Operating Instructions
1Safety
Prior to using the appliance for the first time
•Follow the “Installation and connection instructions”.
If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are mi-
nus temperatures: store the washing machine at room temperature 
for 24 hours before using for the first time.
Correct use
The washing machine is only designed for the washing of normal do-
mestic laundry at home. 
Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permit-
ted.
Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in domestic 
washing machines.
The washing must not contain any flammable solvent. The risk of ex-
plosion exists.
Do not use the washing machine for dry cleaning.
Dyes/colour removers may only be used in the washing machine, if 
the manufacturer of these products expressly permits this. We cannot 
accept liability for any damage arising.
Child safety
Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.
Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical 
appliances. Don’t allow children to use the washing machine unsu-
pervised.
Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the 
washing machine. The risk of death exists.

General safety
Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified/
authorised service engineers. 
Never use the appliance when the electrical cable is damaged or the 
control panel, worktop or plinth 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 cut-
out in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse.
If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-
ply and turn off the tap.
Never remove the power plug from the power point by pulling on the 
cable. Always pull the plug.
Multiway-plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. 
Resulting overheating may constitute a fire hazard. 
Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of 
electric shock.
When using wash programmes with high temperatures the glass in 
the door will become hot. Do not touch it!
Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the 
drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool 
down.
Small animals can nibble on electrical cables and water hoses. This 
can constitute a risk of electrocution and water damage. Keep small 
animals away from the washing machine.
