Washing environmentally and economically
–To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the pro-
gramme you are using.
–When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load recognition
system will reduce the amount of water
and energy used.
–Use the Express 20 programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
–Modern detergents enable washing at
reduced temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Use
appropriate temperature settings for
saving energy.
–For precise dispensing, use automatic
detergent dispensing.
–Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
1. Preparing the laundry
ĺEmpty all pockets.
əForeign objects (e.g. nails,
coins, paper clips, etc.) can

Quick Start Guide
Washing machine

Problem solving guide
PROBLEM SOLVING GUIDE
ProgrammeManager
The ProgrammeManager option can
be used to customise the washing pro-
grammes to suit your requirements.
Intensive
For hard-wearing laundry that is very heav-
ily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is increased
through more intense mechanical action
and the application of more heat energy.
ECO
This option reduces energy consumption
whilst maintaining cleaning efficiency. This
is achieved by increasing the wash duration
and at the same time reducing the wash
temperature selected.
Extra gentle
This option decreases mechanical action in
order to reduce creasing.
Extra quiet
This option reduces noise levels during the
programme. Use this if you want to wash
during quiet periods (for instance, when
children are sleeping). The machine will acti-
vate the "Rinse hold" option and not spin.
The programme duration is longer.
AllergoWash
This option should be used where high
standards of hygiene are required. More
energy is used to lengthen temperature
holding times and more water is used to
increase rinsing efficiency. The items must
be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer 
and suitable for ironing .
Extra options
Extra options are selected and deselected
via the relevant buttons and the display.
Pre-ironing 
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry
undergoes a smoothing process at the end
of the programme. Reducing the maximum
load by 50% will give a better result. Please
note the load information in the display.
Small loads give a better result.
The garments must be suitable for drying in
a tumble dryer and suitable for iron-
ing .
Short
For light soiling with no visible staining.
The wash duration is reduced.
Water plus
The water level in the main wash and the
rinses will be increased if the Water plus
Extra option is selected.
You can select other functions for the Water
plus button. These are described in "Set-
tings".
Stains
In order to clean stained laundry more
effectively, you can choose between 7 dif-
ferent types of stain. The wash programme
will then adapt to the type of stain selected.
You can select one stain per wash cycle.

The right amount to dispense will
depend on the following:
–The soiling level of the laundry.
Lightly soiled:
No visible dirt or stains. Possibly slight
body odour.
Normally soiled:
Visibly dirty and⁄or just a few slight stains.
Heavily soiled:
Soiling and⁄or stains clearly visible.
–The quantity of the laundry.
–Check with your local water supplier if
you do not know the hardness level in
your area.
Cleaning the drum (Hygiene info)
Washing at low temperatures and/or using
liquid detergent can cause bacteria and
unpleasant odours to build up in the wash-
ing machine. Use the Clean machine pro-
gramme to clean the machine. Run this
programme regularly or at the latest when
the Hygiene info message appears in the
display.
Dispensing fabric softener and
liquid starch at the end of the
programme
You can dispense fabric softener either by
using automatic dispensing or via the deter-
gent dispenser compartment.
Automatic dispensing
One of the automatic dispensing containers
must be filled with fabric softener.
ĺTouch the Dos  sensor.
ĺActivate the appropriate container.
Fabric softener will be dispensed in the last
rinse.
Manual dispensing
ĺAdd the fabric softener or liquid starch to
the compartment or insert the appro-
priate capsule. Do not exceed the max-
imum level mark.
It will be automatically dispensed in the final
rinse. At the end of the programme a small
amount of water remains in the fabric sof-
tener  compartment.
If starching frequently, thoroughly clean
the dispenser compartment, especially
the siphon, regularly.
Cleaning the TwinDos system
The washing machine has a cleaning pro-
gramme for cleaning the TwinDos system
containers and the hoses inside the wash-
ing machine.
The TwinDos containers (optional acces-
sory) are required to carry out cleaning.
əIf the system has not been used for
a long time (more than two months), the
detergent in the hoses can become vis-
cous. The hoses could become blocked
and would then need to be cleaned by
a service technician. Clean the TwinDos
system every time you change brand of
liquid detergent or fabric softener or if
the system has not been used for a long
period of time.
Starting the maintenance programme
The maintenance programme is located in
the Settings menu under TwinDos.
ĺFollow the instructions in the display and
refer to the relevant section in the operat-
ing instructions.
After cleaning you can fill one or both con-
tainers with new liquid detergent and/or
fabric softener.
Cleaning the compartment
Detergent residue can cause clogging.
ĺUse a damp cloth to clean the compart-
ment interior when you change the car-
tridge or container.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
Washing at low temperatures and the use
of liquid detergent can lead to a build-up
of mould and bacteria in the detergent
dispenser drawer.
ĺClean the entire drawer at regular inter-
vals for hygiene reasons, even if you are
using the TwinDos system exclusively.
ĺPull out the
detergent
dispenser drawer
until a resistance
is felt.
ĺPress down the release button and, at
the same time, pull the drawer right out of
the machine.
ĺClean the detergent dispenser drawer
with warm water.
Cleaning the siphon and the fabric
softener channel
ĺPull the siphon
out of the
compartment
and clean it
under warm
running water.
ĺClean the siphon tube in the same way.
ĺRefit the siphon.
ĺClean the fabric
softener channel
using a brush
and warm water.
əLiquid starch can cause the siphon
to become clogged. Make sure that you
clean the siphon and siphon tube particu-
larly thoroughly after using liquid starch a
few times.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer housing
ĺUse a bottle brush to remove deter-
gent residues and limescale from the jets
inside the detergent dispenser drawer
housing.
