*The consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with Standard IEC/EN 60456.
** The programme duration may also vary from the chart values. The washing machine is able to allow for particular
household conditions and to adapt the programme run time accordingly.
*** To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains
the water out.
POUR IN DETERGENT, CLOSE THE DOOR
AND SELECT A PROGRAMME
Add the detergent as described in the chapter
“Detergent and Additives” in the instructions for use.
1. Turn the programme selector knob in any
direction to the desired programme.
The light above the “Start” button flashes.
2. The programme sequence indicator and the
indicator with the maximum possible spin speed
light up.
SELECT SPECIAL OPTIONS - The
corresponding lights go on (if not selectable:
rapid flashing for 3 seconds)
“Prewash” button
• Only for heavily soiled laundry (e.g. sand or
granular dirt). Programme duration is increased
by some 15 min.
“Intensive Rinse” button
• An additional rinse cycle is carried out.
• This option is particularly suitable for areas with
very soft water, washing baby linen and helps
people with detergent allergies.
“Rinse Hold” button
• The laundry remains in the last rinse water without
being spun: discoloration of the laundry and
additional creasing are prevented.
• This option is particularly recommended for the
programme “Synthetic” or “Delicate”.
• This function is particularly useful if you want to
postpone spinning to a later time.
Note: The programme has reached the “Rinse
Hold” when the corresponding light flashes.
Terminate the “Rinse Hold” option:
• Press the “Rinse Hold” button again; the
programme will terminate automatically with the
appropriate spin cycle for the current
programme.
• If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the
programme selector knob to “Drain” and press
the “Start” button again.
“Speed Reduction” button
• A maximum spin speed is assigned to each
programme.
• Press the button to set another speed for the
spin cycle.
• If no light goes on, the final spin is cancelled.
The water is only drained out.
PROGRAMME START
After you have selected the programme and the
additional option, the indicator light over the
“Start” button flashes. Turn on the tap and start
the programme by pressing the “Start” button.
Now the indicator light above the button goes on.
In addition, all programme phases are indicated by
the associated lights. After the end of a programme
phase, the associated indicator light goes out. Thus
the programme sequence indicator moves from left
to right across the wash, rinse and spin phases. At
the end of the programme, only the “End” indicator
is still on.
“DOOR LOCKED” INDICATOR
As long as a washing programme is running, the
lamp lights up to show that the door cannot be
opened. When the lamp goes off, the door can be
opened again.
If “Start” has been pressed, but the door is not
latched, the “Door Locked” indicator flashes for 10
seconds. The door must be pushed shut within this
time. After the 10 seconds, the “Door Locked”
indicator goes out and the “Start” button flashes.
The door must then be opened and closed again and
the “Start” button must be pressed.
“TROUBLE” INDICATORS
“Pump”
Waste water is not pumped out. Check wether the
drain hose is kinked or the filter must be cleaned; in
the latter case refer to the Instructions for Use
(“Removing the Filter”).
“Water Tap”
The appliance has no or insufficient water supply.
Open the water tap; if the indication still lights up,
refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” in the
Instructions for Use.
PROGRAMME END
• The “End” indicator goes on.
1. Set the programme selector knob to the
“Off” position.
2. Turn off the tap.
3. Open the door and unload the machine.
RESELECT AFTER PROGRAMME START
A newly-selected programme will continue in the
same programme section during which the current
programme was interrupted. Therefore do not add
any more detergent.
1. Press the “Start” button to interrupt the
programme. The light flashes.
2. Select the new programme (with temperature),
any additional options and - if you wish - another
spin speed.
3. Press the “Start” button again to restart the
programme.
• If you are in the “Prewash” programme step, this
additional option cannot be deselected as
described (to do this see “Cancel (Reset) a
running programme before the end”).
CANCEL (RESET) A RUNNING
PROGRAMME BEFORE THE END
Press the “Reset” button for at least 2 seconds.
Any existing water is drained out before the door
can be opened.
