DOSING AID Helps to dose the right amount of
detergent for your laundry load.
Before using this option:
The concentration of detergents
available on the market diers
considerably. For that reason, adapt
the washing machine to the dosing
amounts of the detergents which you
use.
Furthermore, check if the washing
machine’s preset water hardness level
(soft) corresponds to your local water
hardness level – if not adapt it (see
“DOSING AID / FIRST USE”)..
See separate section Dosing Aid – First
use / Daily use
START DELAY Moves the start of your programme
to a later time. Helps to prot from
more favourable energy rates
(e.g.during the night), or to have the

Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum
load size for the programmes, as indicated in the
programme chart.
Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated
in the detergents manufacturer’s instructions. Use
the Dosing Aid function; prepare this function as
indicated in “DOSING AID / FIRST USE”.
Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only.
Pretreat stains with stain remover, or soak dried
in stains in water before washing, to reduce the
necessity of a hot wash programme.
SAVING TIPS
Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 95° C
wash programme, or a 40° C instead of a 60° C
wash programme. For cotton laundry, prefer using
programme Eco Cotton with 40°C or 60°C.
Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in the laundry
before using a tumble dryer.
Use option “Colours 15°” for lightly soiled laundry,
to save energy for water heating.

and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose
available through our After-Sales Service or your
specialist dealer.
Depending on the hose type:
If the inlet hose has a transparent coating,
periodically check if the colour intensies locally.
If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be
replaced.

WARNING
Switch o and unplug the washing machine before
cleaning the water lter or draining residual water.
If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the
water has cooled down before draining any water.
If the water cannot drain, the “Water lter
clogged” failure indicator lights up.
Clean the water lter regularly, to avoid that the
water cannot drain after the wash due to clogging
of the water lter.
If your washing machine model has no emergency
drain hose:
Place a broad, at container beneath the water
lter, to collect the drain water.
3. Drain the water:
If your washing machine model has an emergency
drain hose:
Remove the stopper at the end of the hose and
let the water ow into the container. When the
container is full with water, plug the stopper to
the hose end and empty the container. Repeat
this procedure until no more water ows out.
Afterwards rmly close the emergency drain hose
with the stopper and reinsert the hose in the
washing machine’s base.
CLEANING THE WATER FILTER / DRAINING
RESIDUAL WATER

When the container is full, close the water lter by
turning it in clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat
this procedure until all the water has drained.
4. Remove lter: Lay a cotton cloth beneath the
water lter, which can absorb a small amount of
rest water. Then remove the water lter by turning
it out anticlockwise.
5. Clean the water lter: remove residues in the
lter and clean it under running water.
6. Insert the water lter and reinstall the plinth:
Reinsert the water lter again by turning it in
clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far
as it goes; the lter handle must be in vertical
position. To test water tightness of the water
