sensoFresh

sensoFresh ❖ is an innovative programme that is designed to refresh laundry and remove odours (e.g. the smell of cigarettes and kitchen odours). Sweaty fabrics must be washed.

In this programme, your laundry is treated with active oxygen and water mist; detergent is not added.

Active oxygen is a special type of oxygen which effectively reduces odours.

The programme is suitable for all types of material and fabric, even for those which should only be professionally cleaned.

Once the programme has started, the drum inside the appliance lights up and the mist that is created can be seen.

Once the programme has finished, take the laundry out of the drum and shake it out briefly.

Notes

Leave the door and detergent drawer open slightly when the appliance is not in use. → Page 37
■ The active oxygen treatment is less effective if the drum is dirty. Run the ⚙Drum Clean ✿ programme regularly.
- It is not possible to add laundry once the programme has started.
If you cancel the programme or switch to a different one, the door will remain locked until there is no longer any active oxygen in the drum. This make take up to 25 minutes. The two symbols 📋 and ⚙️ will flash during this time. The door will then unlock automatically.

Starching

Note: Laundry should not be treated with fabric softener.

Liquid starch can be used to stiffen fabrics particularly in the Rinse and Cottons programmes. Measure starch into compartment ✿ in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (clean first if necessary).

Faults and what to do about them.

Emergency release

E.g. in the event of a power cut The programme continues when the power supply is restored.

However, if the laundry has to be removed, the washing machine door can be opened as follows:

Warning

Risk of scalding!

When you are washing at high temperatures, there is a risk of scalding if you come into contact with hot detergent solution and laundry. If possible, leave it to cool down first.

Warning

Risk of injury!

Reaching into the drum while it is still turning may cause hand injuries. Do not reach into the drum when it is turning. Wait until the drum has stopped turning.

Warning

Irritation of the respiratory tract!

Any active oxygen that is emitted may irritate the mucosa and cause eyes to water. Do not open the door using the emergency release if a programme is running with active oxygen. Wait until there is no active oxygen in the drum.

Caution!

Water damage

Any escaping water may cause water damage. Do not open the washing machine door if water can be seen through the glass.

1. Switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug.

2. Drain the water . → Page 37

3. Use a tool to pull the emergency release downwards and then release. The washing machine door can then be opened.

Faults and what to do about them.

Faults Cause/remedy
Water is leaking from the machine.	■ Attach the drain hose correctly or replace it.■ Tighten the threaded joint on the supply hose.
Water not flowing in. Detergent is not being dispensed.	■ Will the programme start?■ Is the tap turned on?■ Could the filter be clogged? Clean the filter.→ Page 39■ Is the supply hose kinked or trapped?
The door cannot be opened.	■ The safety function is active. Do you want to stop the programme? → Page 34■ Have you selected ∽ (Rinse Stop = no final spin)? → Page 34■ Can the door only be opened by the emergency release? → Page 39■ If you switch to a different programme, the door will remain locked for a short time until there is no longer any active oxygen in the drum.
The programme will not start.	■ Have you started the programme or selected Finish in-time?■ Is the door closed?■ Is the childproof lock activated? Deactivate. → Page 33
The drum briefly jerks or judders after the programme has started.	Not a fault – the internal motor test may cause the drum to jerk or judder briefly when the wash programme starts.
The washing water is not draining.	■ Have you selected ∽ (Rinse Stop = no final spin)? → Page 34■ Clean the drain pump. → Page 37■ Clean the drain pipe and/or the drain hose.
Water is not visible in the drum.	Not a fault – the water is below the visible area.
The spin result is not satisfactory.Laundry wet/too damp.	Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system has interrupted the spin cycle because the laundry is unevenly distributed.Distribute small and large items of laundry evenly in the drum.Is Less iron selected? → Page 30Is the selected speed too low?
The appliance restarts the spin cycle several times.	Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system is adjusting an imbalance.
The programme is taking longer than usual.	Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system is adjusting an imbalance by repeatedly redistributing the laundry.Not a fault – the foam detection system is active – a rinse cycle has been activated.
The length of the programme changes during the wash cycle.	Not a fault – the programme sequence is optimised for the specific washing process. This may change the length of the programme shown on the display panel.
Water remaining in the care product compartment ⚙.	Not a fault – the effectiveness of the care product is not affected.Clean the insert if necessary.
Odours in the washing machine.	Run the Drum Clean or Cottons 90 °C programme without laundry.Add standard washing powder or a detergent that contains bleach.Note: To prevent foaming, only use half the amount of detergent recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Do not use detergents that are intended for wool or delicates.
The indicator has lit up in the touch display. Foam may also be leaking from the detergent drawer.	Have you used too much detergent?Mix one tablespoon of fabric softener with half a litre of water and pour it into compartment II (not suitable for outdoor clothing, sportswear or items made with down).Use less detergent for the next wash cycle.
