Setting the time
So that the time and the end of the program are correctly displayed, 
please check the display and set the current time if necessary. To do 
this, please see the section “Setup/Clock”.
Carrying out a wash program prior to first use
In order to remove any residues from the drum and water container 
which may have been left during manufacturing, perform the first 
wash cycle without any washing in the machine. Program: LINEN/EASY-
CARES 60 °C, option TIME SAVING: VERY SHORT, use approx. 1/4  meas-
uring cup of detergent.
Preparing and sorting washing
Preparing washing
Empty pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e. g. coins, paper clips, nails, 
etc.).
Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing.
Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a 
bag.
Wash sensitive and small items in a net or a pillow case, e.g. net cur-
tains, tights, socks, handkerchiefs, bras.
Important! Bras and other items containing wires should NOT be 
washed in this washing machine.
Sorting washing
By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can 
run. 
By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.
Important! Do not wash fabrics with care symbol G (= do not wash!) 
in the washing machine.

Running a washing cycle
Opening the door/loading washing
1.To open the door: pull the door by the handle.
2.Unfold washing and load it loosely 
into the machine. Mix large and 
small items.
Important: Do not get any washing 
caught between the door and the 
rubber seal.  
3.Push the door shut firmly. Door 
catch must audibly click shut.
Adding detergent / additives
Important: Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use 
in domestic washing machines.
1For USA and Canada only! 
Important! Only LOW-SUDSING detergent suitable for a front-loading 
washing machine can be used in this machine. This machine can heat 
the water up to 95 degrees celsius, or 200 degrees fahrenheit, and care 
should be taken to ensure that the correct washing powder is used. If 
you have any doubt, check with your dealer or the distributor.
WARRANTY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARE VOIDED IF A LOW 
SUDSING DETERGENT IS NOT USED.
Dose detergent and additives according to the instructions of the de-
tergent and additive manufacturers. Follow the instructions on the 
packaging.
Dosing depends upon:
–the washing’s degree of soiling,
–the size of the load
–the degree of hardness of the water supply. 
If the manufacturer does not give instructions for small loads: for a 
half load, use a third less, for a very small load, use only half of the 
detergent that is recommended for a full load.
From water hardness 2 (= medium) upwards, water softener should 
be used. Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness 1 
(= soft). Your local water company will be able to give you informa-
tion about the water hardness in your area.

1.Pull the detergent dispenser drawer out as far as the stop.
2.Add the detergent/additives.
3.Push the drawer in fully.
Washing powder/tablets for the main wash 
If you are using water softener and need the right-hand compartment 
for the pre-wash detergent, add the water softener to the main wash 
detergent in the left-hand compartment.
Softeners, wash-care products to preserve the shape of garments, 
starch 
Do not fill the compartment beyond the MAX mark. Dilute thick liquid 
concentrates according to the manufacturer’s instructions before 
putting them into the drawer. Dissolve powder starches.
If you use liquid detergents: 
Add liquid detergent using the dosage container provided by the deter-
gent manufacturer and place on top of the washing drum.
Switching on the appliance/selecting a program
 Select the program using the 
program knob, e.g., 
LINEN/EASY-CARES.
3By selecting a program, you 
switch the appliance on at 
the same time.
–The display lights up and 
shows the program set, the 
current time and the esti-
mated end of the cycle.
–Depending on the program, the washing machine suggests a temper-
ature and a spin speed. You can change these suggestions.

–The lighting for the display switches itself off at the end of the cycle 
or, if the appliance is not started after the program is set, after 
10 minutes. To switch the light on again, press any key or turn the 
program knob.
Changing the temperature
 Press the  TEMPERATURE 
key repeatedly until the de-
sired temperature is displayed.
Changing spin speed/selecting rinse hold
 Press the  RPM key re-
peatedly, until the desired 
spin speed or  RINSE 
HOLD is displayed.
3With spin speed “0” the last 
rinse water is drained off at 
the end of the cycle, but the 
washing is not spun.
With  RINSE HOLD the washing is left to soak in the last rinse wa-
ter. There is no final spin after the intermediate spin(s). Intermediate 
spins are programme-dependent and cannot be altered.
Setting options
Options can be added to a wash cycle that has already been selected.
Press the  OPTION key. The display shows the symbols for the op-
tions.
PREWASH

3Only the options that can be combined with the cycle that has already 
been set are shown in the display. 
Prewash, Sensitive, Stain, Night Cycle
 1.Press the  OPTION key 
repeatedly until the desired 
symbol flashes, e. g., 
PREWASH (With each 
press of the key, the next 
symbol flashes, from left to 
right.)
 2.Press the OK key. The symbol 
stops flashing. A black bar 
appears under the symbol. 
The option is set. The display 
changes to the next option. 
To switch off the option, 
press the  OPTION key 
SENSITIVE
Enhanced rinse action through an additional rinse cycle togeth-
er with decreased drum movement (improved fabric care).  This 
is ideal when frequent washes are necessary, for example, in 
cases of highly sensitive skin. An additional rinse cycle can also 
be permanently set (see section “Setup”).
STAIN
For heavily soiled and stained washing. In-wash stain treatment 
products are washed in at the optimum time as the program 
progresses.
NIGHT CYCLE
The washing is left to soak in the final rinse water. There is no fi-
nal spin and no intermediate spin. Because of this the program 
runs very quietly. NIGHT CYCLE is therefore particularly suitable 
if you want to wash at night.
SETUP
The special functions that can be set under Setup remain per-
manently stored in the appliance, e. g., time, language, etc. (see 
section “Setup”) until they are changed or deactivated.
