  • Detergent Drawer

    Pull out the detergent drawer until it reaches the stop.Add detergent or conditioner to sections I, II or :

    Section I: Detergent for prewash and soaking.

    Section II: Detergent for the main wash, bleach, modu-lar detergent, starch, water softener for soap programme.

    Section : Conditioning additives for the last rinse,e.g. fabric softener.

    The divider in Section II can be moved for different typesand quantities of detergent. If you use small quantities ofwashing powder, e.g. compact detergent:

    Pull the divider forward. The arrow on the divider po-ints to the symbol .

    If you use large quantities of washing powder or tablets:Push the divider all the way back (supplied in this

    position). The arrow on the divider points to the symbol .

    If you use liquid detergent:Pull the divider forward to the stop and press it down.

    The arrow on the divider points to the symbol .The scale on the divider helps you to measure your liquiddetergent.

    Note Use a dosing ball for liquid detergents for washing pro-grammes using the time preselect, placing it inside thedrum with the laundry (see page 7.)

    Liquid Container (for impregnation)

    Required for the special programme.

    Pull out the detergent drawer until it reaches the stop.Place the liquid container in sections I or II:Liquid container in Section I: spirit vinegar forimpregnation.Liquid container in Section II: impregnating product,liquid detergent for the special programme.

    Do not use for tablets, concentrates and powderdetergents!

    Detergents and Conditioners

    You can use all powder, compact (concentrated), tablet andliquid detergents commonly available for use in automaticwashing machines.

    Use the right detergent for the type and colour of yourfabrics:

    Strong detergent for whitesColoured detergent for colouredsGentle detergent for synthetics, viscose and microfibreWool detergent for wool, silk and outerwear.

    Use the divider for liquid detergent in the detergent dra-wer or use dosing aids such as dosing balls or bags supp-lied with the detergent.

    6

  • Under no circumstances use cleaning products containingsolvents. There is a risk that parts of the machine couldbe damaged and poisonous vapour released. There isalso a risk of fire and explosion.Fabrics which have been treated with cleaning productscontaining solvents must be rinsed well by hand in clearwater before washing.Only use water softeners, dyes and dye removers and ot-her additives which clearly state in their manufacturers'instructions that they are suitable for use in automaticwashing machines. Follow the appropriate instructionscarefully.Only add laundry starch in the final rinse (conditioner),because there is a risk of explosion at other stages of thewash.Keep laundry detergents and additives out of the reach ofchildren.Store laundry detergents, aids and other additives in adry, cool place, as clumpy detergent can lead to functio-nal problems.

    Detergent Dosing

    Only the right dose leads to good washing results. Payattention to the dosage recommendations on thedetergent pack. Ensure that the quantities stated on thepack are for full drum loads. Reduce the quantity forsmaller loads.

    The amount of detergent required depends on:the hardness of the water,

    if you don't know, ask your local authority.Use the right amount of detergent for your waterhardness.

    how dirty the laundry islight soiling;

    no noticeable marks and stains, e.g. the clothes just smellof body odour. Reduce the amount of detergent according to therecommended dose.Wash these fabrics on the Express programme.

    normal soiling;visible marks and a few light stains. Use the normal doseaccording to the recommendations. Wash these fabricson the Standard programme.

    heavy soiling;clearly noticeable marks and stains. Use a higher doseaccording to the recommendations. Stains may need tobe pre-treated or soaked, fabrics may be prewashed orwashed on the Intensive programme.

    the amount of washing,reduce the amount of detergent by a third if the drum isonly half full.

    Watch out:Too little detergent;

    usually only noticeable after several washes withinsufficient detergent,leaves the washing grey or not clean,leaves the washing hard (stiff),can leave grey-brown spotty stains (grease) on laundry,can lead to scaled heating elements.

    Too much detergent leads to;poor washing results,excessive detergent foaming and problems,high water consumption and costs,extended washing programmes,unnecessary pollution.

    Soap-based detergents

    Your washing machine has a special programme for was-hing with soap-based detergents, which you can select inthe basic programme settings (see page 19).Because soap does not contain anything to prevent lime-scale, you should only use it with soft or medium-hardwater, together with a separate water softener.Otherwise, limescale and soap residue can build up in themachine, which will be deposited on laundry in the formof grease spots or as limescale on the heating element.

    Liquid detergent and start time preselection

    (for start time preselection see page 14).When using start time preselection, use a dosing ball forliquid detergent or the additional liquid container for thedetergent drawer. If poured directly into the detergentdrawer, liquid detergent slowly runs out and thickens. Ifthis happens several times, it can lead to blockages dueto detergent deposits.Remove the dosing ball at the end of the programme!

    The additional liquid container is not suitable for particu-larly thick detergents.

