Safety precautions
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology stand
ards and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the
appliance is however essential to avoid damage and acci
dents. Please therefore follow the precautions given in these
operating instructions.
In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:
䡲 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.
Before using for the first time
䡲 The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in accord-
ance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.
䡲 Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
䡲 Ensure access to the place of disconnection (e.g. the socket outlet, wall switch,
mains fuse as well as the water tap).
䡲 The transport lock must be removed. Failure to remove the transport lock can result
in damage to the appliance or apartment/laundry room fittings.
䡲 It is advisable to run an empty wash cycle to remove any residues from the manu-
facturing process.
A Add ½ cup of washing detergent and select the « Coloureds» programme.
60
The appliance was tested with water before being shipped. There may therefore still be traces of water left in the appliance.
5
… Safety precautions
Correct use
䡲 The appliance is suitable for washing home textiles with water and regular wash-
ing 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.
䡲 Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any elec-
trically 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.
䡲 Use original spare parts only.
䡲 Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the appli-
ance 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:
䡲 Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or soaked with flammable chemicals, de-
tergents or solvents such as benzene, alcohol, stain remover, oil, paint, wax, etc.
Fire or explosion hazard!
Wash materials containing such substances first by hand with water or allow the
solvent to evaporate completely.
䡲 Textiles with metal reinforcements (risk of damage).
䡲 Trainers, diving suits, rucksacks, large sleeping bags and duvets, carpets, etc.
6
… Safety precautions
Children in the home
䡲 Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Dan-
ger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.
䡲 The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these operating
instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger of electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could get locked inside.
䡲 Washing detergent can irritate the eyes, mouth and throat and even cause chok-
ing! Keep washing detergent out of the reach of children.
䡲 Use the childproof locking facility.
Note on use
Do not use the pivoting operating panel to lift or move the
appliance.
䡲 If the drain hose leads into a sink (wash trough), check that it is fastened securely.
Make sure that the water can drain off fast enough. Flooding hazard!
䡲 From time to time, check the drain hose for tears, kinks, twists, bends, etc.
䡲 Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or if the inlet pipes are damaged.
Contact Customer Services.
䡲 If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity supply
immediately.
䡲 Keep animals away from the appliance.
䡲 To protect your washing, follow the fabric care symbols and the hints and advice
in the 'Washing tips' section.
䡲 Do not use solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzene) instead of, or in addition to, water,
washing detergent or additives in your appliance. Fire or explosion hazard!
7
… Safety precautions
䡲 Only use water softener, dye/bleach or other additives expressly recommended
by the manufacturer for use in the appliance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully.
䡲 Store washing detergents, washing additives and other additives in a cool, dry
place. Lumpy washing detergent can cause problems. Keep all washing detergents and additives out of the reach of children.
䡲 Before closing the appliance door and starting a programme, ensure that there are
no foreign objects or pets in the washing drum, detergent dispenser drawer or
around the foreign body trap. Foreign objects such as coins, nails, paper clips,
etc. can damage parts of the appliance as well as the washing.
䡲 After you have finished washing, always turn off the water tap before switching off
the electricity by turning off the wall switch or pulling out the mains plug. Never
pull the mains plug out by the cable.
Maintenance
Ensure the washing drum has stopped moving before reach
ing inside. Do not touch the drum while it is still in motion –
risk of serious injury!
䡲 Disconnect the appliance from the mains before carrying out maintenance work.
䡲 Do not spray the outside of the appliance with water. Do not use a steam cleaner.
䡲 Do not sit, lean or rest on the appliance door.
䡲 Do not climb on to the appliance. Danger of tipping!

Steam anticrease
Selecting the steam anti-crease function – together with a main programme – adapts
the wash programme so that creasing at the end of the programme is minimized.
Steam finishing occurs at the end of the wash programme. The washing is loosened
up and steamed at the same time. After steam finishing, the washing is warm and
should be immediately hung up to dry – for easy ironing – or tumble dried.
To avoid renewed creasing at the end of the programme, after steam finishing the
washing is loosened up for an extended period. The washing can be unloaded at any
time by pressing the button.
With steam anti-crease, the water consumption increases slightly and the programme
takes somewhat longer. Use steam anti-crease for crease-sensitive items such as shirts
and blouses.

shut-off periods, which are determined by the local electricity supplier, the delayed start
time is extended by the length of time the electricity was shut off. This is not shown
in the display however.
The washing temperature can be changed in 10 °C or 15 °C steps, allowing slightly
soiled (not stained) textiles to be washed with a saving in energy.
Temperature
The washing temperature of the programme can be increased to 40 °C.
The washing temperature of the programme can be increased to 30 °C.
The spin speed can be changed in steps of 200 revolutions per minute (1200, 1000,

If using a delayed start, a dosing aid (e.g. ball) should be put in with the washing
when loading the appliance. Make sure that the liquid detergent does not spill onto
the washing during the delayed start period.

… Washing
Detergent dosage
Adding too much detergent could cause excess foaming, giv
ing a poor wash result and, in the worse case, causing dam
age 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:
䡲 soft 0 °fH to 15 °fH
䡲 medium 15 °fH to 25 °fH
䡲 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.

Unbalanced load detection system
When spinning, if the control system recognises that the load is out of balance, it will
interrupt the spinning action once or more. This helps distribute the load more evenly
inside the washing drum. If this is not successful, the spin speed is reduced. The washing is spun less intensively and is therefore wetter to the touch.
66
… Technical data
Water and energy economy
During the first few minutes of a programme running, sensors automatically determine
the type and the size of the load being washed.
Water levels are then optimally adjusted to the wash load so that only the strict amount
of water needed is used.
Turbidity sensor
In addition to the water and energy economy feature, the amount of water needed is
optimized by a turbidity sensor.
With the help of the turbidity sensor, the control system detects the degree of dirtiness
of the soapy water at any time in the cycle and from this determines the amount of
water needed for the rest of the cycle.
For example, if only a low degree of dirtiness is detected during the first rinsing cycle,
then the amount of water used for rinsing during the second rinsing cycle is reduced.
Weight sensory analysis
The control system detects the weight of the washing as it is being loaded via the builtin sensors. The data is then used to provide useful tips on how to load the appliance
optimally. Based on the weight of the wash load, a recommended optimum washing
detergent dosage is also indicated.
The data obtained from the weight sensors is shown in the InfoScreen under «Load».
