*Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with Standard IEC 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 booklet.

1.Turn the programme selector knob in any direction to the desired programme. The pilot lamp above the “Start/Pause” button is flashing.

2.The programme sequence indicator and the indicator with the maximum possible spin speed light up.

3.The temperature can be altered by pressing the “+” or “-” button under the corresponding LED display.

SELECT SPECIAL OPTIONS - The indicator lights go on.

“Prewash” button

• Only for heavily soiled laundry (for example sand or granular dirt). Programme duration is increased by some 15 min.

“Intensive Rinse” button

•An additional rinse cycle is carried out.

•This additional option is particularly suitable for areas with very soft water, for washing baby linen and helping 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 additional option is particularly recommended for the programme “Synthetics” or “Delicates”.

•This additional function is particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later time.

Note: the programme has reached the “Rinse Hold” when the “Rinse Hold” button 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/ Cancel” and press the “Start/Pause” 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 the spin speed “0” is selected, the final spin is cancelled. The water is drained out only.

PROGRAMME START

After you have selected the programme and the additional option, the indicator light over the “Start/Pause” button flashes. Turn on the tap and start the programme by pressing the “Start/Pause” 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 LOCK

In the first 15 minutes after the start of the “Cotton”, “Coloured Cotton” and “Synthetic” programmes the door can be opened to add further laundry. This is not possible if “Rapid Wash” is selected.

PROGRAMME END

• The “End” display lights up.

1.Turn 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/Pause” button to interrupt the programme. The indicator light flashes.

2.Select the new programme (with temperature), any additional options and - if you wish - another spin speed.

3.Press the “Start/Pause” button again to restart the programme.

•If you are in the “Prewash” programme step this additional option can not be deselected as described (to do this see “Interrupt/Cancel Programme).

CANCEL/DELETE PROGRAMME

1.Press the “Start/Pause” button to interrupt the programme. The indicator light flashes.

2.Set the programme selector to “Drain/ Cancel”. The spin speed “0” and the remaining time “2 minutes” are displayed.

3.Press the “Start/Pause” button to start the “Drain/Cancel” programme.
