FIRST TIME USE
To remove any manufacturing debris select the “Cotton” programme at a temperature of 95°C. Pour a small quantity of detergent powder into the main wash compartment of the detergent dispenser (maximum 1/3 of the quantity the detergent manufacturer recommends for lightly soiled laundry). Start the programme without adding any laundry.

DAILY USE

Prepare your laundry according to the recommendations in the “HINTS

AND TIPS” section. Load the laundry, close the drum door and check that

it is closed properly. Pour in the detergent and any additives. Observe the

dosing recommendations on the detergent pack. Close the lid. Turn the

programme selector to the desired programme and select any option if

needed. The display shows the duration of the selected programme (in

hours and minutes), and the indicator for the “Start/Pause” button

flashes. The spin speed can be changed by pressing the “Spin” button.

The indicator of the predefined spin speed lights up. Open the tap and

press the “Start/Pause” button to start the wash cycle. The “Start/

Pause” indicator will lights up and the door will be locked. 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 time display.

PAUSE OR CHANGE A RUNNING PROGRAMME
To pause the wash cycle, press the “Start/Pause” button, the indicator light blinks. Select any new programme, options or spin speed if you wish to change those settings. Press the “Start/Pause” button again to start the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted. Do not add detergent for this programme.

LID OPEN INDICATOR
Before starting and after the end of a programme, the “Lid open” indicator lights to show that the lid can be opened. As long as a wash programme is running, the lid remains locked and must on no account be forced open. In case you have an urgent need to open it during a running programme, for example to add more laundry, or to remove laundry which was loaded by mistake, press the “Start/Pause” button. If the temperature is not too high, the “Lid open” indicator light turns on. It may last a while until you can open the lid. Press “Start/ Pause” to proceed with the programme again.

Quick guide

CHILD LOCK

You can lock the buttons of the control panel against improper use (e.g.

by children). Press both of the child lock buttons simultaneously and hold

them for at least 3 seconds. The key symbol

on the display lights

up. To unlock the buttons again proceed in the same way.

BLEACHING
Wash your laundry in the desired programme, Cotton or Synthetics , adding an appropriate amount of chlorine bleach to the Softener chamber (close the lid carefully). Immediately after the end of
the programme, turn the “Programme selector” and start the desired programme again to eliminate any residual bleach smell; if you want, you can add softener. Never put both chlorine bleach and softener into the softener chamber at the same time.

HINTS AND TIPS
Sort your laundry according to Type of fabric/care label (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, handwash items). Colour (separate coloured and white items, wash new coloured items separately). Delicates (wash small items like nylon stockings and items with hooks like bras in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip). Empty all pockets Objects like coins or lighters can damage your laundry as well as the drum. Appliance interior If you never or seldom wash your laundry at 95°C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C programme without laundry, adding a small amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance clean. Follow the dosage recommendation / additives It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent Use low temperature and longer duration The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration. Observe the load sizes Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the “PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy. Noise and remaining moisture content They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).

Cleaning the outside of the washing machine Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine. Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar to clean the control panel these substances might damage the printing.

Detergent dispenser

Clean regularly, at least three or four times a year, to prevent detergent

build-up: Press the

release

button

release

the

detergent

dispenser

and

remove it. A small quantity of water can remain in the dispenser, thus you

should carry it in an upright position. Wash the dispenser using running

water. You can also remove the siphon cap on the back of the

dispenser for cleaning. Replace the siphon cap in the dispenser (if

removed) Reinstall the dispenser by locating the dispenser’s bottom tabs

into the appropriate openings on the lid, and by pushing the dispenser

against the lid until it locks into place. Make sure that the detergent

dispenser is correctly reinstalled.

Checking the water supply hose

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged,

replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or

your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type: If the inlet hose has

a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally.

If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced. For water stop

hoses

(If available): check the small safety valve inspection

window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and

the hose must be replaced by a new one. For unscrewing this hose, press

the release button (if available) while unscrewing the hose.

EN
Cleaning the mesh filters in the water supply hose Check and clean regularly (at least two or three times a year). Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap. Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine. Pull off the mesh filter from the washing machine connection with universal pliers and clean it. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely water-tight.
Cleaning the water filter / draining residual water The washing machine is provided with a self-cleaning pump. The filter keeps objects like buttons, coins, safetypins etc. which have been left in the laundry. If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water filter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the filter. If the water cannot drain, the indicator indicates that the water filter may be clogged.
Open the filter cover with a coin. Place a broad, flat container beneath the water filter, to collect the drain water. Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise until water flows out. Let the water flow out, without removing the filter. When the container is full, close the water filter by turning it in clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat this procedure until all the water has drained. Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove the water filter by turning it out anti clockwise. Clean the water filter (remove residues in the filter and clean it under running water) and the filter chamber. Make sure the pump impeller (in the housing behind the filter) is not obstructed. Insert the water filter and close the filter cover: Reinsert the water filter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes. To test water tightness of the water filter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the drum and check that water does not leak from the filter. Then close the filter cover.
Lid seal Check the condition of the lid seal periodically and clean it from time to time with a damp cloth.
Recovering an object that falls between the drum and the tub If an object accidentally falls between the drum and the tub, you can recover it thanks to one of the removable drum lifters. Unplug the washing machine. Remove the laundry from the drum. Close the drum flaps and turn the drum a half-turn (picture a). Using a screwdriver press on the plastic end, while sliding the lifter from left to right (picture b, c) by hand it will fall into the drum. Open the drum. You can recover the object through the hole in the drum. Refit the lifter from inside the drum: Position the plastic tip above the hole on the right side of the drum (picture d). Then slide the plastic lifter from right to left until it clips. Close the drum flaps again, turn the drum through half a turn and check the positioning of the blade at all its anchorage points. Plug the washing machine in again.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Pull out the mains plug, and close the water tap. Disconnect the inlet hose from the water tap, and remove the drain hose from your draining point. Remove all rest water from the hoses and washing machine and fix hoses so that they cannot get damaged during transport. To facilitate moving the machine, pull the mobility lever situated at the bottom front (if available on your model) out a little by hand. Pull the washing machine out to the stop with the foot. Afterwards push the mobility lever back into the original stable position. Refit the transport bracket. Follow the instructions for removing the transport bracket in the INSTALATION GUIDE in reverse order.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The washing machine may sometimes not work properly for certain reasons. Before calling the After-sales service, it is recommended to check to see if the problem can be easily resolved using the following list.

Anomalies:

Possible causes / Solution:

· The plug is not inserted into the electrical outlet, or not enough to make contact.

· There has been a power failure.

The washing machine does not turn on · Lid is not properly closed.

and/ or programme does not start

· The “Child lock”

function has been activated (if available).

· The washing machine switched off automatically to save energy, before programme start or

after programme end. To switch on the washing machine, turn the programme selector first to

“Off/O” and then to the desired programme again.
