Operating Instructions
1Safety
Prior to using for the first time
•Follow the ”Instructions for installation and connection”.
If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are mi-
nus temperatures: Store the washing machine at room temperature 
for 24 hours before using for the first time.
Correct use
The washing machine is only designed for the washing of normal do-
mestic laundry at home. 
Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permit-
ted.
Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use in domes-
tic washing machines.
The washing must not contain any inflammable solutions. Danger of 
explosion!
Do not use the washing machine for dry cleaning.
Dyes/colour removers may only be used in the washing machine, if 
the manufacturer of these products expressly permits this. We cannot 
be held responsible for any damage arising.
Child safety
Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.
Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical 
appliances. Don’t allow children to use the washing machine unsu-
pervised.
Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the 
washing machine. Could endanger life!

General safety
Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified 
service engineers. 
Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged; or if 
the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the 
inside of the appliance is freely accessible.
Switch off the washing machine before cleaning, maintenance and 
servicing. In addition, pull the mains plug out of the socket or – in 
the case of a permanent connection – switch off the cut-out in the 
fuse box or remove the screw fuse completely.
If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-
ply and shut off the water tap.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the 
plug.
Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. 
This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating. 
Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of 
electric shock!
In washing programmes with high temperatures the glass in the door 
gets hot. Do not touch it.
Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the 
drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool 
down.
Small animals can nibble at the cables and water hoses. Danger of 
electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away 
from the washing machine.
