washing results.
■ Energy-saving mode: The control
panel lighting and timeLight (display
on the floor ~ Page 40) will go out
after a few minutes. The start button
will flash. Press any button to
activate the lighting.
Energy-saving mode will not be

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.
■ The end of the drain hose is not
immersed in the drained water.
■ The water drains away quickly
enough.
Note: Do not kink the water drain hose
or put strain on it lengthways.
Connection to a siphon
Height difference between the
installation area and the drain
■ for AquaSecure and standard
models, min. 60 cm - max. 100 cm,
■ for AquaStop models 0 -
max. 100 cm.
Levelling
Incorrect alignment may result in loud
noises, vibration and the machine
"wandering".
All four of the appliance's feet must
stand firmly on the ground. The
appliance must not wobble.
Use a spirit level to check that the
appliance is level and aligned correctly.
If necessary, you can amend the
alignment of the appliance by adjusting
its feet.
The appliance must not touch the side
panels of the cabinets it is between.
The lock nuts on the appliance's front
feet must be firmly tightened against the
housing using a WAF17 spanner.

:Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
■ Never touch or hold the mains plug
with wet hands.
■ Only pull out the mains cable by the
plug and never by the cable, as this
could damage it.
■ Never unplug the mains plug during
operation.
Observe the following information and
ensure that:
Notes
■ The mains voltage and voltage
indicated on the washing machine
(rating plate) are the same.
The connected load and fuse
required are specified on the rating
plate.
■ The washing machine is only
connected to an alternating current
supply via a properly installed
earthed socket.
■ The mains plug fits the socket.
■ The cable cross-section is adequate.
■ The earthing system is properly
installed.
■ The mains cable is only replaced by
a qualified electrician (if this is
necessary). Replacement mains
cables are available from customer
services.
■ No multiple plugs/couplings or
extension cables are used.
■ If an earth-leakage circuit breaker is
used, only a type which displays the
z symbol is used.
Only this symbol guarantees
compliance with the currently
applicable regulations.
■ The mains plug can be accessed at
all times. If this is not possible, in
order to comply with the relevant
safety regulations, a switch (2-pole
switch-off) must be built into the
permanent installation in accordance
with electrical installation regulations.
■ The mains cable is not kinked,
squashed, altered or cut through.
■ The mains cable does not come into
contact with heat sources.

Caution!
Damage to the appliance/laundry
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paperclips,
needles, nails) may damage the laundry
or components of the washing machine.
You should therefore do the following
when preparing your laundry:
■ Empty any pockets.
■ Look out for metal objects
(paperclips, etc.) and remove them.
■ Wash delicates in a laundry bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc.).
■ Close any zips; button up any cover
buttons.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
■ Remove curtain fittings or place
curtains in a laundry bag.
Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:
■ Type of fabric/fibre
■ Colour
Note: Laundry can discolour or not
be cleaned correctly. Wash white
and coloured items separately.
Wash new coloured items separately
the first time you wash them.
■ Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
Some examples of soiling levels can
be found on ~ Page 34.
– Light: Do not prewash, select the
speed setting if necessary
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry, select
a program with prewash
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains
while they are fresh. Firstly, dab
with soapy water; do not rub.Then
wash the items of laundry with
the appropriate program.
Stubborn or dried-in stains can
sometimes only be removed by
washing several times.

Placing laundry into the drum
:Warning
Risk of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with
cleaning agents that contain solvents,
e.g. stain remover/white spirit, may
cause an explosion after being loaded
into the washing machine.
Hand-rinse these items of laundry
thoroughly beforehand.
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
load.
■ Do not exceed the maximum
specified load. Overfilling has an
adverse effect the washing result
and encourages creasing.
1. Place pre-sorted items of laundry
(unfolded) in the washing machine
drum.
2. Close the door.
Note: Make sure that you do not
trap any items of laundry between
the door and the rubber seal when
doing so.
