before the washing cycle starts with the
19c button. This gives better washing results for badly soiled clothes.
Easy iron
If you press the button 19d, the drum
movement is reduced and spinning is limited to reduce creasing. In addition, the
washing is done at a higher water level.
• Use this button for delicate fabrics that
easily crease.

Draining remaining water
Drain off the water completely…
• before cleaning the foreign matter
trap;
• before transportingthe machine (e.g.
when shifting house);
• when there is a power failure ("emergency draining");
• when there is a danger of frost.
At room temperatures below 0 °C the
A
remaining water in the appliance

3. Turn the foreign object trap 1/2 turn
to loosen it (anti-clockwise) and soak
up the remaining water with a cloth.
Once no more water is coming out,
turn the foreign object trap until it is
completely free and remove it.
4. Clean foreign object trap and the
pump opening. Check if the pump impeller (in the pump opening) can be
turned freely.
5. Replace the cap on the drain hose and
put it away.

nosed pliers, clean with a small soft
brush and fit back.
4. Pull out the strainer in the back wall
(except in case of Aquasafe+) with universal or needle nosed pliers, clean
with a small soft brush and fit back.
5. Put inlet hose back on and tighten
"fingertight".
6. Turn the water tap on full and check
for leaks at the connections.
