Operating Instructions
1 Safety
Prior to using for the first time
Follow the ”Instructions for installation and connection”.
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 do­mestic laundry at home.
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
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 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.
Small animals can nibble at the cables and water hoses. Danger of electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away from the washing machine.

Before the first wash
1. Open the detergent dispenser drawer.
2. Pour about 2 litres 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) 95, 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.
