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.

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.
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.
• 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.
