Operating Instructions

1 Safety
Prior to using for the first time
• Follow the ”Instructions for installation and connection”.
• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are mi-
nus 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 do-
mestic laundry at home.
• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permit-
ted.
• Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use in domes-
tic washing machines.
• The washing must not contain any inflammable solutions. Danger of
explosion!
• 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
be held responsible for any damage arising.

Child safety
• 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 unsu-
pervised.
• Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the
washing machine. Could endanger life!

5
 General safety
• Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified
service engineers.
• Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged; or if
the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the
inside of the appliance is freely accessible.
• Switch off the washing machine before cleaning, maintenance and
servicing. In addition, pull the mains plug out of the socket or – in
the case of a permanent connection – switch off the cut-out in the
fuse box or remove the screw fuse completely.
• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-
ply and shut off the water tap.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the
plug.
• Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.
This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.
• Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of
electric shock!
• In washing programmes with high temperatures the glass in the door
gets hot. Do not touch it.
• Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the

 Before the first wash
1. Open the detergent drawer.
2. Pour approx. 1 litre of water through the detergent drawer into the
washing machine.
This closes the water container when the next programme is started
and the economy valve can function properly.
3. 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:
(COTTONS/LINEN) 60, press (QUICK WASH), add approx. 1/4
measuring cup of washing powder.

Preparing and sorting washing

Preparing washing
• Empty 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 sensitive and small items in a net or a pillow case, e.g. net cur-
tains, tights, 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 appli-
ance.
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 care symbol G (= do not wash!)
in the washing machine.

10
Running a washing cycle
Opening the door/Loading the washing
1. To open the door: gently pull the handle on the door.
When the machine is switched on, the lights (DOOR) and
(START/PAUSE) indicate whether the door can be opened:

light (DOOR) light (START/PAUSE) Can the door be opened?

lit green flashes red or is off yes

yes, after pressing the
lit green lit red
(START/PAUSE) button
lit red flashes red no, water level too high or
or is off or lit red temperature too high

2. Unfold washing and load it loosely

into the machine. Mix large and
small items.
Important: Do not get any washing
caught between the door and the
rubber seal.
3. Press the door firmly shut. Door
catch must audibly latch.

Adding detergent/additives
Important: Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use
in domestic washing machines.
Dose detergent and additives according to the instructions of the de-
tergent and additive manufacturers. Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
Dosing depends upon:
– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the size of the load
– the degree of hardness of the water supply.
• If the manufacturer does not give instructions for small loads: for a
half load, use a third less, for a very small load, use only half of the
detergent that is recommended for a full load.
• From water hardness 2 (= medium) upwards, water softener should
be used. Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness 1
(= soft). Your local water company will be able to give you informa-
tion about the water hardness in your area.
11
 1. Pull the detergent dispenser drawer out as far as the stop.
2. Add the detergent/additives.
3. Push the drawer in fully.

EXTRA RINSE
With the programmes ECO (ENERGY SAVING), (COTTONS/LINEN),
(DELICATES), (EASY-CARES) and l (EASY IRON) two addi-
tional rinses are carried out (e. g. in cases of over-sensitive skin).

QUICK WASH
Shortened wash programme for less soiled items.

13
 PREWASH
Hot pre-wash before the main wash that follows automatically; with
intermediate spin for (COTTONS/LINEN) and (EASY-CARES),
without intermediate spin for (DELICATES).

STAIN
For heavily soiled or stained washing. In-wash stain treatments are
washed in at the optimum time as the programme progresses. Can only
be used for washing temperatures of above 40°C as stain removers are
not effective at lower temperatures.

Setting the delay timer

• Washing soiled with ointment, grease or oil was washed with too lit-
tle detergent.
• It was washed at too low a temperature.
• A common cause is that fabric conditioner – especially a concentrate
– has got onto the washing. Such stains should be washed out as
quickly as possible and make sure that you are careful when using
fabric conditioner.
After the last rinse foam can still be seen.
• Modern detergents may create foam even in the last rinse cycle. The
washing is however sufficiently rinsed.
There are white residues on the washing.
• This is due to the insoluble ingredients in modern detergents.
They are not caused by insufficient rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out
before washing. Check your choice of detergent. Especially with dark
colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents.

