Operating Instructions

1Safety

Prior to using the appliance for the first time

•Follow the “Installation and connection instructions”.

•If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are minus temperatures: store the

washing machine at room temperature for 24 hours before using for the first time.

Correct use

•The washing machine is only designed for the washing of normal domestic laundry at home.

•Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permitted.

•Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in domestic washing machines.

•The washing must not contain any flammable solvent. The risk of explosion exists.

•Do not use the washing machine for dry cleaning.

•Dyes/colour removers may only be used in the washing machine, if the manufacturer of these products expressly permits this. We cannot accept liability for any damage arising.

Child safety

General safety

•Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified/authorised service engineers.

•Never use the appliance when the electrical cable is damaged or the control panel, worktop or plinth area are damaged to such an extent that the inside of the appliance is openly accessible.

•Switch off the washing machine prior to cleaning it and carrying out maintenance. In addition, remove the power plug from the power point or – if the appliance has been hard-wired – switch off the cutout in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse.

•If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and turn off the tap.

•Never remove the power plug from the power point by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

•Multiway-plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. Resulting overheating may constitute a fire hazard.

•Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of electric shock.

•When using wash programmes with high temperatures the glass in the door will become hot. Do not touch it!

•Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool down.

•Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.

•Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical appliances. Don’t allow children to use the washing machine unsupervised.

•Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the washing machine. The risk of death exists.

•Small animals can nibble on electrical cables and water hoses. This can constitute a risk of electrocution and water damage. Keep small animals away from the washing machine.

Cleaning the machine prior to first use

In order to remove any residues from the drum and water container which may have been left during manufacturing, perform the first wash cycle without any washing in the machine. Programme: COLOURED COTTONS 60 °C, option EXTRA QUICK, add approx. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.

Preparing and sorting washing

Preparing washing

•Empty the pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e.g. coins, paper clips, nails, etc.).

•Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing.

•Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a bag.

•Wash delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains, tights, small socks, handkerchiefs, bras.

Important: Bras and other items containing wires should only be washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appliance.

Sorting washing

•By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can run.

•By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.

Important: Do not wash fabrics with the G care symbol (= do not wash!) in the washing machine.

8

Running a wash cycle

Opening the door/Loading the washing

1.To open the door: pull the handle on the door. When the appliance is switched on, the indicator on the door shows whether the door can be opened:

	Door indicator	Can the door be
		opened?
	illuminated	no1)
	not illuminated	yes

1)During the programme the door is locked when the water level or the temperature is high.

2.Unfold washing and load it loosely into the machine. Mix large and small items.

Important! Do not to trap items of clothing between the door and the rubber door seal.

3.Press the door firmly shut. The catch must audibly latch.

9

Adding detergent / conditioner

Important: Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in household washing machines. Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/conditioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packaging.

The amount of detergent used depends on:

–the degree of soiling,

–the load size

–the hardness of the tap water.

•If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with regard to small volumes of washing: For a half-load use a third less, and for a very small load use only the half the amount of detergent that is recommended for a full load.

•Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medium). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you with information about water hardness in your area.

1.Pull out the detergent drawer as far as it will go.

2.Add the detergent/conditioner.

3.Push the detergent drawer in fully.

Softener, wash-care products to preserve the shape of garments, starch

Fill the compartment to no more than the MAX indicator. Add water to thick liquid concentrates in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions before using them. Dissolve powder starch.

If you are using liquid detergent:

Add liquid detergent using measuring containers provided by the detergent manufacturer.

10

Switching on the appliance/Setting a programme

Select the programme using the programme knob.

3When you select a programme, you switch the appliance on at the same time.

–The programme progress display shows the programme steps that the selected programme will carry out.

–The estimated programme duration (in hours and minutes) appears in the multi-display.

–Depending on the programme, the washing machine suggests a temperature and a spin speed. You can change these suggestions.

Changing the temperature

Press the TEMP. key repeatedly until the desired temperature is displayed.

Changing Spin Speed /Selecting the Night cycle

The washing machine suggests the maximum permitted speed that is suitable for the selected programme. You can reduce this speed:

Press the Spin/ (NIGHT CYCLE) button repeatedly until the desired display lights up.

3The speed for the final spin can still be altered during the programme. To do this:

1.Press the START/PAUSE button.

2.Change the speed.

3.Press the START/PAUSE button again.

Night Cycle

With (NIGHT CYCLE) the water is just drained at the end of the cycle.

There is no spinning during the whole washing cycle. Because of this the programme runs very quietly. (NIGHT CYCLE) is therefore particularly suitable if you want to wash at night.
