Capacity
Do not overload the appliance otherwise the laundry
is not getting clean. Refer to the information in the
"Program table".
Starting the program
• Connect the appliance to the power supply and
switch it on.
• The water supply must be opened to the maxi-
mum pressure.
• Load your laundry and fill in the detergent, if nec-
essary.
• Close the drum hatches and the unit lid properly.
• Set the required washing conditions.
• Start the operation.
Appliance lid lock
WARNING:
Never attempt to force open the appliance lid during
operation.
Once a wash program has been started, the appli-
ance lid cannot be opened.
When the wash cycle is finished, the lid lock will au-
tomatically be unlocked.
Changing the program
• To change the program, first interrupt the washing
process.
• Switch the device briefly off and then on again.
• Select the desired program and start the new
operation.
End of program
At the end of the wash cycle several beeps sound; a
few minutes later, the lid lock is released and the
appliance enters off- mode automatically.
Switching off
• Close the water supply!
• Leave the appliance lid slightly open until the next
wash cycle to avoid odors.
• If the appliance is not in use for an extended peri-
od, disconnect the mains plug or switch off or turn
out the fuse.
Energy saving tips
• If possible, avoid the selection of high wash tem-
peratures. Modern detergents achieve good
washing results even at low temperatures.
• Select the wash program depending on the type
of laundry and the required degree of washing.
• Take advantage of the maximum capacity of each
wash program.
• Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive wash-
ing and high energy consumption.
• Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not rise above +35°C.
Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING:
• Always switch off the appliance and disconnect it
from the power supply before cleaning and user
maintenance.
• Allow the appliance to cool down enough before
cleaning. Scalding!
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-
ance; moisture could enter electrical components.
Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage
the plastic parts. The appliance must be dry be-
fore restarting operation.
CAUTION:
• Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive
items.
