that was purchased from an
authorised specialist retailer.

■ Do not kink or squash the water

supply hose.

■ Do not alter (shorten, cut through)

the water supply hose (otherwise its
strength is no longer guaranteed).

■ Only tighten the screw connections

by hand. If the screw connections
are tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may become
damaged.

■ When connecting to a 21 mm = ½"

tap, first fit an adapter* with a sealing
washer from 21 mm = ½" to

26.4 mm = ¾".

At least 100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum 1000 kPa (10 bar)

When the tap is open, the water flow
rate is at least 8 l/min.

If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.

Connection

Connect the water supply hose to the
tap (26.4 mm = ¾") and to the
appliance (not necessary for Aqua-Stop

:Warning

Risk of scalding!

When you are washing at high
temperatures, there is a risk of scalding
if you come into contact with hot water
(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.

Overview of programmes en

ActiveOxygen Refresh Ø

ActiveOxygen Refresh Ø is an

innovative programme that is designed
to refresh laundry and remove odours
(e.g. the smell of cigarettes and kitchen
odours). Sweaty fabrics must be
washed.

In this programme, your laundry is
treated with active oxygen and water
mist; detergent is not added.

Active oxygen is a special type of
oxygen which effectively reduces
odours.

The programme is suitable for all types
of material and fabric, even for those
which should only be professionally
cleaned.

Once the programme has started, the
drum inside the appliance lights up and
the mist that is created can be seen.

Once the programme has finished, take
the laundry out of the drum and shake it
out briefly.

Notes

■ Leave the door and detergent

drawer open slightly when the
appliance is not in use. ~ Page 45

■ The active oxygen treatment is less

effective if the drum is dirty. Run the
Drum Clean Û programme
regularly.

■ It is not possible to add laundry once

the programme has started.

■ If you cancel the programme or

switch to a different one, the door
will remain locked until there is no
longer any active oxygen in the
drum. This make take up to
25 minutes. The two symbols ÿ and
Ø will flash during this time. The
door will then unlock automatically.

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.

Soaking

1. Switch on the appliance.

2. Select the i Cottons 30 °C

programme.

3. Pour soaking agent/detergent into

compartment II in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Press the A button. The

programme starts.

5. After approx. 10 minutes, press the

A button to pause the programme.

6. Leave the laundry to soak for as long

as required, then either press the A
button again to continue the
programme or change the
programme.

Notes

■ Load laundry of the same colour.

■ No additional detergent is required;

the soaking solution is used for
washing.

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.

Note: If you have activated the

childproof lock, you must deactivate it
