in the factory and there will be some
residual water in the drum from this
process.
For safety reasons, spinning is not
possible until the machine has been
prepared for using for the first time. To

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...

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!

Switch on the washing machine

Load the drum
Press theDoorbutton to open the
drum door.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely
in the drum. Mixing both large and
small items gives better wash results
and also helps distribute the load
evenly during spinning.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this causes creases and reduces
cleaning efficiency.
Make sure that no garments are
caught between the drum door and
seal.

Shut the door...

–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.
– Higher water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
–...

Start the programme
Press the flashingStart/Stopbutton.
The estimated programme duration will

absorbency rate.
The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The washing
machine shows you when each section
of the programme is reached.
