Operating Instructions

1 Safety

Prior to using for the first time

• Follow the ”Instructions for installation and connection”.

• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are mi-

nus temperatures: Store the washing machine at room temperature

for 24 hours before using for the first time.

Correct use

• The washing machine is only designed for the washing of normal do-

mestic laundry at home.

• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permit-

ted.

• Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use in domes-

tic washing machines.

• The washing must not contain any inflammable solutions. Danger of

explosion!

• Do not use the washing machine for dry cleaning.

• Dyes/colour removers may only be used in the washing machine, if

the manufacturer of these products expressly permits this. We cannot

be held responsible for any damage arising.

Child safety

• Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.

• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical

appliances. Don’t allow children to use the washing machine unsu-

pervised.

• Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the

washing machine. Could endanger life!

6

General safety

• Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified

service engineers.

• Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged; or if

the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the

inside of the appliance is freely accessible.

• Switch off the washing machine before cleaning, maintenance and

servicing. In addition, pull the mains plug out of the socket or – in

the case of a permanent connection – switch off the cut-out in the

fuse box or remove the screw fuse completely.

• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-

ply and shut off the water tap.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the

plug.

• Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.

This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

• Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of

electric shock!

• In washing programmes with high temperatures the glass in the door

gets hot. Do not touch it.

• Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the

drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool

down.

• Small animals can nibble at the cables and water hoses. Danger of

electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away

from the washing machine.

Before the first wash

Setting the time

So that the current time and the end of the programme are correctly

displayed, please check the display and set the current time, if neces-

sary. (See “Setting extra options: Timer”.)

Carrying out a wash programme prior to first use

Before doing your first wash, run a washing cycle without any washing

in the machine (programme LINEN/EASY-C. 60°, option TIME SAVING/

VERY QUICK, use approx. 1/4 measuring cup of washing powder).

This will remove any residues from the drum and water container which

have been left as a result of the production process.

Preparing and sorting washing

Preparing washing

• Empty pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e. g. coins, paper clips, nails,

etc.).

• Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing.

• Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a

bag.

• Wash sensitive and small items in a net or a pillow case, e.g. net cur-

tains, tights, socks, handkerchiefs, bras.

Important! Bras and other items containing wires should only be

washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appli-

ance.

Sorting washing

• By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can

run.

• By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.

Important! Do not wash fabrics with care symbol G (= do not wash!)

in the washing machine.

extra options: Rinse+”).

STAIN For heavily soiled or stained washing. In-wash

stain treatments are washed in at the optimum

loosely into the machine. Mix large

and small items.

Important: Do not get any washing

caught between the door and the

rubber seal.

CURRENT LOAD/DETERGENT display

3 If settings are not undertak-

en for several seconds during

the programme setting proc-

ess or when loading with

laundry, the following indi-

cators appear on the display

when the machine door is

open:

– the maximum permissible loading for the programme marked,

– the actual loading. This is also displayed by the bars (loads of less

than 0.5kg are not displayed),

– and washing agent measurement, with reference to the volume of

laundry, as recommended by the washing agent manufacturer.

If too much laundry has been loaded into the machine, the following

indicator appears in the display OVERLOADING. Please remove the rele-

vant amount of laundry in such cases.

Press any button or turn any knob to undertake more programme

settings.

3 If the laundry is removed again before the programme starts, the CURR.

LOAD display may not change back to 0. If this occurs, please turn the

machine off and switch it back on again after approx. 3 seconds. Reset

the programme and refill machine with laundry.

The CURR. LOAD display goes out if the machine is closed.

19

Adding detergent/conditioner

Important: Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use

in domestic washing machines.

Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/condi-

tioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packag-

ing.

The amount of detergent used depends on:

– the washing’s degree of soiling,

– the load size

– the hardness of the tap water.

Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-

um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for

hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you

with information about water hardness in your area.

The suggested dosage in the display may therefore just be a guideline.

1. Pull out the detergent drawer as far as it will go.

2. Add the detergent/conditioner.

3. Push the detergent drawer in fully.

Washing powder/tablets for the main wash cycle

If you are using water softener and require the right compartment for

detergent for the pre-wash cycle, add the water softener on top of the

detergent for the main wash cycle in the left compartment.

Softener, wash-care products to preserve the shape of garments,

starch

Fill the compartment to no more than the MAX indicator. Add water to

thick liquid concentrates in accordance with the manufacturer’s in-

structions before using them. Dissolve powder starches.

If you are using liquid detergent:

Add liquid detergent using the dosage containers provided by the de-

tergent manufacturer.
