Care

labels

—

Normally soiled bed linen, table linen and underwear, towels, shirts etc. made of cotton and linen. At a temperature of 95°C, this programme eliminates bacteria, ensuring sanitization of your laundry.

Lightly to normally soiled bed linen, table linen, shirts, trousers etc. made of cotton and linen.

Lightly to normally soiled blouses, shirts etc. made of polyester (Diolen, Trevira), polyamide (Perlon, Nylon) or blends with cotton.

Programme for lightly to normally soiled fabrics made of cotton and/or synthetic fibres.

Lightly soiled overalls and sports wear made of cotton, polyester, polyamide and blends with cotton.

Blankets made of synthetic fibres, bedcovers filled with polyester or other artificial fibres, sleeping bags, bathmats and similar items.

Curtains and delicate dresses, skirts, shirts and blouses.

Only woollens, labelled with the Woolmark and identified as machine washable. This programme (40°C) is tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for machine washable wool.

Textiles made of silk, linen, wool and viscose marked as “handwashable”.

A very gentle spin is used in this programme.

Normally to heavily soiled and robust bed linen, table linen and underwear, towels, shirts etc. made of cotton and/or linen.

Economical energy consumption by prolonged wash duration. Ideal to be run overnight to additionally profit from the more favourable energy rates. To avoid noise of spinning at night, select “Rinse hold” option and start spinning in the morning, or define programme start with “Start delay” accordingly.

In this programme spinning is gentle. Same as the spin cycle in the “Wool” programme.

Same as the last rinse and the final spin in the “Coloured” programme.

Use this programme to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load.

Delicate fabrics, handwashables and woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress.

Prewash cycle increases programme duration by approximately 15 min. Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with Standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the home may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash. Water and energy consumption refer to the default setting of the programmes, with the temperatures indicated in the table; changing the options or modifiers setting will also change the consumption data.

The remaining time indicator can deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the operating conditions at that time (see also “Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).

* Reference programmes for Energy Label. ** Automatic adaptation of programme duration after detection of wash load.

ADD DETERGENT, CLOSE THE DOOR AND SELECT THE PROGRAMME

Add the detergent as described in the programme table or in the chapter “Detergent and Additives” in your Instructions for Use.

1. Press “On/Off” to switch on the washer. The light of the selected programme is on, and the “Start (Pause)” button

blinks.

2. Turn the programme selector to the desired programme it is marked by a light.

3. The predefined temperature and spin speed can be altered by pressing the “Temperature” and the “Spin speed”

modifier.

SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION OR MODIFIER

Selecting any option or modifier, the indication lights up. If the combination of programme, options or modifiers is not possible, the indication lights switch off automatically and a signal sounds. “Rapid” button

• Enables quicker washing by shortening the programme

duration.

• Recommendable for lightly soiled laundry.

“Easy ironing” button

• Reduces creasing by increased water quantity and a very gentle

spin.

“Rinse hold” button

• The laundry remains in the last rinse water without being spun:

this prevents creasing and colours from changing.

• Particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning to a later

time, or if you want to drain only.

• Do not leave the laundry to soak in the rinse hold for too long.

• Use only for heavily soiled loads (e.g. sand, granular dirt).

• Increases the cycle time by approx. 15 minutes.

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

Clean +

➡

• Choose this option if you use an in-wash additive for stain removal (powder, for example “Vanish”) - it will optimize the additive’s efficiency to get better wash performance and stain removal.

• Use with maximum load.

• Add an appropriate amount of in-wash additive for stain removal (powder) to the main wash chamber, together with your detergent (only use powder detergent with this option). Respect the manufacturer’s dosing instructions.

• May prolong the programme by up to 15 minutes.

• Appropriate for use of stain removers and bleaches on oxygen basis. Chlorine or perborate bleaches must not be used!

Normal

➡

“Soil level” modifier

• Adapts the programme duration to the soil level of your laundry.

The “Start delay” allows to run the machine at the consumer’s convenience, for example at night when electricity is cheaper.

• Select programme, temperature and options/modifiers as desired.

• Press the “Start delay ” button to select the delay time by 1 to 24 hours.

• Press and hold the “Start (Pause)” button ; the countdown of the delay time begins. The light of the “Start delay” button will keep blinking until the programme starts.

• The time delay indication disappears when the programme starts and it is replaced by the remaining time.

To cancel the “Start delay”:

•Press “Start (Pause)” , or press and hold “Reset (Drain)”

- the delay time will disappear from the display.

PROGRAMME START

Turn on the tap and press and hold the “Start (Pause)” button

- the blinking “Start (Pause)” button light becomes

constant; it will take some time until water enters into the washing

machine. The programme sequence indicator on the display shows the sequence reached in the programme. After starting the programme, the indication runs from left to right through prewash, wash, rinse, spin. When a programme sequence is finished, the corresponding symbol goes off. The display shows the remaining programme time. Due to variations in load and temperature of inlet water, the remaining time is newly calculated in certain programme phases. If this is the case, an animation appears on the display and the “6 symbol lights up.

Sense”

ADD WASHING/DOOR LOCK

As soon as a programme starts, the “Door locked” symbol lights up on the display. You can interrupt the programme by pressing “Start (Pause)”

- the light blinks. The “Door locked” symbol on the display goes off and you can open the door. In certain programme phases, the “Door locked” symbol remains lit to show that the door cannot be opened in the present programme phase, e.g. when the water level is too high. To continue the programme, just close the door and press “Start

(Pause)” again.

PROGRAMME END

“End” appears on the display, and a signal sounds.

1. Switch the machine off by pressing “On/Off” (if you do

not, the machine will switch off automatically about 5 minutes after programme end).

2. Turn off the tap and open the door to unload your washing.

Leave the door open for some time so that the washer’s inside can dry.

DETERGENT OVERDOSAGE INDICATION

The symbol will light up if you used too much detergent. Use less detergent next time. If the symbol lights up and the display shows “Fod”, too much foam interrupted the wash process; refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use.

CHANGE THE PROGRAMME, TEMPERATURE, OPTIONS AFTER PROGRAMME START

1. Press the “Start (Pause)” button to interrupt the

programme. The light blinks.

2. Select the new programme, temperature and options/

modifiers as desired.

3. Press and hold the “Start (Pause)” button again. The

new programme continues at the same position where the previous programme was interrupted. Do not add detergent for this programme.

RESET A RUNNING PROGRAMME BEFORE THE END
