• (1) for prewash
• (2) for main wash
• (3) for softener
• (*) in addition, there is siphon piece in the softener compartment.

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
• Never leave the detergent drawer open while the washing programme is running!
• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. „1“).
• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. „1“).
• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent cup into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. „2“).

Choosing the detergent type

The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of the fabric.

• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.

- When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.

- Wash woollens with special detergent made specifically for woollens.

WARNING: Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

WARNING: Do not use soap powder.

Adjusting detergent amount

The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.

• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes.

Using softeners

Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.

• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent drawer.

Using liquid detergents

If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:

- Place the liquid detergent cup in compartment nr. „2“.

- If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting in the detergent cup.

If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:

• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent.

Using gel and tablet detergent

• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. „2“) or directly into the drum before washing.

Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower part of the drum in future washings.

Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting the prewash function.

Using starch

• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the fabric dye into the softener compartment.
• Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.

Using bleaches

Programme selection

- Select a suitable programme from “Programme and Consumption Table” (see the Temperature table below). Consider the washing type, washing quantity and degree of soiling.

90 °C	Heavily soiled white cottons and linens. (coffee table covers, tablecloths, towels, bed sheets, etc.)
60 °C	Normally soiled, coloured, fade proof linens, cottons or synthetic clothes (shirt, nightgown, pajamas, etc.) and lightly soiled white linens (underwear, etc.)
40°C30 °C - Cold	Blended laundry including delicate textile (veil curtains, etc.), synthetics and woolens.

- Select the desired programme with the Programme Selection knob.

Programmes are limited with the highest spin speed appropriate for that particular type of fabric.

When selecting a programme, always consider the type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature.

Always select the lowest appropriate temperature. Higher temperature means higher electricity consumption.

Programmes

Use this programme for your cotton laundry (such as bed sheets, duvet and pillowcase sets, towels, bathrobes, underwear, etc.). Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a longer washing cycle.

Use to wash your synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). It washes with a gentle action and has a shorter washing cycle compared to the Cottons programme. For curtains and tulle, use the Synthetics 40°C programme with prewash and anti-creasing functions selected. As their meshed texture causes excessive foaming, wash the veils/tulle by putting little amount of detergent into the main wash compartment. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment.

- WoolProtect

Use to wash your woolen laundry. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the care labels of your clothes. Use appropriate detergents for woolens.

APPAREL CARE

• Buntwäsche Eco (Cotton Eco)

Use to wash your normally soiled, durable cotton and linen laundry. Although it washes longer than all other washing programmes, this programme ensures high power and water saving. Actual water temperature may be different from the specified wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry (e.g. 12 capacity or less), programme time may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water consumption will decrease further, providing a more economic wash. This programme is available in the models with the remaining time indicator.

- GentleCare

Use this programme to wash your delicate clothes. It washes with a gentle action without any interim spin compared to the Synthetics programme.

- HygieneCare

This is a long lasting programme which you may use for your laundry for which you require an anti-allergic and hygienic washing at high temperature with intensive and long washing cycle.

Use this programme to wash your delicate clothes. It washes with a gentle action without any interim spin compared to the Synthetics programme.

Use this programme to wash your woollen/delicate clothes that bear “not machine-washable” tags and for which hand wash is recommended. It washes laundry with a very gentle washing action to not to damage clothes.

- Mini 14 ^1

- Dunkles (DarkCare)

Use this programme to wash your dark coloured cotton and synthetic laundry or the laundry that you do not want it get faded. Washing is performed with gentle actions and at low temperatures. It is recommended to use liquid detergent or woolen shampoo for dark coloured laundry.

- Hemden (Shirts)

Use this programme to wash the cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended shirts together.

- AquaPerfect 40° / 40'

Use to wash your lightly soiled and unstained cotton laundry in a short time.

- Selbstreinigung (MachineCare)

Use regularly (once in every 1-2 months) to clean the drum and provide the required hygiene. Apply this procedure without any laundry in the product. To obtain better results, put powder limescale remover for washing machines into the detergent compartment “2”. When the programme is over, leave the loading door ajar so that the inside of the machine gets dry.

This is a maintenance programme, not a washing programme.

Do not run the programme when there is something in the machine. If you try to do so, the machine detects that there is a load inside and aborts the programme.

Special programmes

For specific applications, select any of the following programmes.

- Spülen (Rinsing)

Use when you want to rinse or starch separately.

• Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.
• Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend. If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter. In addition, prior to transporting the machine (e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.

WARNING: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.

WARNING: If the product is not in use, turn the tap off, detach the supply hose and drain the water inside the machine against any freezing possibility in the region of installation.

WARNING: After each use close the supply hose tap of the product.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

- Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
