⚠ WARNING – Risk of suffocation!

Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate.

  • Keep small parts away from children.
    ▶ Do not let children play with small parts.

⚠ WARNING – Risk of poisoning!

Detergents and care products may result in poisoning if consumed.

▶ If accidentally swallowed, seek medical advice.

2 Preventing material damage

Follow these instructions to avoid material damage and damage to the appliance.

ATTENTION!

The functionality of the appliance may be impaired if you use the wrong quantity of fabric softener, detergent, care product or cleaning agent.

▶ Follow the dosage recommendations from the manufacturer.

Exceeding the maximum load capacity impairs the function of the appliance.

- Observe the maximum load capacity for each programme and do not exceed it.

→ "Programmes", Page 26

The appliance is secured for transportation using transit bolts. Transit bolts which have not been removed may result in material damage and damage to the appliance.

▶ Before starting up the appliance, remove the transit bolts completely and keep them in a safe place.
▶ Before transport, fit the transit bolts fully in order to prevent damage in transit.

Material damage may be caused if the water inlet hose is connected incorrectly.

  • Tighten the screw connections on the water inlet until they are hand-tight.
  • Ideally, connect the water inlet hose directly to the water tap, without any additional connecting elements such as adapters, extensions, valves or similar.

▶ Make sure that the valve housing for the water inlet hose does not come into contact with its surroundings and is not subjected to any external forces.
- Ensure that the inner diameter of the water tap is at least 17 mm.
▶ Make sure that the length of the thread on the connection to the water tap is at least 10 mm.

If the water pressure is too high or too low, the appliance may not be able to operate properly.

  • Ensure that the water pressure in the water supply system is at least 100 kPa (1 bar) and max. 1000 kPa (10 bar).
  • If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value specified, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the hose set of the appliance.
  • Do not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-water boiler.

Modified or damaged water hoses may result in material damage and damage to the appliance.

▶ Never kink, crush, modify or cut through water hoses.
▶ Only use the water hoses supplied with the appliance or genuine spare hoses.
▶ Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.

Operating the appliance using water that is dirty or too hot may lead to material damage and damage to the appliance.

▶ Only operate the appliance with cold mains water.

Unsuitable cleaning products may damage the surfaces of the appliance.

- Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.

  • Do not use cleaning products with a high alcohol content.
  • Do not use hard scouring pads or cleaning sponges.
  • Clean the appliance with nothing but water and a soft, damp cloth.
  • Remove all detergent residue, spray residue or other residues immediately if they come into contact with the appliance.

3 Environmental protection and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

- Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Save energy and conserve resources

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.

Choose programmes with low temperatures and longer wash times and use maximum load capacity.

√ Energy consumption and water consumption is most efficient.

Use the economy programme settings.

√ If you adjust the programme settings for a programme, the display shows the expected consumption.

Add detergent based on the laundry's degree of soiling.

√ For light to normal soiling, a smaller amount of detergent is sufficient. Observe the dosage recommendation from the detergent manufacturer.

Reduce the washing temperature for lightly and normally soiled laundry.

√ At lower temperatures, the appliance consumes less energy. For light to normal soiling, lower temperatures than indicated on the care label are also sufficient.

Set the maximum spin speed if you want to dry the laundry in the tumble dryer afterwards.

√ The drier the laundry, the shorter the programme duration when drying which, in turn, reduces energy consumption. A higher spin speed reduces the residual moisture in the laundry and increases the volume of the spin noise.

Wash the laundry without prewash.

√ Washing with prewash increases the programme duration and increases energy and water consumption.

The appliance has a continuous automatic load adjustment function.

√ Depending on the type of fabric and load capacity, the continuous automatic load adjustment function optimally adjusts the water consumption and programme duration.

The appliance comes with an Aqua-Sensor.

√ During the rinse cycle, the Aqua-Sensor checks the degree of turbidity of the rinsing water, and adjusts the duration and number of rinse cycles accordingly.

3.3 Energy saving mode

If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, it automatically switches to energy-saving mode. Energy-saving mode ends when you use the appliance again. If you do not continue operating the appliance, it switches off.

Note: If Wi-Fi is activated, the appliance will not switch itself off automatically.

4 Installation and connection

4.1 Unpacking the appliance
