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 minus

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 domes-

tic laundry at home.

• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permitted.

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

washing machines.

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

plosion!

• 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 ap-

pliances. Do not allow children to use the washing machine unsupervised.

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

machine. Could endanger life!

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 servic-

ing. 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.

6

• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply

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 elec-

tric 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 elec-

tric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away from

the washing machine.

Setting the time

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

played, please check the display and set the current time, if necessary. (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 COTTONS 95°, option TIME SAVING/VERY

QUICK, use approx. 1/4 measuring cup of washing powder). This will re-

move 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 curtains,

tights, socks, handkerchiefs, bras.

Important! Bras and other items containing wires should NOT be washed in

this washing machine.

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.

gramme setting process or when

loading with laundry, the follow-

ing indicators appear on the dis-

play 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 indica-

Adding detergent/conditioner

Important: Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in do-

mestic washing machines.

1 For USA and Canada only!

Important! Only LOW-SUDSING detergent suitable for a front-loading

washing machine can be used in this machine. This machine can heat the

water up to 95 degrees celsius, or 200 degrees fahrenheit, and care should

be taken to ensure that the correct washing powder is used. If you have any

doubt, check with your dealer or the distributor.

WARRANTY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARE VOIDED IF A LOW

SUDSING DETERGENT IS NOT USED.

Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/conditioner

manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packaging.

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 (=medium). 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 deter-

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

for the main wash cycle in the left compartment.
