Operating the washer-extractor

1. Sort the laundry
^Empty all pockets.
,Foreign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause
damage to textiles and to
components in the machine.
Removing marks
^Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated
with liquid detergent, stain removers
etc. first, following the manufacturer's
instructions. With particularly stubborn
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
,Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in this machine.
Sorting laundry
^Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times before being included in
a mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
Notes and tips on laundry care

General tips
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
– Knitted garments, trousers and
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn
inside out, if recommended by the
manufacturer.
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases
etc. to prevent small items from
being rolled up inside them.
– See "Programme chart" in separate
booklet supplied with the machine for
further tips.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label (hsymbol).
2. Load the drum
^Switch the machine on with the On/
Off button K.
The interior drum lighting will come
on.
^Press the abutton and open the
drum door.
^Unfold the laundry and load loosely
into the drum. Mixing both large and
small items gives better wash results
and also helps distribute the load
evenly during spinning.
The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this causes creases and reduces
cleaning efficiency.
^Shut the door with a gentle swing.
,Make sure that no items are
caught between the door and the
drum.
3. Select a programme
^Select the most appropriate program-
me for the load being washed.
See "Programme chart" in the separate
booklet supplied with the machine for
details of which programmes are
available.

Short instructions

CSelect a programme
Programme descriptions
– See separate booklet
"Commissioning, Programme chart
and Settings".
You can select a programme either by:
– using the appropriate short cut
button to select one of the four
programmes listed in the display
("favourites"), or
– Select the programme you require
from the Programme selection menu.
^If required, you can then select any
Extras and/or Timer for Delay start
from the relevant sub-menu.
Payment system
If your machine is connected to a
payment system, the amount of credit
required will appear in the display.
Credit will be lost if, after the pro-
gramme has started, the door is
opened or the programme cancelled
(depending on how the machine
was set up).
Short instructions

DAdd detergent
Take the level of soiling and water
hardness into account.
Too little detergent results in:
– Laundry not getting properly clean,
and with time may become grey and
hard to the touch.
– Greasy particles clinging to laundry.
– Limescale deposits on the heater
elements.
Too much detergent results in:
– Excessive foam which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
– A burden to the environment.
See "Detergent" for further information.
^Pull out the detergent drawer and
add detergent to the compartments
as follows:
i= Detergent for the pre-wash
j= Detergent for the main wash
§= Fabric conditioner, liquid starch
or proofing agent
^Close the detergent drawer.
The §compartment is not used
during Disinfection programmes. Do
not put anything in the §
compartment .
Short instructions

EStart the programme
The Start button will flash as soon as a
programme can be started.
^Press the Start button.
The Start button will now light up
constantly.
The estimated programme duration will
appear in the display. This will count
down in one minute steps. During the
first 10 minutes the machine measures
how much water is being absorbed by
the laundry. The programme duration
may be shorter depending on this
absorbency rate.
The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The machine lets
you know which section of the program-
me has been reached.
Once washing is in progress, you can
press the following short cut buttons:
– Button DExtras to select or
de-select extras.
– Button ETimer to call up the
current time of day and the estimated
end time of the programme.
– Button GCancel to cancel the
current programme. The suds are
pumped away immediately.
FUnload the drum
If laundry is not removed as soon as the
programme has finished, the
anti-crease phase will begin and the
drum will turn at intervals to help
prevent creasing.
Anti-crease will flash alternately with
Finish in the display.
The machine will switch off
automatically 15 minutes after the
end of the anti-crease phase. You will
need to press the Kbutton to switch
it back on again.
^Press the abutton to open the
drum door.
^Remove the laundry.
Check that all items have been
removed from the drum. Items left in
the drum could discolour other items
in the next wash or become
discoloured themselves.
^Check the folds in the door seal for
any small articles, e.g. buttons, which
might be lodged there.
^Close the drum door. Otherwise there
is the danger of objects being placed
inadvertently in the drum. If these
remained unnoticed and were
washed in the next load, they could
damage the laundry.
^Switch the machine off with the K
button.
