5. Load/Detergent
^Press the /button to open the drum door.
The Load / Detergent sub-menu will appear in the display.
The washing machine has a sensor which measures the
amount of laundry placed in the drum. The display shows
the percentage of the maximum load which has been
placed in the drum. The maximum load will depend on the
programme selected.
In addition to the load size precentage, the amount of
detergent required is also shown as a % figure.
The load is shown in the display in 25% steps. Loads of less
than 25% or an empty drum are shown as <25%.Ifthe
amount of laundry exceeds the maximum load, Drum
overloaded will appear in the display.
^Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing
both large and small items gives better wash results and
also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
The size of the load will appear in the display.

OK !
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.
Make sure that no garments are caught between the drum
door and seal.
^Shut the door with a gentle swing.

6. Adding detergent
A. Automatic detergent dispensing

Using stain remover
When automatic detergent dispensing is selected, the
compartments iand jin the detergent dispenser drawer
are not rinsed out with water.
How to add stain remover:
1. Fill a dispensing aid (detergent ball) with stain remover
and place this in the drum.
or
2. Switch off automatic detergent dispensing. Dispense the
detergent and the stain remover via the detergent
dispenser drawer.

Using fabric conditioner or liquid starch
Fabric conditioner and liquid starch can
be added to the §compartment in the
detergent dispenser drawer. These will
automatically be dispensed in the last
rinse.
B. Detergent dispenser drawer
Please note:
Use the information in the display for
the correct detergent dispensing.
The percentage shown relates to the
amount of detergent recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
50% = Add half the amount
recommended
60% = Add slightly more than half
the amount recommended
75% = Add three quarters of
the amount recommended
100% = the full amount of detergent
recommended
You also need to take the level of
soiling and water hardness into
account.
It is important to dispense the correct
amount because too little detergent
results in:
–Laundry not getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
–Greasy particles clinging to the
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.
–High water consumption (an
additional rinse cycle will
automatically switch in).
–A burden to the environment.
^Pull out the detergent drawer and
add detergent to the compartments
as follows:
i
Detergent for the pre-wash
(divide the total recommended
amount as follows: add 1/3to
compartment iand 2/3to
compartment j)
j
Detergent for the main wash,
including Soak if selected
§
Fabric conditioner or liquid starch
^Close the detergent drawer.

7. Starting a programme
^Touch the green Start sensor.
The estimated time in the display may
change within the first six minutes of the
programme. The washing machine
measures how much water is being
absorbed by the laundry. This can
extend or shorten the programme
duration.
8. Remove the laundry when
the programme has finished.
After the programme has finished, the
following will appear alternately in the
display:
Anti-crease
and
Programme finished. Unload the drum
before switching off
,After using the steam function,
there is a danger of burning due to
escaping steam and the high
temperatures on the surface of the
drum and door glass. Step back and
wait until the steam has dissipated.
^Press the /button to open the drum
door.
^Remove the laundry.
The machine will switch off
automatically 15 minutes after the
end of the Anti-crease phase. Press
the Kbutton to switch the machine
back on.
Check that all items have been
removed from the drum. Items left in
the drum could shrink or 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.
Important!
Always remove the laundry before
switching the machine off. This is
important to ensure that the load size
indicator works correctly.
^Switch the machine off with the K
button.
To avoid the build-up of mildew, it is
recommended that the door is left ajar
when the machine is not in use.
