To enable this function to calculate the detergent amount as precisely as possible, adapt the washing machine to the dosing values of the detergents you use, and also to your local water hardness. Check on the packs of your detergents the dosing amount for medium soil level and medium water hardness Water hardness soil level soft medium hard light medium ml heavy Detergent types: Colour Delicate Generic Programmes: Colours Wool, Delicates All other programmes201

1. Press and hold the Programme button and the

Dosing Aid button simultaneously. “1” appears on the display, which means water level “soft”.

2. Turn the knob to adjust the water level to.

2 = Medium 3 = Hard and press the knob to conrm. As soon as you conrm the water hardness setting, you automatically exit the water hardness setting mode.

The washing machine comes with preset water hardness level soft. Check your regional water hardness level, for example by consulting your local authorities or via internet. – If your local water hardness is not “soft”, adjust the washing machine as follows: To adjust the water hardness: To save these values in the washing machine:

1. Select the programme for which you

want to save the detergent value.

2. Press and hold the Dosing Aid button until

the bottle symbol on the display lights up. The indicators of all programmes for the detergent group light up.

to the one you have identied before on the detergent pack. Afterwards conrm it by pressing the knob.

4. Do this procedure for all three programme

groups. It is enough if you save the dosing value for one programme per group – it will then be automatically saved for all other programmes of this group. To return to the factory settings: select and conrm “rES” as described in step 3.202 Instead of adding detergent to the detergent dispenser, it can also be added directly to the drum, in a detergent ball. For programmes with prewash: prewash detergent can be added to the drum, main wash detergent must be added to the main wash compartment of the detergent dispenser. Use powder detergent for the main wash in this case, to ensure that it stays in the detergent dispenser until start of the main wash phase. After having added detergent, close the detergent dispenser (or door).

4. Close the detergent dispenser (or the

door) and press “Start/Pause” to continue the programme.

1. After you have selected programme and

options, press the “Dosing Aid” button; the Dosing aid symbol lights up on the display.

2. Then start the programme by pressing

“Start/Pause”. – The drum rotates to detect the laundry load, while the display shows an animation. Afterwards the display indicates the recommended detergent amount in ml.

3. Pull out the detergent dispenser and

pour the detergent quantity which is indicated on the display into the main wash compartment of the detergent dispenser. If you have selected “Prewash” option and you want to add detergent also for the prewash, pour half of the indicated detergent amount into the prewash compartment, in addition to the full amount which you have already added to the main wash compartment.

Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size for the programmes, as indicated in the programme chart. Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated in the detergents manufacturer’s instructions. Use the Dosing Aid function; prepare this function as indicated in “DOSING AID / FIRST USE”. Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only. Pretreat stains with stain remover, or soak dried in stains in water before washing, to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. SAVING TIPS Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 95°C wash programme, or a 40°C instead of a 60°C wash programme. For cotton laundry, prefer using programme Eco Cotton with 40°C or 60°C. Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in the laundry before using a tumble dryer. Use option “Colours 15°” for lightly soiled laundry, to save energy for water heating.204 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE

OF THE WASHING MACHINE

Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine.Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar to clean the control panel – these substances might damage the printing.

Spin speed “0” blinks on control panel and/or laundry still very wet Unbalance of laundry load prevented spin cycle, to protect the washing machine If you want to spin the wet laundry, add more laundry items of dierent sizes and start “Rinse&Spin” programme. Avoid small laundry loads consisting of few big, absorbent pieces of laundry / wash dierent sizes of articles in one load These failures are frequently so minor that they can be removed within a few minutes.212

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Spin result poor Spin button was set to a low spin speed. Select and start “Spin” programme with a higher spin speed (if selectable). Unbalance during spinning prevented nal spin cycle. See line above. Excessive foam formation prevented spinning. Start “Rinse&Spin” programme. Avoid excessive detergent dosing. Adjust and use the Dosing Aid function. Detergent residues on laundry after wash Too much powder detergent used / quality of detergent. Avoid detergent overdosing Brush out the fabric. Use “Intensive Rinse” option (if selectable). Use liquid detergent / use special detergent for black or dark laundry. Washing machine stands still during programme / programme seems not to proceed / during standstill, animation may appear on display Programme phases without drum movement. Standstill phases lasting up to about 2 minutes are normal in some wash programmes. Excessive foam formation (maybe by overdosage of detergent) interrupted the programme. Can be repeated several times until the foam reduction is sucient. The programme continues automatically, as soon as the foam reduction is sucient. If display shows Fod (=failure overdosage), refer to table FAILURE INDICATORS AND MESSAGES. Under- or overvoltage of mains might be detected. Programme will automatically continue as soon as the mains voltage is in the proper range. Programme duration is longer or shorter as initially indicated on the display / in the programme chart. Washing machine adapts to factors having an eect on duration, such as size of laundry load, excessive foam formation, load unbalance, prolonged heating time due to low inlet water temperature etc.. When programme duration is recalculated, an animation appears on the display. Avoid small laundry loads with absorbent, big pieces of laundry / add articles of dierent sizes. Avoid detergent overdosing – respect the dosing recommendations of the detergent manufacturer. Adjust and use the Dosing Aid function. Door is locked, with or without failure indication, and the programme does not run. Door is locked in case of power breakdown. Programme will continue automatically as soon as the mains is available again. Washing machine is in a standstill (as described in previous section “Washing machine stands still…). Programme will continue automatically after the origin of the standstill does not persist anymore. Water level or temperature too high, or electrical component failure.
