Operating Instructions
1 Safety
Prior to using for the first time
• Follow the ”Instructions for installation and con-
nection”.
• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months
when there are minus temperatures: Store the
washing machine at room temperature for
24 hours before using for the first time.
Correct use
• The washing machine is only designed for the
washing of normal domestic laundry at home.
• Additions or modifications to the washing machine
are not permitted.
• Use only detergents and additives that are suitable
for use in domestic washing machines.
• The washing must not contain any inflammable so-
lutions. Danger of explosion!
• Do not use the washing machine for dry cleaning.
• Dyes/colour removers may only be used in the
washing machine, if the manufacturer of these
products expressly permits this. We cannot be
held responsible for any damage arising.
Child safety
• Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk
of suffocation.
• Children often do not recognise the hazards asso-
ciated with electrical appliances. Don’t allow children to use the washing machine unsupervised.
• Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into
the drum of the washing machine. Could endanger
life!
General safety
• Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified service engineers.
• Never use the washing machine if the mains cable
is damaged; or if the control panel, work top or
plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the
appliance is freely accessible.
• Switch off the washing machine before cleaning,
maintenance and servicing. In addition, pull the
mains plug out of the socket or – in the case of a
permanent connection – switch off the cut-out in
the fuse box or remove the screw fuse completely.
• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance
from the mains supply and shut off the water tap.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.
• Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables
must not be used. This could constitute a fire
hazard through overheating.
• Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of electric shock!
• In washing programmes with high temperatures
the glass in the door gets hot. Do not touch it.
• Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the drain pump or opening the door
in an emergency, let the water cool down.
• Small animals can nibble at the cables and water
hoses. Danger of electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away from the
washing machine.

1) The numbers in the care symbols show the maximum temperatures.
Energy-saving programme at 60 °C for lightly to normally soiled whites/coloureds made of cotton/linen.
M O
Programme for normally to heavily soiled whites and coloureds made of cotton/linen.
J M O
Programme for whites and coloureds which are labelled for different wash temperatures. Items,
which according to the care symbols are normally to be washed separately at 40 °C or at 60 °C,
can be washed together in this programme. This makes better use of the drum capacity and thus
saves energy. Through an increased wash time the washing results of a normal 60° programme
are achieved.
