Electrical connection • Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current standard safety regulations. • Data regarding voltage, power consumption and protection requirements is given on the inside of the door. • The appliance must be connected to the mains by means of a socket with an earth connection in accordance with current regulations. [. . . ] Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool • colour • the wash temperature • degree and type of soiling Remarks: 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. 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. Descalers could contain products which could damage your washing machine. Do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids. Dosage Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on: • degree and type of soiling • size of wash follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for a full load; 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 • water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water (refer to the water hardness table in the operating instructions). Notes: 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.

This enables faults to be detected in good time and the safety system can react appropriately. These faults are frequently so minor that they can be removed within a few minutes. Check whether: • the mains plug is inserted into the socket; • the wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar appliance to test it). Check whether: • the door is properly closed (child safety); • the “Start/Pause” button has been pressed; • the “Water tap closed” indication lights up. The appliance stops during the programme (varies depending on model) Check whether: • the “Rinse Hold” indicator lamp lights up; terminate this option by pressing the “Start/Pause” button or by choosing and starting the “Drain” programme; • another programme has been selected and the “Start/Pause” indicator lamp is flashing. [. . . ] “Service” indication lights up The appliance stops during the programme. For models with a remaining time display, a failure code between “F02” and “F35”, “FA” or “Fod” appears on that display. If a failure code between “F02” and “F35” appears on the display: Select and start the “Drain” programme or push the “Reset” button for at least 3 seconds. If the fault persists, unplug the appliance and contact After-Sales Service (see “After-Sales Service”). [. . . ]
