■ Information about the energy
consumption*: ~ Page 25
The display provides information
about the relative energy
consumption in the selected
programs.
The more indicator lights light up,
the higher the program's
consumption.
This enables you to compare the
consumption levels of the different
programs when choosing your
program settings and to decide on
an energy- and water-saving
program setting.

manufacturer's instructions.
■ Wash normally soiled laundry
without a prewash.
■ Save energy and detergent when
washing lightly and normally soiled
laundry. ~ Page 28
■ The selectable temperatures apply
to the care labels on the textiles. The
temperatures in the machine may
deviate from this so that you get the
optimum mix of energy-saving and
washing results.

(e.g. when draining hot water into a
washbasin).
Do not reach into the hot water.
Caution!
Water damage
If the drain hose slips out of the
washbasin or the connection point
during draining due to high water
pressure, any escaping water may
cause water damage.
Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
If the end of the drain hose is immersed
in the drained water, water may be
sucked back into the appliance and
may damage the appliance/fabrics.
Make sure that:
■ The plug does not block drainage
from the washbasin.
■ The end of the drain hose is not
immersed in the drained water.
■ The water drains away quickly
enough.
Connection
■ Drainage into a washbasin
■ Drainage into a siphon
The connection point must be
secured using a hose clamp with a
diameter of 24 - 40 mm (available
from specialist dealers).
■ Drainage into a plastic pipe with
rubber bushing or into a drainage
pit
Note: Do not kink the water drain hose
or put strain on it lengthways.

Levelling
Align the appliance using a spirit level.
Incorrect alignment may result in loud
noises, vibrations and machine
"movement".
1. Loosen the lock nuts using a WAF17
spanner, by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
2. Check the alignment of the washing
machine with a spirit level, and
adjust it if necessary. Change the
height by turning the appliance feet.
All four appliance feet must stand
firmly on the ground.
3. The lock nuts on all four appliance
feet must be screwed tightly against
the housing using a suitable WAF17
spanner. In doing so, hold the foot
tight and do not adjust its height.

:Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
■ Never touch or hold the mains plug
with wet hands.
■ Only pull out the mains cable by the
plug and never by the cable, as this
could damage it.
■ Never unplug the mains plug during
operation.
Observe the following information and
ensure that:
Notes
■ The mains voltage and voltage
indicated on the washing machine
(rating plate) are the same.
The connected load and fuse
required are specified on the rating
plate.
■ The washing machine is only
connected to an alternating current
supply via a properly installed
earthed socket.
■ The mains plug fits the socket.
■ The cable cross-section is adequate.
■ The earthing system is properly
installed.
■ The mains cable is only replaced by
a qualified electrician (if this is
necessary). Replacement mains
cables are available from customer
services.
■ No multiple plugs/couplings or
extension cables are used.
■ If an earth-leakage circuit breaker is
used, only a type which displays the
z symbol is used.
Only this symbol guarantees
compliance with the currently
applicable regulations.
■ The mains plug can be accessed at
all times. If this is not possible, in
order to comply with the relevant
safety regulations, a switch (2-pole
switch-off) must be built into the
permanent installation in accordance
with electrical installation regulations.
■ The mains cable is not kinked,
squashed, altered or cut through.
■ The mains cable does not come into
contact with heat sources.

Page 21
Before washing for the first time
The washing machine was thoroughly
tested before leaving the factory. To
remove any water that may be left over
from the test, run the first wash cycle
without any laundry.
Notes
■ The washing machine must be
correctly installed and connected.
(from ~ Page 13).
■ Never use a damaged machine.
Inform customer services.
1. Check the machine.
2. Remove the protective film from the
control panel.
3. Connect the mains plug.
4. Turn on the tap.
5. Close the door (do not load any
laundry).
6. Depending on the model, run the
Drum Clean 90 °C or
Cottons 90 °C program.
7. Open the detergent drawer.
8. Pour approximately 1 litre of water
into compartment II.
9. Pour standard detergent into
compartment II.
Note: To prevent foaming, only use
half the amount of detergent
recommended by the detergent
manufacturer. Do not use detergent
designed for wool or delicates.
10.Close the detergent drawer.
11.Press the A button.
12.When the program ends, switch off
the appliance.
Your washing machine is now ready to
use.

Transportation
E.g. when moving house
Preparatory work:
1. Turn off the tap.
2. Reduce the water pressure in the
supply hose: ~ Page 40; Cleaning
and maintenance – filter in the water

3. Disconnect the washing machine
from the mains.
4. Drain the remaining water:
~ Page 41; cleaning and
maintenance – the drain pump is

5. Remove the hoses.
Fitting the transportation securing means:
1. Remove the covers and keep them
in a safe place.
If required, use a screwdriver.
Before switching on the appliance
again:
Notes
■ The transport braces must be
removed.
■ Pour approx. 1 litre of water into
compartment II, select the
Drain/Empty programme and start.
This will prevent detergent from
flowing unused into the drain during
the next wash.
2. Insert all four sleeves.
Clip the mains cable securely in the
holders. Insert the transportation
securing bolts and tighten them with
a wrench (WAF 13).

Prepare the laundry
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paperclips,
needles, nails) may damage the laundry
or components in the washing machine.
You should therefore note the following
tips when preparing your laundry:
■ Empty any pockets.
■ Look out for metal items (paperclips,
etc.) and remove them.
■ Wash delicates in a laundry bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc.).
■ Close any zips; button up any cover
buttons.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
■ Remove curtain fittings or place
curtains in a laundry bag.
Some examples of soiling levels can
be found on ~ Page 28.
– Light: Do not prewash, select the
Speed setting if necessary
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry, select
a program with prewash
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains
while they are fresh. Firstly, dab
with soapy water; do not rub.Then
wash the items of laundry with
the appropriate program.
Stubborn or dried-in stains can
sometimes only be removed by
washing several times.
■ Symbols on the care labels
Note: The numbers in the symbols
indicate the maximum washing
temperature that may be used.
M Suitable for normal washing
process;
e.g. Cottons program
N A gentle washing process is
required;
e.g. Easy-Care program
O An especially gentle washing
process is required; e.g.

W Suitable for washing by hand;
e.g. W Wool program
Ž Do not machine wash.
Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:
■ Type of fabric/fibre
■ Colour
Note: Laundry can discolour or not
be cleaned correctly. Wash white
and coloured items separately.
Wash new coloured items separately
the first time you wash them.
■ Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
26

Starching
Note: Laundry should not be treated
with fabric softener.
Liquid starch can be used to stiffen
fabrics particularly in the Rinse and
Cottons programmes. Measure starch
into compartment M in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions (clean
first if necessary).
Dyeing/bleaching
Dye should only be used in normal
household quantities. Salt may damage
stainless steel. Always follow the dye
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not use the washing machine to
bleach clothes.

Placing laundry into the drum
:Warning
Danger of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with
cleaning agents that contain solvents,
e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent,
may cause an explosion after being
loaded into the washing machine.
Hand-rinse these items of laundry
thoroughly beforehand.
Notes
■ Mix items of laundry of varying
sizes.Laundry items of different sizes
distribute themselves better during
the spin cycle.Individual laundry
items may cause an unbalanced
load.
■ Observe the maximum specified
load. Overfilling adversely affects the
washing result and promotes
creasing.
1. Unfold presorted laundry items and
place them in the drum.
2. Make sure that no items of laundry
are trapped between the door and
the rubber seal, and close the door.
