** 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 remaining time display shows the duration
of the chosen programme (in hours and
minutes) and 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 only drained out.
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.

In the first 15 minutes after the start of the “Cotton”
and “Synthetics” programmes the door can be

position.

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