 Where to install
Important! The appliance must not be used in a room where there is a
danger of frost. Frost damage or impaired operation! Frost damage is
not covered by the warranty.
• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be firm
and level. Do not install the appliance on carpets or on soft floor cov-
erings.
• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean
and dry and free from coverings that move, so that the appliance
does not slide.
• If the location in which the appliance is to be installed is fitted with
small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under
the appliance.
If the appliance is to stand on a
plinth:
In order for the appliance to be se-
cure on the plinth, fixing plates*)
must be mounted, into which the
appliance is inserted.

If the appliance is to stand on floors that vibrate, e. g. floors of

wooden joists with deal boards:
If possible, install the appliance in one corner of the room.
1. Screw a water-resistant wooden board (at least 15 mm thick) onto at
least 2 of the floor joists.
2. Affix fixing plates *) onto the wooden board, into which the appliance
is inserted.
*) The fixing plates can be obtained from the Customer Care Depart-
ment.

30
Making the appliance level
The four feet of the appliance are
pre-adjusted.
Large degrees of unevenness can be
compensated for by individually ad-
justing the height adjustable screw
feet.
Use the special spanner supplied to
do this.
Important! Do not use pieces of
wood, cardboard or such like to lev-
el out unevenness in the floor, but
adjust the height adjustable screw
feet instead.

Electrical connection
Details about the voltage, type of supply and the fuses required are to
be found on the rating plate. The rating plate is next to the doorway.

Connecting to the water supply

Important!
• This appliance must not be connected to the hot water system.
• When connecting it, use only new hose kits.
• Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water
or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the require-
ments of DIN1986 and DIN1988.
• Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose.

Permitted water pressure

The water pressure must be at least 1bar (=10N/cm2 =0.1MPa) and may
be a maximum of 10bar (=100N/cm2 =1MPa).
– If more than 10bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve.
– If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose from
the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition re-
move the filter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket
behind it.) Re-insert the filter.

31
 Water inflow
A 1.50 m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance.
If a longer water inlet hose is required, only original hoses are to be
used. The Customer Care Department stocks hose kits of different
lengths.
3 Sealing rings are either inserted in the nuts of the threaded hose fitting
or are included as spare parts . Do not use any other type of sealing
rings.
Important! All threaded hose fit-
tings must only be tightened by
hand.
1. Connect the hose with the right-an-
gle connector to the machine.

Important! Do not position the inlet

hose vertically downwards. Position
it to the right or the left as shown in
the illustration.

2. Connect the hose with the straight

connector to a water tap with an R
¾ (inch) screw thread.
3. To tighten or loosen the threaded
hose fitting, only the metal nuts
must be turned. When doing this,
keep a firm hold on the housing of
the safety valve with one hand, so
that it does not turn at the same
time.
Important! To tighten or loosen the
threaded hose fitting, never turn the
housing of the safety valve, as oth-
erwise the inner hose will be dam-
aged.
4. Open the water tap slowly and check all connections for water tight-
ness.

32
Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface
on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only original hoses may be used to extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m
laid on the floor and then 80 cm vertically). The Customer Care Depart-
ment stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.
Draining water into a sink outlet
Secure the outlet/sink outlet joint
with a hose band clip (available from
your dealer).

Draining water into a wash basin/bath

1 Important!
– Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter may overflow.
– The end of the drain hose must
not be in the water that has been
pumped out. Otherwise water
could be sucked back into the ap-
pliance.
– When draining into a wash basin
or a bath, secure the drain hose
with the supplied elbow to stop it
slipping. Otherwise the water run-
ning out can force the hose out of
the basin.
– When pumping the water out,
check that the water is running
away fast enough.

Pumping heights over 1 m

The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of
1meter, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.
Warning! If pumping height is over 1 metre, malfunctions and damage
to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained.
Please contact the Customer Care Department.
