The following instructions must be observed when preparing your laundry:
■ Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when dosing all detergents, cleaning aids, care products and cleaning agents.
■ Do not exceed maximum load. Overfilling will impair the washing result.
■ Keep detergents and agents for the pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain remover, prewash sprays, etc.) away from the surfaces of the appliance. Using a damp cloth, immediately remove any fine spray residue and other residue or droplets.
■ Empty any pockets. Remove any foreign objects.
■ Remove metal parts (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 appliance-washable.
■ Wash delicates in a net or bag (tights, underwired bras, etc).
■ Close zips, button up covers.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
■ Remove curtain fittings or place in a net/bag.
Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care instructions and manufacturer's information on the care labels, depending on:
■ Type of fabric/fibre
■ Colour
Note: Laundry may discolour. Wash white and coloured items separately. Wash new coloured items separately the first time you wash them.
■ Soiling Wash laundry with the same level of soiling together.
– Light: No need to pretreat, adjust the 
SpeedPerfect setting if necessary.
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry, need to pretreat or soak laundry firstly.
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains while they are fresh. First dab with soapy water; do not rub. Then wash the items of laundry with the appropriate programme. Stubborn or dried-in stains can sometimes only be removed by washing several times.
■ Symbols on the care labels
Suitable for normal washing process;e.g. Cottons 
programme
A gentle washing process is required; e.g. Synthetics 
programme
An especially gentle washing process is required; e.g. Delicates/Silk 
programme

| The drying result is not satisfactory (laundry is not dry enough). |
■ After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse. ■ Excessively high ambient temperature (above 30 °C) or inadequate ventilation in the room in which the washer dryer is situated. ■ The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying. Always set the highest selectable spin speed for the particular washing programme. ■ Washer dryer overloaded: Observe the recommendations for the maximum load in the programme table and on the load display. Do not overload the washer dryer, as the maximum load for the drying phase is less than the maximum load for the wash cycle. Unload the washer dryer after washing with the maximum load and divide the laundry into two drying cycles. ■ The power supply voltage is too low (below 200 V) – provide a suitable power supply. ■ The water pressure is low. According to water condensing principle, low water pressure will cause evaporated steam to not condense properly and completely. ■ The water tap is closed during drying. Due to the use of the water condensation technology for drying, please keep the connected water tap open during the drying process, otherwise proper drying cannot be guaranteed. ■ Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings dry easily on the surface, but not inside. This equalisation process may take longer. |
