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 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.

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.
3By 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.

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.

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 underneath 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.
30
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 anti-clockwise 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.

small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under
the appliance.
35
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
3Automatic adjusting foot: The rear foot on the lefthand side of your
washing machine is built as a shock absorbing foot. This guarantees
that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds.
36
The four feet of the appliance are
pre-adjusted.
Large degrees of unevenness can be
compensated for by adjusting the
four feet of the appliance.
Use the special spanner supplied to
do this.
Important: Do not use pieces of
wood, cardboard or such like to level out small degrees of unevenness
in the floor. Adjust the adjustable
feet instead.
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 1bar (=10N/cm2=0.1MPa) and may
be a maximum of 10bar (= 100N/cm
– If more than 10bar: 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
behind it.) Re-insert the filter.

=1MPa).
37
Water inflow
A 1.50 m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance.
If a longer water inlet hose is required, only original hoses are to be
used. The Customer Care Department stocks hose kits of different
lengths.
3Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose
fitting or are included as spare parts . Do not use any other seals.
Important! All threaded hose fit-
tings must only be tightened by
hand.
1. Connect the hose with the right-angle connector to the machine.
Important! Do not position the inlet
hose vertically downwards. Position
it to the right or the left as shown in
the illustration.

all connections for water tightness.
38
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.
Draining water into a sink outlet
Secure the outlet/sink outlet joint
with a hose band clip (available from
your dealer).
Draining water into a wash basin/bath
1 Important!
– Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter may overflow.

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.
Pumping heights over 1 m
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of
1meter, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.

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.

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.
40
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.
