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 cur-
tains, 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 instructions of the de-
tergent 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.

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.
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.
21
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.
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 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).
1 Warning! 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.
7. Close off the emergency drain hose

• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean
and dry and free from coverings that move, so that the appliance
does not slide.
• 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.
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.
29
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 1 bar (= 10N/cm2=0.1MPa) and may
be a maximum of 10bar (= 100N/cm
– If more than 10 bar: 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

Guarantee Conditions
Belgium
DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS.
Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still occur. Our consumer services department will repair this upon request, either during or after the guarantee period. The service life of the appliance will not, however, be reduced as a result.
This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this legislation are not
affected by this declaration of guarantee terms.
This declaration does not affect the vendor's statutory warranty to the end user. The appliance is
guaranteed within the context of and in adherence with the following terms:
1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of charge any
defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is delivered to the first end user.
These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent purposes.
2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in before
the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become
our property.
3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention immediately.
4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase showing the pur-
chase and/or delivery date.
5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass (vitreous ceramic),
synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.
6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or the overall reliability of the appliance.
7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:
• a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water,
• abnormal environmental conditions in general,
• unsuitable operating conditions,
• contact with harsh substances.
8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred outside of our responsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inadequate installation or assembly, lack
of maintenance or failure to respect the assembly instructions or directions for use.
9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried out by people who are not qualified or expert
or defects that result from the addition of non-original accessories or spare parts are not covered
by the guarantee.
10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer services department. Home repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or built-in appliances.
11 . If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way that removing and re-
placing them in the place where they are fitted takes more than half an hour, the costs that result
therefrom will be charged for. Connected damage caused by these removal and replacement operations will be the responsibility of the user.
12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or if the repair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement with the consumer, the defective appliance may be replaced with another appliance of the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated according to the
length of time it has been used.
13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be extended nor
that a new guarantee period begins.
14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.
15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms excludes
any compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the consumer wishes to assert his
rights. In the event of legally admitted liability, compensation will not exceed the purchase price
paid for the appliance.
33
These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. For exported
appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical conditions (e.g.: voltage,
frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the country concerned and that they can
withstand the local climatic and environmental conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the
user must first ensure that they meet the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjustments are not covered by the guarantee and are not possible in all cases.
Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guarantee period has
expired.
