care symbol b= do not

tumble-dry

– Wollens or items containing wool.

– Risk of shrinking!

– Delicate fabric (silk, synthetic net curtains)

– Risk of creasing!

– Items containing foam rubber or similar material.

– Items which have been treated with inflammable

solvents, such as stain removes, petrol, paint

thinners. Explosion hazard!

– Items still containing hair lacquer or similar

substances. Dangerous vapors!

– Dripping-wet laundry. Waste of energy!

19

Loading the laundry m Risk of explosion!

Items of clothing that have been pretreated with

solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover and

dry cleaning spirit, represent an explosion hazard once

loaded into the washer-dryer. Before loading the

laundry, rinse thoroughly by hand.

Attention

Foreign objects in the drum may damage the laundry.

Before loading the laundry, check that there is no

debris in the drum.

■ Open the washer-dryer door.

■ Unfold the sorted items of clothing and place them

loosely into the drum. Mix large and small items.

Laundry items which vary in size are more evenly

distributed during thespin cycle.

² Do not exceed recommended loads. Overloading

will cause poor wash results and encourage

creasing.

■ Close the washer-dryer door.

Take care not to trap any items of clothing between

the loading door and rubber seal.

Detergents and cleaning products

Dosing detergent m Risk of poisoning!

Keep detergents and additives out of the reach of

children.

Dose detergent according to

■ the water hardness. You can find out the water

hardness from your water utility company.

■ the amount of laundry.

■ the degree of soiling.

Information on soiling can be found on page 15.

■ the specifications of the detergent manufacturer.

The correct dosage reduces the impact on the

environment and produces a good washing result.

Pour liquid detergent into the corresponding

dispenser.

Too little detergent:

– The laundry is not washed clean and eventually

becomes grey and hard.

– Greyish-brown dots (grease spots) may stain the

laundry.

– The heating elements are calcifying.

Too much detergent:

– The environment is loaded.

– Excessive froth may be generated during the

wash cycle causing a reduction in the washing

mechanism. This may be the cause of poor

washing and rinsing results.
