• when a programme is finished and the laundry can be unloaded

FAILURE: SERVICE

FAILURE: WATER FILTER CLOGGED

See section TROUBLESHOOTING for more information

FAILURE: WATER TAP CLOSED

DOSING AID / FIRST USE

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.

SAVE THE DOSING VALUES FOR THE DETERGENTS YOU USE

Detergent types: Colour Delicate Generic

Programmes: Colours Wool, Delicates All other programmes

Check on the packs of your detergents the dosing amount for medium soil level and medium 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.

1. Turn the knob to adjust the dosing value to the one you have identified before on the detergent pack. Afterwards confirm it by pressing the knob.

1. 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 confirm "rES" as described in step 3.

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:

1. Press and hold the Programme button and the Dosing Aid button simultaneously.

"1" appears on the display, which means water level "soft".

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

2 = Medium

3 = Hard

and press the knob to confirm. As soon as you confirm the water hardness setting, you automatically exit the water hardness setting mode.

DOSING AID / DAILY USE

1. After you have selected programme and options, press the "Dosing Aid" button; the Dosing aid symbol lights up on the display.

1. 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.

1. 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.

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).

1. Close the detergent dispenser (or the door) and press "Start/Pause" to continue the programme.

SAVING TIPS

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.

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.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off

and unplug the washing machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WASHING MACHINE
