1 BEFORE WASHING THE FIRST TIME CAUTION WITH CERTAIN MATERIALS CHECK HARDNESS OF THE WATER Always check and adhere to recommended washing marking on the items concerned. If no recommendations are given, refer to those in chapter 8, Before washing. Call your local water company to find out what degree of water hardness applies. This has significance in relation to the amount of detergent that should be dispensed.
2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL OVERFILL PROTECTION • Study and save this Use and Care Guide for future reference. • Electrical and water installation, if required, must be carried out by authorized persons. • The machine may only be used for washing in accordance with these operating instructions not for dry cleaning. • Use only detergents intended for machine washing. • Remove the transport supports before using the machine, see installation instructions.
TRANSPORT/ WINTER STORAGE If the machine is to be transported, or stored in unheated premises where the temperature can fall below freezing point, you should proceed as follows: • Empty the coin trap and the drain pump; see Chapter 12, Care - Cleaning. • Turn off the water supply to the washing machine, disconnect the supply hose to the inlet valve, and let the water drain from the valve and the hose. DISPOSAL When the machine is no longer useful and is to be scrapped it should be made unusable.
3 CHILDREN'S SAFETY CHILD-SAFE WASHING Always close the washer door and start the programme immediately after filling the detergent. Do not allow children to play with the washing machine. PROTECT CHILDREN Keep detergents and conditioner out of the reach of children. CHILD LOCK ON AND By locking the and Menu Menu BUTTONS buttons, you can prevent that for example a child starts the machine or changes the settings by mistake. Child lock On/Off Turn the main power switch, turn it on again.

8 BEFORE WASHING Before you start washing, here is some advice that can be useful. SORTING THE WASHING Sort garments in relation to: • How soiled they are • Colour • Material GARMENTS • Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe against other items. • New coloured garments can have surplus dye and should therefore be washed separately the first time. • Turn garments inside out. This reduces the risk of burling, dye creases, etc. • Empty pockets and suitably let them wash turned inside out.
Wool and silk Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and Hand programmes of the machine are at least as gentle as washing by hand. Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying, you can press out the water instead using terry towelling. In this case, you should select No Spin. See Chapter 9, Washing, for details of how to select this setting. Most garments will tolerate a short spin, however.
DETERGENTS WASHING TIME Overdosing detergent will not give better results, it only increases the burden on the environment. Try using less detergent, and increase the dose only if you are displeased with the washing results. The -symbol indicates that the remaining washing time is shown at the bottom right in the display within ten minutes after the washing programme starts. When a programme is choosen the washing time is calculated.
9 WASHING WASHING WITH EASY CONTROL Easy washing by pushing a few buttons Your washing machine works like a radio with pre-set tuning. Instead of radio stations, however, you select your preferred washing programme in this case. We have preset the P1 - P4 buttons with four common programmes. Switch on the machine and press the button for your preferred programme. You can change the temperature and the spin speed by pressing one or more extra buttons. You then simply press the Start button.
The following step-by-step instructions are provided to help you to achieve the best possible washing result. Powder detergent Pour in the powder for main wash ( pre-wash ( ), see figure. ) and any Pre-wash 1 SORT THE WASHING Main wash Conditioner For tips and advice, see Chapter 8 – Before washing. NOTE Empty the pockets. Coins, nails and similar items can cause damage to the machine.
The machine has four pre-set programmes. Press the button for the desired programme. The programmes are shown in the table below. You can then easily adjust the Temperature and the Spin speed; see the next step. You can also make permanent alterations (to programmes, settings and options, etc.) in the pre-set programmes so that they meet your particular needs; see Chapter 11, Making your own washing programmes.
If you wish to save the change permanently, you can press the Enter button after making the change. Spinning at 400-800 revolutions/minute always means a short spin. It is not possible to select a spin speed higher than 800 revolutions/minute for the Hand programme. No Spin means that the programme will be executed without spinning and will end with draining. No Drain means that the programme will be executed without spinning and will end with the final rinsing water remaining in the machine.
Hold down the Menu button for three seconds. Within 15 seconds of releasing the button, you must index forward with the Menu button to the new desired setting.

DELAYED START (1-24 HOURS) TEMPORARY SPINNING OR RINSING If Delayed start is set to 5 hours, for example, this means that the machine will start the programme 5 hours after you press the button.
