Operating Instructions
1 Safety
The safety aspects of our electrical appliances com-
ply with accepted technical standards and the Ger-
man Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, as a
manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make
you aware of the following safety instructions.
Prior to using the appliance for the
first time
Follow the “Installation and connection instruc-
tions” further on in this user manual.
In the event that the appliance is delivered in the
winter months with below-zero temperatures:
Store the washing machine at room temperature
for 24 hours prior to using it for the first time.
Correct use
The washing machine is intended for household
use in washing normal household items. If the
appliance is used for other purposes, or is used
incorrectly, the manufacturer cannot accept any
liability for any damage caused.
Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are
not permitted for safety reasons.
Use only detergents that are suitable for washing
machines. Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
The washing must not contain any flammable sol-
vent. Ensure this is the case even when washing
pre-cleaned items.
The washing machine must not be used for
chemical cleaning.
Dying and stripping agents may only be used in
the washing machine if the manufacturer of these
products expressly allows it. We cannot accept
liability for possible damages.
Use only water from the water supply. Use rain-
water or processing water only if it fulfils the
requirements of DIN1986 and DIN1988.
Frost damage is not covered under the warranty.
If the washing machine is placed in a room which
is at risk of frosting up, in the event that there is a
risk of frost an emergency emptying procedure
must be performed (see section “Carrying out an
emergency emptying procedure”).
Child safety
Packaging materials (e.g. film, styrofoam) can be
dangerous to children. A risk of suffocation exists.
Keep packaging away from children.
Children often do not recognise the hazards
associated with the use of electrical appliances. It
is therefore important you ensure that children are
adequately supervised while the washing
machine is operating and that you do not allow
children to play with the washing machine, as
there is a risk that children can shut themselves
inside the appliance.
Ensure that children and small animals do not
climb into the washing machine drum.
When disposing of the washing machine: Discon-
nect the power plug from the mains, break the
door lock, cut off the mains cable and dispose of
the plug and remainder of the cable. This will pre-
vent children playing with the appliance from
shutting themselves inside and putting their lives
at risk.
General safety
Repairs to the washing machine may only be car-
ried out by technicians. Considerable dangers
can arise as the result of improper repairs being
carried out. Should the appliance be in need of
repair, contact our Customer Service or your spe-
cialist dealer.
Never use the appliance when the electricity cord
is damaged or the control panel, worktop or base
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 LS switch in the fuse box or completely
unscrew the screw-retaining device.
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a
period of time, 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 cord; pull the power plug
itself.
Manifold-plugs, connectors and extension cords
must not be used. Resulting overheating may
constitute a fire hazard.
Do not spray the washing machine with a stream
of water. A risk of electrocution exists.
6
When using wash programmes with high temper-
atures the glass in the loading door will become
hot. Do not touch it!
Prior to carrying out an emergency emptying pro-
cedure or cleaning the drain pump, allow the
wash water to cool down.
Small animals can nibble on electrical cables and
waterhoses. This can constitute a risk of electro-
cution and water damage. Keep small animals
away from the washing machine.
2 Disposal
Dispose of the packaging material.
Dispose of your washing machine’s packaging prop-
erly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to
the environment and can be recycled.
Plastic parts are marked with standard interna-
tional abbreviations:
Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recy-
cled paper and should be deposited in the waste
paper collection for recycling.
Dispose of the old appliance.
When you finally cease to use your washing
machine, please take it to the nearest recycling cen-
tre or to your dealer.
2 Ecological tips
For items that are soiled to an average degree, it
is possible to get by without a pre-wash cycle.
This will save you detergent, water, and time (and
protect the environment as well!).
The washing machine can be particularly eco-
nomical if you make full use of the loads allowed.
With small loads, use half to two thirds the rec-
ommended quantity of detergent.
Stains and certain amount of soiling can be
removed prior to washing with suitable treatment.
Then you can use a lower temperature when
washing.
Wash lightly to normally soiled whites using the
energy saver programme.
It is often possible to do without conditioner. Give
it a try! Using a dryer can make your washing just
as soft and fluffy without the use of conditioner.
With medium to very hard water (for hardness
range II or higher, see “Detergents and condition-
ers”), you should add a water softener. The
amount of detergent used can then always be
that as for hardness range I ( soft).

material

Consumption values and time require-
ments
The values for selected programmes provided in the following table were determined under standard condi-
tions.
However, they provide helpful orientation for household use of the washing machine.
Before the first wash
Perform a wash cycle without loading any washing:
COTTONS 95 (light blue), with half of the normal

Preparing for a wash cycle
Sorting and preparing the washing
Sort the washing according to care symbols and
type (see “Types of washing and care symbols”).
Empty out the pockets.
Remove metal objects (such as paper clips,
safety pins, etc).
To prevent damage to items and stop the washing
from balling up: Close zips, button up bed and
cushion covers, tie together loose strings for
example from aprons.
Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside-out
(sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.).
For treated coloured textiles and textiles with
attached decorations: Turn items inside out.
Wash small delicate items (baby’s socks, stock-
ings, bras etc.) in a washing bag, in a cushion
cover which has a zip or in larger socks.
Special care must be taken with curtains.
Remove metal or burred plastic rollers or tie them
up in a net or bag. We cannot accept liability for
any damage.
Coloured and white items should not be washed
together in the same cycle. White items will other-
wise discolour or become grey.
New coloured items often contain excess dye. It
is better to wash these items separately the first
time.
Mix larger items with smaller ones. This will
improve the effectiveness of the wash and distrib-
ute items more evenly during the spin cycle.
Shake out the items before loading them into the
washing machine.
Separate items from one another before placing
them inside the drum.
Pay attention to care instructions such as “Wash
separately” and “Wash separately several times”.
Types of washing and care symbols
The care symbols will help you to choose the correct
wash programme. The washing should be sorted
according to type and care symbol. The tempera-
tures indicated on the care symbols are the maxi-
mum wash temperatures.
Cottons ç
Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not
sensitive to machine washing or high temperatures.
The COTTONS/LINEN (light blue) programme is suit-
able for such items.
Linen èë
Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not
sensitive to machine washing. The COTTONS/LINEN
(light blue) programme is suitable for this type of
washing.
Easy-care items êí
Materials such as fine cotton, cotton-blend fabrics
and synthetics with these care symbols require a
gentler machine wash. The EASY-CARES (yellow)
programme is suitable for such items.
Delicates ì
Materials such as layered fibres, micro-fibres, syn-
thetics and curtains with this care symbol require par-
ticularly careful treatment. The DELICATES (black)
programme is suitable for such items.
Wool, silk and especially sensitive items
9ìï
Fabrics such as wool, wool blends and silk with
these care symbols are particularly sensitive to
machine washing. The Í WOOL (black) programme
is suitable for such fabrics.
Important: Items with the care symbol
ñ
(Do not
wash!) must not be washed in washing machines.

Detergents and conditioners
Which detergent and conditioner?
Only use detergents and conditioners that are suita-
ble for use in washing machines. Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
How much detergent and
conditioner?
The amount of detergent or conditioner to be used is
dependent on:
the degree of soiling of the washing
the hardness of the tap water
the load size.
2
If the detergent manufacturer makes no rec-
ommendations concerning the amount of
detergent or conditioner to be used for a
minimum load, for a half-load use a third
less, and for a very small load use only the
half of the amount of detergent that is rec-
ommended for a full load.
Please follow the instructions for use and
dosage provided by the detergent and con-
ditioner manufacturer.
Water softener
Water softener should be used if the water hardess is
medium to hard (from hardness range II). Please take
note of the manufacturer’s instructions. Then use the
same amount of detergent as for hardness range I
(= soft). Your competent water works will provide you
with information about local water hardness.
Water hardness specifications
Hardness range
Water hardness in °dH
(German degree of hardness)
Water hardness in mmol/l
(millimol per litre)
I – soft 0 - 7 up to 1.3
II – medium 7 - 14 1,3 - 2,5
III – hard 14 - 21 2,5 - 3,8
IV – very hard over 21 over 3.8

Performing a wash cycle
Brief guide
A wash cycle consists of the following steps:
1. Switch on the appliance by pressing the Q (ON/
OFF) button.
2. Set the desired wash programme:
Set the programme and temperature using the
programme selector
Select additional programme option(s) if
required
3. Change the spin speed/press o (RINSE HOLD)
as necessary.
4. Open the loading door and load the washing.
5. Close the loading door.
6. Add detergent/additives.
7. Start the wash programme by pressing the
U
(START/PAUSE) button.
After the wash programme has finished:
Important: If the wash cycle finishes with o (rinse
hold), perform a D (PUMP) or F (SPIN) cycle before
opening the loading door.
8. Open the door and remove the washing.
9. Turn the programme selector to Ï.
10.Switch off the appliance by pressing the Q (ON/
OFF) button.
15
Switching on the appliance
Switch on the appliance by pressing the Q (ON/OFF)
button.
Setting a wash programme
1. Turn the programme selector to the desired wash
programme with the desired temperature.
3
For the appropriate programme, correct
temperature and possible additional pro-
gramme options for each type of item, see
“Programme tables”.
2. Select additional programme option(s) if required:
The indicator for the additional programme option
selected will illuminate.
To change the selection, press another button.
Press the button again to de-select.
16
Changing the spin speed/selecting rinse hold
If required, change the spin speed for the final spin/
select o (RINSE HOLD):
Continue pressing the
K (SPIN) button until the dis-
play for the desired spin speed illuminates.
When this is set J the final rinse water will be
drained at the end of the programme but the wash-
ing will not be spun.
If the o (RINSE HOLD) button is pressed, the wash-
ing remains in the final rinse water and is not spun.
If you do not change the spin speed, the final spin is
automatically adjusted according to the wash pro-
gramme:
3
The spin speed for the intermediate spin is
dependent on the programme selected. The
intermediate spin can be totally switched off
during the programme using the
K (SPIN)
button (except in the COTTONS/LINEN (light
blue) programme). The J display will illumi-
nate.
The washing will not be spun throughout the
entire wash cycle.
As a result the cycle is a very quiet one. o
(RINSE HOLD) is therefore especially suita-
ble for washing at night.
Note: The laundry remains lying in the water until you
drain or spin (see section “Ending a wash cycle”).
After 18 hours however, it is automatically drained
and pumped.
