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

detergent required. To allow the load size indicator to
function correctly, you must first run a wash programme
without any laundry
and without detergent.

							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 theDetergent
sub-menu.
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.

							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.
Removing marks
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 manufacturers
instructions. With particularly stubborn
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
If you use a solvent-based
cleaning agent (e.g. one containing
benzene) 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 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.
–
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)
