• Empty pockets, remove all foreign objects (coins, pens, paper clips). Put
small pieces of laundry (baby socks,
tights) in a laundry bag or similar.
• Handle curtains with extra care! Remove non-stainless runners and lead
tape not sewn in. Put runners which
can not be removed in a laundry bag
or similar.
• Close zippers, sew on loose buttons,
mend unstitched seams and tears.
• Wash only woollens marked "machine
wash" or "hand wash" – and only with
the appropriate wash programme.
• Wash new, coloured cottons separately – they could dye.
• Heavy stains should be treated appropriately before washing. If in doubt
check with a chemist or dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/discolouring and antiliming agents suitable for machine
wash. Observe the information given
on the packing!
The right amount
• The max. load depends on the laundry
type and the desired wash programme.
Please note the information given in
A
the "Programme Table"!
Overloading the drum adversely affects the washing result.
Always try to utilize the max. load.

While the programme is running the
3
door is locked; the indicator lamp
»Door locked« is on.
As soon as the »Door locked« indicator lamp goes out the door can be
opened.
• To open, push the door opener above
the door.
• Place the laundry loosely in the drum;
if required give extra detergent (in eco
bag or proportioning ball) in the
drum.
• Close the door; push against the door
until you hear the door lock engage.
Do not catch any laundry in the door
assembly!
Washing Detergents and Fabric Conditioners

Liquid detergents
When using liquid or gel-like detergents,
please note the following:
• Do not use liquid detergent if you
wish to use the delay-timer function.
• Use liquid detergent only for the
main-wash cycle, not for pre-wash.
Risk of stains when using liquid deter-
A
gent with the delay-timer function or
with pre-wash.
• Use the detergent maker’s proportioning cup and observe the information
given on the packing.
Choice of washing detergent
The type of detergent used depends on
the type of textile, colour, degree of soiling
and desired washing temperature.
• Use regular detergent for cottons (60
– 95 °C), otherwise use special detergent for coloured and delicate wash.
• Wash woollens only with a special detergent for woollens.
• Modular system washing detergents
allow for an individual addition of
bleaching agent and softener.
• Use only washing detergents suitable
for use in washing machines.
Detergent proportioning
The amount of detergent required depends on the laundry quantity, degree of
soiling and water hardness.
Check with your local water board for
3
the water hardness in your area.
Proportion the highly concentrated
A
compact detergents very accurately!
Too much washing detergent causes:
heavy foaming, poor wash and rinsing
results, high burden on water.
Too little washing detergent causes:
the laundry to look grey, lime deposits
in the appliance.
Fabric softener
Fabric softener is filled in the compartment III of the detergent dispensing drawer.
• Proportion as recommended on the
packing!
• Fill only up to the red max. mark.
• Dilute viscous fabric softeners with
water before filling in.
If you dry your laundry in a dryer or
3
outdoors, you do not need a fabric
softener.
Starch
• Fill liquid starch and finishing agent
same as fabric softener (see above) in
compartment III.
• Mix powdered starch as instructed on
the packing and fill in compartment II.
Never use fabric softener and starch

more information on the individual wash
programmes.
Special programmes
For specific applications you can select any
of the following special programmes:
• Rinse
This programme is also used for
starching.
• Spin–Drain
This programme spins at maximum
speed.
For delicate fabrics the speed should
A
be reduced!

and you want to pump out water (see
"Rinse & hold").
• Refreshing
Select this programme if you need to
wash small loads of cotton/blended
fabrics only briefly.
Main programmes
Depending on the type of textile, the following main programmes are available:
• Cottons
• Synthetics
• Delicates
• Woollens / Hand wash
Each of these main programmes comprises
a complete washing cycle – wash, rinse
and, where appropriate, spin.
Always adjust the programme to suit
A
the textile type, colour, degree of soiling and the permissible washing temperature.
Observe the care symbols shown on
the garment labels!
For each main programme different temperatures can be selected.
Select the temperature only as high as
3
absolutely necessary. A high temperature means high current consumption.

specific additional functions can be activated by pressing a button.
Prewash
Eco
Extra Rinse
Quick
Extra Rinse
This function includes an extra rinse cycle.
• Use this function only if you are sensitive to washing detergent residue.
The increased water consumption is a
burden on the environment – and
your purse.
• If the foam detection system detects
an overdose of washing detergent, an
extra rinse cycle is included automati-
cally.
Quick
With this button the wash time can be reduced.
• Use this function for small loads or less
soiled laundry.
Bio
& hold
Rinse
• Press the required buttons before
starting the programme.
• Any not meaningful combination of
buttons is blocked; attempting to select such combination will cause a
buzzer to sound.
Prewash
This button activates a pre-wash, which is
carried out at a temperature of 40 °C.
• A pre-wash is only worth while with
heavily soiled laundry.
Without pre-wash you save energy,
water, washing detergent – and time.
Eco
This function extents the wash time of the
main-wash cycle. The washing detergent
can work more effective, you can wash at
lower temperatures – and thus save up to
35% on energy.
• Normal soiled laundry that can be
boiled you can now wash at 60 °C instead of 95 °C, plus this button.
• Normal soiled synthetics you can wash
at 40 °C instead of 60 °C, plus this
button.
surfliss (Anti-crease)
If you press this button, the drum movement is reduced and the spin cycle limited,
to reduce creasing. In addition washing is
done at a higher water level.
• Therefore, use this function only for
delicate fabrics that crease easily.
The maximum load with this function is
A
– for Cottons: ......................... 3.0 kg
– for Synthetics: ...................... 1.5 kg
– for Delicates: ........................ 1.0 kg
Bio
If you activate this function, the laundry is
soaked for about an hour before the wash
cycle starts.
• Use this function if heavily soiled and
for stains such as protein, blood or cocoa.
Rinse & hold
If you press this button the programme
stops after the last rinse cycle. The laundry
remains in the water (to protect against
creasing).
• Once the rinsehold is reached, the indicator lamp begins to flash.
• Refer to "At a Glance" to find out what
to do at this point.

• Pump off all remaining water before
cleaning (see below).
Draining the suds pump
Drain all water…
• before cleaning the foreign matter
trap;
• prior to transporting the appliance
(e.g. when moving house);
• in the event of a power failure (as a
"temporary measure");
• when there is a danger of freezing.
At room temperatures below 0 °C the
A
remaining water in the appliance
could freeze, damaging it.
Important: Frost damage is not covered by the warranty.

the water run off. When the bowl is
full, turn the trap to close it. Empty
bowl and repeat as often as necessary.
With a fully loaded drum (e.g. at a
A
power failure) up to 20 litres of water
may need to be drained!
5. If there is no more water emerging remove the foreign matter trap.
6. Clean the foreign matter trap and suds
pump opening. Check to see if the
pump's impeller turns freely.
7. Replace the foreign matter trap and
tighten it (turn clockwise). Close runoff flap and service door.
4. Put inlet hose back on and tighten
"finger-tight".
5. Open the water tapfully and check all
