Operating Instructions

1 Safety

Prior to using the appliance for the first time

•Follow the “Installation and connection instructions”.

•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.

•Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in domestic washing machines.

•The washing must not contain any flammable solvent. The risk of explosion exists.

•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 accept liability 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 unsupervised.

•Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the washing machine. The risk of death exists.

General safety

•Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified/ authorised service engineers.

•Never use the appliance when the electrical cable is damaged or the control panel, worktop or plinth area are damaged to such an extent that the inside of the appliance is openly accessible.

5

•Switch off the washing machine prior to cleaning it and carrying out maintenance. In addition, remove the power plug from the power point or – if the appliance has been hard-wired – switch off the cutout in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse.

•If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and turn off the tap.

•Never remove the power plug from the power point by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

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

Resulting overheating may constitute a fire hazard.

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

•When using wash programmes with high temperatures the glass in the door will become 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 on electrical cables and water hoses. This can constitute a risk of electrocution and water damage. Keep small animals away from the washing machine.

1 Warning: When your appliance has finished its working life, remove the plug from the mains socket. Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.

Destroy the door lock. This prevents children from trapping themselves inside and endangering their lives.

1)A 10 litre bucket holds around 2.5 kg of dry washing (cotton)

2)Program settings for testing in accordance with or in support of EN 60 456 and IEC 60 456 are described in the Chapter “Consumption Values”.

3)Recommended load for short progammes is 3,5kg; full loading is possible however with somewhat reduced cleaning results.

4) STAIN can only be selected with wash temperatures of 40°C and above, as stain treatment products are only effective at higher temperatures.

Setting the time

So that the time and the end of the program are correctly displayed, please check the display and set the current time if necessary. To do this, please see the section “Setup/Clock”.

Carrying out a wash programme prior to first use

In order to remove any residues from the drum and water container which may have been left during manufacturing, perform the first wash cycle without any washing in the machine. Programme: LINEN/ EASY CARES 60 °C, option Time saving: VERY SHORT, use approx. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.

Preparing and sorting washing

Preparing washing

•Empty the 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 delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains, tights, small 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 appliance.

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 the Gcare symbol (= do not wash!) in the washing machine.

11

Running a wash cycle

Opening the door/Loading the washing

1. To open the door: pull the handle on the door.

2. Unfold washing and load it loosely into the machine. Mix large and small items. Attention! Do not get any washing

caught between the door and the rubber seal.

3.Push the door firmly shut. Door catch must audibly click shut.

Adding detergent/conditioner

Important: Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in household 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 degree of soiling,

–the load size

–the hardness of the tap water.

•If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with regard to small volumes of washing: For a half-load use a third less, and for a very small load use only the half the amount of detergent that is recommended for a full load.

•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 indicator. Add water to thick liquid concentrates in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions before using them. Dissolve powder starch.

If you are using liquid detergent:

Add liquid detergent using measuring containers provided by the detergent manufacturer.

Switching on the appliance/selecting a programme

Select the programme using the programme knob, e. g., LINEN/EASY CARES.

3 When you select a programme, you switch the appliance on at the same time.

– The display lights up and shows the programme set, the current time and the estimated end of the cycle.

–Depending on the programme, the washing machine suggests a temperature and a spin speed. You can change these suggestions.

–The lighting for the display switches itself off at the end of the cycle or, if the appliance is not started after the programme is set, after 10 minutes. To switch the light on again, press any key or turn the programme knob.

• With	RINSE HOLD the washing is left to soak in the last rinse wa-

ter. There is no final spin after the intermediate spin(s). Intermediate spins are programme-dependent and cannot be altered.

14

Setting options

Options can be added to a wash cycle that has already been selected. Press the OPTIONS key. The display shows the symbols for the options.

PREWASH

Pre-washes at about 30 °C before the main wash cycle, which follows automatically.

SENSITIVE

Enhanced rinse action through an additional rinse cycle together with decreased drum movement (improved fabric care). Ideal when frequent washes are necessary, e. g. in cases of over-sensi- tive skin. An additional rinse cycle can also be permanently set (see section “Setup”).

STAIN

For heavily soiled or stained washing. In-wash stain treatment products are washed in at the optimum time as the programme progresses.

NIGHT CYCLE

The washing is left to soak in the final rinse water. There is no final spin and no intermediate spin. Because of this the programme runs very quietly. NIGHT CYCLE is therefore particularly suitable if you want to wash at night.

Setup

The special functions that can be set under Setup remain permanently stored in the appliance, e. g., time, language, etc. (see section “Setup”), until they are changed or deactivated.

3Only the options that can be combined with the cycle that has already been set are shown in the display.
