Description of the washer-dryer

The washer-dryer can be used in 3 ways :

• washing only
• drying only
• successive washing and drying.

The successive wash-dry programme automatically shifts from the wash cycle to the dry cycle without further intervention.

Drying is achieved using the condensation principle. The condensate that is produced during drying runs via the Drain hose into the Drain tank.

Caution: the water supply hose and water Drain hose must be correctly connected during washing and drying The tap must be open.

A safety device prevents the door from being opened during operation.

Before opening

Make sure that there is no water in the drum and that the drum is not moving.

Emergency release

In the event of a power cut, the door can be released mechanically
