What precautions should I take before using the emergency door opening?
Do not operate when the machine is working normally. Before operation, please make sure that the inner barrel has stopped turning, without high temperature, and the water level is lower than the clothing inlet. If the water level is higher than the clothing inlet, drain off water through the drain-away pipe (if available) or by slowly unscrewing the filter.
How do I use the emergency door opening?
Open the cover of drainage pump door, pull down the lock lever with the help of a tool, and then the door can be opened.
How should I sort my laundry before washing?
Sort the laundry according to type of fabric/care label symbol (cottons, mixed fibers, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwash items), color (separate colored and white items, wash new colored articles separately). Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribution in the drum. Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.) and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings or wash curtains with the rings inside a cotton bag.
What should I do with pockets before washing?
Empty all pockets. Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry as well as the appliance drum and tub.
What should I do with fasteners before washing?
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.
How should I remove stains before washing?
Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by the automatic enzyme phase of the programme. To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit stains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser. Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover if necessary.
What should I do before the first wash cycle?
To remove any residual water used during testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that you carry out a short wash cycle without laundry.
What are the steps for performing the first wash cycle?
- Open the tap. 2. Close the door. 3. Pour a little detergent (about 30 ml) into the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser. 4. Select and start a short programme.
How should I load the laundry?
Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes given in the quick reference guide. Overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry. Close the door.
What type of detergent should I use?
Always use high efficiency, low foam detergent for a front load machine.
How do I determine the right detergent?
The choice of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool). Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool. Also, consider the color, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling.
What causes whitish residues on dark fabrics?
Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents.
What type of detergent and additives should I use?
Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines. When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine). Do not wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
How should I follow detergent dosage recommendations?
Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on the degree and type of soiling, size of wash, and water hardness in your area. For a full load, follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions; half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load; minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used for a full load. Soft water requires less detergent than hard water.
What are the consequences of using too much or too little detergent?
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning. Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.
Where do I put detergent and additives?
The detergent drawer has three chambers: prewash chamber (detergent for the prewash/soak), mainwash chamber (detergent for the main wash, stain remover, water softener), and softener chamber (fabric softener).
What are some notes regarding detergents and additives?
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children. Liquid detergents can be used for programmes with prewash. However, in this case a powder detergent must be used for the main wash. Do not use liquid detergents when activating the “Start Delay” function (if available on your washing machine). To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the detergent and place it directly inside the drum. When using descaling agents, bleaches or dyes, make sure that they are suitable for washing machines. Descalers could contain compounds that can damage parts of your washing machine. Do not use any solvents in the washing machine (e.g. turpentine, benzine).
How do I remove and clean the detergent dispenser?
Press the release lever in the main wash compartment downward and remove the drawer. Remove the siphon in the softener slot. Wash all the parts under running water. Refit the siphon in the detergent drawer and fit the drawer back inside its housing.
How do I clean the filter?
- Stop the appliance and unplug it. 2. Insert a removal tool like a slotted screwdriver into the small opening of bottom baffle, press the bottom baffle downward with much strength and open it. 3. Put a flat container under the filter door and then drain with emergency drain pipe. Then, loosen the filter anticlockwise and completely unscrew and remove the filter. 4. Clean the filter and the filter chamber. Check that the pump rotor moves freely. 5. Re-insert the filter and screw it in clockwise as far as it will go. 6. Reinstall the plinth.
How often should I clean the filter?
We recommend that you check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year.
Why is it important to clean the filter?
It is important to clean the filter if the appliance is not draining properly, or if it fails to perform spin cycles, or if the pump is blocked by a foreign body (e.g. buttons, coins or safety pins).
What should I do before draining the appliance?
Ensure that the water has cooled before draining the appliance.
How do I check and clean the water supply hose?
- Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap. 2. Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap. 3. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine. 4. Pull off the mesh filter from the washing machine connection with universal pliers and clean it. 5. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again. 6. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely water-tight.
How often should I check the water supply hose?
Check the supply hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace it if necessary using a new hose of the same type (available from After-Sales Service or specialist dealer).
What should I do if the washing machine won’t start and no indicator lamps are on?
Check whether the mains plug is inserted into the socket and if the wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar appliance to test it).
What should I do if the washing machine won’t start and the “Start/Pause” indicator lamp flashes?
Check whether the door is properly closed (child safety). If the door has been opened and the “Start/Pause” indicator lamp is flashing, close the door and press the “Start/Pause” button again. Check if there is too much foam inside, machine enters kill-foam routine. The machine will run again automatically after a period. Check if the washing machine’s safety system has been activated (see “Fault description table”). Check if the “Water tap closed” indication lights up. Open the water tap and press the “Start/Pause” button.
What should I do if the appliance stops during the program?
Check whether the “Start/Pause” button has been pressed.
What should I do if residue from detergent and additives is left in the detergent drawer at the end of the wash?
Check whether the cover grid of the softener chamber and the separator of the main wash chamber are correctly installed in the detergent dispenser and all parts are clean. Check whether sufficient water is entering. The mesh filters of the water supply could be blocked. Check if the position of the separator in the main wash chamber is adapted to the use of powder or liquid detergent.
What should I check if the machine vibrates during the spin cycle?
Check whether the washing machine is level and standing firmly on all four feet, and that the transport bolts have been removed.
What should I do if the final spin results are poor?
If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the cycle, remove some articles of laundry and repeat the spin cycle. Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning. Use the correct amount of detergent. Check that the spin speed selector has not been set to “0”.
Why might the spin speed be reduced or interrupted?
The washing machine has an imbalance detection and correction system. If individual heavy items are loaded (e.g. bathrobes), this system may reduce the spin speed automatically or even interrupt the spin completely if it detects too great an imbalance even after several spin starts, in order to protect the washing machine.
Why might the program time be lengthened or shortened?
The programme time initially displayed is lengthened / shortened by a period of time due to factors that can have an effect on the wash programme time, such as excessive foam formation, load imbalance due to heavy items of laundry, or prolonged heating time due to reduced inlet water temperature. During the filling phase, the washing machine determines the load and if necessary adjusts the initial programme time displayed accordingly.
How do I connect the hot and cold water supply for models with dual inlets?
- Fix the red marked inlet hose to the hot water tap and to the inlet valve with the red filter on the rear side of the machine. 2. Fix the other inlet hose to the cold water tap and to the inlet valve with the blue filter on the rear side of the machine. Make sure the connections are tightly fixed and do not invert their position.
How do I connect only the cold fill?
- You will need a Y-piece connector. 2. Fix the Y-piece connector to the cold fill tap. 3. Connect the two inlet valves present on the rear part of the machine to the Y-piece connector using the hoses provided. Ensure that all connections are tightly fixed.
How do I connect the water supply for models with a single inlet?
Fix the inlet hose to the cold water tap and to the inlet valve on the rear side of the machine.
