Protection of the environment/Conservation tips

– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of

laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a pre-wash.
– Instead of Cottons

90 °C, choose the programme

cleaning result was significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's

instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select spin speed

according to instructions of dryer manufacturer.

from the housing.
Remove the sealing cap, allow the detergent solution to flow out into the container. Replace
the sealing cap and place the drainage hose in the retainer.

3* For models without a drainage hose: Carefully unscrew the pump cover 180° or until the

detergent solution begins to flow out on the folding gutter. When the container is full, close
the pump cover and empty the container. Repeat the above steps until all the detergent
solution has completely drained out.

4. Carefully unscrew the pump cover (there may be residual water).

5. Clean the interior, pump cover thread and pump housing (the impeller in the detergent

solution pump must rotate).

6. Replace the pump cover and screw it tightly.

7. Return the drainage hose (depending on model) and the folding gutter to their start position.

8. Place the service flap back on and close.

To prevent unused detergent from flowing straight into the drain during the next wash:
Pour 2 litres of water into compartment II and then start the Drain programme.

Drainage hose at the siphon

Turn the programme selector to On/off and disconnect the mains plug.

1. Loosen the hose clamp, carefully remove the drainage hose (residual water).

2. Clean the drainage hose and siphon connecting piece.

3. Reattach the drainage hose and secure the connection with the hose clamp.

Risk of electric shock!

Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety device in water (contains an electric valve).

Reduce the water pressure in the supply hose:

1. Turn off the tap.

2. Select any programme (except RInse/Spin // Drain).

3. Choose start/pause + reload. Let the programme run for approximately 40 seconds.

4. Turn the programme selector to On/off. Disconnect the mains plug.

Clean the filter:

5. Disconnect the hose from the tap.

Protection of the environment/Conservation tips

– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of

laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a pre-wash.
– Instead of Cottons

90 °C, choose the programme

Cottons 60 °C with the additional function eco. Comparable

cleaning result was significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's

instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select spin speed

according to instructions of dryer manufacturer.
