Important information
Before washing for the first time
Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the tap on. Pour into compartment II:
approx. 1 litre water
 detergent (dosage according to the manufacturer's instructions for light soiling and according to water hardness)
Set programme selector to Easy-Care 60 °C and press $Start/Reload. At the end of the programme, turn the
programme selector to Off.
Protecting the laundry and the machine
 When determining the dosage of all washing powders, additives and cleaning agents, you must follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
 Empty pockets.
 Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.).
 Wash delicates in a laundry bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).
 Fasten zips, do up any buttons.
 Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
 Remove curtain fittings or place in the laundry bag.
Load laundry
For optimum spin behaviour, load large and small items of laundry together.
 Individual items may lead to considerable imbalances.
Take care not to trap items of laundry between the washing machine door and the rubber seal.
Soaking Load laundry of the same colour.
Pour soaking agent/detergent into compartment II in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Turn the
programme selector to LCottons 30 °C and press $Start/Reload. After approx. 10 minutes, press
$Start/Reload to stop the programme. Once the required soaking time has elapsed, press $Start/Reload again
to continue the programme, or select a different programme.
Starching Laundry must not be treated with fabric softener
Starching is possible in all wash programmes if liquid starch is used. Pour starch into the ~fabric softener
compartment in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (rinse first if necessary).
Dyeing/bleaching
Dye should only be used in normal household quantities. Salt may damage stainless steel. Always follow the dye
manufacturer's instructions. Do not use the washing machine for bleaching clothes.
Load display
The load sensor detects how heavily the washing machine is loaded. The laundry is not weighed.
Recommended dosage
Based on the selected programme and the detected load, the recommended dosage function provides a
recommendation for the detergent dosage in %. The % figure refers to the recommendation of the detergent
manufacturer.
Load adjust
Independently of the load display, the automatic load sensing function uses additional sensors to adapt the water and
power consumption ideally to each programme, depending on the type of fabric and the load.
