11When the programme ends, the displays shows -0-. ²While the programme is running, the programme duration may be extended or reduced for the following 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. 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 O 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 32. Drying duration or automatic drying You can set the drying duration or automatic drying by touching the Š Dry button, see page 28. 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.
12 Before using your washer-dryer for the first time Preparing your washer-dryerCaution The washer-dryer must have been installed and connected properly (refer to page 53). ²The 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. ²Do 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 ic with washing temperature 90°C. ■Touch the Start/Pause A button. The programme starts. The programme ends when the programme duration is on -0-: ■Turn the programme selector to Off.
13 Preparing, sorting and loading the laundry Preparing the laundry Caution 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.jg. tights, curtains, – small laundry items, e.jg. 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. ■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.
14 ■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 Caution 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. 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.
15Very soiled Visible soiling and/or stains. – Kitchen towels used for up to one week. – Fabric serviettes. – Baby bibs. – Childrens outer clothing or football jerseys and shorts soiled with grass and/or earth. – Work clothes, e.g. mechanics overalls, bakers and butchers 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. 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.
16 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) hE>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
17Only 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) ²The 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!
18 Loading the laundry mRisk 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. Caution 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. ²Do 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. clack
19 Detergents and cleaning products Dosing detergent mRisk 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 14. – 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.
20 Adding detergent/ cleaning product Dispenser I Detergent for prewash or starch. Dispenser II Detergent for main wash, water softener, pre-soaking agent, bleach and stain removal product. Dispenser M Cleaning product, e. g. fabric softener or fabric conditioner (do not fill above the lower edge of the insert 1). ²Concentrated or viscous fabric softener or fabric conditioner must be diluted with a little water before it is poured into the dispenser (prevents the over- flow from becoming blocked). ■Pull out the detergent drawer all the way. ■Pour in detergent and/or cleaning product. ■Close the detergent drawer.
