For this purpose, select a lower temperature such as, for example, 60° instead of 90 °C for Cottons / Coloureds, or 30 or 40° for Easy care instead of 60 °C, followed by pressing the "Super Wash" button. The "Super Wash" programmes, while achieving cleaning results that are comparable with a those of a programme using a higher temperature, utilise a longer wash cycle and substantially reduced energy consumption. How to save water, energy, and detergent: Do not Pre Wash lightly to normally soiled washing. How to save detergent: Measure detergent quantities according to water hardness, degree of soiling, and amount of laundry, and follow instructions on the detergent package. 4 Getting to know the appliance 1 2 3 4 Soap dispenser Controls Porthole Maintenance access panel Start" button (page 7) Additional functions (page 8-10) Drying time selector (page 7) Programme selector to set programme and temperature (page 6) 15 Indicator for selected programme Control lights: 16 Operating control light (will be on when machine is switched on) 17 "End" control light - illuminates while the porthole is locked. 5 6 - 12 13 14 18 "Anti-Crease" programme sequence indicator 19 "Drying Time" control light - illumina tes when a drying time has been set. 20 "Start in Hours / Ready in Min." indicator 21 "Drying" programme sequence indicator 22 "Washing" programme sequence indicator 23 Control light for additional functions 5 The programme selector / the programmes The programmes are set using the pro gramme selector which can be turned in both directions.

To do so, press the "Start" button repeatedly until the control light of the desired pro gramme sequence illuminates in the pro gramme sequence display. During a programme cycle, the "Start" button can be used to cause a premature termina tion of the indicated programme sequence. 7 Additional functions The basic wash programmes are designed for normally to lightly soiled domestic laundry. Additional functions for special requirements can be selected by pressing the respective function buttons. The associated control lights will illuminate. Do not press any of the buttons while a pro gramme is in progress, because this would cause the programme cycle to stop and re start immediately from the beginning. In the case of drying programmes, pressing a but ton during the programme cycle would restart the drying cycle, resulting in an extension of drying time. This could cause overdrying of the laundry. The various additional functions may be used in combination. Once selected, the additional functions re main active even after the unit has been switched off and on again. select one of two available spin speeds. These speeds depend on the type of washer being used and on the currently selected pro gramme (see table below). When washing delicate items, you can select the gentle action of the lower spin speed to protect your laundry. Energy conservation: If the laundry is to be dried in the unit, it is advisable to use the higher spin speed set ting because laundry from which a maximum amount of water has been extracted requires significantly less energy and time for ma chine drying.

Note: With the delayed start feature, use a dosage container for liquid detergent and place it in the drum with the washing (see page 13). 11 Detergent You can use all standard powder and liquid detergents which are suitable for automatic washing machines. ! Never use solvent based cleaning agents in fully automatic washing machines! Risk of severe damage! ! Do not use washing performance enhan cer sprays containing solvents or dirt and stain removers near the machine. The spray could damage the machine. ! Store detergents and additives out of the reach of children. Degrees of soiling and examples: lightly soiled No actual soiling or stains visible. Clothes may well have absorbed body odour. - llight summer or sports clothing that has only be worn for a few hours - T shirts, shirts, blouses that have been worn for up to one day - bed linen, guest towels that have been used for one night normally soiled Visible soiling and/or a few small stains*. - T shirts, shirts, blouses that have been soaked in perspiration or worn several times - underwear that has been worn for one day - tea towels, hand towels, bed linen that have been used for up to one week - curtains (not discoloured by nicotine) that have been hanging for up to 6 months. heavily soiled Visible soiling and/or stains*. - kitchen towels that have been used for up to one week - cloth serviettes - babies' bibs - children's outer clothing that has been stained by grass or soil - football jersey and shorts that have been stained by