Rinse hold
The laundry remains in the last rinse water without progressing to
the final spin cycle to avoid creasing and prevent colours from
changing. It is particularly useful if you want to postpone spinning
to a later time, or if you want to drain only. If you select "Rinse hold",
do not leave items to soak for too long.
Note: The programme stops to "Rinse hold" at the time the "Rinse
hold" light in the programme sequence indicator is on. The
indication lamp next to the "Start/Pause" button blinks.
Terminate the "Rinse hold" option:
Press the "Start/Pause" button; the programme will terminate
automatically with the final spin cycle for the present wash
programme. If you do not wish to spin the clothes, turn and hold the
"Reset"
button for a few seconds to start the Drain programme.
Spin
Every programme has a predefined spin speed. If you want to
change the spin speed, press the "Spin" button. If spin speed "0" is
selected, the final spinning is cancelled but intermediate spin peaks
remain during the rinse. The water is drained out only.
BLEACHING
Wash your laundry in the desired programme, Cotton or Synthetics ,
adding an appropriate amount of chlorine bleach to the Softener
chamber (close the lid carefully). Immediately after the end of
the programme, turn the "Programme selector" and start the
desired programme again to eliminate any residual bleach smell; if
you want, you can add softener. Never put both chlorine bleach and
softener into the softener chamber at the same time.
HINTS AND TIPS
Sort your laundry according to
Type of fabric/care label (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool,
handwash items). Colour (separate coloured and white items, wash
new coloured items separately). Delicates (wash small items – like
nylon stockings – and items with hooks – like bras – in a cloth bag or
pillow case with zip).
Empty all pockets
Objects like coins or lighters can damage your laundry as well as the
drum.
Appliance interior
If you never or seldom wash your laundry at 90°C, we recommend to
occasionally run a 90°C programme without laundry, adding a small
amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance clean.
Follow the dosage recommendation / additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus
detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of
surplus detergent.
Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are
generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer
duration.
Observe the load sizes
Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the
"PROGRAMME CHART" table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning
speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the
remaining moisture content.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the
washing machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the
washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine
periodically (at least 4 times per year).

Cleaning the outside of the washing machine
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing
machine. Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring
powder or similar to clean the control panel – these substances
might damage the printing.
Detergent dispenser
Clean regularly, at least three or four times a year, to prevent
detergent build-up:
Press the release button
and remove it. A small quantity of water can remain in the
dispenser, thus you should carry it in an upright position. Wash the
dispenser using running water. You can also remove the siphon
cap on the back of the dispenser for cleaning. Replace the siphon
cap in the dispenser (if removed) Reinstall the dispenser by
locating the dispenser's bottom tabs into the appropriate
openings on the lid, and by pushing the dispenser against the lid
until it locks into place. Make sure that the detergent dispenser is
correctly reinstalled.
Checking the water supply hose
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If
damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-
Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose
type: If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check
if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and
should be replaced. For water stop hoses
check the small safety valve inspection window (see arrow).If it is
red, the water stop function was triggered, and the hose must be
replaced by a new one. For unscrewing this hose, press the release
button (if available) while unscrewing the hose.
Cleaning the mesh filters in the water supply hose
Check and clean regularly (at least two or three times a year).
Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap. Clean the internal
mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap. Now
unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine. Pull off the
mesh filter from the washing machine connection with universal pliers
and clean it. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again. Turn
on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely water-tight.
Cleaning the water filter / draining residual water
The washing machine is provided with a self-cleaning pump. The filter
keeps objects like buttons, coins, safetypins etc. which have been left in
the laundry. If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water
has cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water filter
regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to
obstruction of the filter. If the water cannot drain, the indicator
indicates that the water filter may be clogged.
Open the filter cover with a coin. Place a broad, flat container beneath
the water filter, to collect the drain water. Slowly turn the filter
counterclockwise until water flows out. Let the water flow out, without
removing the filter. When the container is full, close the water filter by
turning it in clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat this procedure until
all the water has drained. Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter,
which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove the water
filter by turning it out anti clockwise. Clean the water filter (remove
residues in the filter and clean it under running water) and the filter
chamber. Make sure the pump impeller (in the housing behind the
filter) is not obstructed. Insert the water filter and close the filter cover:
Reinsert the water filter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make
sure to turn it in as far as it goes. To test water tightness of the water
filter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the drum and check that
water does not leak from the filter. Then close the filter cover.
Lid seal
Check the condition of the lid seal periodically and clean it from time to
time with a damp cloth.
