This will reduce pilling.
• Laundry that are subjected to materials such
as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely
must be shaken off before placing into the
machine. Such dusts and powders on the
laundry may build up on the inner parts of the
machine in time and can cause damage.
Correct load capacity
The maximum load capacity depends on the type
of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing
programme desired.
The machine automatically adjusts the amount
of water according to the weight of the loaded
laundry.
A
Follow the information in the “Programme
and consumption table”. When overloaded,
machine's washing performance will drop.
Moreover, noise and vibration problems may
occur.
Loading the laundry
• Open the loading door.

• Push the loading door to close until you hear
a locking sound. Ensure that no items are
caught in the door.

The loading door is locked while a programme
is running. The door can only be opened a

In case of misplacing the laundry, noise and
vibration problems may occur in the machine.

machine as seen above.
Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents
• Add detergent and softener before starting the
washing programme.
• Never open the detergent drawer while the
washing programme is running!
• When using a programme without prewash,
do not put any detergent into the prewash
compartment (compartment nr. I).
• In a programme with prewash, do not
put liquid detergent into the prewash
compartment (compartment nr. I).
• Do not select a programme with prewash if
you are using a detergent bag or dispensing
ball. Place the detergent bag or the
dispensing ball directly among the laundry in
the machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget
to place the liquid detergent cup into the main
wash compartment (compartment nr. II).
Choosing the detergent type
The type of detergent to be used depends on the
type and colour of the fabric.
• Use different detergents for coloured and
white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special
detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo,
etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and
quilts, it is recommended to use liquid
detergent.
• Wash woolens with special detergent made
specifically for woolens.
A
Use only detergents manufactured specifically
for washing machines.
A
Do not use soap powder.
Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used
depends on the amount of laundry, the degree
of soiling and water hardness. Read the
manufacturer's instructions on the detergent
package carefully and follow the dosage values.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage
quantities recommended on the detergent
package to avoid problems of excessive
foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally,
environmental protection.
• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or
lightly soiled clothes.
• Use concentrated detergents in the
recommended dosage.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of
the detergent drawer.
• Use the dosages recommended on the
package.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in
the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with
water before putting it in the detergent drawer.
Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:
• Make sure that you have placed the liquid
detergent cup in compartment nr. "II".
• Use the detergent manufacturer's measuring
cup and follow the instructions on the
package.
• Use the dosages recommended on the
package.
• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute
it with water before putting in the detergent
cup.
