Carefully read the instructions for use before using the
washing machine.
Please, do not use the washing machine without reading
and understanding these instructions or use first.
These instructions for use of a washing machine are
supplied with different types or models of washing
machines. Therefore, they may include descriptions
of settings or equipment that are not available in your
washing machine.
Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate
use of the washing machine may result in damage to the
laundry or the appliance, or injury to the user. Keep the
instruction manual handy, near the washing machine.
Your washing machine is intended solely for household
use. If the washing machine is used for professional,
for-profit purpose or purpose exceeding normal use in a
household, or if the washing machine is used by a person
who is not a consumer, the warranty period shall be equal to
the shortest warranty period required by relevant legislation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
846819
5
Follow the instructions for correct installation of the washing
machine and connection to the water and power mains (see
chapter »INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION«).
Connection to water and power supply has to be executed
by an adequately trained technician or expert.
Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or
performance should be done by trained experts.
To avoid danger, a damaged power cord may only be
replaced by the manufacturer, a service technician, or an
authorized person.
Before connecting the washing machine to the power
mains, wait for at least 2 hours until it reaches room
temperature.
In case of a defect, only use approved spare parts by
authorized manufacturers.
In case of incorrect washing machine connection, incorrect
use, or servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall
bear the cost of any damage as such damage shall not be
covered by warranty.
The washing machine may not be connected to the power
mains using an extension cord.
Do not connect the washing machine to power mains using
an external switching device such as a programme timer, or
connect it to power mains that is regularly switched on and
off by the power supply provider.

6
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may
present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service
Personnel - Do not contact the following parts while the
appliance is energized: Motor, Pump and Control unit.
Do not install the washing machine in a room where the
temperature can drop to below 41°F (5°C), as washing
machine parts may be damaged in case of water freezing.
Place the washing machine on a level and stable solid
(concrete) base.
If the washing machine is placed on an elevated stable base,
the washing machine has to be additionally secured against
tipping.
Before the first use of the washing machine, remove the
blocking rods, as switching on a blocked washing machine
can result in serious damage (see chapter »INSTALLATION
AND CONNECTION/Removing the blocking rods«). Warranty
shall be void in cases of such damage.
To connect the washing machine to water supply, make
sure to use the supplied water supply hose and gaskets.
Water pressure has to be between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa (0.5 – 8
bar).
Always use a new water supply hose to connect the washing
machine to water supply; do not reuse an old water supply
hose.
846819
7
The end of the water discharge hose should reach into a
water drain line.
Before the start of the washing cycle, press the door on the
indicated spot until it locks into place. The door cannot be
opened during washing machine operation.
We recommend removing any impurities from the
washing machine drum before the first wash using the
Cotton Extra Hot programme (see PROGRAMME TABLE).
After the washing cycle, close the water tap and pull out
the washing machine plug from the power socket.
Clean the pump filter whenever the symbol appears on the
display unit.
Only use the washing machine for washing laundry, as
described in the instruction manual. The machine is not
intended for dry cleaning.
Only use agents for machine washing and care of
laundry. We shall not be responsible for any damages or
discolouration of gaskets and plastic parts resulting from
incorrect use of bleaching or colouring agents.
When descaling, only use descaling agents with added
anti-corrosion protection. (Only use non-corrosive descaling
agents.) Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Finish the
descaling process with several rinse cycles or by running the
Sanitize Tub (Self-cleaning programme) in order to remove
any residual acid (e.g. vinegar etc.).
846819
8
Do not use detergents that contain solvents as this could
lead to release of poisonous gases, damage to the washing
machine, and risk of fire and explosion.
No silver ions are released during the washing programme.
The washing machine is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with physical or mental impairments,
or persons with lacking experience and knowledge. These
persons should be instructed about the use of the washing
machine by a person responsible for their safety.
The warranty does not cover consumables, minor
deviations in colour, increased noise that results from
appliance age and which does not affect the functionality of
the appliance, and aesthetic defects on components, which
do not affect the functionality and safety of the appliance.
CHILD SAFETY
Before closing the washing machine door and running the
programme, make sure there is nothing except laundry in the
drum (e.g. if a child climbed into the washing machine drum
and closed the door from the inside).
Keep the detergent and conditioner out of reach of children.
Activate the child lock. See chapter »CHOOSING THE
SETTINGS/Child lock«.
Do not let children younger than three years come
near the appliance, unless they are under constant
supervision.

The washing machine is made in compliance with all
relevant safety standards.
This washing machine may be used by children aged 8
years and above and by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, but only if they are supervised during the use of
the washing machine, if they have been provided relevant
instructions regarding safe use of the washing machine, and
if they understand the hazards of inappropriate use. Make
sure children do not play with the appliance. Children may
not clean the washing machine or perform any maintenance
tasks without supervision.
DANGER OF HOT SURFACE
At higher washing temperatures, the door glass will heat up.
Be careful to avoid burns. Make sure children do not play
near the door glass.
WATER OVERFLOW PROTECTION (WITH WASHING
MACHINE SWITCHED ON)
If the water level in the appliance rises above normal level,
then the excess water level protection will be activated. It will
shut off the water supply and start pumping out the water.
The program is interrupted and an error is reported (see
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE).
TRANSPORT/TRANSPORT AFTER INSTALLATION
If you intend to move the washing machine after it has
been installed, then it should be blocked by inserting at
least one blocking rod (see chapter »INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION/Moving and transport«). Before inserting the
blocking rods, disconnect the washing machine from the
power mains!
