Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions, in compliance with IEC/EN 60456. In the home, they may vary depending on the individual water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash. The consumption data indicated are based on an inlet water temperature of approx. 15°C through the cold fill valve as well as the hot fill valve (if available). If your washing machine has a hot fill valve, connection of this valve to hot water supply will lower the energy consumption by reduced heating times, depending on the individual hot fill inlet water temperature. Water and energy consumptions refer to the default setting of the programmes, with temperature and load as indicated in the table; selecting any options or changing the spin speed will also change the consumption data.

* Reference programmes for Energy Label. ** To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle before the water is drained. *** Automatic adaptation of programme duration after detection of wash load.

The programme duration may differ from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that time (see also “Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).

Temperature

(°C)

LOAD LAUNDRY, CLOSE DOOR AND SELECT PROGRAMME

Load the laundry, close the door and turn the programme selector to the desired programme; the “Start/Pause” indicator blinks. The temperature and spin speed shown on the display can be altered by pressing the “Temperature” button or the “Spin” button . If you do not use the “Dosing Aid” , add detergent now.

SELECT OPTIONS IF DESIRED

If the combination programme/option or option/option is not possible, the indicator switches off automatically. For certain programmes, an option may already be preset; if you want you can deselect it.

“15° Green & Clean” button

• Enables ecological washing by saving energy used for waterheating, while maintaining a good wash result.

• Bright colours live longer with this option; this was tested and approved by the German “wfk” laundry research institute.

• Recommendable for lightly soiled laundry without stains.

• Make sure that your detergent is suitable for cold wash temperatures (15 or 20°C).

• Not selectable for Cotton 70 - 95°C.

“Rapid” button

• Enables quicker washing by shortening the programme duration.

• Recommendable for only lightly soiled laundry.

• Not selectable for Cotton 70 - 95°C.

“Prewash” button

= lightly soiled - = normally soiled - = heavily soiled

Not all soil levels are selectable for each programme.

“Spin” button (incl. “Rinse Hold” )

• Press the button to change the predefined spin speed.

• If you select spin speed “0”, the final spinning is cancelled and the water is drained out only. However, intermediate spin phases remain during the rinse.

• If you select “Rinse hold” , the laundry remains in the last rinse water without progressing to the final spin cycle, to avoid creasing and prevent colours from changing. To activate the “Rinse hold”, press the “Spin” button repeatedly until the “Rinse hold” symbol on the display lights up.

- The wash programme stops to “Rinse hold” when the

“Rinse hold” symbol on the display blinks; the “Start/ Pause” indicator blinks as well.

- To terminate the “Rinse hold” by spinning the laundry, press

“Start/Pause” - the laundry will be spun with the default spin speed. You can also select another spin speed with the "Spin" button before you start the spin cycle with “Start/Pause”.

- To terminate the “Rinse hold” by draining the water

without spinning, press the “Spin” button until spin speed “0” appears on the display; then press “Start/Pause” to start the draining.

- Do not leave the laundry to soak for too long in the “Rinse

hold” (especially silk!).

SET CYCLE END (“FINISH IN”)

With this function you can postpone your programme to complete at a later time: press the button to select in how many hours the programme shall be finished. Thus, it allows you to have your laundry ready at a particular time and to profit from more favourable energy rates during the night, for example.

• Do not use liquid detergent when activating this function.

• The time until the cycle end can be selected in full hour time segments (1 to 24 h). When you press the button, the shortest possible time will be displayed; keep on pressing the button to loop through all the available times. To remove it again, keep on pressing the button until you see the value “0:00”.

• When you have selected the desired time until the cycle end, press “Start/Pause” - the countdown will begin.

• During the countdown, you can still modify the programme setting (select or deselect options, change spin speed etc.). If the modifications prolong the programme duration so that it overruns the originally set time until the cycle end, the programme will start immediately.

• Sometimes the programme may finish before the selected time until the cycle end has expired (e.g. for small loads). In this case, the washing machine will tumble the laundry regularly to keep it fresh, until the selected “Finish in” time has expired. During tumbling, the display will show an animation. The tumbling phase can be stopped at any time either by pressing any button or by rotating the programme selector; the animation will stop and the door will unlock in about 1 minute as indicated on the display.

DETERGENT DOSING RECOMMENDATION

With the “Dosing Aid” button, you can make your washing machine indicate you the recommended detergent quantity for your wash load, depending on the soil level selected and the size of the load.

• Helps to save detergent and protect the environment and also sensitive skin by avoiding detergent overdosing.

• Before you use this function, you must adapt the washing machine to the dosing amounts which are recommended for the detergents you use. Also check if your region’s water hardness corresponds with the water hardness level “soft” of your washing machine - if not adapt it.

• Select programme, options and cycle end BEFORE using the “Dosing Aid” button.

For any details, refer to the separate “Dosing Aid” Instructions for Use.

“DOOR OPEN” INDICATOR

Before starting and after end of a programme, the indicator lights to show that the door can be opened. As long as a wash programme is running, the door remains locked and must on no account be forced open. In case you have an urgent need to open it during a running programme, refer to “Reset a running programme before the end”.

ECO MONITOR

The “Eco monitor” gives you a rough feedback about the power consumption of the programme setting you selected. As soon as you turn the programme selector to any programme, the “Eco monitor” is on.

less more

The indicator on the left is to show that the “Eco monitor” is active. The four indicators next to it show the degree of consumption: the less power your programme setting is forecasted to consume, the less indicators will light up. This depends on the programme, temperature and options selected, and also on the size of the wash load. For that reason, the forecasted degree of power consumption may adapt when the washing machine detects the wash load.

PROGRAMME START

Open the tap and press the “Start/Pause” button . The “Start/Pause” indicator lights up. When the laundry load is

detected or the programme duration is adapted, the display shows an animation.

CHILD LOCK

Prevents children from starting a wash cycle or changing the settings of a running programme. Cannot be activated or deactivated when the programme selector is in the “Off/O” position. To activate the child lock:

• Turn the programme selector to a programme position, or run a programme as usual.

• Press the 2 buttons marked with the key symbol simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. A key-like symbol will shortly appear on the display to indicate that the child lock is active.

Any time you try to change a programme setting with active child lock, the display will briefly show the key-like symbol. The programme setting cannot be changed anymore. The only change possible is to switch the washer off by turning the programme selector to the “Off/O” position. To deactivate the child lock, proceed in the same way as for activating it.

FAILURE INDICATORS

If one of the failure indicators lights up, or in case of any malfunction, consult the “Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use.

Spin speed on display blinks: Unbalance during spinning.

CHANGE PROGRAMME AND/OR OPTIONS AFTER PROGRAMME START

1. Press the “Start/Pause” button to pause the

programme. The indicator blinks.

2. Select the new programme, temperature, any options and

another spin speed if you want.
