Operating Instructions

WARNING
9
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the Important Safety Instructions and
Operating Instructions before operating this
appliance.
Before doing any laundry with your washing
machine
Check to make sure your washer has been installed
properly by following the installation instructions in this
manual.
~ Installation instructions; Page 10
Check the machine. Never connect the utilities (power or
water) to or start a damaged machine! Contact customer
service!
Check to be sure your household electrical system
voltage and the voltage specifications on the washing
machine rating plate correspond.
Check to be sure the washer hot and cold water supply
taps are turned on.
Turning the washing machine on and off
The rotating Cycle Selector turns the washer on as wash
cycles are selected and off when the selector is later
turned to the vertical Off position.

Before loading your first load of laundry

Your new washing machine was tested before leaving
the factory. This process involves running various wash
cycles. As a result, a small amount of water may remain
in the tub and drainage system. Run a Drum Clean cycle
with no laundry to clean the system before your first load
of laundry.
First add 1 to 2 tablespoons of detergent to the main-
wash chamber II. Then run the Drum Clean cycle.
Wait for the cycle to finish.
Using the cycle selector to choose a wash
cycle
NOTICE: If the child lock feature is activated, you must
deactivate it before you can set a cycle.
~ Child lock; Page 22
Use the cycle selector to select the desired cycle. Turns
in both directions.
The machine is switched on.
In the display field, the cycle duration for the selected
cycle appears and the indicator lamps for the pre-set
temperature and spin speed options light up.

Changing default cycle settings

You can use the default settings or change them to your
desired settings.
Touch the appropriate button until the desired setting is
displayed.
The settings or options are active when the related
indicator is lit. There is no need for additional
confirmation on your part. The settings or options are not
retained after the appliance is switched off (all are set
back to default automatically).

~ Default Program and Option settings; Page 28

Selecting additional cycle settings

By selecting additional settings, you can adjust the
washing process to better suit the items you are
washing.
The settings can be selected and deselected depending
on the cycle progress.
The indicator lamps of the buttons light up if the setting is
active.
The settings are not retained after the appliance is
switched off.

Loading the laundry

WARNING
9
To avoid risk of explosion! Laundry items that have
been pretreated with any material containing
solvents (e.g. stain remover, cleaner's solvent) must
be rinsed out thoroughly by hand before they are
placed in the washing machine.
Loosen the laundry being loaded and mix small and
large items
Unfold the sorted items and place them loosely in the
drum. Mix small and large items to help them better
distribute in the drum during the spin cycle.
Tip: Do not exceed the maximum load recommended for
the type of wash. Overloading will cause poor wash
results and will cause wrinkles.
