Not all soil levels are selectable for each programme.
“Spin” button(incl. “Rinse Hold”)
•Every programme has a predefined spin speed.
•Press the button to set another spin speed.
•If you select spin speed “0”, the final spinning is cancelled
and the water is drained out only. However, intermediate
spin phases remain during the rinse.
•If you select “Rinse hold” , the laundry remains in the last
rinse water without progressing to the final spin cycle, to avoid
creasing and prevent colours from changing. To activate the
“Rinse hold”, press the “Spin” button repeatedly until the “Rinse
hold” symbol on the display lights up.
-The wash programme stops to “Rinse hold” when the “Rinse
hold” symbol on the display blinks; the “Start/Pause”
indicator also blinks.
-To terminate the “Rinse hold” by spinning the laundry,
press “Start/Pause” - the laundry will be spun with the
default spin speed. You can also select another spin speed
with the “Spin” button before you start the spin cycle with
“Start/Pause”.
-To terminate the “Rinse hold” by draining the water
without spinning, press the “Spin” button until spin speed
“0” appears on the display; then press “Start/Pause” to
start the draining.
-Do not leave the laundry to soak for too long in the “Rinse
hold” (especially silk!).

Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions, in compliance with IEC/EN 60456. In the home, they may vary depending on the individual
water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash. The consumption data indicated are based on an inlet water temperature of approx.
15°C through the cold fill valve as well as the hot fill valve (if available). If your washing machine has a hot fill valve, connection of this valve to hot water
supply will lower the energy consumption by reduced heating times, depending on the individual hot fill inlet water temperature.
Water and energy consumptions refer to the default setting of the programmes, with temperature and load as indicated in the table; selecting any options
or changing the spin speed will also change the consumption data.
The programme duration may differ from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that time (see also
“Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).
**To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle before the water is drained.
***Automatic adaptation of programme duration after detection of wash load.
*Reference programmes for Energy Label.
LOAD LAUNDRY, CLOSE DOOR AND SELECT
PROGRAMME
SELECT ANY DESIRED OPTION
With this function you can postpone your programme to
complete at a later time: press the button to select in how many
hours the programme shall be finished. Thus, it allows you to have
your laundry ready at a particular time and to profit from more
favourable energy rates during the night, for example.
•The time until the “Cycle end” can be selected in full hour time
segments (1 to 24 h). When you press the button, the shortest
possible time will be displayed; keep on pressing the button
to loop through all the available times. To remove it again,
keep on pressing the button until you see the value “0:00”.
•When you have selected the desired time until the “Cycle
end”, press “Start/Pause” - the countdown will begin.
•During the countdown, you can still modify the programme
setting (select or deselect options, change spin speed etc.). If
the modifications prolong the programme duration so that it
overruns the originally set time until the “Cycle end”, the
programme will start immediately.
•Sometimes the programme may finish before the selected
time until the “Cycle end” has expired (e.g. for small loads). In
this case, the washing machine will tumble the laundry
regularly to keep it fresh, until the selected “Cycle end” time
has expired. During tumbling, the display will show an
animation. The tumbling phase can be stopped at any time
either by pressing any button or by rotating the programme
selector; the animation will stop and the door will unlock in
about 1 minute as indicated on the display.
With the “Dosing Aid” button, you can make your washing machine
indicate you the recommended detergent quantity for your wash
load, depending on the soil level selected and the size of the load.
•Helps to save detergent and protect the environment and
also sensitive skin by avoiding detergent overdosing.
•Before you use this function, you must adapt the washing
machine to the dosing amounts which are recommended for
the detergents you use. Also check if your region’s water
hardness corresponds with the water hardness level “soft” of
your washing machine - if not adapt it.
•Select programme, options and cycle end BEFORE using the
“Dosing Aid” button.
For any details, refer to the separate “Dosing Aid” Instructions for Use.
Before starting and after end of a programme, the lamp lights to
show that the door can be opened. As long as a wash programme is
running, the door remains locked and must on no account be forced
open. In case you have an urgent need to open it during a running
programme, refer to “Reset a running programme before the end”.
The “Eco monitor” gives you a rough feedback about the power
consumption of the programme setting you selected.
As soon as you turn the programme selector to any programme, the
“Eco monitor” is on.
The indicator on the left is to show that the “Eco monitor” is active.
The four indicators next to it show the degree of consumption: the
less power your programme setting is forecasted to consume, the
less indicators will light up. This depends on the programme,
temperature and options selected, and also on the size of the wash
load. For that reason, the forecasted degree of power consumption
may adapt when the washing machine detects the wash load.
Open the tap and press the “Start/Pause” button . The
indicator next to the “Start/Pause” button lights up.
Activating the child lock prevents children from starting a wash
cycle or changing the settings of a running programme. The child
lock cannot be activated or deactivated when the programme
selector is in the “Off/O” position. To activate the child lock:
•Turn the programme selector to a programme position, or
run a programme as usual.
•Press and hold the 2 buttons marked with the key symbol
simultaneously for a few seconds. A key-like symbol will shortly
appear on the display to indicate that the child lock is active.
Any time you try to change a programme setting with active child
lock, the display will briefly show the key-like symbol. The
programme setting cannot be changed anymore. The only change
possible is to switch the washer off by turning the programme
selector to the “Off/O” position. To deactivate the child lock:
•Press and hold again the 2 buttons marked with the key
symbol simultaneously for a few seconds.
If one of the failure indicators blinks, consult the
“Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use.
“Water tap closed”: no or not sufficient inlet water.
“Service”: failure or malfunction of an electrical
component.
“Clean pump”: waste water is not pumped out.
Spin speed on display blinks: unbalance during spinning.
The “Door open” indicator lights up, and the display shows “End”.
1.Turn the programme selector to the “Off/O” position.
2.Close the water tap.
3.Open the door and unload the machine.
4.Leave the door ajar to allow the drum to dry.
The symbol will light up at the end of the programme if you used
too much detergent. Use less detergent next time. If the symbol
lights up and the display shows “Fod”, too much foam
interrupted the wash process; refer to the “Troubleshooting
Guide” in your Instructions for Use.
1.Press the “Start/Pause” button to pause the
programme. The indicator blinks.
2.Select the new programme, temperature, any options and
another spin speed if you want.
3.Press the “Start/Pause” button again. The new
programme continues at the same position where the
previous programme was interrupted. Do not add
detergent for this programme.
The “Reset/Drain” button cancels a programme before the end.
•Press and hold the “Reset/Drain” button for a few
seconds; an animation appears on the display. The water is
drained out; it may last some time until you can open the door.
