For normal washing machine operation, the pressure in the water mains should be between 0.05
and 0.8 MPa (0,5 - 8 bar). Minimum dynamic water pressure can be determined by measuring the
water flow. In 15 seconds, 0,8 US gal lqd (3 litres) of water should flow from a fully open tap.
If your model has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the
cold water supply (blue wing nut or blue mark on the hose) and the other one to the hot water
supply (red wing nut or red mark on the hose), as indicated on the back of the washing machine.
Connections are labelled with letters C and H (C = cold, H = hot). HOT water (mixture of hot and
cold water) is only added for programmes at WARM or higher.
Tighten the water supply hose by hand, firmly enough for the hose to have a good seal (max. 2 Nm).
After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked for any leaks. Do not use pliers or similar tools
when connecting the hose as this could damage the nut thread.
Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses.

ADDING/REMOVING LAUNDRY DURING WASHING MACHINE OPERATION
After a certain period of time, the washing machine door can be opened if the water level and
temperature are below a predefined threshold.
If the conditions below are met, then the electronic door lock is released and the washing machine
door can be opened:
• water temperature in the drum has to be suitable,
• water level in the drum has to be below a certain value.
In order to add or remove laundry from the washing machine during programme operation, proceed
as follows:
1. Press the (3) START/PAUSE button.
2. If all conditions for release of electronic door lock are met, then you can open the washing
machine door and add or remove laundry from the drum.
3. Close the washing machine door!

The washing program will resume.
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.
Washing time will resume from the point at which the washing programme was interrupted.
ERRORS
In case of an error or fault, the programme will be interrupted.
Flashing signal lights and an acoustic signal will warn about such occurrence (see
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE), and the error will be indicated on the display (E:XX).

Noise and vibration
Make sure the appliance is levelled using the
adjustable legs and that the jam nuts are securely
tightened.
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.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING
AND ECONOMIC USE YOUR
WASHING MACHINE
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.
Apply a special stain remover on stubborn stains before the wash. We recommend referring to
STAIN REMOVAL TIPS.
With slightly soiled laundry, we recommend a programme without a pre-wash cycle, use of shorter
programmes (e.g. TIMECARE) and a lower washing temperature.
If you often wash laundry at low temperatures and with liquid detergents, bacteria may spawn
which can cause odour in the washing machine. To prevent such odour, we recommend
occasionally running the Steril tub (Self-cleaning programme) (see PROGRAMME TABLE).
We recommend avoiding washing very small amounts of laundry as this will lead to excessive use
of energy and poorer washing machine performance.
Loosen any folded laundry before putting it into the drum.
Only use detergents for machine washing.
In case of excessive foaming in the washing machine or leak of foam through the detergent
dispenser tray, the washed laundry must be rinsed thoroughly with a large amount of water. Choose
a washing program, but do not add any detergent.
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.
If water hardness exceeds 250 p.p.m. (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.
Use of chlorine-based bleaches is not recommended as they can damage the heater.
Do not add hardened lumps of powder detergent into the detergent dispenser as this may clog the
piping in the washing machine.
718579en.indd 55718579en.indd 55 5. 11. 2020 08:28:225. 11. 2020 08:28:22
718579
56
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.
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.

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.
Pour the conditioner into the dispenser tray, into the compartment with the symbol . Observe
the recommendation on the conditioner packaging.
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.

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!
Stains Stain removal
Mud 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.
Antiperspirant 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.
Tea Soak or rinse the laundry in cold water and add stain remover if
necessary.
Chocolate Soak or rinse the laundry with lukewarm soapy water. Then, apply
lemon juice and rinse.
Ink 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.
Felt tip pens 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.
Baby food (urine, mud,
food stains)
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 remover.
Grass 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.
Eggs 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.
Coffee Soak the garment in salt water. If the stain is not fresh, soak it with a
mixture of glycerine, ammonia and alcohol.
Shoe polish Apply cooking oil to the stain and rinse.
718579en.indd 59718579en.indd 59 5. 11. 2020 08:28:285. 11. 2020 08:28:28

Stains Stain removal
Blood Fresh stain – rinse the garment with cool water and wash it in the
washing machine.
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.
Glue, chewing gum Place the garment in a bag and put it in the freezer until the stain
hardens. Then, remove it with a blunt knife. Then, dilute the stain
with a prewash stain remover and rinse thoroughly. Then, wash the
laundry as usual.
Makeup Use a stain remover for the prewash; then, wash in the washing
machine.
Butter Before washing in the washing machine, apply stain remover to the
stain. Then, rinse with hot water (as hot as the fabric will al-low).
Milk Soak the garment in an enzyme-based stain remover. Soak for at
least 30 minutes or a few hours if the stains are stubborn. Then, wash
in the washing machine.
Fruit juice Apply a mixture of salt and water on the stain. Leave to take effect
for a while, then rinse. You can apply sodium bicarbonate, distilled
vinegar or lemon juice on the stain before washing in the washing
machine. For old stains, use glycerine. After 20 minutes, rinse with
cold water, then wash the laundry in the washing machine.
Wine Soak the laundry in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Also, use a
stain remover. Then, wash in the washing machine.
Wax Put the garment into the freezer until the wax hardens. Then, scrape
it off. Remove the remaining wax by placing a paper towel onto the
stain, and then heat it with an iron until the paper absorbs the wax.
Sweat Before washing in the washing machine, rub liquid detergent
thoroughly into the stain.
Chewing gum Put the garment into the freezer until the chewing gum hardens.
Then, scrape it off. Then, wash in the washing machine.
