The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards
and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is
however essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please
therefore follow the precautions given in these operating
instructions.
In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
1.1 Before using for the first time
• The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work
should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.
• Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
• Ensure access to the place of disconnection (e.g. socket outlet, wall switch,
mains fuse) and the water tap.
• The transport lock must be removed. Failure to remove the transport lock
can result in damage to the appliance or apartment or laundry room
fittings.
• Before using the newly installed appliance for the first time, please follow
the precautions given in the Using for the first time section.

1 Safety precautions
1.2 Correct use
• The appliance is suitable for washing home textiles with water and regular
washing machine detergent. The appliance is designed for use in the home
and for the above-mentioned purpose only. No liability is assumed for any
damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
• Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially
any electrically live parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer,
its Customer Services or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out
incorrectly may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings,
as well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not
working properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given
in the Repair service section. If necessary, please contact Customer
Services.
• Use original spare parts only.
• Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass
the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions accompany the appliance, together with the instructions on installation. In this way, the new owner can inform themselves about how to use
the appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.
Do not use the appliance to wash the following:
• Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or soaked with flammable
chemicals, detergents or solvents such as benzene, alcohol, stain remover,

Liquid detergent and a delayed start
If a delayed start has been selected, after loading the washing the liquid
detergent should be added to a dosing aid (e.g. ball). It is important that the
liquid detergent does not spill onto the washing during the delayed start
period, otherwise the washing could be damaged through a possible
chemical reaction.

Detergent dosage
Adding too much detergent could cause excess foaming, giving a
poor wash result and, in the worst case, causing damage to the
appliance.
The amount of detergent required depends on the degree of soiling as well
as the wash load, the hardness of the water and the product being used.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s dosing instructions.
The hardness of the water is measured using the French degree of water
hardness (°fH) and is subdivided into three categories:
•soft 0°fH to 15°fH
•medium 15°fH to 25°fH
• hard over 25 °fH (NB Use water softener to reduce amount of
washing detergent required.)
The local water authorities can provide information on the level of water
hardness in your area.

Fabric conditioner
Do not fill with fabric conditioner past the «MAX» mark.
Do not use fabric conditioner if drying the washing in a tumble dryer. Tumble
drying automatically leaves the washing soft and fluffy to the touch.
Soap detergent (Softener + soap detergent)
Select the additional «Soap wash» programme to wash with soap detergent.
Since soap binds with lime, soap detergent should only be used when the
water is soft or moderately hard (up to 25 °fH) and limescale protection is
added. Soap scum can otherwise form and build up in the laundry and the
appliance. Further, limescale build-up on the tub heating element can result
in damage to the appliance.
Dyeing textiles
Textiles can be dyed in the appliance using suitable dyeing agents. Please
follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions and warnings carefully.
Each wash programme starts with brief draining and for this reason
liquid dye components should be added after this.

The wash temperature selected should agree with the recommended temperature range of the washing detergent to ensure the washing detergent is at
its most effective.
General tips
• Wash white and coloured textiles separately.
• Empty pockets and turn inside out. Remove any foreign objects (coins,
nails, paper clips, etc.).
• Empty and brush out pockets of work overalls worn in the metal industry
(metal shavings can damage the washing and cause rust stains).
• Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases; close zips and hook and eye
fasteners; fasten cloth belts and apron ties.
• Wash smaller items (e.g. nylon tights, belts) and items with zips and hooks
in a washing net or cushion cover.
• Remove stains before washing using a suitable stain remover.
• Pre-treat heavily soiled areas (collars, cuffs, etc.) with soap, special
detergent or paste.
• For normal or heavily soiled washing, select the additional pre-wash
or the intensive programme.
• Wash woollens and other textiles with the fabric care label using the
main hand wash programme. Use detergent suitable for woollens and
delicates.

Net curtains
If washing curtains made from mixed or man-made fibres:
• Ask the retailer whether the curtains are machine washable and, if so, at
what water temperature.
• Fill the washing drum only a quarter full.
• Tie up metal rollers and plastic sliders using an open weave fabric.
• Use a mild detergent (use sparingly due to foaming).
• With older, faded curtains, the material is weaker and may be easily
damaged if machine washed.
