■

Only operate the washing machine

■ using cold mains water.

Do not connect the machine to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hotwater boiler.

■

■

■

■

■

Do not use a used supply hose. Only use the supply hose supplied or one that was purchased from an authorised specialist retailer.

Do not kink or squash the water supply hose.

Do not alter (shorten, cut through) the water supply hose (otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed).

Only tighten the screw connections by hand. If the screw connections are tightened too much with a tool

(pliers), the thread may become damaged.

When connecting to a 21 mm = ½" tap, first fit an adapter* with a sealing washer from 21 mm = ½" to

26.4 mm = ¾".

*supplied depending on the model

When the tap is open, the water flow rate is at least 8 l/min.

If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed.

Water outlet

:

Warning


When you are washing at high temperatures, there is a risk of scalding if you come into contact with hot water

(e.g. when draining hot water into a washbasin).

Do not reach into the hot water.

Caution!

Water damage

If the drain hose slips out of the washbasin or the connection point during draining due to high water pressure, any escaping water may cause water damage.

Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out.

Caution!

Damage to the appliance/fabrics

If the end of the drain hose is immersed in the drained water, water may be sucked back into the appliance and may damage the appliance/fabrics.

Make sure that:

■

The plug does not block drainage

■

■ from the washbasin.

Select a stain type (depending on the selected programme).

5.

Start the programme.

The washing machine adjusts the average washing temperature, drum movement and soaking time to the specific type of stain. Hot or cold water, gentle or intensive washing and long or short soaking ensure that the washprogramme sequence is specially adapted to each type of stain. This makes sure that stains are treated in the best possible way.

The treatment of two stains explained in the following example:

Blood

Blood is first “dissolved” in cold water, then the selected wash programme starts.

Egg

Egg particles are removed by soaking in the lukewarm water bath, selecting a wash cycle with a high water level and running additional rinse cycles.

Following intensive research, we have developed comparable solutions for other stains.

Placing laundry into the drum

:

Warning

Risk of death!

Items of laundry pretreated with cleaning agents that contain solvents, e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent, may cause an explosion after being loaded into the washing machine.

Hand-rinse these items of laundry thoroughly beforehand.

Load the pre-sorted, unfolded laundry into the drum. The load screen for the selected programme

(e.g. f

The load bar fills as the laundry is loaded. If the maximum load is exceeded, the bar flashes. Observe the maximum indicated load. Overfilling adversely affects the washing result and encourages creasing.

Notes

■

Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.

Laundry items of different sizes distribute themselves better during the spin cycle. Individual laundry items may cause an unbalanced

■

If required, adjust the basic dosage.

en


Base dosage

The basic dosages are:

■

■

For detergents

– based on the manufacturer’s recommendation for average soiling and the respective water hardness.

F or fabric softeners

– based on the manufacturer's recommendation for a medium level of softness.

Refer to the packaging label on your detergent/fabric softener or ask the manufacturer directly for this information.

To find out the hardness of your water supply, use a test strip or check with your water supplier.

My water hardness:

Below is an example of detergent dosages on a packaging label:

Degree of soiling →

Water hardness ↓

soft/medium 55 ml

75 ml

120 ml hard/very hard 75 ml

95 ml

150 ml

160 ml

180 ml

The default setting for the basic dosage is set specifically according to the area in which you live (e.g. 75 ml for detergent and 36 ml for fabric softener).

Set the basic detergent dosage according to the detergent's packaging label. Take your water hardness into consideration when doing so.

Select the basic fabric softener dosage according to how soft you would like your laundry to be.

Changing one basic dosage affects all three dosage quantities in the same way.

Notes

■

Reduce the basic dosage if using a

■ very concentrated detergent.

If large amounts of foam are repeatedly created during washing, please check your basic dosage and dosage quantity settings.

Certain types of liquid detergent can also create excessive amounts of foam. If your basic dosage and dosage quantity settings are correct, we advise you to use a different detergent.

Warning


Detergent and care products may spray out if the detergent drawer is opened while the appliance is in operation.

Open the drawer carefully.

Rinse eyes or skin thoroughly if they come into contact with detergent/care products.

If swallowed accidentally, seek medical advice.

Caution!


Cleaning agents and agents for pretreating laundry (e.g. stain removers, prewash sprays, etc.) may cause damage if they come into contact with the surfaces of the washing machine.

Do not allow these agents to come into contact with the surfaces of the washing machine. If necessary, immediately wipe away spray residue and other residues/ droplets with a damp cloth.

Notes

■

When dosing all detergents,

■ cleaning aids and cleaning agents, always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

If dosing detergent manually, do not

■ add additional detergent to the intelligent dosing dispenser (set intelligent dosing to

When your appliance is connected for the first time to a Wi-Fi network, which is connected to the Internet, your appliance transmits the following categories of data to the Home Connect server (initial registration):

■

■

■

■

Unique appliance identification

(consisting of appliance codes as well as the MAC address of the installed Wi-Fi communication module).

Security certificate of the Wi-Fi communication module (to ensure a secure data connection).

The current software and hardware version of your household appliance.

Status of any previous resetting to factory settings.

This initial registration prepares the

Home Connect functions for use and is only required when you want to use these Home Connect functions for the first time.

Note:

Ensure that the Home Connect functions can be used only in conjunction with the Home Connect app. Information on data protection can be accessed in the Home Connect app.

Sensors

Sensors

Automatic load sensing

Depending on the type of fabric and load, the automatic load sensing function optimally adjusts the water consumption and programme duration in each programme.

Unbalanced load detection system

The automatic unbalanced load detection system detects imbalances and ensures even distribution of the laundry by repeatedly starting and stopping drum spinning.

If the laundry is extremely unevenly distributed, the speed is reduced or the spin cycle is not performed for safety reasons.

Note:

Place large and small items of laundry evenly in the drum.

~

Page 44

,

~

Page 65

AquaSensor

Depending on the program and model

During a rinse cycle, the Aqua sensor checks the turbidity of the rinsing water

(turbidity is caused by dirt and detergent residue). The duration and the number of rinse cycles depend on the turbidity of the water.

Load sensor/display

The load sensor detects the load level in the washing machine when the door is open. This is indicated by the bar filling on the display panel.

Note:

In order for the load sensor to fully determine the amount of laundry, the drum must be empty before the washing machine is switched on.

Dosing recommendation

The dosing recommendation indicates a recommended detergent dosage as a percentage, depending on the selected programme and the detected load. The indicated % refers to the dosing recommendation of the detergent manufacturer.

Note:

By adhering to the dosing recommendation, you can help look after both the environment and your household budget.
