Before using your machine for the first time
Transport protection
Has the transport protection been re-
moved? If not, see the “Transport protec-
tion” chapter.
Packing material
Sort waste in accordance with local guide-
lines.
Washer door
The washer door cannot be opened until
the machine is connected to the electricity
supply.
To open the door manually, see the sec-
tion entitled “The door will not open” in the
“Troubleshooting” chapter.
It is not possible to start the machine with
the door open.
To open the door during an ongoing pro-
gramme, see the section entitled “Close the
door and press Start”.
Checking water hardness
The quantity of detergent required depends
on water hardness, among other things.
Phone your local Water Board to check the
water hardness in your area.
4
Transport/ Winter storage
If the machine is to be transported or stored
in unheated premises where the tempera-
ture can fall below freezing, do as follows:
• Empty the filter and drainage pump (see
the “Care and cleaning” chapter).
• Shut off the water to the washing ma-
chine, loosen the supply hose to the intake
valve and let the water run out from the
valve and hose.
Disposal
When the machine has reached the end of
its service life and is to be disposed of, it
should immediately be made unusable.
Contact your local authority for information
about where your machine should be dis-
posed of and recycled in the proper way.
The machine is manufactured and labelled
for recycling.
General
• Read and keep the operating instructions!
• Installation of water and electricity, if re-
quired, should be carried out by a qualified
professional.
• The machine should only be used for
washing items as described in these in-
structions - it is not intended for dry clean-
ing!
• Use only detergent intended for machine
washing!
• Remove any transport protection devices
before using the machine (see the “Trans-
port protection” chapter).
• Repairs and maintenance relating to
safety or performance must be carried out
by a qualified professional.
Installation
See the “Installation” chapter.
Overflow guard function
If the machine’s water level rises above
the normal level, the overflow guard func-
tion begins to pump water out and shuts off
the water intake. If the water level has not
dropped within 60 seconds, the programme
is terminated.
Safety instructions

Child safety
Keep an eye on children!
Always close the door and start the pro-
gramme immediately once you have added
detergent.
Do not allow small children to use or play
with the washing machine.
Store detergent and fabric softener out of
the reach of children!
Automatic door opening
The machine comes with an automatic door
opening function, which means that the
door opens automatically once the pro-
gramme has finished.
If you wish to prevent small children or
pets from climbing into the machine, you
can deactivate the automatic door opening
function.
1. Turn off the machine using the main
power switch.
2. Press the Door Open button while simul-
taneously pressing the main power switch.
Release the buttons.
3. Press the Key button and the red fields
go out. Automatic door opening is now
deactivated.
4. Press the Start/Stop button to store the
setting.
If you want to reactivate the function, follow
the instructions above, but when you press
the Key button (point 3) the red fields light
up. Store the setting by pressing the Start/
Stop button.

Laundry labels
Look at the item’s laundry label. The table
below indicates suitable wash programmes
for various materials and wash loads.
Coloured cotton
Coloured cotton items labelled for hot
washing (60°C) should be washed at 60ºC
the first time in order to remove any excess
dye. If you do not do so, there is a risk that
the colour will run. Use detergent without
bleach in order to preserve the colour of the
fabric.
Delicates
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed
at 60°C, using detergent containing no
bleach or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled
linen can occasionally be washed at higher
temperatures, but not too often since the
heat can destroy the linen’s shine and
strength.
Advice and tips before washing
Here are some tips that may help you be-
fore washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sort items according to:
• how soiled they are
• colour
• material
Clothing
• Do up zips so that they don’t harm fabrics.
• New coloured items may contain excess
dye and should therefore be washed sepa-
rately the first few times.
• Turn delicate items inside out. This reduc-
es the risk of burling and fading.
• Empty pockets and wash them inside out
if possible!

Wool and silk
These fabrics are sometimes labelled as
machine washable and sometimes as hand
wash. The machine’s Wool/Hand pro-
gramme is at least as gentle as washing by
hand.
Wool is especially sensitive to processes
such as washing. If you do not want to spin
it, you can squeeze out the water using
terry towels. In this case select No spin. To
find out how to select this setting, see the
“Washing” chapter. However, most items
can stand a short spin. Select short spin by
selecting spin speed 800 rpm.
Artificial fibres and synthetic
fibres
These materials require plenty of room if
they are not to become wrinkled. Only fill
the drum half way when washing artificial or
synthetic fibres. Select short spin by select-
ing a spin speed of 800 rpm.
Note!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
Economy and efficiency
You can save a lot of energy by not using
more intensive programmes than neces-
sary.
• Select Quick if you just need to freshen up
shirts or exercise clothes, for example. This
will save both water and energy.
• If you select a fast spin speed, this re-
duces energy consumption when drying in
a tumble dryer or airing cupboard.
Note!
When using agents for bleaching or stain
removal, there is a risk of rust (corrosion)
and discolouration of the machine.
Environmental concerns also lead us to
discourage the use of strong chemicals.

Washing
Sort your laundry
See the Advice and Tips section be-
fore washing.
Note!
Empty pockets. Coins, nails and the like
can cause damage to the machine and
fabrics.
Turn on the main power
switch
Open the washer door and
load the washing
If the door is closed, press the Key
button (door open). The red field
lights up and the door opens after a few
seconds. Load the laundry. The laundry
programme chart shows how much laundry
can be washed with each programme.
Add detergent and fabric
softener, as required
The detergent packaging will have
recommendations for how much de-
tergent you should use. The machine holds
6.0 kg of laundry. If you only have a small
amount of washing in the machine, you can
reduce the amount of detergent used.
Powder detergent
Pour the powder into the compartment for
the main wash, and pre-wash as well if
desired.
Liquid detergent
When using liquid detergent, follow the de-
tergent manufacturer’s recommendations.
Wash ball or net
If you use a wash ball or net, place it dir-
ectly in the drum and select a programme
without pre-wash.
Note!
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results, but merely causes a great-
er impact on the environment.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only
if you are not satisfied with the results.
Fabric softener
Pour the fabric softener into the compart-
ment with the symbol. Use the dosage
given in the recommendations on the fabric
softener package.
Note!
Do not fill above the compartment’s maxi-
mum fill level. Otherwise fabric softener will
run in too early, which impairs the washing
effect.