grass or soil - tennis clothing with stains from playing surface (red ash, etc.) - working clothes that are normally was hed at home, such as boiler suits, over alls, etc. * Typical stains skin grease, cooking oils/fats, gravy, sau ces, mineral oil, waxes (containing fats or oils) tea, coffee, red wine, soft fruits, vegetables (respond to bleaching agents) blood, egg, milk, starch (containing pro teins/carbohydrates) soot, soil, sand (pigments) Detergent quantity Only correct dosage produces good washing results. Follow instructions on the detergent packaging. With liquid detergents use the liquid insert in the soap dispenser. Or use dosage aids, e.g. dosage balls or bags which are provided with the detergent. The detergent quantity depends on: the water hardness the degree of soiling the amount of washing the dosage information for the respective detergent. The detergent quantities indicated on the packets refer to full machine loads. With less laundry or if the laundry is only lightly soiled, reduce the quantity of deter gent. Insufficient detergent will not be noticed until the laundry has been washed repeatedly with too little detergent: The washing becomes grey or is not clean. Grey brown spots may form on the wash ing. The heating elements may be covered in lime scale. Excessive detergent causes: unnecessary strain on the environment formation of too much foam, resulting in poor washing results. 12 Detergent Hints Liquid detergents and start time delay ("Start in Hours"see page 10). With time delay selection use a dosage con tainer for liquid detergents, e.g. a ball, other wise the liquid detergent will run slowly out of the soap dispenser and congeal. If this hap pens repeatedly, detergent deposits can cause blockages and a nasty smell. Take dosage container out of the drum at the end of the programme. Water softeners Special water softening agents are available for hard water areas. Follow instructions for use on the package. Always put the deter gent into the chamber first, then the softener into the same chamber. The detergent is then utilised more efficiently. However, provided the correct amount of detergent is used, there is normally no need to use a separate water softening agent. Soaking agents Put soaking agent into chamber I of the soap dispenser. Select soak programme (see page 23). Fabric conditioners Put fabric conditioner into chamber . Do not exceed max" marking or the conditioner will run into the machine together with the detergent at the start of the programme. To prevent blockage of the overflow, dilute thick conditioner with water before putting it into the chamber. Avoid formation of lumps. Starching Pour into chamber II of the soap dispenser. Select starching programme (see page 23). Bleaching agents Do not use neat liquid bleach in this machine. 13 Preparing the laundry Sorting the laundry Sort the laundry according to the care symbols on the labels. ! Woollen or rich wool knitwear must be identified with the symbol or labelled with "does not felt", "non felting", "ma chine washable", otherwise there is a risk of felting! Only items marked with the following care symbols are suitable for washing in the ma chine: Cottons Coloureds Easy care Delicates Hand washable and machine washable woollens Practical tips Remove foreign material and metal ob jects, e.g. safety pins, paper clips, from the laundry. Brush sand out of pockets, cuffs and turn ups. Close zips and duvet covers. Remove curtain runners or tie them in a laundry net or a bag. Particularly fragile items, e.g. tights and curtains, and small items, e.g. small socks, and handkerchiefs, should be washed in a laundry net or a pillowcase. Turn trousers and knitted items, including items such as knitwear and underwear, T shirts and sweatshirts inside out. Make sure that wire cup bras are machine washable. ! Wire cup bras should be washed in a pil lowcase as the wire may work its way out of the cup, fall through the holes in the drum and cause damage to the machine. Removing stains Laundry which is marked with the following care symbols must not be washed in the ma chine: Do not wash Sort the the laundry by colour. Wash white and coloured items separately, otherwise white washing turns grey. ! Do not wash new coloured items together with other washing. Risk of discolouration! Sort the laundry with due consideration for maximum loads, Do not overload the was hing machine as this leads to poor was hing results. Maximum loads: Cottons / coloureds 5 kg Easy-care, delicates, wool 2 kg If possible, stains should be removed imme diately before they have time to set, or else they should at least be pretreated. Try to re move the stain first with soap and water, dab bing the material rather than rubbing. More stubborn, dried in stains may someti mes require several washes before they can be removed completely. 