Level the washing machine front to back and side to side with the four height adjustable feet and a bubble level: d WARNING d d q q q q CAUTION d Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the washer has been properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. TO AVOID RISK OF INJURIES-Take care when using the wrench. Loosen the counter nut 1 using the wrench for levelling. Adjust the height by turning the height adjustable foot 2. Tighten lock nut 1 against the housing. Level machine as low as possible. d WARNING d The washing machine must only be connected to an individual branch circuit via a socket which has been properly installed and grounded.

Keep detergents and additives out of the reach of children. See also temperatures settings page 15. Measure out the detergent (powder or liquid) according to: - The water hardness. This information can be obtained from your local water authority. Soft water requires less detergent. - The amount of laundry. - The degree of soiling. Information on soiling can be found on Page 13. - The specifications of the detergent manufacturer. Measuring the correct amount of detergent relieves the strain on the environment and ensures optimum washing results. Too little detergent: The laundry is not cleaned properly and will eventually become gray and stiff. Grayish brown spots (fat globules) may appear on the laundry. The heater may calcify. Too much detergent: Not environmentally friendly, excessive suds reduce wash agitation producing poor washing and rinsing results or may prevent proper spinning. Fabric Types Machine Wash, Cottons Machine Wash, Permanent Press Machine Wash, Delicates Hand Wash Ó Ô Ò Ì Á Ê Â q Temperatures Cold Warm Hot Do not wash clothes in washing machine if the care label says Do Not Wash" or the DO NOT WASH symbol Ú is on the care label. Unfold the sorted items of clothing and place them loosely into the drum. Mix up large and small items. Items of varying size will distribute better during the spin cycle. Loading the laundry d WARNING d TO AVOID EXPLOSION HAZARD! Items of clothing that have been pretreated with solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover and dry cleaning solvents, represent an explosion hazard once loaded into the washing machine. Therefore, these items must first be rinsed thoroughly by hand. Overloading will cause poor wash results and encourage wrinkling. For best results it is recommended to load the drum depending on the fabric type, see special programs Page 15 for information on bulky items, e.g. comforters : Full Load Cotton and Linens ½ Load Permanent Press, Synthetic Blends and Knitwear D Load Wool, Delicates, Silk i Do not exceed the maximum load. CAUTION Loose debris in the washing machine drum can damage the laundry. Before loading the laundry, check that there is no debris in the drum. i Close the door. Do not trap any items of clothing between the door and rubber seal. Door should be able to close easily, not by force. 14 Filling laundry detergent and/or additives Programs and Functions Cycle time will vary depending on cycle selected, temperature and pressure of incoming water, water hardness, size of load, type of fabrics and distance of unit from the drain. The maximum spin speeds of the programs are dependent upon the cycle. For adjusting the spin speed, see page 16.
