3If settings are not undertak-
en for several seconds during 
the programme setting proc-
ess or when loading with 
laundry, the following indi-
cators appear on the display 
when the machine door is 
open:
–the maximum permissible load for the selected programme,
– and the actual loading in 0.5 kg steps.  This is also displayed by the lit-
tle filled boxes (loads of less than 0.5 kg are not displayed).
If too much laundry has been loaded  into the machine, the indicator 
OVERLOAD appears in the display. Pl ease remove the relevant amount

Adding detergent / additives
Important: Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use 
in domestic washing machines.
1For USA and Canada only! 
Important!  Only LOW-SUDSING detergent suitable for a front-loading 
washing machine can be used in this  machine. This machine can heat 
the water up to 95 degrees celsius,  or 200 degrees fahrenheit, and care 
should be taken to ensure that th e correct washing powder is used. If 
you have any doubt, check with yo ur dealer or the distributor.
WARRANTY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DA MAGES ARE VOIDED IF A LOW 
SUDSING DETERGENT IS NOT USED.
Dose detergent and additives accordin g to the instructions of the de-
tergent and additive manufacturers.  Follow the instructions on the 
packaging.
Dosing depends upon:
– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the size of the load
– the degree of hardness of the water supply. 
 If the manufacturer does not give in structions for small loads: for a 
half load, use a third less, for a very small load, use only half of the 
detergent that is recommended for a full load.
 From water hardness 2 (= medium) upwards, water softener should 
be used. Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness 1 
(= soft). Your local water company will be able to give you informa-
tion about the water hardness in your area.
1. Pull the detergent dispenser drawer out as far as the stop.
2. Add the detergent/additives.
3. Push the drawer in fully.

Washing powder/tablets for the main wash 
If you are using water softener and need the right-hand compartment 
for the pre-wash detergent, add the water softener to the main wash 
detergent in the left-hand compartment.
Softeners, wash-care products to pr eserve the shape of garments, 
starch  
Do not fill the compartment beyond  the MAX mark. Dilute thick liquid 
concentrates according to the manu facturer’s instructions before 
putting them into the drawer. Dissolve powder starches.
If you use liquid detergents:  
Add liquid detergent using the dosage container provided by the deter-
gent manufacturer and place  on top of the washing drum.
Switching on the appliance/selecting a program
 Select the program using the 
program knob, e.g., LINEN/
EASY-CARES.
3By selecting a program, you 
switch the appliance on at 
the same time.
–The display lights up and 
shows the program set, the 
current time and the esti-
mated end of the cycle.
– Depending on the program, the wash ing machine suggests a temper-
ature 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 program is set, after 
10 minutes. To switch the light on  again, press any key or turn the 
program knob.
– Before switching the appliance on, ma ke sure that the drum is empty. 
If you do not, the washing will su bsequently not be registered prop-
erly by the load sensor.

Changing the temperature
 Press the TEMP. key repeated-
ly until the desired temperature 
is displayed.
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.
PREWASH
Pre-washes at about 30 °C before the main wash cycle, which 
follows automatically.
SENSITIVE

er with decreased drum movement (improved fabric care).  This 
is ideal when frequent washes are necessary, for example, in 
cases of highly sensitive skin. An  additional rinse cycle can also 
be permanently set (see section “Setup”).

nal spin and no intermediate spin. Because of this the program 
runs very quietly. NIGHT CYCLE is  therefore particularly suitable 
if you want to wash at night.

manently stored in the appliance,  e. g., time, language, etc. (see
