If the wash result is not satisfactory
The washing is grey and there are limescale deposits in the drum
Too little detergent was used.
An incorrect detergent was used.
Individual stains were not pre-treated.
The programme or temperature was not set properly.
There are grey stains on the washing 
Items that were soiled with ointments, fats or oils were washed using 
too little detergent.
The wash temperature used was too low.
A common cause is that conditioner – in particular the type in con-
centrated form - has come in contact with the washing. Wash out 
such marks as soon as possible and exercise care when using the said 
conditioner.
Foam can still be seen following the final rinse 
Modern detergents can cause foam to be created even during the fi-
nal rinse. In spite of this, the washing has been sufficiently rinsed.
Conditioner has not 
been rinsed in, com-
partment w for condi-
tioner is filled with 
water.The softener insert in the 
compartment for condition-
ers has not been correctly 
inserted or is blocked.Clean the detergent drawer, 
insert the conditioner insert 
firmly.
The door cannot be 
opened when the wash-
ing machine is switched 
on.
The door is locked.Wait until the DOOR indica-
tor is illuminated green.
There has been a power cut. 
(All the indicators have gone 
out.)
The door remains locked for 
approx. 4 to 10 minutes.
The programme will continue 
when the power cut has end-
ed.
To remove the washing:
If water can be seen in the 
appliance, prior to opening 
the door first let the water 
out (see section “Carrying 
out an emergency drain”).
The washing is badly 
creased.Perhaps too many items 
were loaded.Observe the maximum load 
volume.

There are white residues on the washing 
What can be seen here are insoluble substances which modern deter-
gents contain. They are not the result of insufficient rinsing. 
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out 
before washing. Check your choice of detergent. Especially with dark 
colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents.
Carrying out an emergency drain
1Warning! Prior to carrying out an emergency drain, switch off the 
washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point.
Warning! The water that comes out of the emergency drain hose may 
be hot. There is a risk of scalding. Let the water cool before performing 
an emergency drain!
1.Open the plinth flap and remove it.
2.Remove the emergency drain hose.
3.Place a shallow container under-
neath it. Then loosen the drain plug 
by turning it in an anti-clockwise 
direction and pull it out.
4.The water will run out. If it is neces-
sary to empty the container more 
than once, seal up the emergency 
drain hose with the drain plug while 
you are doing so.
When the water has all drained away:
5.Insert the plug firmly into the emergency drain hose and turn it in a 
clockwise direction until it is firmly in place.
6.Replace the emergency drain hose into the retainer.
7.Insert the plinth flap into place and close it.

Drain pump
The drain pump is maintenance-free. It is only necessary to open the 
pump cover if there is a malfunction and water is no longer being 
pumped out, e.g. if the pump wheel is blocked. 
Before loading the machine, please always ensure that there are no for-
eign bodies present in the pockets or in between the items to be 
washed. Paper clips, nails, etc. which may find their way into the wash-
ing machine along with the washing will remain in the drain pump 
housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump wheel). 
1Warning! Before opening the cover of the drain pump, switch off the 
washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point.
1.First carry out an emergency drain.
2.Place a cloth on the floor in front of the cover of the drain pump. 
Residual water runs out.
3.Unscrew the pump cover in an anti-
clockwise direction and remove it.
4.Remove foreign bodies and fluff 
from the pump housing and from 
the pump wheel.
5.Check whether the pump wheel 
right at the back of the pump hous-
ing can turn. (If the wheel rotates 
with a jerky motion, this is normal.) 
If the pumping wheel cannot be 
turned, please contact your local 
Service Force Centre.
6.Insert the pump cover. Insert the 
guides at the sides of the cover into 
the guide slots and tighten the cov-
er by turning in a clockwise direc-
tion. 
7.Close off the emergency drain hose 
and place it in the retainer.
8.Close the plinth flap.
