Please note: 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, or prolong the programme duration and increase the water consumption (see also remarks on foam formation in the “Troubleshooting Guide”). Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses. Where to put detergent and additives The detergent drawer has three chambers (picture “A”).

Page 7: Draining Residual Water/Cleaning Filter
DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER/ CLEANING THE FILTER We recommend that you check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year, especially: • If the “Clean pump” indication lights up: • If the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to perform spin cycles. If the washing machine stands in a room prone to frost, you have to drain residual water after each wash to avoid damages. IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled before draining the appliance. 1. Stop the appliance and unplug it. 2. To open the plinth (depending on the model): - Push down the tabs right and left (if available) to release the plinth and remove it (picture “A”). - Remove the plinth by using the siphon inset of the detergent dispenser: push downwards one side of the plinth with your hand, then push the siphon inset into the gap between plinth and front panel and pry open the plinth (picture “B”). - For built-in models: unclip the kitchen plinth and remove it. 3. Place a container near the washing machine. -

Page 12: The Environment
REMAINING MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE LAUNDRY AFTER SPINNING The degree of moisture remaining in the laundry after spinning mainly depends on the fabric type, the selected programme and spin speed. The lowest remaining moisture content can be achieved using the wash programme referred to by the Energy Label, with maximum spin speed. This programme is marked in the separate programme chart as “Reference programme for the Energy Label”. Below a survey of the remaining moisture content (in %) related to the various spin-drying efficiency classes: Spin-drying efficiency class Remaining moisture content in % A (= most efficient) less than 45 45 or more, but less than 54 54 or more, but less than 63 63 or more, but less than 72 72 or more, but less than 81 SAVE ENERGY AND HELP PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT • You reach the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by running the programmes with the maximum load size. • Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 95°C wash programme, or by using a 40°C instead of a 60°C wash programme. -