    Water softeners

    Special water softening products may be used for waterin the hardness range 2 - 4 (13-37° fH). Follow theinstructions on the packet!In these cases, use the amount of detergent specified forhardness level 1 (0-12° fH). Add the detergent and thenthe water softener in the same section of the drawer toensure that the water softener is washed in properly.

    Soaking

    Add soaking detergent to section I of the detergent dra-wer. Select a soaking programme (See page 19).

    Fabric conditioner, starch

    Add to section . Do not fill beyond the «Max» mark,because otherwise the conditioner will be rinsed in withthe detergent at the start of the programme and not du-ring the rinse cycle. Thick conditioner should be dilutedwith water and stirred until there are no lumps beforeadding to the drawer, so that it does not block the over-flow.

    Bleach, stain remover

    Powder bleach and stain removers can be added for fa-brics with bleachable stains.First add the detergent and then the bleach powder orstain remover in section II of the drawer. This ensuresthat the product is washed in better.

    7

  • Spirit vinegar

    Spirit vinegar is used to prepare laundry for impregnation.

    Impregnation products

    Clothing can be impregnated evenly and durably by usingimpregnation products in the washing machine.

    Breathable weather gear such as GoreTex or SympaTexshould only be treated with special impregnationproducts designed for them. Otherwise, there is a dan-ger that the breathable membrane will be blocked.

    Washing Advice

    Sorting your laundry

    Do not exceed the maximum load,because overfilling affects the washing result and can leadto fabric damage. Pay attention to the care symbols onyour fabrics.

    Laundry bearing the following care symbol should not bewashed in the machine:

    Do not wash

    Sort your laundry according to fabric and level of soiling.

    Sort your laundry by colour. Wash white and colouredlaundry separately, or white washing will turn grey.

    Do not wash new coloured fabrics with other laundry.There is a risk the dye could run!

    Knitwear made of or containing wool should be identi-fied with the words «no felting», «non-felting» or «ma-chine washable». Otherwise there is a risk your woolcould turn to felt in the wash!

    Tips for washing

    Remove foreign bodies, e.g. safety pins, paperclips, co-ins, etc. from your washing.

    Brush sand out of pockets and cuffs.Do up all zips, hooks and eyes and Velcro fastenings.Button up duvet covers and pillowcases and tie fabric

    belts or apron strings together.Wash particularly delicate laundry, e.g. fine stockings

    or curtains, or small items, e.g. socks or handkerchiefs, ina laundry net or pillowcase.

    Turn trousers, knitwear or knitted textiles, e.g. jerseyunderwear, t-shirts, sweatshirts, inside out.

    When washing bras, ensure that they are machinewashable.

    Wash underwired bras in a fine laundry net, as the wiresmay come loose during washing and can fall through theholes in the drum and damage the machine.

    Stain removal

    Stains should be removed or at least pre-treated immedi-ately if possible, or at least while they are still fresh. Try first with soap and water. Do not rub the fabric, justpat it.Stubborn and dried in stains can sometimes only be re-moved after washing several times or soaking.

    Start-up

    Install the machine according to the installationinstructions.

    First wash cycle (without laundry)

    Run the first wash cycle without laundry, to remove anywater remaining from testing during the manufacturingprocess.

    1. Check that the transport packaging on the rear of themachine has been removed (see installation instructions).

    2. Turn on the water supply.

    3. Pull out the detergent drawer until it reaches its stop.

    4. Add half a scoop of all purpose detergent to section II(on the left).Do not use gentle or wool detergent, because it will pro-duce too much foam.

    5. Select the «Coloureds 60°» button.

    6. Press the start button. The programme should start.

    7. After the end of the programme, the machine is readyfor use.

    Special programmes

    Hand wash 20°C

    Fabrics made of hand washable wool or wool mixtures.

    Silk 30° C

    Hand-washable fabrics which do not contain wool.

    Fine stockings and bras should be washed in a laundry bag.

    Outerwear 30° C

    This programme can be used to wash particularlydelicate washable clothing, e.g. woollen trousers, gabar-dine, skirts, blouses, jackets. The creasing and wrinklingis reduced by a special mechanism. The addition of a sui-table finishing product, e.g. ironing aid during the condi-tioning phase, makes further processing of the clothingmuch easier.

    Clothing with inserts, stuffing or padding should not bewashed - there is a risk of shrinkage.

    Pre-treatment: heavy stains e.g. fat, sun cream, lipstick orcosmetics, require suitable pre-treatment. The use of astain proofing spray bearing the wool mark is recommen-ded for outerwear.

    Mesh items must be washed on the wool programme.

    Add wool detergent to the wash in the additionalliquid container in section II of the detergent drawer or ina dosing ball.

