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

1. Sort the laundry according to… · Type of fabric / care label symbol
Cottons, 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 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 programme. · 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.

12

EN

B Product usage
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 (cottons, 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 which 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 calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.

13

EN

B Product usage
Where to put detergent and additives The detergent drawer has three chambers (fig. “A”)
Prewash chamber · Detergent for the prewash
Mainwash chamber · Detergent for the main wash · Stain remover · Water softener (water hardness class 4)
Softener chamber · Fabric softener · Liquid starch
Pour additives only up to the “Max” mark.

Notes: · Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children. · Liquid detergents can be used for programmes 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).

Troubleshooting guide

Depending on the model, your washing machine is equipped with various automatic safety functions. This enables faults to be detected in good time and the safety system can then react appropriately. These faults are frequently so minor that they can be resolved within a few minutes.

Problem The washing machine will not start, no indicator lamps are on. The washing machine will not start… and the “Start/ Pause” indicator lamp flashes. The appliance stops during the programme (varies depending on model).
Residue from detergent and additives left in the detergent drawer at end of wash.
Machine vibrates during spin cycle.

Check whether / Possible cause
· the mains plug is inserted into the socket · the wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table
lamp or similar appliance to test it).
· the door is properly closed (child safety); · the “Start/Pause” button has been pressed; · the “Water tap closed” indication lights up. Open the
water tap and press the “Start/Pause” button.
· the door has been opened and the “Start/Pause” indicator lamp is flashing. Close the door and press the “Start/Pause” button again.
· Check if there is too much foam inside, machine enters kill-foam routine. The machine will run again automatically after a period.
· the washing machine’s safety system has been activated (see “Fault description table”).
· 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 washing machine is level and standing firmly on all four feet;
· the transport bolts have been removed. Before using the machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts are removed.

C Cleaning and maintenance

Problem Final spin results are poor.
If your washing machine has a time display: the programme time initially displayed is lengthened / shortened by a period of time:

Check whether / Possible cause
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, in order 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”.
This is a normal capacity of the washing machine to adapt to factors that can have an effect on 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.
