Important information
Before washing for the first time
Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the tap on. Pour into compartment II:

– Fasten zips, do up any buttons.
– Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
– Remove curtain fittings or place in the laundry bag.
Load laundry
– For optimum spin behaviour, load large and small items of laundry together.

compartment in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (rinse first if necessary).
Dyeing/bleaching
Dye should only be used in normal household quantities. Salt may damage stainless steel. Always follow the dye
manufacturer's instructions. Do not use the washing machine for bleaching clothes.
Load display
The load sensor detects how heavily the washing machine is loaded. The laundry is not weighed.
Recommended dosage
Based on the selected programme and the detected load, the recommended dosage function provides a
recommendation for the detergent dosage in %. The % figure refers to the recommendation of the detergent
manufacturer.
Load adjust
Independently of the load display, the automatic load sensing function uses additional sensors to adapt the water and
power consumption ideally to each programme, depending on the type of fabric and the load.