    Sportswear 30° C

    This programme is also suitable for weather gear, sportsand leisure jackets as well as modern clothing made ofmicrofibre or with a high microfibre content, e.g. GoreTexor SympaTex.

    Pre-treatment: heavy stains e.g. fat, sun cream, lipstick orcosmetics, require suitable pre-treatment.

    For greasy stains, rub liquid gentle detergent directly intothe stain with your fingers.Do not scrub - you could damage the fabric!

    Leave to work for around 5 minutes and then wash theitems in the washing machine.

    Only use a gentle detergent for GoreTex and SympaTex.

    When using a gentle detergent, place the additionalliquid container in section II of the detergent drawer oruse a dosing ball with the laundry.

    Do not use fabric softener.This can block the breathable membranes and prevent suc-cessful subsequent impregnation.

    12

  • Impregnation 30° C

    This programme is suitable for the simple and efficientimpregnation of sports and leisure clothing, e.g. tracksu-its, down jackets and winter clothing.

    The special process ensures even and lastingimpregnation.

    Microfibre fabrics, GoreTex and SympaTex should only be treated with special impregnationproducts designed for them. If ordinary impregnationproducts are used, there is a risk that the breathablemembranes will be blocked.

    Pre-treatment: the clothing to be impregnated must bewashed thoroughly first.

    Pull out the detergent drawer until it reaches the stop.Place the additional liquid containers in sections I and IIof the detergent drawer.

    Add liquid detergent to section I with 160 ml spirit vi-negar - the vinegar is used to prepare the laundry for im-pregnation.

    Fill the liquid container in section II of the drawer with320 ml of the impregnation product, or according to theproduct manufacturer's instructions.

    Close the detergent drawer carefully. If the drawer isclosed too quickly it is possible that the impregnationproduct and the spirit vinegar will enter the washingmachine together. In this case, impregnation will beimpossible..

    Curtains 40° C

    Mixed fibre fabricsWash programme with high water level for wash andrinse and low speed spin.

    When washing curtains, place metal rings or plastichooks in a laundry net or bag (cushion cover).

    Older curtains are often very bleached by the sun and nolonger very resistant. Machine washing can thereforecause slight damage.To prevent creasing at the end of the programme, it isadvisable to use the rinse stop function (see page 14).

    Nappies 95° C

    White and colourfast cotton.

    This programme starts with a cold rinse, followed by aprewash at 60° C. The main wash temperature is 95° C.

    Spinning

    For spinning fabrics (without rinsing).

    The spin speed settings can be altered using the «spinspeed / rinse stop»button. (See page 14).

    Please note the spin speed!

    Additional programmes

    See page 10 for selecting additional programmes.

    Alongside the various standard wash programmes, yourmachine offers you the opportunity to design your ownprogrammes.By selecting one or more additional functions, you cantailor your wash programme to the specifics of yourlaundry.

    You also have the opportunity to tailor your machine toyour needs by changing the basic settings (see page 17).

    Express programme

    Express programme for lightly soiled fabrics. Reduces thewashing time.

    For small loads of washing or light soiling, reduce theamount of detergent used according to the recommendeddosage.

    Gentle programme

    For easy care and particularly sensitive fabrics made ofcotton, mixed fibres, synthetics.

    Prewash

    For particularly heavily soiled laundry, bad stains or occu-pational laundry (e.g. blood or oil stains, nappies).The wash temperature is 30°C.Add ¼ of the detergent to section I.Caution: There is no prewash on wool programmes toprotect the fibres.

    Intensive

    This programme is for heavily soiled fabrics, especiallythose with bleachable stains (e.g. fruit, coffee, tea, redwine).The intensive programme can be used for boil or colou-red washes as well as for easy care fabrics. The washtime will be extended.

    Note

    The intensive, express and prewash programmes aremutually exclusive, which is why only one of these addi-tional programmes can be selected.

    Easy Care

    This programme reduces the formation of creases andwrinkles by using a higher water level, slow cooling ofthe detergent solution and gentle spinning. It can beused with boil, coloured and fine washes, as well as withprogrammes for easy care laundry.

  • Additional functions

    See page 10 for selecting additional functions

    Start time preselect

    By pressing the «Start time preselect» button one ormore times, the programme start time can be delayed byup to 23,5 hours.This makes it possible to take advantage of cheapernight-time electricity, for example. The start time andconsequently also the end time of a programme can betailored to your individual lifestyle.The start time and the anticipated programme end timeare shown on the display.The preselected time starts when the start button ispressed.When the start time is reached, the selected programmestarts automatically. The current programme duration willbe displayed.

    Note

    The start time preselect only works if no soaking pro-gramme has been selected (see also page 17).

    In the event of a power cut, the current time is saved.The duration of the power cut is not taken into account.

