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 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 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 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.

Energy-saving programme at 60 °C for lightly to normally soiled whites/coloureds made of cot­ton/linen.

Programme for normally to heavily soiled whites and coloureds made of cotton/linen.

Programme for whites and coloureds which are labelled for different wash temperatures. Items,
which according to the care symbols are normally to be washed separately at 40 °C or at 60 °C,
can be washed together in this programme. This makes better use of the drum capacity and thus
saves energy. Through an increased wash time the washing results of a normal 60° programme
are achieved.

Programme for easy-care mixed fibres and synthetics.

Special programme at 40 °C for easy-care fabrics which, after this programme, need no or very
little ironing.

Before the first wash

1. Open the detergent dispenser drawer.

2. Pour about 1 litre of water through the detergent

dispenser drawer into the washing machine.

This closes the water container when the next pro­gramme is started and the economy valve can func­tion properly.

3. 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:
COTTONS/LINEN 60, press QUICK WASH, add 1/
4 of a measuring cup of washing powder.

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

Adding detergent/

additives

Important: Use only detergents and additives that

are suitable for use in domestic washing machines.
Dose detergent and additives according to the in-

structions of the detergent and additive manufactur­ers. Follow the instructions on the packaging.

Dosing depends upon:

– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the size of the load
– the degree of hardness of the water supply.

• If the manufacturer does not give instructions for

small loads: for a half load, use a third less, for a
very small load, use only half of the detergent that
is recommended for a full load.

• From water hardness 2 (= medium) upwards, water
softener should be used. Detergent can then al­ways be dosed for water hardness 1
(= soft). Your local water company will be able to
give you information about the water hardness in
your area.

1. Pull the detergent dispenser drawer out as far as
the stop.

2. Add the detergent/additives.

3. Push the drawer in fully.

is advisable to use liquid detergents.

Carrying out an emergen­cy drain

1 Warning! Before emergency draining, switch

off the washing machine and remove the
mains plug from the socket.

Warning! The water that comes out of the emergen­cy drain hose may be hot. There is a risk of scalding.
Let the water cool before performing an emergency
drain.

1. Open the plinth flap and remove it.

2. Take out the emergency drain hose.

3. Place a shallow container underneath it. Then

loosen the drain plug by turning it in an anti-clock­wise direction and pull it out.

4. The water runs out. If it is necessary to empty the
container more than once, seal up the emergency
drain hose with the drain plug while you are doing
so.

When the water has all drained away:

5. Push the drain plug firmly into the emergency drain
hose and screw it tight in a clockwise direction.

6. Place the emergency drain hose back in the sup­port.

7. Insert the plinth flap and close it.

19

Drain pump

The drain pump is maintenance-free. It is only neces­sary to open the pump cover if there is a malfunction
and water is no longer being pumped out, e. g. if the
pump wheel is blocked.
Please make sure before loading the washing that
there are no foreign bodies in the pockets or caught
between the washing. Paperclips, nails, etc. that
may have got into the washing machine with the
washing remain in the pump housing (foreign body
trap that protects the pump wheel).

1 Warning! Before opening the pump cover,

switch off the washing machine and remove
the mains plug from the socket.

1. First carry out an emergency drain.

2. Place a cloth on the floor in front of the drain pump

cover.
Residual water runs out.

3. Unscrew the pump cover in an anti-clockwise di­rection and remove it.

4. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the pump
housing and from the pump wheel.

5. Check whether the pump wheel right at the back of
the pump housing can turn. (It is normal for the
pumping wheel to turn jerkily.) If the pumping
wheel cannot be turned, please contact the Cus­tomer Care Department.

6. Insert the pump cover. Insert the guides at the
sides of the cover into the guide slots and tighten
the cover by turning in a clockwise direction.

7. Close off the emergency drain hose and place it in
the support.

8. Close plinth flap.

• If the location in which the appliance is to be in­stalled is fitted with small-format tiles, put a rubber
mat (available in the shops) under the appliance.

If the appliance is to stand on a plinth:

In order for the appliance to be secure on the plinth,
fixing plates*) must be mounted, into which the ap­pliance is inserted.

If the appliance is to stand on floors that
vibrate, e. g. floors of wooden joists with
deal boards:

If possible, install the appliance in one corner of the
room.

1. Screw a water-resistant wooden board (at least 15
mm thick) onto at least 2 of the floor joists.

2. Affix fixing plates *) onto the wooden board, into
which the appliance is inserted.
*) The fixing plates can be obtained from the Cus­tomer Care Department.

25

Making the appliance level

The four feet of the appliance are pre-adjusted.
Large degrees of unevenness can be compensated
for by individually adjusting the height adjustable
screw feet.
Use the special spanner supplied to do this.

Important! Do not use pieces of wood, cardboard or
such like to level out unevenness in the floor, but ad­just the height adjustable screw feet instead.

Electrical connection

Details about the voltage, type of supply and the fus­es required are to be found on the rating plate. The
rating plate is next to the doorway.

Connecting to the water supply

Important!

• This appliance must not be connected to the hot
water system.

• When connecting it, use only new hose kits.

• Only connect the appliance to the drinking water

supply. Rain water or water for industrial use may
only be used if it fulfils the requirements of
DIN1986 and DIN1988.

• Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain
hose.

Permitted water pressure

The water pressure must be at least 1bar (=10N/

2

cm

=0.1MPa) and may be a maximum of 10bar
(=100N/cm
– If more than 10bar: Connect a pressure reduction

valve.

– If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of

the inlet hose from the solenoid inlet valve and re­move the flow meter. (In addition remove the filter
using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket
