2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
GENERAL  
OVERFILL PROTECTION  
• Study and save this Use and Care Guide for  
future reference.  
If the level of water in the machine rises above  
normal, the overfill protection will start to pump  
out water and shut off the water supply. The  
programme will be interrupted if the level does  
not fall within 60 seconds.  
• Electrical and water installation, if required,  
must be carried out by authorized persons.  
• The machine may only be used for washing in  
accordance with these operating instructions -  
not for dry cleaning.  
INTERRUPTING A PROGRAMME  
• Use only detergents intended for machine  
washing.  
You can interrupt a washing programme by hol-  
ding the  
button down for three seconds.  
• Remove the transport supports before using  
the machine, see installation instructions.  
• Repairs and maintenance which affect safety  
or performance must be carried out by an aut-  
horized specialist.  
The machine will then “remember” the point in  
the washing programme at which it was inter-  
rupted. To restart: fill with new detergent, if  
required, and close the door. The machine will  
then start from the point at which it was inter-  
rupted.  
INSTALLATION

8 BEFORE WASHING  
Before you start washing, here is some advice  
that can be useful.  
RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING  
Check the recommended washing marking on  
garments. The table below gives useful informa-  
tion on suitable washing programmes for diffe-  
rent materials and amounts of washing.  
SORTING THE WASHING  
Sort garments in relation to:  
How soiled they are  
• Colour  
COLOURED COTTON  
• Material  
Coloured cotton garments marked with a re-  
commendation for 60ºC should the first time  
be washed at 60ºC to get rid of any surplus dye.  
If this advice is ignored there is a risk that co-  
lours will run. Use a detergent without bleach  
to safeguard the colours.  
GARMENTS  
• Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe  
against other items.  
• New coloured garments can have surplus dye  
and should therefore be washed separately the  
first time.  
DELICATE WASHING  
• Turn garments inside out.  
This reduces the risk of bur-  
ling, dye creases, etc.  
Unbleached linen  
Unbleached linen should be washed at 60ºC  
using a detergent without bleach or optical  
whitening agent. Severely soiled linen can oc-  
casionally be washed at a higher temperature,  
but not too often because heat can destroy the  
lustre and strength of linen.  
• Empty pockets and suitably  
let them wash turned inside out.

creased washing. This option means that the  
washing will continue to be rotated for two  
hours after the programme has ended. See Chap-  
ter 11, Making your own programmes, for de-  
tails of how to select this option.  
Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine  
wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and  
Hand programmes of the machine are at least  
as gentle as washing by hand.  
Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical  
processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying,  
you can press out the water instead using terry  
towelling. In this case, you should select No  
Spin. See Chapter 9, Washing, for details of  
how to select this setting.  
MINIMIZING ALLERGY HAZARDS  
This washing machine offers a Super rinse  
function. You should use this to take account  
of persons with a sensitive skin, for example  
persons with allergies and infants. See Chapter  
11, Making your own programmes, for details  
of how to select this option.  
Most garments will tolerate a short spin, ho-  
wever. The Wool and Hand programmes al-  
ways include a short spin.  
SAVE TIME  
Man-made fibres and synthetic fibres  
These materials require a lot of space if they are  
not to crease. Fill the drum only to half load  
when washing man-made/synthetic fibres. Se-  
lect a short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800  
revolutions/minute or lower.  
Use the White/Coloured programme to save  
time. This programme has a shorter main wash  
than Normal, but it is often sufficient for nor-  
mally soiled washing.  
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY  
NOTE  
You can save a lot of energy by not using a  
stronger programme than necessary.  
Viscose and acetate are brittle when wet.  
HIGH WATER LEVEL  
- Without increasing the temperature, the wash-  
ing effect can be increased by selecting the E2  
option. You will then save energy without lo-  
sing any washing effect.  
If you require more water for the main wash  
and rinsing, you can use the High water level  
option. See Chapter 11, Making your own pro-  
grammes, for details of how to select this op-  
tion.  
See Chapter 11, Making your own washing pro-  
grammes, for details of how to select E2.  
- Select a fast spin speed to reduce the energy  
consumption for subsequent drying in a tumble  
dryer or a drying cabinet.  
High water level is always used in the Wool  
and Hand programmes.  
AVOID CREASES WASHING  
- Select Quick if you simply need to freshen up  
shirts or training kit, etc. You will save both  
water and energy.  
You should use the Anti-crease option to avoid  
 
10  
DETERGENTS  
WASHING TIME  
Overdosing detergent will not give better re-  
sults, it only increases the burden on the envi-  
ronment.  
The  
-symbol indicates that the remaining  
washing time is shown at the bottom right in  
the display within ten minutes after the wash-  
ing programme starts.  
Try using less detergent, and increase the dose  
only if you are displeased with the washing re-  
sults.  
When a programme is choosen the washing  
time is calculated. The calculated washing time  
can vary from time to time due to the tempera-  
ture of incoming water.  
TEXTILE DYEING  
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select  
Normal with the Super rinse option. Choose a  
temperature according to recommendations  
from the dye maker.  
The remaining time is recalculated during  
the programme and may then be increased or  
reduced to some extent.  
If the fabrics to be dyed are mixtures such as  
cotton/polyester, you should select a spin speed  
of 800 revolutions/minute.  
See chapter 11, Making own washing pro-  
grammes (Super rinse) and chapter 9, Washing  
-Temporary alterations (Spin speed), to see how  
these selections are made.  
NOTE  
Bleaches or stain removers that contain the che-  
mical Na2S2O4, known as sodium dithionite or  
sodium hyposulphite, must not be used in this  
washing machine. If these substances are used  
they could cause corrosion and discoloration.  
NOTE  
Put the dye directly in the drum - not in the  
detergent compartment. After dyeing, the emp-  
ty machine should be run using the same pro-  
gramme. Use a normal amount of detergent.

usually suit most users. You can adjust the tem-  
perature and the spin speed temporarily, and  
you can run a spin or rinse programme tempor-  
arily without reading this Chapter; see Chapter  
9, Washing.  
By storing the programme, it will then be  
accessible simply by pressing a button every time  
you wish to use the washing machine.  
You can also create your own programmes to  
suit you and your washing needs even better.  
You can select a different type of program-

or Light. You can also alter settings such as  
temperature and spin speed and options such  
as Pre-soak, Delayed start and E2 Eco/Effi-

You can also make a temporary change of pro-  
gramme type, settings or options. The change is  
not stored in this case, but is deleted when you  
switch off the machine or when you select one  
of the pre-set programmes.  
Tables containing a description of all pro-

12 CARE AND CLEANING  
CHECKING THE COIN TRAP AND THE DRAIN PUMP  
The washing machine has a trap in which coins,  
hairpins and similar items fasten. Clean the coin  
trap and the drain pump as follows:  
1. Ensure that the main power switch is turned  
OFF.  
CLEANING THE DETERGENT COMPARTMENT  
Pull out the detergent compartment as far as it  
goes.

ter, eg, in a bowl, by pulling loose the drain  
hose on the inside of the  
cover.  
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE  
Use a mild detergent to clean the outside of the  
machine. Do not use any solvents, they can da-  
mage the machine.  
4. Open the pump by turning its cover antic-  
lockwise. Lift off  
the cover and coin  
trap.  
NOTE  
Do not spray the machine with water.  
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE TO PRE-  
VENT PROBLEMS WITH ODOUR  
5. Clean out any objects and foreign matter  
from the pump housing. Ensure that the pump  
blade, at the rear, can be rotated.  
Todays modern detergents mean that washing  
at low temperatures is often sufficient. Howe-  
ver, this can result in small deposits forming  
inside the machine. These can eventually lead  
to odour problems.  
6. Screw on the cover and coin trap, put the  
drain hose back  
on the cover lug  
and close the co-  
ver.  
To avoid these problems, we recommend  
running a 95° programme on a few occasions  
 
26  
each year. You should use a small quantity of  
detergent at the same time. It is not necessary to  
fill the machine with washing.  
HARD WATER  
If you live in an area that has hard water, the  
washer drum may become coated with a grey-  
white deposit. To get rid of the deposit, pour a  
packet of citric acid, about 20 gram, in the drum  
and run the Normal programme at 95°C. You  
will find citric acid on the spice shelf in your  
grocer's store.  
CLEANING HOLES UNDER THE RIDGES  
If you suspect that objects, eg, nails, paperclips,  
pins and so on, have fallen through the washing  
drum you should check the space underneath  
the ridges. Such items can corrode and cause  
rust stains on your washing. Nails and other  
sharp objects can tear fabrics.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool.  
2. Insert the screw-  
1
driver in the midd-  
le hole in the ridge  
and carefully push  
the screwdriver  
handle to the left.  
3. Grip the ridge with  
your other hand  
and lift it towards  
you as illustrated.  
2
4. Lift up the ridge.  
5. Remove any objects.  
6. Position the ridge in the fixing hole with the  
F marking towards you. Ensure that the ridge  
lugs fit firmly in their holes in the drum. Slide  
the ridge away from you until it stops.
