Your New Washer-Dryer
This new machine, meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low
water, energy and detergent consumption.
●The special wool programmewith its new delicate
wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
●The balance control deviceensures that the
machine remains stable when spinning.
●Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C
before draining, with the 95°C programme. This
reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent
creasing.
●The two drying programmeswill give your wash
that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.
●The ECO VALVEallows total use of detergent and
reduces water consumption so saving energy.
Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:
●Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the
hardness of your water supply, the amount of
laundry and the degree of soiling.
●Select the “Quick” wash option for lightly soiled
laundry.
●A programme without prewash is sufficient for
normally soiled laundry.
●Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the
machine as small loads are uneconomical.
●Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the
shorter the drying times.
In the interest 
of the environment
●Materials marked with the symbol  are
recyclable. 
●Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.
●When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door lock device
unusable to prevent young children from being
trapped inside.
●Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance. 
The symbol  on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to
the applicable collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this
product is disposed of correctly, you will help
prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling
of this product. For more detailed information about
recycling of this product, please contact your local
city office, your household waste disposal service or
the shop where you purchased the product.
How do we help to protect the environment?
We use recycled paper!
Important
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, it is because it is not evenly
distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the
wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed Something
Not Working.
