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.
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 selection of detergent and perhaps use 
liquid detergent instead.
The door cannot be opened 
when the appliance is 
switched on.
Door locked. Wait until the display alternate-
ly shows “Door unlocked” and 
“Cycle ended”. 
There has been a power 
cut. (All displays are off.)
For safety reasons, the 
door will remain locked 
for between 4 and 10 
minutes.The programme will continue 
when the power cut is over.
To remove washing:
If water can be seen in the ap-
pliance, before opening the 
door, first perform an emergen-
cy drain.
Washing is heavily creased.Possibly too much 
washing was loaded.Observe maximum loads.

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.

be hot. There is a risk of scalding. Let the water cool before performing 
an emergency drain!

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.

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.
