Compartment I : Detergent for prewash.
Compartment II : Detergent for main wash.
Compartment i : Liquid additives such as starch and fabric softener.
Additives are automatically flushed into the machine during the last wash
cycle.
– Do not exceed the maximum capacity, otherwise compartment i may
be emptied too early.

Programmes
(*Depending on model)
Programme selector
Washing programmes
The programme selector is used to set the washing and drying programmes.
Resistentes/ Algod. (Cottons)
Suitable for hard-wearing fabrics, heat-resistant fabrics made from cotton
or linen.
– Coloureds up to 60 °C.
– Whites 60 °C up to 90 °C.
Resistentes/ Algod. (Cottons) 60°C Intensivo (Intensive)
Energy-saving programme. Because of the extended washing time which
also consumes considerably less energy, a level of cleaning comparable
to the 90°C programme is achieved.
Resistentes/ Algod. (Cottons)+ Prelav. (Prewash)
for heavily soiled laundry with additional prewash.
Sintéticos (easy-care) (cold*, 40°C, 60°C)
Washing programme for less robust fabrics made of cotton, linen,
synthetic fibre or blended fabrics. Sorting by colour is recommended.
Special programmes
Delicados (Delicates) frio (cold*)
Low heat programme for delicate, washable fabrics, e.g. made of silk,
satin, synthetic fibre or blended fabrics (e.g. curtains). Gentle spinning
between wash cycles and reduced final spin speed.
Lana/La (Wool) (cold*, 30°C)
Wool becomes matted under the influence of heat, moisture and movement. The woollens programme takes account of these properties and
finds the optimum way between drum standstill and movement.
Suitable for hand- or machine-washable fabrics made from wool or a wool
blend.
O / C (Rinse + Spin)
Wash cycle followed by spinning. Fabric softener or starch can also be
used in this programme.
C (Spin)
Separate spin cycle; Detergent solution or water used for rinsing are
emptied before the spin cycle starts.
[ (Empty)
Emptying of the water used for rinsing without final spin cycle after
selecting a washing programme with the setting

supplied.
Insert the protective
covers.
– Appliance stability is essential to ensure that the washing machine
does not “creep” during spin cycles.
– The installation area must be firm, clean and level.
– Parquet floors and soft floor coverings, e.g. carpets or foam-backed
floor coverings, are unsuitable.
Intense noise, vibrations and “wandering” may be the result of incorrect
levelling.
– All four appliance feet must stand firmly on the ground.
– The washing machine must not rock.
– Check the alignment of the washing machine with a spirit level and
adjust if necessary.
– The washing machine must not rest against the side panels of the
installation recess.
– The lock nuts on the front feet of the appliance must be screwed firmly
against the housing with the spanner.
Completely remove all transport locks and
take the mains cable out of the retainers.
– Before using the appliance for the first
time, ensure that all transport locks have
been removed and kept safe for any
subsequent transport.
– For transporting at a later stage: You must
make sure that the transport locks are
refitted, which will prevent the washing
machine from being damaged.

Water inlet
Drainage into a siphon
Water outlet
Do not allow the water inlet hose to be:
– Kinked or squashed, modified and cut (strength no longer guaranteed).
Note the water pressure in the mains supply:
– The water pressure should be between 50-900 kPa (0.5-9 bar) (at least
8 litres of water per minute flow when the tap is open).
– If the water pressure is higher, a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
Connect the inlet hose to the ¾" cold water tap.
Tighten the screw connections only by hand. Do not remove the filter from
the inlet hose.
After connecting the water inlet hose:
– Open the water tap carefully, checking the leak tightness of the connec-
tion points.
– N.B.: The screw connection is under mains water pressure.
– Do not kink the outlet hose or pull it lengthways.
– Height difference between the installation surface and the drain:
max. 90 cm, min. 50 cm.
Electrical connection
Secure the connection point with the 24-40 mm hose clamp.
The washing machine must only be connected to an alternating current
via a properly installed earthed socket.
Only use earth-leakage circuit breakers with the following symbol:
The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage specifications on the
washing machine (rating plate).
The connected load and fuse required are specified on the rating plate.
Make sure that:
– the mains plug fits the socket.
– the cable cross-section is adequate.
– the earthing system is properly installed.
– the appliance is not standing on the mains cable,
– the mains plug is accessible at all times.
Changes to the mains cable may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
Do not use multiple plugs/adapters or extension cables.
Mains plug:
– Do not insert the plug into the socket or pull it out if your hands are wet.
– When removing the plug from the socket, pull on the plug body only,
not the cable.
– Never pull the plug out during operation.
