Programme...

This washing machine has fully
electronic controls with automatic load
recognition. It takes in the right amount
of water required for the programme
depending on the amount of laundry
and its absorbency rate. This means
that programme cycles and durations
can vary.
The programme sequences outlined in
the chart are based on the basic
programme with a full load. Additional
options which can be selected have not
been taken into account.
The programme sequence display
shows the stage the programme has...

Washing
The figure quoted in the bucket is the
maximum temperature the garment
can be washed at. The number of
bars under the symbol indicate the
level of agitation permitted.
No bar under the symbol:
= normal agitation

One bar under the symbol:
= reduced agitation
Two bars under the symbol:
= much reduced agitation
Hand wash (if no temperature
is specified use the lowest
temperature or cold)
Do not wash
Drying
The number of dots indicates the
drying temperature

Cancelling a programme
You can cancel a programme at any
time after it has started.
Turn the programme selector to
Finish.
The programme has been cancelled
when theAnti-crease/Finishindicator
light comes on (this can take up to 30
seconds).
If you want to select a different
programme:
Switch the machine off and then back
on again with theI-On/0-Offbutton.
Check that there is still detergent in
the detergent drawer. Add detergent,
if necessary.
Select and start a new programme.
If you want to remove...

Adding or removing laundry
after a programme has started
Press theDoorbutton in until the
drum door springs open.
Add or remove items.
Close the door.
The programme will continue
automatically.
Please note:
Once a programme has started the
machine cannot recognise any
adjustment to the load.
For this reason, if laundry is added or
removed after the start of a programme,
the machine will always complete the
programme cycle assuming a full load
which can lead to an increase in the
programme duration...

The correct detergent
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable.
Use dispensing aids, e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets
are suitable for full loads but note that it may be impractical to reduce tablets for
smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as others and may not be
suitable for programmes with short durations.
Do not use biological detergents on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk!
Instructions for use and recommended...

The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
–The quantity of laundry.
–The soiling level of the laundry.
Lightly soiled
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly
slight body odour.
Normally soiled
Visibly dirty and/or just a few slight
stains.
Heavily soiled
Visible dirt and stains and/or dried on
soiling.
– The water hardness level.
Check with your local water supplier
if you do not know the hardness level
in your area.
Water softeners
A water softener can be used to cut
down on the use of...

Fabric conditioners and liquid
starch
Fabric conditioners make garments soft
to handle and help prevent static cling
when tumble drying.
Starch stiffens and gives body to items
of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and
bed linen.
Automatic dispensing of fabric
conditioner or liquid starch to
laundry at the end of a programme

Add the fabric conditioner or liquid
starch to compartment.Do not
exceed the maximum level mark.
