ding the
button down for three seconds.
• Remove the transport supports before using
the machine, see installation instructions.
• Repairs and maintenance which affect safety
or performance must be carried out by an aut-
horized specialist.
The machine will then “remember” the point in
the washing programme at which it was inter-
rupted. To restart: fill with new detergent, if
required, and close the door. The machine will
then start from the point at which it was inter-
rupted.
INSTALLATION
You can also interrupt a programme by pres-

8 BEFORE WASHING
Before you start washing, here is some advice
that can be useful.
RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING
Check the recommended washing marking on
garments. The table below gives useful informa-
tion on suitable washing programmes for diffe-
rent materials and amounts of washing.
SORTING THE WASHING
Sort garments in relation to:
• How soiled they are
• Colour
COLOURED COTTON
• Material
Coloured cotton garments marked with a re-
commendation for 60ºC should the first time
be washed at 60ºC to get rid of any surplus dye.
If this advice is ignored there is a risk that co-
lours will run. Use a detergent without bleach
to safeguard the colours.
GARMENTS
• Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe
against other items.
• New coloured garments can have surplus dye
and should therefore be washed separately the
first time.
DELICATE WASHING
• Turn garments inside out.
This reduces the risk of bur-
ling, dye creases, etc.
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen should be washed at 60ºC
using a detergent without bleach or optical
whitening agent. Severely soiled linen can oc-
casionally be washed at a higher temperature,
but not too often because heat can destroy the
lustre and strength of linen.
• Empty pockets and suitably
let them wash turned inside out.

creased washing. This option means that the
washing will continue to be rotated for two
hours after the programme has ended. See Chap-
ter 11, Making your own programmes, for de-
tails of how to select this option.
Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine
wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and
Hand programmes of the machine are at least
as gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical
processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying,
you can press out the water instead using terry
towelling. In this case, you should select No
Spin. See Chapter 9, Washing, for details of
how to select this setting.
MINIMIZING ALLERGY HAZARDS
This washing machine offers a Super rinse
function. You should use this to take account
of persons with a sensitive skin, for example
persons with allergies and infants. See Chapter
11, Making your own programmes, for details
of how to select this option.
Most garments will tolerate a short spin, ho-
wever. The Wool and Hand programmes al-
ways include a short spin.
SAVE TIME
Man-made fibres and synthetic fibres
These materials require a lot of space if they are
not to crease. Fill the drum only to half load
when washing man-made/synthetic fibres. Se-
lect a short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800
revolutions/minute or lower.
Use the White/Coloured programme to save
time. This programme has a shorter main wash
than Normal, but it is often sufficient for nor-
mally soiled washing.
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY
NOTE
You can save a lot of energy by not using a
stronger programme than necessary.
Viscose and acetate are brittle when wet.
HIGH WATER LEVEL
- Without increasing the temperature, the wash-
ing effect can be increased by selecting the E2
option. You will then save energy without lo-
sing any washing effect.
If you require more water for the main wash
and rinsing, you can use the High water level
option. See Chapter 11, Making your own pro-
grammes, for details of how to select this op-
tion.
See Chapter 11, Making your own washing pro-
grammes, for details of how to select E2.
- Select a fast spin speed to reduce the energy
consumption for subsequent drying in a tumble
dryer or a drying cabinet.
High water level is always used in the Wool
and Hand programmes.
AVOID CREASES WASHING
- Select Quick if you simply need to freshen up
shirts or training kit, etc. You will save both
water and energy.
You should use the Anti-crease option to avoid

DETERGENTS
WASHING TIME
Overdosing detergent will not give better re-
sults, it only increases the burden on the envi-
ronment.
The
-symbol indicates that the remaining
washing time is shown at the bottom right in
the display within ten minutes after the wash-
ing programme starts.
Try using less detergent, and increase the dose
only if you are displeased with the washing re-
sults.
When a programme is choosen the washing
time is calculated. The calculated washing time
can vary from time to time due to the tempera-
ture of incoming water.
TEXTILE DYEING
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select
Normal with the Super rinse option. Choose a
temperature according to recommendations
from the dye maker.
The remaining time is recalculated during
the programme and may then be increased or
reduced to some extent.
If the fabrics to be dyed are mixtures such as
cotton/polyester, you should select a spin speed
of 800 revolutions/minute.
See chapter 11, Making own washing pro-
grammes (Super rinse) and chapter 9, Washing
-Temporary alterations (Spin speed), to see how
these selections are made.
NOTE
Bleaches or stain removers that contain the che-
mical Na2S2O4, known as sodium dithionite or
sodium hyposulphite, must not be used in this
washing machine. If these substances are used
they could cause corrosion and discoloration.
NOTE
Put the dye directly in the drum - not in the
detergent compartment. After dyeing, the emp-
ty machine should be run using the same pro-
gramme. Use a normal amount of detergent.

12 CARE AND CLEANING
CHECKING THE COIN TRAP AND THE DRAIN PUMP
The washing machine has a trap in which coins,
hairpins and similar items fasten. Clean the coin
trap and the drain pump as follows:
1. Ensure that the main power switch is turned
OFF.
CLEANING THE DETERGENT COMPARTMENT
Pull out the detergent compartment as far as it
goes.

ter, eg, in a bowl, by pulling loose the drain
hose on the inside of the
cover.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE
Use a mild detergent to clean the outside of the
machine. Do not use any solvents, they can da-
mage the machine.
4. Open the pump by turning its cover antic-
lockwise. Lift off
the cover and coin
trap.
NOTE
Do not spray the machine with water.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE TO PRE-
VENT PROBLEMS WITH ODOUR
5. Clean out any objects and foreign matter
from the pump housing. Ensure that the pump
blade, at the rear, can be rotated.
Today’s modern detergents mean that washing
at low temperatures is often sufficient. Howe-
ver, this can result in small deposits forming
inside the machine. These can eventually lead
to odour problems.
6. Screw on the cover and coin trap, put the
drain hose back
on the cover lug
and close the co-
ver.
To avoid these problems, we recommend
running a 95° programme on a few occasions

each year. You should use a small quantity of
detergent at the same time. It is not necessary to
fill the machine with washing.
HARD WATER
If you live in an area that has hard water, the
washer drum may become coated with a grey-
white deposit. To get rid of the deposit, pour a
packet of citric acid, about 20 gram, in the drum
and run the Normal programme at 95°C. You
will find citric acid on the spice shelf in your
grocer's store.
CLEANING HOLES UNDER THE RIDGES
If you suspect that objects, eg, nails, paperclips,
pins and so on, have fallen through the washing
drum you should check the space underneath
the ridges. Such items can corrode and cause
rust stains on your washing. Nails and other
sharp objects can tear fabrics.
Proceed as follows:
1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool.
2. Insert the screw-
1
driver in the midd-
le hole in the ridge
and carefully push
the screwdriver
handle to the left.
3. Grip the ridge with
your other hand
and lift it towards
you as illustrated.
2
4. Lift up the ridge.
5. Remove any objects.
6. Position the ridge in the fixing hole with the
F marking towards you. Ensure that the ridge
lugs fit firmly in their holes in the drum. Slide
the ridge away from you until it stops.
