Before using for the first time
Before using the machine for the
first time, ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection". Also
check that the filters are securely
tightened to prevent the risk of water
leaks during use.
Removing the protective foil
and stickers
Please remove
– the protective foil from the door.
– any stickers from the front and the lid
(Exception: warning labels must not
be removed).
Please do not remove any labels
(e.g. the data plate) which are visible
when you open the door.
This washing machine has undergone
a complete functional test at the
factory and there will be some residual
water in the drum from this process.

For safety reasons, spinning is not
possible until the machine has been
prepared for using for the first time. To
activate the spinning function, you must
run a wash programme without laundry
and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an
excessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a wash programme, thus making
maximum use of the detergent.
