Washing environmentally and economically
–
To make the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the pro-
gramme you are using.
–
When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load recognition
system will reduce the amount of water
and energy used.
–
Use the
Express 20
programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
–
Modern detergents enable washing at
reduced temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Use
appropriate temperature settings for
saving energy.
–
Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than the
amount recommended can be used
when washing a half load).
–
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.

ĺ
Empty all pockets.
ə
Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can

Making changes
Programme
Once a programme has started, it is no
longer possible to select a different pro-
gramme.
Temperature
The temperature can be changed within six
minutes of the programme starting.
Spin speed
The spin speed can be changed at any
time.
Extras
It is possible to select or deselect the Water
plus Extra option up to six minutes after the

ĺ

Door
button until the door
opens.
ĺ

ĺ
Close the door.
The programme will continue.
Once a programme has started, the
washing machine cannot recognise any
adjustment to the load.
For this reason, if laundry is added or
removed after the start of a programme,
the machine will always complete the pro-
gramme cycle assuming a full load.
This can lead to an increase in the time
left displayed.
The door cannot be opened if:
–
the suds temperature is above 55°C.
–
the water is above a certain level.
–
the programme has reached the
Spin
stage.

ə
Before using the machine for the first
time, ensure that it is correctly installed
and connected. Please read the separate
operating instructions supplied with the
appliance.
For safety reasons, spinning is not possible
until the machine has been prepared for use
for the first time. To activate the spinning
function, you must run a wash programme
without laundry and without detergent.
ə
Using detergent could result in an
excessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The ball
valve prevents detergent escaping from the
suds container into the sump during a wash
programme, thus making maximum use of
the detergent.
Running the first programme
ĺ
Turn on the tap.
ĺ
Switch on the washing machine with the
button.
ĺ
Turn the programme selector to
Cottons
60°C
.
ĺ
Press the
Start/Stop
button.
ĺ
Switch the washing machine off at the
end of the programme.
The machine is now ready for use.
2. Selecting a programme
ĺ
Switch on the washing machine with the
button.
Programme selection
ĺ
Turn the programme selector to the required pro-
gramme.
The estimated programme duration will appear in the dis-
play.
During the first 10 minutes the machine measures how
much water is being absorbed by the laundry. The pro-
gramme duration may be longer or shorter depending on
this absorbency rate.
