The new washing machine that you have just purchased is a modern, high-quality

household appliance.

Your washing machine is distinguished by its economical consumption of energy, water

and detergent.

Every washing machine that leaves our factory is carefully checked to ensure that it is

functioning properly and is free of defects. If there are any questions - especially

in regards to installing and connecting your washing machine - please do not hesitate

to contact our Customer Service department.

For further information about products, accessories, spare parts and services visit

our web site www.siemens-home.com or contact our after-sales service centres.

Please read and follow these operating and installation instructions and all other

information supplied.

Differences in installation and operating instructions for different models are noted

in the appropriate places.

Retain all documentation for subsequent use or for the next owner of the appliance.

Safety Instructions

Protection of the environment/Hints and tips

Your washing machine uses water, energy

and detergent efficiently. This protects our

environment and reduces your household

costs.

To use your washing machine in an efficient

and environmentally friendly manner:

•

Do not exceed recommended loads.

Cottons and Coloureds ....................5.5 kg

Easy Care............................................2.5 kg

Delicates/Silk......................................1.0 kg

Woollens..............................................1.5 kg

Automatic load sensing reduces the water

and energy consumption, as well as the

programme duration, for smaller loads.

•

Instead of ”Cottons 90°C”, select the

”60°C” programme + the ”Intensive”*

pushbutton. The extended washing time of

this 60°C programme achieves a cleaning

result comparable to that of the 90°C

programme, but uses considerably less

energy.

•

Do not use Prewash* for lightly to normally

soiled washing.

•

Use detergent according to Pollution

index, amount of laundry and water

hardness and follow the manufacturer's

directions.

* Depending upon the model.

Intended use

Your washing machine is intended

•

strictly for household use

•

for washing machine washable fabrics in

water

•

for use with cold drinking water and

standard commercial washing and

cleaning products that are suitable for use

in washing machines.

Safety Instructions

Do not leave children unsupervised near the

washing machine.

Keep pets away from the washing machine.

Do not insert/pull out the mains plug with

wet hands.

Do not pull out the mains plug by tugging on

the cable.

Do not climb onto the washing machine.

Follow the installation instructions.

Danger of suffocation!

Keep children away from shipping carton

and packaging components. Danger of

suffocation from folding cartons and plastic

film.

Danger!

On out-of-service appliances, unplug mains

plug. Cut off power chord and discard with

mains plug. Break the lock on the lid as this

will prevent children from locking themselves

in and suffocating.

•

the mains plug and socket are compatible,

• the cable cross-section is adequate,

• the earthing system has been installed

correctly.

Do not use multiple plugs/sockets or

extension cables.

Installation

Safety Instructions

Risk of Injury!

The washing machine is very heavy. Take

care when lifting it.

Frozen hoses may tear or burst. Do not

install the washing machine in an area

where there is a risk of freezing or

outdoors.

Do not lift the washing machine by any

projecting parts (e.g., lid handle). The

washing machine may be damaged.

In addition to the safety information listed here,

the local water and electricity supplier may

have special requirements.

If in doubt, have the appliance connected by

a specialist.

Installation surface

Stability is important so that the washing

machine does not ”wander“ during the spin

cycles. Surfaces used for installation must

be solid and even. Soft floor coverings, e.g.

carpets or floor coverings with a foam

backing are not suitable.

Adjustable feet:

(depending upon model)

Some appliances have two adjustable feet

available at the front with can be used to

correct for surface unevenness. Level and

stabilise the machine in the following

manner:

- Tip the washing machine gently

backwards.

- Depending upon the condition of the floor,

either turn out or screw in the foot or feet

(Figure 8)

- Check the stability of the washing machine.

Figure 8

Changing the mains lead

For reasons of safety, the mains lead is only

to be replaced by Customer Service which

is authorised to do so.

International Laundry Care Symbols



In order to assist you in taking care of your textiles, these contain a label with the necessary

information. The information is given by the following symbols :

©COFREET

Before the first washing - wash once without laundry articles

Before you wash laundry for the first time, we suggest running the ”COTTONS 90°C without

Prewash“ wash cycle without laundry and with 1/2 measuring cup of detergent. In this

way, any water left over from testing the machine will be removed.

The dots indicate the drying levels of the tumbler (laundry dryer).

The letters are for dry cleaning. They provide information in regards to solvents.

The line below the circle indicates that a reduction of mechanical action, moisture and temperature

is required during cleaning.

The dots indicate the temperature ranges of the automatically controlled iron.

The values in the washtub correspond to the maximum water temperatures that are not to be

exceeded. A line below the washtub indicates gentle (mechanical) handling (for example, washing

with slow rhythm). It denotes wash cycles that are suitable, for example, for Easy-Care and delicate

articles.
