•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 solutions. 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 and Infirm Persons

•Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.

•This appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

•Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical appliances. Do not 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!

5

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.

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 program 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. Program: LINEN/EASYCARES 60 °C, option TIME SAVING: VERY SHORT, use approx. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.

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 NOT be washed in this washing machine.

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.

12

Running a washing cycle

Opening the door/loading washing

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

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

caught between the door and the rubber seal.

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

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.

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.

13

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

2.Add the detergent/additives.

3.Push the drawer in fully.
