Important information
Before washing for the first time
Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the tap on. Pour into compartment II:
– approx. 1 litre water
– detergent (dosage according to the manufacturer's instructions for light soiling and according to water hardness)
Set the programme selector to Easy-Care 60 °C and press Start/Reload. At the end of the programme,
turn the programme selector to Off.
Protecting the laundry and the machine
– Empty pockets.
– Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.).
– Wash delicates in a laundry bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).
– Fasten zips, do up any buttons.
– Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
– Remove curtain fittings or place in the laundry bag.
Loading laundry
– For optimum spin behaviour, load large and small items of laundry together.
– Individual items may lead to considerable imbalances.
– Take care not to trap items of laundry between the washing machine door and the rubber seal.
Soaking
Load laundry of the same colour.
Pour detergent into compartment II in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Set the programme selector to
Cottons/Coloureds 30 °C and press Start/Reload. After approx. 10 minutes, press Start/Reload to stop the pro-
gramme. Once the required soaking time has elapsed, press Start/Reload again to continue the programme,

Dyeing / bleaching
Dye should only be used in normal household quantities. Salt may damage stainless steel. Always follow the dye
manufacturer's instructions. Do not use the washing machine for bleaching clothes.
Load display
The load sensor detects how heavily the washing machine is loaded. The laundry is not weighed.
Recommended dosage
Based on the selected programme and the detected load, the recommended dosage function provides a recommen-
dation for the detergent dosage in %. The % figure refers to the recommendation of the detergent manufacturer.
Automatic load sensing
Independently of the load display, the automatic load sensing function uses additional sensors to adapt the water and
power consumption ideally to each programme, depending on the type of fabric and the load.
Outdoor Fabrics
Laundry must not be treated with fabric softener.
Waterproofing
Clean the detergent drawer thoroughly to remove fabric softener residue.
Special detergent and waterproofing agent suitable for machine washing are available from sports shops.
