Operating Instructions
1 Safety
Prior to using the appliance for the first time
• Follow the “Installation and connection instructions”.
• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are mi-
nus temperatures: store the washing machine at room temperature
for 24 hours before using for the first time.
Correct use
• The washing machine is only designed for the washing of normal do-
mestic laundry at home.
• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permit-
ted.
• Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in domestic
washing machines.
• The washing must not contain any flammable solvent. The risk of ex-
plosion exists.
• Do not use the washing machine for dry cleaning.
• Dyes/colour removers may only be used in the washing machine, if
the manufacturer of these products expressly permits this. We cannot
accept liability for any damage arising.
Child safety
• Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.
• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical
appliances. Don’t allow children to use the washing machine unsu-
pervised.
• Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the
washing machine. The risk of death exists.
General safety
• Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified/
authorised service engineers.
• Never use the appliance when the electrical cable is damaged or the
control panel, worktop or plinth area are damaged to such an extent
that the inside of the appliance is openly accessible.
5
• Switch off the washing machine prior to cleaning it and carrying out
maintenance. In addition, remove the power plug from the power
point or – if the appliance has been hard-wired – switch off the cut-
out in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse.
• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-
ply and turn off the tap.
• Never remove the power plug from the power point by pulling on the
cable. Always pull the plug.
• Multiway-plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.
Resulting overheating may constitute a fire hazard.
• Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of
electric shock.
• When using wash programmes with high temperatures the glass in
the door will become hot. Do not touch it!
• Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the
drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool
down.
• Small animals can nibble on electrical cables and water hoses. This
can constitute a risk of electrocution and water damage. Keep small
animals away from the washing machine.
Disposal
2 Packaging material
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recy-
cled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<,
>PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging materials in the appropriate
container at your local waste disposal facilities.
2 Old appliance
Please dispose of your old appliance in line with the guidelines for dis-
posal in your area.
1 Warning: When your appliance has finished its working life, remove
the plug from the mains socket. Cut off the cable and plug and dispose
of them.
Destroy the door lock. This prevents children from trapping themselves
inside and endangering their lives.

TONS/LINEN 60, press the TIME SAVER button, add approx. 1/4 measur-
ing cup detergent.
Preparing and sorting washing
Preparing washing
• Empty the pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e.g. coins, paper clips,
nails, etc.).
• Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing.
• Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a
bag.
• Wash delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains,
tights, small socks, handkerchiefs, bras.
Important: Bras and other items containing wires should only be
washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appli-
ance.
Sorting washing
• By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can
run.
• By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.
Important: Do not wash fabrics with the G care symbol (= do not
wash!) in the washing machine.

3.Firmly push the door shut. Door
catch must audibly click shut.
Adding detergent/conditioner
Important! Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use
in domestic washing machines.
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/condi-
tioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packag-
ing.
The amount of detergent used depends on:
– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the load size
– the hardness of the tap water.
• If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with re-
gard to small volumes of washing: for a half-load use a third less, and
for a very small load use only half the amount of detergent that is
recommended for a full load.
• Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-
um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for
hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you
with information about water hardness in your area.

If the wash result is not satisfactory
The washing is grey and there are limescale deposits in the drum
• Too little detergent was used.
• An incorrect detergent was used.
• Individual stains were not pre-treated.
• The programme or temperature was not set properly.
There are grey stains on the washing
• Items that were soiled with ointments, fats or oils were washed using
too little detergent.
• The wash temperature used was too low.
• A common cause is that conditioner – in particular the type in con-
centrated form - has come in contact with the washing. Wash out
such marks as soon as possible and exercise care when using the said
conditioner.
Foam can still be seen following the final rinse
• Modern detergents can cause foam to be created even during the fi-
nal rinse. In spite of this, the washing has been sufficiently rinsed.
There are white residues on the washing
• What can be seen here are insoluble substances which modern deter-
gents contain.
They are not the result of insufficient rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out
before washing. Check your selection of detergent and perhaps use
liquid detergent instead.

Connecting the appliance to the water
supply
Important:
• This appliance must not be connected to the hot water supply.
• When connecting the appliance, use only new hose kits.
• Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water
or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the require-
ments of DIN1986 and DIN1988.
• Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose.
Permitted water pressure
The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (=10N/cm2=0.1MPa), and
may be a maximum of 10bar (=100N/cm2 =1MPa).
– If more than 10bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve.
– If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose from
the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition re-
move the filter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket
behind it.) Replace the filter.
29
Water inlet
A 1.35m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance.
If a longer inlet hose is required, only hoses from the manufacturer are
to be used. Service Force stocks hose kits of different lengths.
3 Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose
fitting or are included as spare parts. Do not use any other sealing
rings.
Important! All threaded hose fit-
tings must only be tightened by
hand.
1.Connect the hose with the right-an-
gle connector to the machine.
Important! Do not position the inlet
hose vertically downwards. Position
it to the right or the left as shown in
the illustration.
2.Connect the hose with the straight
connector to a water tap with an R
¾ (inch) screw thread.
3.Slowly turn on the tap and check
that all connections are watertight.
30
Water Drainage
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the
drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia-
gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe.
Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks.
When discharging into a stand-
pipe ensure that the top of the
curve in the hose end is no more
than 90 cm (35.4’’) and no less
than 60 cm (23.6’’) above floor
level.
The upright standpipe should
have a minimum, length of 30 cm
(12’’) from the bottom of the el-
bow to the top of the pipe (see
diagram). Make sure that it is de-
signed in such a way that the end
of the drain hose cannot be cov-
ered with water.
Longer drain hoses are available
in lengths of 2.7 and 4 metres
from your Service Force Centre.
For drainage into an outlet
spigot: If the outlet spigot has not
been used before, remove any blank-
ing plug that may be in place. Push
the drain hose onto the spigot and
secure with a clip if required. Ensure
the drain hose is looped upwards to
prevent waste water from the sink
entering the washing machine.
Important! The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the
pumped-out water. Otherwise, the water could be sucked back into the
appliance.
31
Pumping heights of over 1 metre
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of
1metre, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.
Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre malfunctions and dam-
age to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained.
Please contact Service Force Centre.
