Energy saving programme at 60 °C for lightly to normally soiled cottons/linen. MO

Programme for normally to heavily soiled cottons/linen. JMO

Programme for cottons/linen for which are labelled for different wash temperatures. JM
Items which according to their care symbols are normally to be washed separately at
40 °C or at 60 °C, can be washed together in this programme. This makes better use
of the drum capacity and thus saves energy. Through an increased wash time the
washing results of a normal 60° programme are achieved.

Programme for easy-care mixed fibres and synthetics. IKN

Special programme at 40 °C for easy-care textiles which after being washed using KN
this programme need be only lightly ironed or not ironed at all.

 Before the first wash
1. Open the detergent drawer.
2. Pour approx. 1 litre of water through the detergent drawer into the
washing machine.
This closes the water container when the next programme is started
and the economy valve can function properly.
3. In order to remove any residues from the drum and water container
which may have been left during manufacturing, perform the first
wash cycle without any washing in the machine. Programme:
(COTTONS/LINEN) 60, press ] (QUICK WASH), add approx. 1/4
measuring cup of washing powder.

Preparing and sorting washing

Preparing washing
• Empty 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 sensitive and small items in a net or a pillow case, e.g. net cur-
tains, tights, 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 care symbol G (= do not wash!)
in the washing machine.

10
Running a washing cycle
Opening the door/Loading the washing
1. To open the door: gently pull the handle on the door.
When the machine is switched on, the lights (DOOR) and
(START/PAUSE) indicate whether the door can be opened:

light (DOOR) light (START/PAUSE) Can the door be opened?

lit green flashes red or is off yes

yes, after pressing the
lit green lit red
(START/PAUSE) button
lit red flashes red no, water level too high or
or is off or lit red temperature too high

2. Unfold washing and load it loosely

into the machine. Mix large and
small items.
Important: Do not get any washing
caught between the door and the
rubber seal.
3. Press the door firmly shut. Door
catch must audibly latch.

Adding detergent/additives
Important: Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use
in domestic washing machines.
Dose detergent and additives according to the instructions of the de-
tergent and additive manufacturers. Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
Dosing depends upon:
– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the size of the load
– the degree of hardness of the water supply.
• If the manufacturer does not give instructions for small loads: for a
half load, use a third less, for a very small load, use only half of the
detergent that is recommended for a full load.
• From water hardness 2 (= medium) upwards, water softener should
be used. Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness 1
(= soft). Your local water company will be able to give you informa-
tion about the water hardness in your area.
11
 1. Pull the detergent dispenser drawer out as far as the stop.
2. Add the detergent/additives.
3. Push the drawer in fully.

indicates the programme steps
that the selected programme will
perform.
– In the multi-display the
estimated length of the programme (in minutes) appears.

12
Changing the spin speed/Selecting rinse hold
The washing machine suggests the
maximum permitted speed that is
suitable for the selected pro-
gramme. You can reduce this speed:

Press the spin/ (RINSE HOLD)

button a number of times until the
desired indicator lights up.
3 The speed for the final spin can still be altered during the programme.
To do this:
1. Press the (START/PAUSE) button.
2. Change the spin speed.
3. Press the (START/PAUSE) button again.
(RINSE HOLD)
With (RINSE HOLD) the washing remains submerged in the final
rinse water. No final spin takes place, but an intermediate spin does.
The intermediate spin cycle is independent of the programme used and
cannot be changed.

13
 Selecting the programme options
If desired, press the programme op-
tion button(s). The corresponding
indicator lights up.
3 If ”Err” flashes in the multi-dis-
play, the programme option select-
ed cannot be combined with the
wash programme set.

EXTRA RINSE
Two additional rinse cycles will be carried out (e.g. in the case of sensi-
tive skin) for the programmes ECO (ENERGY SAVING), (COTTONS/
LINEN), (DELICATES), (EASY-CARES) and l (EASY IRON).

QUICK WASH
Shortened wash programme for less soiled items.

PRE-WASH
Warm pre-wash before the main wash cycle which follows automati-
cally; with intermediate spinning for (COTTONS/LINEN) and
(EASY-CARES), without intermediate spinning for (DELICATES).

STAIN
For heavily soiled or stained items. Stain treatment is rinsed in at an
optimal time in the programme.
Only for wash temperatures of 40° and upwards, as stain treatments are
effective only at higher temperatures.

SENSITIVE
Increased rinse effectiveness due to an additional rinse cycle with a
parallel decrease in drum movement (fabric care). Ideal if items must
be washed frequently e.g. due to extra sensitive skin.

14
Setting the delay timer
3 Using the button (DELAY TIMER) you can delay the start of a pro-
gramme by 30 minutes (30') to a maximum of 23 hours (23h).
1. Select the programme.
2. Press the button (DELAY TIMER) repeatedly until the multi-display
shows the desired time delay, e. g., 12h, if the programme is to start in
12 hours. The indicator (DELAY TIMER)will light up.
3 If the display is showing 23h and you press the button again, the time
delay will be cancelled. 0' will appear followed by the length of the
wash programme that has been set.
3. To activate the delay timer, press the button START/PAUSE. The
time remaining to the start of the programme is continuously displayed
(e. g., 12h, 11h, 10h,... 30' etc.).