    When using start time preselection, use a dosing ballfor liquid detergent. If poured directly into the detergentdrawer, liquid detergent slowly runs out and thickens. Ifthis happens several times, it can lead to blockages dueto detergent deposits.

    Reducing the temperature

    Pressing the «Wash Temperature» button severaltimes reduces the wash temperature in 10°C stages (15°C stages above 80°C). The new temperature will be displayed. It can also bechanged during the first two minutes of the programme.The lower temperature is compensated by an extensionof the post-wash time, which achieves the same result forless energy.

    Spin speed

    This function is used to select a lower spin speed or rinsestop (see below) to be gentle to the laundry, e.g. for sen-sitive fabrics. The normal spin speed will be used withoutany spin speed reduction. See «Spin speed reduction» onpage 18. This depends on the programme chosen.Pressing this button once shows the pre-programmedspin speed on the digital display.This can be reduced in 200 or 100 rpm increments bypressing the button several times. The lowest possiblespin speed is 400 rpm. The spin speed can also be chan-ged during a programme, although not during the spinphase.

    Increased spin speedIf the spin speed button is pressed again after «Rinsestop», a higher spin speed (1800 rpm) can be chosen.The washing will be spun harder.

    Economy advice

    If the washing is to be dried in a tumble drier, select ahigh spin speed, as well spun washing takes significantlyless energy and time to dry in a tumble dryer.

    Rinse stop

    The «Rinse stop» function is used to avoid creasing ofsensitive fabrics. The laundry is held in the last rinse wa-ter. Select rinse stop by reducing the spin speed until yousee «rinse stop» on the display.You can end the programme by draining the laundrywithout spinning or by spinning (see page 11).

    Fast forward

    The programme can be shortened or interrupted bypressing the fast forward button.

    (See interrupting the programme on page 11).This button can also be used to select specialprogrammes.

    Advice for testing bodies and users

    In the goods declaration, this washing extractor wasawarded the top grade A in the washing effectivenesscategory according to the Energy Label classification un-der the EN 60456 standards programme. However, fromthe factory, it is set up with standard wash programmesdeveloped especially to meet Swiss consumer needs,although modern fabrics can be washed on shorter pro-grammes thanks to today’s wearing and washing charac-teristics. However, the standard programme times accor-ding to the Energy Label can be set using the extendedbasic settings by setting the wash time reductionparameter to Off.

    The machine is now basically set to the longer washtimes according to the Energy Label.

    Problems

    Repairs, alterations or intervention on electronicequipment should only be carried out by qualified specia-lists. Inexpert repairs can cause considerable damage andrisk to the user.

    Only original spare parts should be used for repairs.

    Rectifying minor faults yourself

    The machine does not start after pressing aprogramme button:

    Check whether the mains power is switched on at thewall and the plug is in.

    Check whether all the fuses are intact or the safetyswitch has tripped.

    The machine does not start:The start button has not been pressed.Start time preselect has been set. Only starts at the

    preselected start time.

    Detergent residue in the detergent drawer:Damp or clumpy detergent.

    Dry the detergent drawer before adding detergent (forcleaning, see page 15). Use dosing aids for compact orliquid detergents. Add the detergent to the dosing aidand put it in the drum with the laundry.

    The divider for liquid detergent has been presseddown. Move the divider to the position for powder de-tergent (see page 6).

    Water not visible during wash:Not a fault! The water is below the visible level in the

    machine.

    Poor wash result:Level of soiling was higher than usual.Change type and amount of detergent.Select the maximum permitted temperature for the fabric.Select a stronger wash programme.

    Detergent residue on the washing:This is not due to poor rinse performance of your was-

    hing machine, but insoluble residues found in a fewphosphate-free detergents, which tend to be depositedas pale specks on laundry.

    Remedy: dry and brush off or repeat the whole rinseprocess immediately. Change detergent if necessary.

    Grey residue on the washing:The normal amount of detergent is not always

    sufficient for soiling from ointments, fats or oils, increasethe amount for the next wash. Remedy: select the maximum permitted temperature forthe fabrics.

    Grey stains on the washing:These stains may be caused by cosmetics or fabric sof-

    tener and may have appeared on the laundry outside themachine before washing. Remedy: some stains can be washed out after soaking inliquid detergent.

    Foam is visible after the last rinse:Some detergents tend to produce more foam, which

    does not affect the rinse results.

    Pump noise:Not a fault! The noises from the pump when filling

    and pumping out are normal.

    Repeated spinning:The imbalance control system detected an imbalance

    and is rectifying the imbalance by spinning repeatedly.

    19

  • Poor spin results:The imbalance control system detected an imbalance

    which could not be rectified. With small loads or criticallaundry such as bathroom textiles, the laundry is not suffi-ciently distributed. The spin speed is reduced accordingto the load and imbalance, to protect the machine fromoverloading.
