IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death
when using your washing
machine, follow basic
precautions, including the
following:
1. SIEMENS washers are provided
with an Operating, Care and
Installation Instructions Manual.
Read and understand all
instructions before using the
washing machine.
2. Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned,
washed, soaked, or spotted
with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, other flammable or
explosive substances as they
give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
3. Do not add gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive
substances to the wash water.
These substances give off
vapors that could ignite or
explode.
4. Under certain conditions
hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for
2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot
water system has not been
used for this length of time, turn
on all hot water faucets and let
the water flow out of each
faucet for several minutes
before using the washing
machine. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas.
As the gas is flammable,

Loading the laundry
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Items of clothing that have
been pretreated with
solvent-based cleaning
agents, e.g. stain remover and
dry cleaning solvents,
represent an explosion hazard
once loaded into the washing
machine. Therefore, these
items must first be rinsed
thoroughly by hand.
Loose debris in the washing
machine drum can damage
the laundry. Before loading
the laundry, check that there
is no debris in the drum.
D Do not exceed the maximum
load. Overloading will cause
poor wash results and
encourage creasing.
For best results it is recommended
to load the drum depending on the
fabric type, see special programs
Page 20 for information on bulky
items, e.g. comforters.

Laundry
Detergents
and Additives
Dispensing the correct
amount of detergent
TO AVOID RISK OF POISONING!
Keep detergents and additives
out of the reach of children.
Measure out the detergent (powder
or liquid) according to:
The water hardness. This
information can be obtained
from your local water authority.
The amount of laundry.
The degree of soiling.
Information on soiling can
be found on Page 18.
The specifications of the
detergent manufacturer.
Measuring the correct amount
of detergent relieves the strain
on the environment and
ensures optimum washing
results.
Open the door.
_3 Unfold the sorted items of
clothing and place them loosely
into the drum. Mix up large and
small items. Items of varying
size will distribute better during
the spin cycle.
18
Too little detergent:
The laundry is not cleaned properly
and will eventually become gray
and stiff. Grayish brown spots (fat
globules) may appear on the
laundry. The heater may calcify.
Too much detergent:
Not environmentally friendly,
excessive suds reduce wash
agitation producing poor washing
and rinsing results or may prevent
proper spinning.
Filling laundry deter-
gent and/or additives
_3
Open the flap of the detergent
dispenser.
E3 Add the detergent and/or
additive.
Dispenser I'
Dispenser for detergent, stain
remover.
D We recommend HE
detergents becasue they are
particularly designed to
deliver optimum
performance from your
front-loading washer. Not
using HE detergent could
cause problems such as
oversudsing, extended cycle
periods, or a decrease in
wash performance.
Dispenser I1:
Cleaning additives, e.g. fabric
softener, fabric conditioner. Do not
fill over edge of max line!
Dispenser II1:
Dispenser for liquid bleach (chlorine
bleach, color safe bleach).
Do not overfill!
%
Concentrated or thick fabric
softener, conditioner and
powder-bleach must be diluted
with a little water before being
poured into the dispenser
(prevents overflow due to
obstruction).
%
Bleach may cause
discoloration of the washer's
colored surface. Therefore, it is
important to keep the bleach
away from the colored surface
of your washer. If any bleach
spills on the surface, use a
moist paper towel to thoroughly
clean it immediately.
E3
Close the flap of the detergent
dispenser.
Decolorizing
Dyes may contain sulphur or
chlorine. These substances may
cause parts of the washing
machine to corrode. Do not dye
items of laundry in the washing
machine.

Special features
Auto Load adjust
"Auto Load adjust" adjusts the
water and energy consumption for
each program and determines the
amount of laundry and type of
fabrics.
This process is built into your ma-
chine and occurs automatically.
This control reduces water and
energy consumption when washing
small loads.
A flow sensor measures the water
flow rate and meters the exact
volume of water required for the
load.
This sensor ensures the water level
is correct for washing your laundry
- from our economical "regular/
cotton" and "permanent press"
programs to the "delicates", "hand
wash", "woolCare", "active wear"
and "sanitary" cycles.
Displayed Time
Due to these and other
characteristics of the controls the
actual cycle time will vary.
When a program has been
selected, the expected cycle time is
displayed.
The following will effect the
displayed time:
- Load size
- Repeated spin attemptsto
evenly distributed load
- Additional rinse cycles if
excessive foam occurs
- Water pressure is too low
- Selection of additional options,
e.g. "extra rinse"
%
You may notice these effects
(more or less time) changing
the displayed time when they
occur in the cycle, tf no options
are selected and these effects
do not occur, the time
indicated will be time that the
cycle will finish.
Unbalanced load detection
system
The automatic unbalanced load
detection system spins the laundry
several times to ensure even
distribution.
If the wash load is unevenly
distributed, it will not spin (for safety
reasons) or the final spin speed is
reduced.
In the woolCare program the
appliance will attempt to start the
spin cycle only twice in order to
prevent shrinking.
