properly by following the installation instructions in this
manual.
~ Installation instructions; Page 12
Check the machine. Never connect the utilities (power or
water) to or start a damaged machine! Contact Customer
Service!

machine rating plate correspond.

taps are turned on.
Turning the washing machine on and off
Center of the program selector is pressed to turn the
appliance on or off.
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.

wash program
NOTICE: If the Child lock is activated, you must
deactivate it before you can select a program.
~ Child lock; Page 37
Use the program selector to select the desired wash
program. The dial turns in both directions and when a
cycle is selected its time duration appears in the display.
The related preset options (temperature, spin speed,
etc.) lights are activated.
Selecting optional program settings
By selecting the optional program settings, you can
adjust the washing process to better suit the items you
are washing.
The optional program settings can be selected and/or
deselected depending if they are allowed (not all settings
are allowed for all programs) and the cycle’s progress.
The indicator lamps of the buttons light up if the setting is
active.

Loading the laundry
9 WARNING
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.
