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 cur-
tains, tights, socks, handkerchiefs, bras.
Important! Bras and other items containing wires should NOT be
washed in this washing machine.
10
Sorting washing
• By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can
run.

Adding detergent/additives
Important: Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use
in domestic washing machines.
1For 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.
Dose detergent and additives according to the instructions of the detergent and additive manufacturers. Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
11
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.

ProblemPossible causeRemedy
Wait until indicator
(DOOR) is lit green.
The programme will continue
when the power cut is over.
To remove washing:
If water can be seen in the
appliance, before opening
the door, first drain off the
water. (See section “Carrying
out an emergency drain”.)
Observe maximum loads.
The door cannot be
opened when the washing machine is switched
on.

For safety reasons, the door
remains locked for approx. 4
to 10 minutes.
Possibly too much washing
was loaded.
If the wash results are not satisfactory
Washing is grey and scale is being deposited in the drum
• Too little detergent is being used.
• The right detergent was not used.
• Special soiling was not pre-treated.
• Programme or temperature was not correctly set.
There are grey stains on the washing.
• Washing soiled with ointment, grease or oil was washed with too lit-
tle detergent.
• It was washed at too low a temperature.
• A common cause is that fabric conditioner – especially a concentrate
– has got onto the washing. Such stains should be washed out as
quickly as possible and make sure that you are careful when using
fabric conditioner.
After the last rinse foam can still be seen.
• Modern detergents may create foam even in the last rinse cycle. The
washing is however sufficiently rinsed.
There are white residues on the washing.
• This is due to the insoluble ingredients in modern detergents.
They are not caused by insufficient rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out
before washing. Check your choice of detergent. Especially with dark
colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents.

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 under-
neath 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.
22
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).
1Warning! Before opening the pump cover, switch off the washing ma-
chine 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 anticlockwise 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.

water authority and building regulations’ requirements.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water
connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate
the appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.
Aqua Control
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects
against damage caused by water
leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the
hose. This fault is shown by a red
sector in the window „A”. Should this
occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace
the hose.

Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface
on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only original hoses may be used to extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m
laid on the floor and then 80 cm vertically). The Customer Care Department stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.

not be in the water that has been
pumped out. Otherwise water
could be sucked back into the appliance.
– When draining into a wash basin
or a bath, secure the drain hose
with the supplied elbow to stop it
slipping. Otherwise the water running out can force the hose out of
the basin.
– When pumping the water out,
check that the water is running
away fast enough.
