Important information

Preparing for washing and drying/Protecting the laundry and the machine

 Empty any pockets.

 Check for metal items (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/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.

 Only use tumble-dry textiles if you select drying.

 Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. The recommended spin speed

for cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care use more than 800 rpm.

 In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree

of 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 evenly distributed.

 To achieve good drying results, dry quilt covers, terry towels or other large textile items

individually. Do not dry more than 4 terry towels (or 3 kg) at a time.

Before using for the first time

Do not put any laundry in the washer dryer. Turn on the tap, pour ½ a measuring cup

Start/Reload.

At the end of the programme, set the programme selector to ÂOff.

After a long period of not using or moving the machine

The syphon may be empty. If you select a single drying programme to prevent the hot

and humid steam from coming out of the empty syphon, the tap water will automatically

flow into the machine to fill the syphon at the beginning of the programme.

Starching is possible with all washing programmes using liquid starch. Pour the starch into

the fabric softener compartment according to the manufacturer's instructions (clean it first if

necessary).

Dyeing/bleaching

Dye should only be used in normal quantities. Salt may damage stainless steel. Always follow

the dye manufacturer's instructions. Do not bleach laundry in the washing machine.
