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 mi-
nus 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 do-
mestic laundry at home.
• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permit-
ted.
• Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in domestic
washing machines.
• The washing must not contain any flammable solvent. The risk of ex-
plosion 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 unsu-
pervised.
• Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the
washing machine. The risk of death exists.
6
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.
• 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 cut-
out in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse.
• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-
ply 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.

Before the first wash
1. Open the detergent drawer.
2. Pour approx. 1 litre of water through the detergent drawer into the
washing machine.
This closes the water container when the next programme is started
and the economy valve can function properly
3. To remove any production-related residues from the drum and water
tank, perform the first wash cycle without a load. Programme: COT-
TONS/LINEN 60, press the TIME SAVER button, add approx. 1/4 measur-
ing 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 appli-
ance.
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 G care symbol (= do not
wash!) in the washing machine.

Running a wash cycle
Opening the door/loading washing
1. Open the door: pull the handle on the door.
When the appliance is switched on, the DOOR and START/PAUSE indica-
tors show whether the door can be opened:
2. Separate washing and load loosely.
Mix large and small items.
Important: Do not get any washing
caught between the door and the
rubber seal.
3. Firmly push the door shut. Door
catch must audibly click shut.
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/condi-
tioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packag-
ing.
The amount of detergent used depends on:
– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the load size
– the hardness of the tap water.
• If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with re-
gard to small volumes of washing: for a half-load use a third less, and
for a very small load use only half the amount of detergent that is
recommended for a full load.
• Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-
um). 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.
