27 totalWhat should I do before using the washer dryer for the very first time?
Before first use, run the Drum Clean programme without any laundry to remove residual test water from the factory inspection. Select the Drum Clean Û 40°C programme, pour approximately 1 litre of water into dispenser II, and add standard detergent according to manufacturer's instructions for light soiling. Use only half the recommended amount of detergent to prevent frothing, and do not use woollens or mild detergents. (Page 43)
What does error code E:32 mean?
Error code E:32 indicates an unbalance problem, meaning the spinning phase has been aborted. This display alternates with 'End' when the programme is finished. To prevent this, ensure laundry is evenly distributed in the drum by mixing large and small items together. (Page 32)
How do I open the washer dryer door if there is a power failure?
In the event of a power failure, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug, then drain the detergent solution. After that, pull the emergency release downwards with a tool to release it, which will allow the washer dryer door to be opened. Do not open the door if water can be seen through the glass, as escaping water may cause water damage. (Page 31)
What are the maximum load capacities for washing and drying programmes?
The maximum load for the Cottons programme is 8 kg for washing and 5 kg for drying. For Easy-Care, the maximum is 4 kg for washing and 2.5 kg for drying, and for the Wool and Delicate/Silk programmes, the maximum washing load is 2 kg with no drying recommended for wool or delicates. For the standalone Intensive Dry programme, the maximum drying load is 5 kg, and for Gentle Dry it is 2.5 kg. (Page 20–22)
How do I clean the drain pump if it becomes blocked?
First, turn off the tap, switch off the appliance, and pull out the mains plug. Open and remove the service flap, take the drain hose out of its retainer, remove the sealing cap, and pour the water into a suitable container. Then carefully unscrew the pump cover, clean the interior, pump-cover thread, and pump housing, ensuring the impeller can rotate freely, before reassembling and replacing the service flap. (Page 29)
What textiles must NOT be dried in the washer dryer?
Textiles labelled with the 'Do not dry' care symbol must not be dried in the washer dryer. Additionally, wool or textiles containing wool, delicates such as silk and synthetic curtains, textiles containing foam rubber or similar materials, and textiles treated with flammable liquids such as stain remover or petroleum ether must never be dried in the appliance due to the risk of explosion.

en Faults and what to do about them 34 Fluff found on the washed laundry. Run the Drum Clean Ž (cold) programme without laundry and detergent to remove fluff which have accumulated inside the drum during the previous dry- ing cycle. Water inlet noise during the drying phase. The washer dryer uses water condensation technology, water is constantly needed to dry the laundry. Therefore the tap must be on all the time, till the end of drying phase. Drying duration extended. ■ Run the Drum Clean Ž (cold) programme to remove fluff which has col- lected in the washer drum during the drying phase. Drying programme does not start. ■ Drying programme not selected? Overview of programmes ~ Page 20 ■ Door not closed properly? The drying result is not satisfactory (laundry is not dry enough). ■ Excessively high ambient temperature (above 30 °C) or inadequate venti- lation 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 maxi- mum 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 wash- ing 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 not condensed totally. ■ The 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 sur- face, but not inside. This equalisation process may take longer. For these types of textiles, select drying mode · (Extra dry), or select additional time drying via Intensive Dry Š or Gentle Dry ‰ programmes. If a fault cannot be rectified (switching the machine on and off) or a repair is required: ■ Set the programme selector to $ Off and pull out the mains plug. ■ Turn off the tap and call customer service. ~ Page 35 Faults Cause/Remedy
