Use only new hoses to connect the washing machine to the water supply. Used hoses must not be used and should be discarded.

5.Drain Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it

over the edge of a sink by means of the U bend supplied.

If the washing machine is connected to an integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and draining of water (siphoning effect).

6.Electrical connection Electrical connections must be carried out by a

qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturers instructions and current standard safety regulations.

Data regarding voltage, power consumption and protection requirements is given on the inside of the door.

The appliance must be connected to the mains by means of a socket with an earth connection in accordance with current regulations. The washing machine must be earthed by law. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage to property or injury to persons or animals due to non-compliance with the directions given above.

Do not use extension leads or multiple sockets. Before any maintenance on the washing machine

disconnect it from the mains supply. After installation, access to the mains plug or to

disconnection from mains supply must be ensured at all times via a double-pole switch.

Do not operate the washing machine if it has been damaged during transport. Inform the After-Sales Service.

Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out by After-Sales Service.

The appliance must only be used in the household for the prescribed uses.

4.Energy saving tips Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent

and time by using the recommended maximum load size.

Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated in the manufacturers instructions.

The Eco-Ball - a special system in the outlet - will prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid detergent loss into the environment.

Use Prewash for heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time, water and energy consumption by not selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak drued in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme.

Save energy by using a 60 C instead of a 95 C wash programme or a 40 C instead of a 60 C wash programme.

Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a tumble dryer (for machines with adjustable spin speed).

5.General recommendations Do not leave the appliance plugged in when not

in use. Turn off the tap. Before any cleaning and maintenance switch off

the machine or disconnect it from the mains. Clean the outside of the washing machine with a

damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents. Never open the door forcibly or use it as a step. Children must not be allowed to play with the

washing machine or to climb into the drum (see also the following page chapter Child Safety).

If necessary, the power cable may be replaced with an identical one obtained from our After-Sales Service. The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician.

6.EC Declaration of Conformity The appliance conforms to the following

European Standards:73/23/EEC Low voltage directive 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive93/68/EC CE Marking Directive .

Stain removal Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by the

automatic enzyme phase of the programme. To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit

stains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser.

Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover if necessary.

Dyeing Only use dyes that are suitable for washing machines. Follow the Manufacturers instructions. Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine can

be stained by dyes.Loading the laundry1. Open the door.2. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the

DosageFollow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on: degree and type of soiling size of wash

water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water (refer to the water hardness table in the operating instructions).

Notes:Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency.If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning. Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.

Machine vibrates during spin cycle.

Check whether:

the washing machine is level and standing firmly on all four feet;

the transport bolts have been removed. Before using the machine, it is imperative that the transport bolts are removed.

Final spin results are poor.

The washing machine has an imbalance detection and correction system. If individual heavy items are loaded (e.g. bathrobes), this system may reduce the spin speed automatically or even interrupt the spin completely if it detects too great an imbalance even after several spin starts, in order to protect the washing machine.

If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the cycle, add smaller articles of laundry and repeat the spin cycle.

Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning. Use the correct amount of detergent.

Check that the spin speed selector has not been set to 0.

If your washing machine has a time display:

the programme time initially displayed is lengthened / shortened by a period of time:

This is a normal capacity of the washing machine to adapt to factors that can have an effect on the wash programme time, e.g.:

excess foam formation;

load imbalance due to heavy items of laundry;

prolonged heating time due to reduced inlet water temperature;

Because of influences like these, the time remaining in the programme run is recalculated, and updated if necessary. In addition, during the filling phase, the washing machine determines the load and if necessary adjusts the initial programme time displayed accordingly. During such update periods, an animation appears on the time display.
