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 minus
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 ap-
pliances. 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!
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.
5
• 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.

• 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 curtains,
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.

Important: Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use in
domestic washing machines.
1 For USA and Canada only!
Important! Only LOW-SUDSING detergent suitable for a front-loading
washing machine can be used in this machine. This machine can heat the
water up to 95 degrees celsius, or 200 degrees fahrenheit, and care should
be taken to ensure that the correct washing powder is used. If you have any
doubt, check with your dealer or the distributor.
WARRANTY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARE VOIDED IF A LOW
SUDSING DETERGENT IS NOT USED.
Dose detergent and additives according to the instructions of the detergent
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.
12
• 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.

If the wash results are not satisfactory
Washing is grey and scale is being deposited in the drum
• Too little detergent is being used.
• The right detergent was not used.
• Special soiling was not pre-treated.
• Programme or temperature was not correctly set.
There are grey stains on the washing.
• Washing soiled with ointment, grease or oil was washed with too little 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
21
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.
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 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.
22
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.
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 machine
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.
23
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
and place it in the support.

=1MPa).
Water inlet
Attention!
• An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
• Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the
water supply.
• This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
1.Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
30
2.Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine.
Important!
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or
right depending on the position of your
water tap.
3.Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.
4.Connect the hose to a tap with a
3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the
appliance.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa
(0.5 bar) is required for safe operation of
the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.
Aqua Control
The inlet hose is provided with a water
stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose
which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a
red sector in the window „A”. Should this
occur, turn the water tap off and refer to
your Service Centre to replace the hose.
31
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).
