– Measur e the detergent according to the manufacturer's instruc tions and water
hardness.
–Energy saving mode:The display panel lighting goes out after a few minutes;
Start/Reload flashes. Press any button to turn the light back o n.
– If the laundry is then to be dried in the tumble dr yer, select the appropriate spin

Environmental protection / conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of laundry for the relevant
programme.
– Wash laundry with normal soiling without a pre-wash.
–Instead of Cottons/Coloureds 90 °C,select the programme Cottons/
Coloureds 60 °C and the jecoPerfect option.
Comparable cleaning result with significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions and water
hardness.
–Energy saving mode:The display panel lighting goes out after a few minutes;
Start/Reload flashes. Press any button to turn the light back on.
– If the laundry is then to be dried in the tumble dryer, select the appropriate spin
speed according to the instructions from the dryer manufacturer.
Automatic stain removal
Automatic treatment of 16 different types of stain possible. No pretreatment of stains
required - the washing machine automatically adapts the washing process apage 6.

and soaking time to suit the type of stain. Hot or cold water, gentle or intensive washing control (thanks to the new
drum structure) and a long or short soaking time ensure that the wash programme has a special sequence for each
type of stain.

Safety instructions
– Read the Instruction manual and Installation instructions and all other information enclosed with the washing
machine and act accordingly.
– Retain the documents for subsequent use.
Risk of electric shock – Never pull the cable to disconnect the mains plug
– Only insert/pull out the mains plug with dry hands.
Danger to life For appliances that have reached the end of their service life:
– Disconnect the mains plug.

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 the 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
– 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.
Loading 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 detergent into compartment II in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Set the programme selector to
Cottons/Coloureds 30 °C and press Start/Reload. After approx. 10 minutes, press Start/Reload to stop the pro-
gramme. Once the required soaking time has elapsed, press Start/Reload again to continue the programme,

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 recommen-
dation for the detergent dosage in %. The %figure refers to the recommendation of the detergent manufacturer.
Automatic load sensing
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.
Outdoor Fabrics Laundry must not be treated with fabric softener.
Waterproofing Clean the detergent drawer thoroughly to remove fabric softener residue.
Special detergent and waterproofing agent suitable for machine washing are available from sports shops.
Dosage according to the manufacturer's instructions:
1. Place the special detergent for outdoor clothing in compartment II and
2. pour impregnating agent (max. 170 ml) into the ~compartment.
Set the programme selector to Outdoor Fabrics Waterproofing. Set the temperature.
Press Start/Reload. Final treatment of the laundry in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

The detergent solution and laundry may be hot. If possible, leave to cool down.
Do not reach into the drum if it is still rotating.
