too long you may have it shortened.
• The maximum length of the
combined hoses must not be longer
than 3.2 m.
Electrical connection
Connect the machine to an earthed outlet
protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
Important:
• Connection should comply with
national regulations.
• The voltage and the allowed fuse
protection are specified in the section
"Technical Specifications".
• The specified voltage must be equal
to your mains voltage.
• Connection via extension cords or
multi-plugs should not be made.
B A damaged power cable must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
B The appliance must not be operated
unless it is repaired! There is the risk
of electric shock!
3 Initial preparations for
washing
Preparing clothes for washing
Laundry items with metal attachments such
as, bras, belt buckles and metal buttons
will damage the machine. Remove metal
attachments or place the items in a clothing
bag, pillow case, or something similar.
• Sort the laundry according to type
of fabric, color, and degree of soiling
and permissible water temperature.
Always follow the advice on the
garment labels.
• Place small items like infants' socks
and nylon stockings, etc. in a laundry
bag, pillow case or something similar.
This will also save your laundry from
getting lost.
• Wash "machine washable" or "hand
washable" labeled products only with
an appropriate program.
• Do not wash colors and whites
together. New, dark colored cottons
may release a lot of dye. Wash them
separately.
• Use only dyes/color changers and
lime removers suitable for machine
wash. Always follow the instructions
on the packaging.
• Wash trousers and delicate clothes
turned inside out.
Correct load capacity
C
Please follow the information in the
"Program Selection Table". Washing
results will degrade when the
machine is overloaded.
Loading door
The door locks during program operation
and the Door Locked Symbol lights up. The
door can be opened when the symbol fades
out.
Detergents and softeners
Detergent Drawer
The detergent drawer is composed of three
compartments:
The detergent dispenser may be in two
different types according to the model of
your machine.
– (I) for prewash
– (II) for main wash
- (III) siphon
– ( ) for softener
Detergent, softener and other cleaning
agents
Add detergent and softener before starting
the washing program.
Never open the detergent dispenser drawer
while the washing program is running!
When using a program without pre-wash,
no detergent should be put into the pre-
wash compartment (Compartment no. I).
Detergent quantity
The amount of washing detergent to be
used depends on the amount of laundry, the
degree of soiling and water hardness.
• Do not use amounts exceeding
the quantities recommended on
the package to avoid problems of
excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial
savings and finally, environmental
protection.
• Never exceed the (> max <) level
marking; otherwise, the softener will
be wasted without being used.
• Do not use liquid detergent if you
want to wash using the time delay
feature.
