and outlet, as well as near a properly grounded
power socket.
•Place the appliance so that all controls are easily
to reach and the appliance door can open without

The safety system consists of a double-walled inlet
hose. This system guarantees to cut off the water
supply when leakage of the inner hose. Switching off
the water supply leads over an electronic contact.
If necessary, you can order an inlet hose safety sys-
tem from your dealer or in our online accessories

•Do not wash any items that are declared as non-
washable. Follow always the instructions on the
care label of your laundry.
•Do not wash clothes soaked in petrol, thinners,
alcohol or solvents.
•Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins) can cause
damage to garments and components.
•Check the pockets of all garments on content and
empty them completely.
•Sort your fabrics by color and the symbols con-
tained on the care label. Separate white and col-
ored laundry. All new colored clothes should be
washed separately.
•Turn buttons and embroidery inside.

•Close zippers, buttons and hooks before washing.
Tie any loose straps and loops.
•We recommend washing bras in a pillowcase to
prevent leakage of the steel bracket.
•Particularly delicate fabrics such as curtains, cro-
chet or small items (socks, handkerchiefs, neck-
ties, etc.) should be washed in a closed bag.
•Remove always all the hooks from curtains.
•Washing large and heavy parts such as bath tow-
els, jeans, lined jackets and the like can cause the
drum to run unbalanced. We recommend adding
one or two smaller parts; this especially helps with
the spinning cycle.
•The clothes which easily get fuzzed shall be
washed separately; otherwise the other articles
can be stained with dust and thrum etc. Prefera-
bly, black clothes and cotton clothes shall be
washed separately because they can easily get
stained with the thrums of other colors when be-
ing washed together.
•Clean away dusts, stains and pet hairs from the
clothes.
•For spot removing heavy soiling the laundry can
be treated with a special prewash spray.

WARNING:
Keep detergent and additives out of reach for chil-

•Use only “slightly foaming” detergent for washing
machines according to type of fabric (cotton, syn-
thetics, lined or woolen products), color, washing
temperature and degree of soiling. Otherwise
foaming can cause overflowing.
•Bleach is alkaline and can damage your clothing,
preferably does not use bleach.
•Detergents often leave residue in the clothes,
which can cause bad odor if not rinsed properly.
•Detergent cannot easily get dissolved completely
if there is too much detergent or water tempera-
ture is rather low. It can remain in clothes, pipes
and washing machines to pollute the clothes.
•Washing shall follow the weight of clothes, dirty
degrees, local water hardness as well as the rec-
ommendations from the detergent manufacturers.
Consult the water company if you are not clear of
water hardness.

1)A+++ (highest efficiency) to D (lowest efficiency).
2)Weighted annual energy consumption in kWh per year based on 220 standard washing cycles for cotton programs at 60°C and 40°C at full and partial
load, and the consumption of the low-power modes. Actual energy consumption will depend on how the appliance is used.
3)Weighted annual water consumption in liters per year based on 220 standard washing cycles for cotton programs at 60°C and 40°C at full and partial load.
Actual water consumption will depend on how the appliance is used.
4)G (lowest efficiency) to A (highest efficiency).
5)The standard 60°C cotton and the standard 40°C cotton program are the standard washing program. These programs are suitable to clean normally soiled
cotton laundry and that they are the most efficient programs in terms of combined energy and water consumption.
This appliance has been tested according to all relevant current CE guidelines, such as electromagnetic com-
patibility and low voltage directives, and has been constructed in accordance with the latest safety regulations.
