Operating Instructions

Before Using for the First Time

0 1. Pull the detergent dispenser drawer a short distance out of the control

panel.

2. Pour about 1 litre of water through the detergent dispenser drawer

into the washing machine. When this has been done, done the ÖKO

lock can function correctly.

3. Run a washing cycle without washing (COTTONS 95, with half the

amount of washing powder).

This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left

during manufacture.

Preparing a Wash Load

Sorting and preparing a wash load

 Sort washing according to care symbol and type (see "Washing types

and care symbols").

 Empty all pockets.

 Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).

 In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing,

close zippers, button up duvets and pillow cases, and tie up loose

straps such as from aprons.

 Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,

anoraks etc.).

 Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and textiles with appliqués

should be turned inside out.

 Place small and delicate articles (socks, tights, bras, etc.) into a wash-

ing net or a pillow case.

 Handle curtains with care. Remove metal strips or plastic hooks.

 Do not wash coloured and white washing together. White washing

will otherwise turn grey.

 New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these

items separately the first time.

 Mix small and large articles of washing! This improves washing effi-

ciency, and the washing is more favourably distributed during the

spin cycle.

Operating Instructions

 Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.

 Do not place folded washing into the drum.

 Observe tips such as "wash separately" and "wash separately several

times"!

Washing Types and Care Symbols

Care symbols assist in the selection of the correct washing program.

Washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The tem-

peratures indicated in the care symbols are maximum temperatures.

Cottons ç

Textiles made from cotton and linen with this care symbol will with-

stand maximum wash actions and high temperatures.

The COTTONS/LINEN program is appropriate for this type of washing.

Linen èë

Textiles made from cotton and linen with these care symbols will with-

stand maxiumum wash actions and high temperatures.

The COTTONS/LINEN program is appropriate for this type of washing.

Easy-care washing êíî

Fabrics such as treated cottons, cotton mixtures and synthetics with

this care symbol need a softer washing action.

The EASY-CARES program is suitable for this type of washing.

Delicates ì

Fabrics such as those with layered fibres, micro-fibres, as well as synthet-

ics and net curtains with this care symbol require particularly careful

handling. The DELICATES program is suitable for this type of washing.

Wool and particularly delicate washing 9ìï

Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk with these care symbols

require a very gentle wash cycle. The WOOLLENS/P(Hand washing)

program is appropriate for this type of washing.

Important! Fabrics with this care symbol ñ (Do Not Wash!) must not

be washed in the washing machine!

Detergents and Conditioners

Only use detergents and fabric softeners suitable for automatic

washing machine use. As a general rule follow the instructions of the

detergent manufacturers.

Operating Instructions

Which Detergent?

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is

important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only

detergents recommended for use in automatic machines.

To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and

to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent

for different washes whether for whites, colours or delicates.

Whites

We recommend the Ariel product range

which is biological and designed to

provide excellent cleaning and stain

removal even at lower temperatures.

Non Biological

If you prefer to use a non biological

detergent, which does not contain

enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy

provides good cleaning and stain

removal.

Coloureds

For coloured items, you should use a

detergent which is designed to clean

while maintaining the original colour.

Ariel Color does not contain bleach and

therefore helps to preserve colours.

Delicate Items

When washing delicates, such as wool,

you should use a product which is

specially designed to care for fine fabrics.

Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens

and other delicates.

Laundry Bleach

For additional stain removal you may wish

to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach,

which is used in addition to your chosen

detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable

fabrics including coloureds.

Operating Instructions

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also avail-

able in different forms. Whether you choose a powder or liquid in

traditional or compact form, is down to personal choice.

Traditional Powders

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle

powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

Liquids

Measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which

should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine

drum.

Compact

Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are avail-

able in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage.

Follow the manufacturers instructions to ensure the most economical

usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alterna-

tively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device*

which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the

machine drum.

*If you use a dosing device/ball in a washer dryer, please ensure the

device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.

Fabric Conditioners

These are ideal for improving softness, and also reduce static cling on

synthetics and make ironing easier. They are available in two types:

For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for

use in the washing machine/washer dryer.

The liquid fabric softener should be poured

into the compartment marked with the sym-

bol w. Follow the manufacturers dosage

instructions and never exceed the MAX level.

Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a

tumble dryer. We recommend the condi-

tioning sheets are pinned (using a safety pin)

to an article of laundry and placed in the

tumble dryer.

Operating Instructions

How much Detergent and Fabric Softener?

The amount to be used depends on

 the load:

If the detergent manufacturer does not make any specifications for

small loads, use a third less for half loads, and for very small loads

only use half of the amount of washing powder recommended for a

full load.

 the soiling:

For only lightly soiled washing use less washing powder. Follow the

instructions of the detergent manufacturer and load.

 the water hardness:

The harder the water, the higher the dosage! You will find the quanti-

ties to use according to water hardness on the detergent packet.

Using a Water Softening Agent

In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent can reduce the

amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturers recommendations.

Malfunction Possible Cause Remedy

Operating Instructions

If the Washing Results are not Satisfactory

If the washing turns greyish and limescale deposits are present in

the drum

 Insufficient washing powder has been added.

 Incorrect washing powder was used.

 Stains were not pretreated.

 Program or temperature was not set correctly.

 When using modular washing powders the individual components

were not used in the correct ratio.

If there are still grey stains on the washing

 Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with insuf-

ficient washing powder.

 The temperature selected for the wash was too low.

 A frequent cause is that fabric softener especially a concentrated one

has come into contact with the washing. Wash out these types of

stains as fast as possible and use the fabric softener carefully.

If after the final rinse foam is still visible

 Modern washing powders can still cause foam in the final rinse cycle.

The washing is nevertheless sufficiently rinsed.

If there are white residues on the washing

 These are insoluble contents of modern washing powders. They are

not the result of an insufficient rinse.

Shake out the washing or brush it off. Turn the washing inside out

before washing it. Review your choice of powder, possibly use liquid

detergents.

Operating Instructions

Installation on a Suspended Floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To

help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood

panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2

floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the

corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Levelling the Appliance

3 Self adjusting foot: The back right foot of your washing machine is

designed like a spring leg. This makes the machine very stable even at

high spin speeds.

If the washing machine is not stable proceed as follows:

0 1. Set the three adjustable feet to length of 10 mm. Use the supplied

spanner.

If the self adjusting foot does not reach to the floor:

2. Manually extend the self adjusting foot to the required length.

3. Check the appliance is level using a spirit level.

Important! Never use strips or shims of wood or cardboard etc. to

compensate for any uneveness in the floor. Always use the adjustable

feet.