14 Preparing the laundry Sorting the laundry Sort the laundry according to the care symbols on the labels. Use the unit to machine dry only laundry that is labelled "dryer safe", or that is identified by the following care symbols: = Dry at normal temperature. = Dry at low temperature. (Gentle drying) in this machine: - Laundry that is identified with the following care symbol: = Do not dry in a tumble dryer. - Woollens or any fabrics containing wool. They may shrink or felt. - Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic curtains). They may crease. - Garments containing foam rubber or simi lar materials. - Garments which have been treated with inflammable solvents (stain remover etc) They may cause an explosion. - Garments which have traces of hairspray, deodorant spray on them. Gases may form. - Very wet laundry. Waste of energy. When sorting the laundry, keep the maxi mum machine load in mind. Do not over load the washer/dryer. Maximum laundry loads: Cottons / coloureds 2.5 kg Easy-care 2 kg Energy conservation: It is advisable to wash cottons / coloureds always in full machine loads (5 kg), subse quently making smaller loads for drying. Practical tips Only use the drying facility for laundry which has been washed, rinsed and spun. Easy care laundry should have been spun at the relevant speed (see programme chart) before being tumble dried. For best results, sort the washing accord ing to fibre type and desired level of dry ness. Take delicate laundry out of the machine whilst it is still slightly damp. Let it briefly dry out in the air as overdrying in the tumble dryer may cause creasing. It is not necessary to iron the laundry immediately after drying. We recommend that before ironing items are folded or rolled up so that residual moisture can spread evenly through the laundry. ! Do not tumble dry the following garments 15 First operation First wash (no laundry in the machine) The first wash should be carried out without any laundry in the machine to remove resid ual water left from testing the machine in the factory. 1. Check that the transit bolts have been re moved from the back of the unit (see in stallation instructions). 2. Open the water tap. 3. Pull the soap dispenser out as far as pos sible. 4. Put half a measuring cup of normal deter gent in chamber II. Do not use mild deter gent or detergent for woollens as these produce excessive foam. 5.

This switches the unit on. The "On" light illuminates. To re mind you that a drying time must still be set, the "Drying time" control light flashes. Set the drying time selector to the desired drying time. ... continue with "Start", page 20. 123 4 5 Recommended drying times (minutes): Degree of dryness closet dry iron damp 2,5 kg Cottons/ coloureds 2 kg Easy care 2 kg Acrylics 75 70 65 60 45 45 Set shorter drying times for smaller laundry loads. To prevent overdrying of laundry which would cause it to shrink or crinkle, avoid se lecting excessively long drying times. In addi tion, overdrying would consume energy un necessarily. Note: Warm laundry appears more damp to the touch than cold laundry. This can easily lead to misjudgements. 18 Setting a wash programme Selecting a continuous washing / drying programme 1. When washing cottons/coloureds, use ma ximum loads of 2.5 kg. 2. Set the programme selector to the desired programme, e.g. Cottons / Coloureds 60 °C. This switches the unit on. The "On" light illuminates. 3. Select additional functions as required. 4. Set the drying time selector to the desired drying time. Setting a drying time automatically adds a drying programme to the active wash and spin programme, taking into account the type of laundry being washed. At the start of the drying cycle, the "Start in Hours / Ready in Min." display indicates the number of minutes of drying time remaining in the programme cycle. To protect the laundry in the case of wool pro grammes, erroneously selecting a drying time will not cause a drying cycle to be added to the wash programme. When washing temperature sensitive fabrics: Press the "Higher Water Level" button. This causes the drying temperature to be lowered in the Easy care programme (dry ing of acrylics), and the Anti-Crease func tion to be switched off. Tip: a summary of programmes and addi tional buttons can be found in the slot in the soap dispenser. 19 Starting a programme / Programme sequence Approximately two seconds after selecting the programme, the unit is ready to start.
