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.

Before the first wash
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.

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.
If you are using liquid detergent:
Add liquid detergent using the dosage containers
provided by the detergent manufacturer.
