ADD DETERGENTS, CLOSE THE DOOR AND SELECT THE PROGRAMME

Add detergents as indicated on the front page and as described in the chapter “Detergent and Additives”in your Instructions for Use. Close the door and turn the programme selector to the desired programme and temperature. The indication lamp next to the “Start/ Pause” button flashes.

SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION

Push the button(s) of any option(s) desired - the respective indication lamp lights up.

When the combination of programme and additional option(s) is not possible, the indication lights switch off automatically. Unsuitable combinations of options are deselected automatically.

“Prewash” button

•Only for heavily soiled loads (for example sand, granular dirt) sensible. Increases the cycle time by approximately 15 min.

•Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash when activating the Prewash option.

“Intensive rinse” button

•More water is added and rinse cycle is prologned.

•This option is particularly suitable for areas with very soft water, washing baby linen and helps people with allergies.

“Rinse hold” button

•The laundry remains in the last rinse water without progressing to the final spin cycle to avoid creasing and prevent colours from changing.

•This option is particularly recommended for the programmes “Synthetics”, “Daily load” and “Delicates”.

•This function is particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later time, or if you want to drain only.

Note: The programme stops to “Rinse hold” at the time the “Rinse hold” light in the programme sequence indicator is on. The indication lamp next to the “Start/Pause” button flashes.

•If you select “Rinse Hold” do not leave items to soak for too long.

Terminate the “Rinse hold” option:

•Press the “Start/Pause” button; the programme will terminate automatically with the final spin cycle for the present wash programme.

•If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn the programme selector knob to the “Drain” programme and press the “Start/Pause” button.

“Variable spin” button

•Every programme has a predefined spin speed.

•Press the button to set another spin speed.

•If spin speed “0” is selected, the final spinning is cancelled but intermediate spin peaks remain during the rinse. The water is drained out only.
