Energy-saving program at 60 °C for lightly to normally soiled whites/coloureds made of cotton/linen.
Energy-saving program at 95 °C for normally to heavily soiled whites/coloureds made of cotton/linen.
General program for whites/coloureds made of cotton/linen as well as for easy-care mixed fibres and synthetics. The program is automatically adjusted to the different fabric types and load sizes. If loading only with easy-care washing, do not load more than 3 kg.
Program for whites/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 program. This makes better use of the drum capacity and thus saves energy. Through an increased wash time the wash­ing results of a normal 60° program are achieved.
Gentle program for delicate fabrics such as bonded fabrics, microfibres, synthetics, net curtains (max. net curtain load 20 to 25 m
Particularly delicate program for machine washable and hand washable wool or wool mixtures.
Particularly delicate program at 30 °C, for machine washable and hand washable silk. Wash very delicate items individually.
Draining and spinning, e.g. after a rinse hold/night cycle, or separate spin for hand­washed cottons/linens and easy-cares.
Separate gentle rinse (3 rinses, liquid conditioner is washed in from compartment &, gentle spin).
Pumps water away after a rinse hold.
Special cycle at 30 °C, about 20 minutes long, for quickly washing through e. g. once worn, slightly dirty sports clothing or new clothes.
Special cycle for easy-care fabrics, which afterwards are to be ironed only lightly or not at all.

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 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.
12
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.
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. 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 loadthe 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.
13
Washing powder/tablets for the main wash
In-wash stain treatment/ tablets
Softeners/ wash-care products to preserve the shape of garments/ starch
Washing powder/tablets for the pre-wash or for water softener
Washing powder/tablets for the main wash If you are using water softener and need the right-hand compartment
for the pre-wash detergent, add the water softener to the main wash detergent in the left-hand compartment.
Softeners, wash-care products to preserve the shape of garments, starch
Do not fill the compartment beyond the MAX mark. Dilute thick liquid concentrates according to the manufacturer’s instructions before putting them into the drawer. Dissolve powder starches.
If you use liquid detergents: Add liquid detergent using the dosage container provided by the deter­gent manufacturer.
Switching on the appliance/selecting a program
Select the program using the program knob, e.g., LINEN/ EASY-CARES.
3 By selecting a program, you
switch the appliance on at the same time. – The display lights up and
shows the program set, the current time and the esti­mated end of the cycle.
– Depending on the program, the washing machine suggests a temper-
ature and a spin speed. You can change these suggestions.
– The lighting for the display switches itself off at the end of the cycle
or, if the appliance is not started after the program is set, after 10 minutes. To switch the light on again, press any key or turn the program knob.

last rinse water is drained off at the end of the cycle, but the washing is not spun.
With n RINSE HOLD the washing is left to soak in the last rinse wa-
ter. There is no final spin after the intermediate spin(s). Intermediate spins are programme-dependent and cannot be altered.
Setting options
Options can be added to a wash cycle that has already been selected. Press the OPTION key. The display shows the symbols for the options.

14.37
V Prewash
Pre-washes at about 30 °C before the main wash cycle, which fol­lows automatically.
S Sensitive
Enhanced rinse action through an additional rinse cycle together with decreased drum movement (improved fabric care). This is ideal when frequent washes are necessary, for example, in cases of highly sensitive skin. An additional rinse cycle can also be permanently set (see section “Setup”).
15
F Stain
For heavily soiled and stained washing. In-wash stain treatment products are washed in at the optimum time as the program progresses.
L Night Cycle
The washing is left to soak in the final rinse water. There is no final spin and no intermediate spin. Because of this the program runs very quietly. NIGHT CYCLE is therefore particularly suitable if you want to wash at night.
B Setup
The special functions that can be set under Setup remain perma­nently stored in the appliance, e. g., time, language, etc. (see sec­tion “Setup”) until they are changed or deactivated.
3 Only the options that can be combined with the cycle that has already
been set are shown in the display.

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.

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.

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.
