• Mix large and small items of laundry. Laundry items of different sizes distribute themselves better during the spin cycle.
• Do not press laundry into the drum with the drum flaps.

Mechanical component diagram showing a lever mechanism with red arrows indicating motion direction (no text or symbols)

1. To close, place both drum flaps over the drum opening, with the rear one on top of the front one, then push them both down gently until the locking mechanism engages.

i - Make sure that the drum flaps lock correctly: the metal hook must engage fully; the slide must protrude slightly over the rear drum flap.

- Do not trap any laundry between the flap and the drum.

1. Select the programme. Select the programme with additional functions according to the programme table. Set the temperature and spin speed.

4. Detergents and care products

1. The detergent that should be selected depends on:

2. Fabric type

3. Fabric colour
4. Washing temperature
5. Type and degree of soiling

i – Do not use liquid detergent if the "Startverzögerung" (Delay start) function is set.

• Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash if the "Vorwäsche" (Pre-wash) additional function has been selected.
• Only use detergent and care products for domestic washing machines.

• Dilute thick fabric softener and conditioner with a little water.

• Measure accordingly:

• Manufacturer's instructions

• Type and degree of soiling
• Water hardness (ask your water supply company)
• Size of load (half load = 3/4 dosage, minimum load = 1/2 dosage)

i – Using too much detergent results in increased foaming and has an adverse effect on the cleaning action.

• Using too little detergent causes the laundry to turn grey and results in limescale build-up.

• Add highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents directly to the drum.

• To add detergent and care products:

• Do not fill the detergent or care product over the "MAX" mark.

• For programmes without a pre-wash and with temperatures between cold and 40 °C, you should use liquid detergent. Likewise if "Startverzögerung" (Delay start) is not activated. This prevents detergent residues.

Problem Cause/Remedial action/Suggestions
The machine will not start; no displays light up	- Is the plug plugged in?- Is the socket faulty? Does it contain a fuse?
The appliance does not start when Start/Pause is pressed	- Is the lid closed properly?- Is the button lock activated? To unlock it, press and hold the two buttons with the key symbol at the same time for at least 3 seconds. The key symbol goes out in the display.
Washing machine stops during a programme, Start/Pause display flashes	- Is rinse hold activated? Press Start/Pause or start draining to end the programme.- The programme has been changed. Reselect the programme and start it.- Was the programme interrupted and the lid opened? Close the lid and restart the programme.- Are any fault displays lit up?- Check the water supply and hose.
Remains of detergent in the detergent dispenser after washing	- Is the detergent dispenser inserted correctly?- Is the filter in the supply hose blocked?
Intense noise, vibrations and "wandering" during spinning.	- Is the washing machine level? Has it been installed correctly?- Transportation safety device removed?
Spin result not satisfactory.Laundry wet/too damp.	The appliance has an unbalanced load detection system. If it has been loaded with heavy individual items (e.g. a bathrobe), the spin speed is automatically reduced to protect the machine. If necessary, the spin cycle is stopped (see also the "Imbalance during spinning" section below).- Add some light items of laundry and repeat the spin programme.- Excessive foaming can prevent spinning. Start "Spülen und Schleudern" (Rinse and spin). Avoid using excessive quantities of detergent.- Has a low spin speed been set?

Problem Cause/Remedial action/Suggestions

Programme duration longer/shorter than originally displayed/ specified.

Not a fault.The washing machine adapts the programme duration accordingly based on factors such as excessive foaming, load imbalance due to heavy items of laundry, longer heating time due to lower supply water temperature, etc.

"Unwucht beim Schleudern" (Imbalance during spin- ning)The spin indicator in the programme se-quence display flashes or the spin speed flashes in the display once the pro-gramme has ended (depending on the model). The laundry is still very damp.

A laundry load imbalance during spinning has caused the spin cy-cle to be cancelled to protect the washing machine. The cause could be a small load that consists of just a few absorbent items (e.g. towels) or large/heavy items of laundry.- If possible, avoid washing small loads.- If possible, add a few more items of various sizes if you are washing a large or heavy item of laundry.If you want to spin the wet laundry: Add several items of laundry of various sizes and start the "Spülen & Schleudern" (Rinse & spin) programme.

Flashing fault display	Contents of display (if present)	Cause/remedial action
Wasserhahn zu (Tap closed)		No water supply, or water supply insufficient.- Tap off/not turned on fully,- Supply hose kinked/trapped- Water pressure too low. Clean the filter.- For models with an Aqua-Stop hose: if the colour in the inspection window of the safety valve is red, replace the hose.
Pumpe reinigen (Clean pump)		The water is not emptied.- Detergent solution pump blocked. Clean the filter.- Drain hose/waste pipe blocked. Clean the drain hose at the siphon.Once the fault has been rectified, start the Abpumpen (drain) programme or press and hold the Löschen (Clear) button for at least 3 seconds.

Optimum water pressure in the supply network: 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar)

When the tap is open, the water flow is at least 8 l/min.

If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

1. Connect the water supply hose.

Caution!

The thread on the screw connection may be damaged

If the screw connections are tightened too much with a tool (pliers), the thread may be damaged.

Only tighten the screw connections by hand.
