6. WASHING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP (1–7)
This chapter describes how to:
step 1: sort the laundry,
step 2: load the laundry into the washing machine and add detergents,
step 3: switch on the washing machine,
step 4: select the washing programme,
step 5: select additional functions,
step 6: start the washing programme,
step 7: complete the washing cycle.
6.1 Sort the laundry
1. Sort the laundry by type of fabric, colour, soiling, and allowed washing temperature (see Set of
washing programs).
Wash the laundry that sheds a lot of fibre or lint separately from other laundry.
2. Before using the washing machine, carefully remove any solid objects and particles from the
textiles you intend to wash to prevent damage to the appliance or clogging of the pump filter.
This includes (also check all pockets and flaps):
• solid objects (e.g., screws, clips, small stones, hay, etc.),
• food residues (e.g., bones, dried dough, etc.),
• dried particles of construction materials (e.g., mortar, sand, mud, etc.).
3. Close the buttons and zippers, tie any ribbons, and turn the pockets inside out; remove any
metal clips that could damage the laundry and washing machine interior, or clog the drain.
Empty the pockets. Coins, nails etc. could damage the machine and the fabric.
4. Place very sensitive clothes and small items in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.
(The special-purpose laundry bag is available as an optional accessory.)
WARNING!
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for malfunctions resulting from failure to follow
these instructions, which may also affect the validity of the warranty. Furthermore, the manu-
facturer does not cover service costs in the event of foreign objects in the pump or pump

INFORMATION!
In terms of energy and water consumption, programmes that operate at lower temperatures
and last longer are generally the most efficient.
INFORMATION!
Noise and residual moisture content are affected by the spinning rate: the higher the spinning
rate in the spin cycle, the higher the noise and the lower the residual moisture content.
INFORMATION!
Add powder or liquid detergents according to the manufacturer's instructions, considering
the washing temperature, washing program, how soiled the laundry is, and water hardness.
When excessive foaming occurs in the washing machine or foam spills through the dosing
container, the washed laundry must be thoroughly rinsed. Choose a washing programme with
a large amount of water without using detergent.
INFORMATION!
Maximum amount of laundry in kg (for the Cotton programme) is indicated on the rating plate
fitted under the washing machine door (see chapter WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION /
Technical data on the rating plate).
Maximum or nominal load applies to laundry prepared pursuant to the IEC 60456 standard.
For better washing effect, we recommend loading the drum to 2/3 when using the Cotton
programmes.
INFORMATION!
Low water temperature, low mains voltage and different washing loads may affect the washing
time; the remaining time displayed is adjusted accordingly during the washing process.

INFORMATION!
If you add a considerable amount of laundry during the wash, the laundry could be washed
less effectively, since the washing machine initially sensed a lower weight of the load of
laundry and added a smaller amount of water. Insufficient amount of water relative to the
amount of laundry could also cause damage to the laundry (rubbing of dry laundry), and
washing time can be longer.
Power supply failure
In case of a power supply failure, the washing programme is interrupted. When power supply is
restored, the washing programme is resumed from the point at which it was interrupted. Upon
completion of the washing cycle, End / PF will alternate on the display unit. This informs the user

9. TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICING
In this chapter, you will learn:
- how to act in case of malfunctions or problems during washing,
- descriptions of warnings, alerts, and error messages displayed on the screen,
- when and how to contact the service centre,
- what to do in case of a warranty claim and what the warranty covers,
- where to order spare parts.
9.1 What to do in case of problems?
The washing machine shall automatically control the operation of particular functions during the
washing cycle. If any irregularity is identified, this will be indicated by reporting (E:XX) on the display.
The washing machine will report the error until it is switched off. Disturbances from the environment
(e.g. the power grid) may result in various error reports (see the comming chapter).
In such case:
• Switch off the washing machine and wait for a few seconds.
• Switch on the washing machine and repeat the washing programme.
• Most errors during operation can be resolved by the user (see the comming chapter).
• If the error occurs again, call an authorized service unit.
• Repairs may only be carried out by an adequately trained person.
INFORMATION!
Noise and vibration – make sure the appliance is levelled using the adjustable legs and that
the jam nuts are securely tightened.
The UKS - stability control system
Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of laundry in the washing machine drum can cause problems
such as vibration and noisy operation. The washing machine detects such problems and the UKS*
(*stability control system) will be activated.
Smaller loads (e.g. one towel, one sweater, one bathrobe etc.) or clothes made of materials with special
geometrical properties are virtually impossible to distribute evenly across the washing machine drum
(slippers, large items etc.). This results in several attempts to redistribute the laundry, which in turn
leads to longer programme duration. In extreme cases of unfavourable conditions, the programme
can be completed without the spinning cycle.
The UKS* (*stability control system) allows stable operation and a longer washing machine useful life.
The following lists all the errors that the user can see on the user interface.

10. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING AND
ECONOMIC USE
In this chapter, you will find advice on:
- optimal washing results and how to use detergents and fabric softeners,
- removing limescale to extend the lifespan of your washing machine,
- removing stains before washing laundry,
- recommendations for using detergents.
10.1 Tips for optimal laundry results
Wash new coloured garments separately the first time.
Wash heavily soiled laundry in smaller amounts, with more powder detergent or with a pre-wash
cycle.
With slightly soiled laundry, we recommend a programme without a pre-wash cycle, use of
shorter programmes (e.g. Speed 14') and a lower washing temperature.
Apply a special stain remover on stubborn stains before the wash.
Use of chlorine-based bleaches is not recommended as they can damage the heater.
We recommend avoiding washing very small amounts of laundry as this will lead to excessive use of
energy and poorer washing machine performance.
You can save energy and water by filling up the washing machine to the capacity specified by the
manufacturer for each programme.
INFORMATION!
The following information is accessible via the QR AUID code on the rating plate (see chapter
WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION / Technical data):
• rated capacity in kg;
• duration of the programme in hours and minutes;
• energy consumption in kWh per cycle;
• water consumption;
• maximum temperature reached in the washing machine drum;
• residual moisture content after washing cycle and spinning rate.
At higher spinning rates, there will be less residual moisture in the laundry. As a result, drying in a
tumble dryer will be more economical and faster.
Loosen any folded laundry before putting it into the drum.
Detergents
INFORMATION!
Detergents carrying the environment protection label are less harmful to the environment.
71
Only add the detergents in compliance with the recommendations by detergent manufacturers.
Recommended amount of washing detergent at certain loads and water hardness levels are specified
on the detergent packaging.
To correctly dose detergents, especially liquid ones, use the accessories provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
INFORMATION!
We recommend adding powder detergent immediately before the washing cycle. If you add
it sooner, make sure the detergent compartment in the dispenser tray is completely dry before
adding the powder detergent: otherwise, the powder detergent may cake before the start of
the washing process.
Only use detergents for machine washing.
When using thick liquid laundry care products, we recommend diluting them with water to prevent
clogging the dispenser tray drain.
Liquid detergents are intended for washing programmes without a prewash cycle.
You can use all modern detergents intended for household washing machines. The detergent packaging
contains instructions for use and dosing, which apply to the maximum amount of filling.
The detergent dosage depends on:
• how heavily soiled the laundry is;
• the amount of laundry and
• water hardness.
Hardness levels
Water hardness
p.p.m.°fH (°F)m mol/l°dH (°N)
< 150< 15< 1,5< 8,41 – soft
150–25015–251,5–2,58,4–142 – normal
> 250> 25> 2,5> 143 – hard
INFORMATION!
Check the information on water hardness with your local water supply company or authority.
Softeners
INFORMATION!
Pour the conditioner into the dispenser tray, into the compartment with the symbol . Observe
the recommendation on the conditioner packaging.
72
INFORMATION!
Do not fill the conditioner compartment over the max. indication (maximum indicated level).
Otherwise, the conditioner will be added to the laundry too soon, leading to poorer washing
effect.
10.2 Prevention and removal of limescale
If you wash at low temperatures and/or with liquid detergents, microorganisms and unpleasant odours
may develop in the washing machine. After each wash, leave the washing machine door open to allow
the appliance to dry. If you notice an unpleasant odour, run the cleaning Ultra clean programme.
To prevent and remove limescale deposits only use agents with added anti-corrosion protection.
Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions. To remove limescale deposits, we recommend
starting the Ultra clean programme. Add spirit vinegar (2 dL).
If water hardness exceeds 14°dH, water softener should be used. Heater damage resulting from
incorrect use of water softeners shall not be covered by the warranty. Check the information on water
hardness with your local water supply company or authority.
73
10.3 Stain removal tips
Before using special-purpose stain removers, try using the natural methods that do not harm the
environment on less stubborn stains.
However, prompt action is required! Soak the stain with an absorbent sponge or a paper towel; then,
rinse with cold (lukewarm) water – but never with hot water!
When using bleaches or stain removal agents, there is danger of rust (corrosion) and
discolouration.
WARNING!
To protect the environment, we advise against using powerful chemicals.
Stain removalStains
When the stain is dry, first scrape it off the garment before washing it in the
washing machine. If the stain is stubborn, soak it with an enzyme-based stain
remover before the wash. If the stain is not stubborn, wash the laundry with liquid
detergent or powder detergent and water before the wash.
Mud
Before washing in the washing machine, apply liquid detergent onto the laundry.
Apply stain removers on any stubborn stains. Alternatively, use oxygen-based
bleach for the wash.
Antiperspirant
Soak or rinse the laundry in cold water and add stain remover if necessary.Tea
Soak or rinse the laundry with lukewarm soapy water. Then, apply lemon juice
and rinse.
Chocolate
Before washing in the washing machine, apply stain removers on the stain. You
may also use denatured alcohol. Turn the garment inside out and place a paper
towel under the stain. Use the alcohol on the back side of the stain. At the end
of the pro-cess, thoroughly rinse the garment.
Ink
Dilute some starch in water and apply it to the stain. When it dries, scrape it off
with a brush; then, wash the garment in the washing machine.
Felt tip pens
Before washing in the washing machine, soak the stains in lukewarm water for
at least half an hour. For easier stain re-moval, add an enzyme-based stain re-
mover.
Baby clothes (ur-
ine, mud, food
stains)
Before washing in the washing machine, soak the laundry in an enzyme-based
stain remover. Grass stains can also be re-moved by soaking (for approx. 1
hour) in diluted lemon juice or distilled vinegar.
Grass
Soak the garment in an enzyme-based stain remover. Soak in cold water for at
least 30 minutes or a few hours if the stains are stubborn. Then, wash in the
washing machine.
Eggs
Soak the garment in salt water. If the stain is not fresh, soak it with a mixture
of glycerine, ammonia and alcohol.
Coffee
Apply cooking oil to the stain and rinse.Shoe polish
Fresh stain – rinse the garment with cool water and wash it in the washing ma-
chine.
Blood
Dried stain – soak the garment in an enzyme-based stain remover. Then, wash
in the washing machine. If the stain does not vanish, try to remove it with a
bleach suitable for your garment.
74
