Operation Overview
Using the Appliance
Before the first wash, select the Cotton wash
programme and add a half amount of the detergent.
Start the appliance without laundry. This will remove
possible residues and water from the drum that may
have been left during manufacturing.
1 Sort laundry and load items.
•Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, colour
and load size as needed. Open the door and
load items into the appliance.
2 Add detergent or softener.
•Add the proper amount of detergent to the
detergent dispenser drawer. If desired, add
bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate
areas of the dispenser.
3 Turn on the appliance.
•Press the Power button to turn on the
appliance.
4 Choose the desired cycle.
•Press the cycle button repeatedly or turn the
cycle selector knob until the desired cycle is
selected.
•Now select a wash temperature and spin
speed. Pay attention to the care labeling of
your clothes.
5 Begin cycle.
•Press the Start/Pause button to begin the
cycle. The appliance will agitate briefly
without water to measure the weight of the
load. If the Start/Pause button is not pressed
within 15 minutes, the appliance will shut off
and all settings will be lost.
6 End of cycle.
•When the cycle is finished, a melody will
sound. Immediately remove your clothing
from the appliance to reduce wrinkling.
Check around the door seal when removing
the load for small items that may be caught
in the seal.
Preparing the Wash Load
Sort laundry for best washing results, and then
prepare laundry according to the symbols on the
care labels.
Sorting the Wash Load
•For best washing results, sort your clothes
according to the symbol on the care labels
according to the type of fabric and washing
temperature and wash them with adapted spin
speed.
•Always sort dark colours from pale colours and
whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer
can occur causing discolouration of white and
pale garments. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
NOTE
•Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate clothes
according to amount of soil. The Intensive
option is effective when washing normally and
heavily soiled laundry.
•Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Separate white
fabrics from coloured fabrics. Wash new dark
and colored garments separately at first.
•Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash lint
producers and lint collectors separately.

18
Checking the Clothes Care Label
Symbols on the care labels
The symbols tell you about the fabric content of
your garment and how it should be washed.
Symbol Wash / Fabric type
•Normal Wash
•Cotton, Mixed Fabrics
•Easy Care
•Synthetic, Mixed Fabrics
•Special Delicate Wash
•Delicates
•Hand Wash Only
•Wool, Silk
•Do not wash
NOTE
•The dashes under the symbol give you
information about the type of fabric and the
maximum allowance of mechanical stress.
Checking the Clothes before
Loading
•Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
•Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load. Do not wash single items. This
may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two
similar items.
•Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches,
pens, coins and keys can damage both your
appliance and clothes.
•Wash delicates (stockings, underwired bras) in
a wash net.
•Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure
that these items do not snag on other clothes.
•Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains
to help lift dirt.
•Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and
remove any small articles.
CAUTION
•Check if the laundry gets stuck between the
door and the seal, otherwise the laundry may
get damaged while washing.
•Remove items from the flexible gasket to prevent
clothing and door seal damage.

19
Adding Detergents and
Softeners
Detergent Dosage
•Detergent should be used according to the
instruction of the detergent manufacturer and
selected according to type, colour, soiling of the
fabric and the washing temperature.
•If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent
amount.
•If too much detergent is used, too many suds
can occur and this will result in poor washing
results or cause heavy load to the motor.
•If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow
the guidelines provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
•You can pour liquid detergent directly into the
main detergent drawer if you are starting the
wash cycle immediately.
•Do not use liquid detergent if you are using
Delay End function, or if you have selected
Pre Wash option, as the liquid may harden.
•Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for
water temperature, water hardness, size and
soil level of the load. For best results, avoid
oversudsing.
•Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing
the detergent and water temperature.
•Use only suitable detergents for the respective
type of clothing:
−Liquid detergent is often designed for special
applications, e.g. for coloured fabric, wool,
delicate or dark laundry.
−Powdered detergent is suitable for all types
of fabric.
−For better washing results of white and pale
garments, use powdered detergent with
bleach.
−Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the
beginning of the wash cycle.
NOTE
•Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or
odour.
•Full load: According to manufacturer’s
recommendation.
•Part load: ¾ of the normal amount
•Minimum load: ½ of full load
Adding Detergent
NOTE
•Use the appropriate amount of detergent. Too
much detergent, bleach or softener may cause
an overflow.
•When selecting Pre Wash, divide the dosage
into ⅓ for pre wash and ⅔ for main wash.

Adding Detergent Tablet
Detergent tablet is also available when washing
laundry.
1 Open the door and put detergent tablets into
the drum.
2 Load the laundry into the drum and close the
door.
NOTE
•Do not put tablets into the drawer.
Adding Fabric Softener
•Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling
can cause early dispensing of the fabric
softener, which may stain clothes. Close the
dispenser drawer slowly.
•Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent
drawer for more than 2 days (Fabric softener
may harden).
•Softener will automatically be added during the
last rinse cycle.
•Do not open the drawer when water is being
supplied.
•Solvents (e.g. benzene, etc.) must not be used.
NOTE
•Do not pour fabric softener directly onto the
garments, as this may cause stains on your
clothing.
Adding Water Softener
A water softener, such as anti-limescale can be
used to cut down on the use of detergent in areas
with high water hardness level.
•First add detergent, and then the water softener.
Dispense according to the amount specified on
the packaging.
