							Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection". Also
check that the drain filter is securely
tightened to prevent the risk of water
leaks during use.
This washing machine has
undergone a thorough functional test
in the factory and there will be some
residual water in the drum from this
process.
The washing machine has a sensor
which measures the amount of laundry
in the drum. This determines the
amount of detergent required. To allow
the load size indicator to function
correctly, you must first run a wash
programme without any laundry

							Energy and water consumption
–Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
–Use theAutomaticandExpress
programmes for small loads.
–When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed using theCottons
programme, the automatic load
recognition system will reduce the
amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the time
left shown in the display is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Using theCottons 60°Cprogramme
instead of theCottons 95°C
programme will give energy savings
of between 35% and 45%. This is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
For stubborn or old stains, use the
Soakextra option.Detergent
–Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
–Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
–Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads. Use theLoad/
Detergentbutton.
Choosing the correct Extra option
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Shortextra option for light to normal
soilingwhere there are no obvious
marks.
– A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soakextra option for heavily soiled
laundry.
–
ThePre-washextra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt(e.g. dust,
sand).
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.

							Brief instructions
The headings numbered,,
,...
show the operating sequence and can
be used as brief instructions.
Sort the laundry
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to garments and
components in the machine.

Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated
with liquid detergent, stain removers
etc. first, following the manufacturer's
instructions. With particularly stubborn
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
If you use a solvent-based clean
-
ing agent (e.g. one containing ben
-
zene) to pre-treat a stain, make sure
that any plastic parts (e.g. buttons)
are protected, and that the cleaning
agent is rinsed off before washing the
garment in the machine.
Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in or on this machine.
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times before being included in
a mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
–
Underwiring and collar stiffeners:
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
–
Knitted garments, trousers and
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn
inside out, if recommended by the
manufacturer.
–
Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
–
Fasten duvet covers etc. to prevent
small items from being rolled up
inside them.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer asnot washableon the
care label. (symbol)

Detergent 75%
Back
The percentage shown relates to the
amount of detergent recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
40%= Add slightly less than half
the amount recommended
50%= Add half the amount
recommended
60%= Add slightly more than half
the amount recommended
75%= Add three quarters of
the amount recommended
100%= the full amount of detergent
recommended
You also need to take the level of
soiling and water hardness into
account.It is important to dispense the correct
amount because...
. . . too little detergent results in:
–Laundry not getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
–Greasy particles clinging to the
laundry.
–Limescale deposits on the heater
elements.
. . . too much detergent results in:
–Excessive foam which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
– High water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
– A burden to the environment.
