Additional functions

The basic wash programs are designed for

normal to slightly soiled household linen. For

special requirements additional functions can

be selected by pressing the corresponding

buttons.

What are the additional features and how to

use them, refer to the following:

"Prewash" button

In particularly start soiled laundry, with strong

stains or Professional wash.

1/3 of the detergent in chamber | Fill.

Please note:

When wool program is selected, prewash is

not running, in order to protect the fiber.

"Short wash" button

For low to lightly-soiled laundry. The washing

time is shortened.

“Higher Water Level” button

The water levels are increased in the washing

process, another rinse cycle is switched.

The detergent dispenser

Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops.

Washing or cleaning agents in Compartment I,

II or fill.

Compartment I: Detergent for prewash,

powder bleach (only for devices with key

"Intensive" button), soaking agent.

Compartment II: Detergent for the main

wash, modular detergents, starch.

Compartment : Detergent for the last

rinse; for example, Softener.

For the different types and amounts of

detergents, the insert in Chamber II can be

moved.

When small amounts of washing powder, eg

compact detergents, pull the tray forward.

The arrow on the divider points to the symbol

If you are using large amounts of washing

powder, slide the insert all the way back

(default setting).

The arrow on the divider points to the symbol

If you are using liquid detergent, pull the

insert forward and push it down.

The arrow on the divider points to the symbol

The scale on the insert facilitates the dosing of

the liquid detergent.

When using a dispensing container for liquid

detergent, place into the drum with the

laundry (see page 11).

Laundry Detergent You can use any commercially available

powder or liquid detergents for drum type

washing machines.

Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in

washing machines! There is a risk of

explosion!

Keep detergents and fabric care additives

where they are inaccessible to children.

Amount of detergent

Only the correct dosage leads to good

washing results, follow the instructions on the

packaging of the detergent. Use the insert for

liquid detergent in the detergent drawer or

use the dosage aids, eg. Dosing balls, sacs that

are attached to the detergents.

The amount of detergent depends on:

Water hardness

The degree of soiling

The amount of laundry

Dosing of the particular detergent.

Insufficient amount of detergent is noticeable

only after repeated underdosing:

The laundry is gray or not clean.

It can form point-like, gray-brown spots (fat

lice) on the laundry.

The radiators calcify.

Too much detergent has the result:

An unnecessarily high amount of pollution

A small washing action by excessive foaming,

and thus poor washing results.

The detergent quantities indicated on the

packets refer to full drum loads.

With smaller amounts of laundry or low

soiling level, reduce the amount of detergent.

Notes

Liquid detergents and start time delay

(Start time delay see page 8).

In Start time delay a dispensing container for

liquid detergents, eg. Ball, use, otherwise the

liquid detergent slowly runs out of the

detergent drawer and thickened. If this

happens repeatedly, it can lead to blockages

caused by detergent deposits.

Wait until the end of the program before

removing laundry!

Softeners

In the water hardness ranges 2-4 special

softeners may be used. See package details!

The amount of detergent in this case,

according to hardness range 1 meter. First,

pour in the detergent, then pour the water

softener in the same chamber, so the liquids

are better blended.

Soaking

Fill in chamber 1 of the detergent drawer.

Select “Soaking” Program (see page 18).

Fabric conditioner

Pour into chamber . Do not exceed the

"max", as these are usually flushed with the

detergent together beginning of the program,

and no fabric softener only in the program

section. Stir liquid softener before filling, in

order to avoid clogging the overflow.

Fine finishes and natural strength.

Pour into chamber II of the detergent drawer.

Select program strengths (see page 18).

Bleach, stain remover

Powdered bleach and stain salts can be used

additionally for textiles with bleachable stains.

At Staging of "intensive" button (not all

devices) means fill in chamber I. Without

button "Intensive": first, the detergent, then

pour the bleach powder or stain remover into

compartment II.

Preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

Sort the laundry according to the care

symbols that are specified on the care labels.

Knitwear made of wool or wool rich must

"does not felt" to be in "non-felting" or

"machine washable" with the addition.

Otherwise, there is risk of felting!

You may just wash laundry in the machine,

which is marked with the following care

symbols:

Cottons

Coloureds

Easy-care laundry

Machine-washable wool

Laundry that is labeled with the following care

symbols should not be washed in the

machine:

Hand-wash

Do not wash

Sort the laundry by color. Wash white and

colored items separately, white laundry is

otherwise gray.

Do not wash new colored washing with other

washing. Risk of discoloration!

Do not overload laundry. Overcrowding

impairs the washing results.

Maximum loading amounts:

Hot wash Coloureds 5 kg

Easy care, delicates, wool 2 kg

Preserve laundering and equipment from

damage.

Allow items that have been with solvent-

based cleaning agents, eg. Stain removers,

benzine, pretreated, to air-dry before

washing. Risk of explosion!

Remove foreign bodies and metal parts, eg.

Safety pins, paper clips, out of the laundry.

Brush sand out of pockets and collars.

Close zippers, studs you to remuneration.

Remove curtain runners or tie them into a

washing bag or pouch.

Wash particularly delicate items, such as

Tights or curtains, or small items, such as

Socks or handkerchiefs in a washing bag or

pillowcase.

Turn trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles,

e.g. Knitted underwear, T-shirts, sweatshirts,

inside out.

Stain removal

Stubborn stains are sometimes not removed

by washing once. Stains should, therefore, be

removed as soon as possible, as long as they

are fresh, are removed or at least treated.

Dried stains are more difficult or impossible to

remove.

Fresh stain: Try it first with soap and water.

Do not rub on the fabric, but only pat.

foaming; however, this has no effect on the

rinsing result.

Motor noise No mistake! In the running-in phase, the drive

motor can cause noise during operation.

Repeated spinning

The fuzzy-controlled imbalance control system

has detected an imbalance. This is removed by

washing several times.

The IVS-spin (spin interval) was set at the speed

selector.

Vibration during washing and spinning

Transport brackets are not removed. Notes in

the corresponding installation instructions!

Feet were not fixed during installation. Align the

unit with a spirit level and re-secure the feet as

per set-up instructions.

Program time extension

When too much foam exists, the foam detection

has an extra rinse cycle and an additional spin

switched to improve the wash results.

With strong imbalances during spinning program

time extensions may occur by repeatedly

distributing the laundry. Remedy: Wash large

and small pieces together in order to reduce the

imbalance.

pump clogged? (See "Cleaning the drain pump",

page 21).

If everything has been checked:

display of the rotary knob for the start is in the

final position (see illustration on page 18).

If the indicator lamp remains on, there is a

malfunction that must be corrected by the

represents a fault code. They help us, if you

specify the number of blinks after sales service.
