Operating Instructions

1 Safety

Prior to using for the first time

• Follow the ”Instructions for installation and con-

nection”.

• 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 domestic 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 so-

lutions. 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 asso-

ciated with electrical appliances. Don’t allow chil-

dren 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 car-

ried 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 supply and shut off the water tap.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the ca-

ble. 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 wa-

ter 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, be-

fore 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 wa-

ter damage! Keep small animals away from the

washing machine.

Setting the time

So that the current time and the end of the pro-

gramme are correctly displayed, please check the

display and set the current time, if necessary. (See

“Setting extra options: Timer”.)

Carrying out a wash pro-

gramme 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 curtains, tights, socks, handker-

chiefs, bras.

Important! Bras and other items containing wires

should only be washed in a net bag. The wires can

work loose and damage the appliance.

Sorting washing

• By colour: Wash white and coloured washing sep-

arately. 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.

EXTRAS

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/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.

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 indi-

cator. Add water to thick liquid concentrates in ac-

cordance with the manufacturer’s instructions before

using them. Dissolve powder starches.
