Setting the time
So that the time and the end of the programme are correctly displayed, 
please check the display and set the current time if necessary. To do 
this, please see the section “Setup/Clock”.
Carrying out a wash programme prior to first use
In order to remove any residues from the drum and water container 
which may have been left during manufacturing, perform the first 
wash cycle without any washing in the machine. Programme: LINEN/
EASY CARES 60 °C, option Time Saving: VERY SHORT, use approx. 1/4  
measuring cup of detergent.
Preparing and sorting washing
Preparing washing
Empty the pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e.g. coins, paper clips, 
nails, etc.).
Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing.
Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a 
bag.
Wash delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains, 
tights, small socks, handkerchiefs, bras.
Important: Bras and other items containing wires should only be 
washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appli-
ance.
Sorting washing
By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can 
run. 
By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.
Important: Do not wash fabrics with the G care symbol (= do not 
wash!) in the washing machine.

Running a wash cycle
Opening the door/Loading the washing
1.To open the door: pull the handle on the door.
2.Unfold washing and load it loosely 
into the machine. Mix large and 
small items.
Attention! Do not get any washing 
caught between the door and the 
rubber seal.  
3.Push the door firmly shut. Door 
catch must audibly click shut.
Adding detergent  / conditioner
Important: Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use 
in household washing machines.
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/condi-
tioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packag-
ing.
The amount of detergent used depends on:
–the degree of soiling,
–the load size
–the hardness of the tap water. 
If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with re-
gard to small volumes of washing: For a half-load use a third less, and 
for a very small load use only the half the amount of detergent that 
is recommended for a full load.
Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-
um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for 
hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you 
with information about water hardness in your area.
1.Pull out the detergent drawer as far as it will go.
2.Add the detergent/conditioner.
3.Push the detergent drawer in fully.
 
						

							13
Washing powder/tablets for the main wash cycle 
If you are using water softener and require the right compartment for 
detergent for the pre-wash cycle, add the water softener on top of the 
detergent for the main wash cycle in the left compartment.
Softener, wash-care products to preserve the shape of garments, 
starch 
Fill the compartment to no more than the MAX indicator. Add water to 
thick liquid concentrates in accordance with the manufacturer’s in-
structions before using them. Dissolve powder starch.
If you are using liquid detergent: 
Add liquid detergent using measuring containers provided by the de-
tergent manufacturer.
Switching on the appliance/selecting a programme
 Select the programme using 
the programme knob, e. g., 
LINEN/EASY CARES.
3When you select a pro-
gramme, you switch the ap-
pliance on at the same time.
–The display lights up and 
shows the programme set, 
the current time and the 
estimated end of the cycle.
–Depending on the programme, the washing machine suggests a tem-
perature and a spin speed. You can change these suggestions.
–The lighting for the display switches itself off at the end of the cycle 
or, if the appliance is not started after the programme is set, after 10 
minutes. To switch the light on again, press any key or turn the pro-
gramme knob.

Changing spin speed/selecting rinse hold
 Press the RPM key repeated-
ly, until the desired spin 
speed or  RINSE HOLD is 
displayed.
3With spin speed “0” the 
last rinse water is drained 
off at the end of the cycle, 
but the washing is not 
spun.
With  RINSE HOLD the washing is left to soak in the last rinse wa-
ter. There is no final spin after the intermediate spin(s). Intermediate 
spins are programme-dependent and cannot be altered.

Setting options
Options can be added to a wash cycle that has already been selected.
Press the OPTIONS key. The display shows the symbols for the options.
3Only the options that can be combined with the cycle that has already 
been set are shown in the display. 
 PREWASH
Pre-washes at about 30 °C before the main wash cycle, which 
follows automatically.
SENSITIVE
Enhanced rinse action through an additional rinse cycle togeth-
er with decreased drum movement (improved fabric care). Ideal 
when frequent washes are necessary, e. g. in cases of over-sensi-
tive skin. An additional rinse cycle can also be permanently set 
(see section “Setup”).
STAIN
For heavily soiled or stained washing. In-wash stain treatment 
products are washed in at the optimum time as the programme 
progresses.
NIGHT CYCLE
The washing is left to soak in the final rinse water. There is no fi-
nal spin and no intermediate spin. Because of this the pro-
gramme runs very quietly. NIGHT CYCLE is therefore particularly 
suitable if you want to wash at night.
Setup
The special functions that can be set under Setup remain per-
manently stored in the appliance, e. g., time, language, etc. (see 
section “Setup”), until they are changed or deactivated.