Starting a programme
1. Check that the tap is turned on.
2. Press the button (START/PAUSE). The programme is started or it
starts after the time delay set has elapsed.
3 If after pressing the button (START/PAUSE) E40 flashes in the
multi-display, the (END) indicator flashes 4x and at the same time an
acoustic signal sounds 4x, the door has not been correctly shut. Push
the door firmly closed and press the button (START/PAUSE) again.

Programme progress
• The programme progress display shows the programme step that is
currently being carried out.
– (Prewash)

– (End)
• The multi-display shows the estimated time remaining (in hours and
minutes) until the end of the programme.
3 The remaining programme time may increase or briefly remain constant
during the wash programme as the programme adjusts to various con-
ditions while washing (e. g. type of washing, amount of washing, rec-
ognising out-of-balance when spinning, special rinse cycle, etc.).
15

• Too little detergent is being used.
• The right detergent was not used.
• Special soiling was not pre-treated.
• Programme or temperature was not correctly set.
There are grey stains on the washing.
• Washing soiled with ointment, grease or oil was washed with too lit-
tle detergent.
• It was washed at too low a temperature.
• A common cause is that fabric conditioner – especially a concentrate
– has got onto the washing. Such stains should be washed out as
quickly as possible and make sure that you are careful when using
fabric conditioner.
After the last rinse foam can still be seen.
• Modern detergents may create foam even in the last rinse cycle. The
washing is however sufficiently rinsed.

 There are white residues on the washing.
• This is due to the insoluble ingredients in modern detergents.
They are not caused by insufficient rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out
before washing. Check your choice of detergent. Especially with dark
colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents.

Carrying out an emergency drain

1 Warning! Before emergency draining, switch off the washing machine

2. Take out the emergency drain hose.

3. Place a shallow container under-

neath it. Then loosen the drain plug
by turning it in an anti-clockwise
direction and pull it out.
4. The water runs out. If it is necessary
to empty the container more than
once, seal up the emergency drain
hose with the drain plug while you
are doing so.
When the water has all drained away:
5. Push the drain plug firmly into the emergency drain hose and screw it
tight in a clockwise direction.
6. Place the emergency drain hose back in the support.
7. Insert the plinth flap and close it.

 Where to install
Important! The appliance must not be used in a room where there is a
danger of frost. Frost damage or impaired operation! Frost damage is
not covered by the warranty.
• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be firm
and level. Do not install the appliance on carpets or on soft floor cov-
erings.
• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean
and dry and free from coverings that move, so that the appliance
does not slide.
• If the location in which the appliance is to be installed is fitted with
small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under
the appliance.
If the appliance is to stand on a
plinth:
In order for the appliance to be se-
cure on the plinth, fixing plates*)
must be mounted, into which the
appliance is inserted.

If the appliance is to stand on floors that vibrate, e. g. floors of

wooden joists with deal boards:
If possible, install the appliance in one corner of the room.
1. Screw a water-resistant wooden board (at least 15 mm thick) onto at
least 2 of the floor joists.
2. Affix fixing plates *) onto the wooden board, into which the appliance
is inserted.
*) The fixing plates can be obtained from the Customer Care Depart-
ment.

28
Making the appliance level
The four feet of the appliance are
pre-adjusted.
Large degrees of unevenness can be
compensated for by individually ad-
justing the height adjustable screw
feet.
Use the special spanner supplied to
do this.
Important! Do not use pieces of
wood, cardboard or such like to lev-
el out unevenness in the floor, but
adjust the height adjustable screw
feet instead.

Electrical connection
Details about the voltage, type of supply and the fuses required are to
be found on the rating plate. The rating plate is next to the doorway.

Connecting to the water supply

Important!
• This appliance must not be connected to the hot water system.
• When connecting it, 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 1bar (=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.) Re-insert the filter.

29
 Water inflow
A 1.50 m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance.
If a longer water inlet hose is required, only original hoses are to be
used. The Customer Care Department 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 seals.
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. Open the water tap slowly and check
all connections for water tightness.

30
Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface
on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only original hoses may be used to extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m
laid on the floor and then 80 cm vertically). The Customer Care Depart-
ment stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.
Draining water into a sink outlet
Secure the outlet/sink outlet joint
with a hose band clip (available from
your dealer).

Draining water into a wash basin/bath

1 Important!
– Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter may overflow.
– The end of the drain hose must
not be in the water that has been
pumped out. Otherwise water
could be sucked back into the ap-
pliance.
– When draining into a wash basin
or a bath, secure the drain hose
with the supplied elbow to stop it
slipping. Otherwise the water run-
ning out can force the hose out of
the basin.
– When pumping the water out,
check that the water is running
away fast enough.

Pumping heights over 1 m

The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of
1meter, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.
Warning! If pumping height is over 1 metre, malfunctions and damage
to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained.
Please contact the Customer Care Department.
