After installing the cover at the bottom of the washer, the noise level will be greatly reduced. Please ask for advice from specialists before installing the cover, nevertheless, the machine can be used without the bottom cover.

Noise-reduction bottom plate installation instructions

1. Before installing the noise-reduction bottom plate, align and paste the acoustic absorption wool with and along the right-angle impression on the bottom plate (this procedure is unnecessary for some of the models without acoustic absorption wool).
2. Remove surface paper on double-sided tape on four sides of the bottom plate.
3. Incline the machine to an angle of 40° and let the side with a right-angle notch face towards the front of the washing machine, as shown in the figure. Insert the side with an oblique-angle notch between two-foot screws at the back of the washing machine completely in place. Then, install the bottom plate and ensure that it contacts with bottom of the washing machine closely.
4. Press the double-sided tape on four sides manually to secure the noise-reduction plate to the machine body firmly.

Connect the water supply inlet hose

1. If the water inlet hose is not already installed, it must be screwed to the appliance. The blue-marked hose is only for cold water.
2. Screw by hand the inlet hose onto the tap, by tightening the nut.

Attention:

• No kinks in the hose!
• The appliance must not be connected to the mixing tap of an un-pressurized water heater.
• Check the water-tightness of the connections by turning the tap completely on.
• If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure-resistant hose (1000 kPa min).
• Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace if necessary.
• The washing machine can be connected without a non-return valve.

Connect the drain hose
In case the drain hose is installed as shown below:

1. Unhook it only from the right clip (see arrow)
2. Connect the drain hose to the Drain or hook it over the edge of a sink using the “U” bend. Fit the “U” bend E, if not already installed, at the end of the drain hose.

Notes:

• Ensure that there are no kinks in the drain hose.
• Secure the hose so that it cannot fall. After the wash phase, the machine will drain out hot water.
• Small hand basins are not suitable.
• To make an extension use a hose of the same type and secure the connections with clips.
• Max. Overall drain hose length: 2.50 m.

Before the first wash cycle
To remove any residual water used during testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that you carry out a short wash cycle without laundry.

1. Open the tap.
2. Close the door.
3. Pour a little detergent (about 30 ml) into the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser.
4. Select and start a short programme.

Preparation of the washing

Sort the laundry according to…

1. Type of fabric/care label symbol
   Cotton, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwash items.
   Colour
   Separate coloured and white items. Wash new coloured articles separately.
   Loading
   Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribution in the drum.
   Delicates
   Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.) and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a cloth bag or pillow case with a zip. Always remove curtain rings or wash curtains with the rings inside a cotton bag.

2. Empty all pockets
   Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry as well as the appliance drum and tub.

3. Fasteners
   Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together. Stain removal Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by the automatic enzyme phase of the program.

• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit stains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser.
• Pre-treat heavily soiled areas with stain remover if necessary.

Dyeing

• Only use dyes that are suitable for washing machines.
• Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.
• Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine can be stained by dyes.

Loading the laundry

1. Open the door.

2. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes given in the quick reference guide.
   Note : Overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.

3. Close the door.

Detergents and additives

Always use high-efficiency, low-foam detergent for a front-load machine. The choice of detergent depends on:

• type of fabric (cotton, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool).
  Note : Use only specific detergents for washing wool.

• colour

• the wash temperature

• degree and type of soiling

Remarks:
Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents. Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines. When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines. Descalers could contain products that could damage your washing machine. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine). Do not wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Dosage
Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:

• degree and type of soiling
• size of wash follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for a full load; half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load; minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used for a full load;
• water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water.

Notes:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning. Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time and also calcify the heating system, drum and hoses.

Where to put detergent and additives
The detergent drawer has three chambers (fig. “A”)

Prewash chamber

• Detergent for the prewash/soak

Mainwash chamber

• Detergent for the main wash
• Stain remover
• Water softener (water hardness class 4)

Softener chamber

• Fabric softener

Notes:

• Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
• Liquid detergents can be used for programs with prewash. However, in this case, a powder detergent must be used for the main wash.
• Do not use liquid detergents when activating the “Start Delay” function (if available on your washing machine).
• To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the detergent and place it directly inside the drum.
• When using descaling agents, bleaches or dyes, make sure that they are suitable for washing machines. Descalers could contain compounds that can damage parts of your washing machine.
• Do not use any solvents in the washing machine (e.g. turpentine, benzine).

Residue from detergent and additives left in the detergent drawer at the end of the wash.| •  the cover grid of the softener chamber and the separator of the main wash chamber are correctly installed in the detergent dispenser and all parts are clean (see “Care and maintenance”);

•  sufficient water is entering. The mesh filters of the water supply could be blocked (see “Care and maintenance”);

•  the position of the separator in the main wash chamber is adapted to the use of powder or liquid detergent (see “Detergent and additives”).

The machine vibrates during the spin cycle.| •  the washing machine is level and standing firmly on all four feet;

•  the transport bolts have been removed. Before using the machine, the transport bolts must be removed.

The final spin results are poor.| The washing machine has an imbalance detection and correction system. If individual heavy items are loaded (e.g. bathrobes), this system may reduce the spin speed automatically or even interrupt the spin completely if it detects too great an imbalance even after several spin starts, to protect the washing machine.

•  If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the cycle, remove some articles of laundry and repeat the spin cycle.

•  Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning. Use the correct amount of detergent.

•  Check that the spin speed selector has not been set to “0”.

---|---
If your washing machine has a time display: the programme time initially displayed is lengthened/shortened by a period:| This is a normal capacity of the washing machine to adapt to factors that can affect the wash programme time, e.g.:

•  excess foam formation;

•  load imbalance due to heavy items of laundry;

•  prolonged heating time due to reduced inlet water temperature;

Because of influences like these, the time remaining in the programme run is recalculated, and updated if necessary. In addition, during the filling phase,

the washing machine determines the load and if necessary adjusts the initial programme time displayed accordingly. During such update periods, an animation appears on the time display.
