Running a washing cycle

Opening the door/Loading the washing

1. To open the door: gently pull the handle on the door.

lit green

or is off
2. Unfold washing and load it loosely
into the machine. Mix large and
small items.
Important: Do not get any washing
caught between the door and the
rubber seal.
3. Press the door firmly shut. Door
catch must audibly latch.

Adding detergent/additives

Important: Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use
in domestic washing machines.
Dose detergent and additives according to the instructions of the de-
tergent and additive manufacturers. Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
Dosing depends upon:
– the washing's degree of soiling,
– the size of the load
– the degree of hardness of the water supply.
• If the manufacturer does not give instructions for small loads: for a
half load, use a third less, for a very small load, use only half of the
detergent that is recommended for a full load.
• From water hardness 2 (= medium) upwards, water softener should
be used. Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness 1
(= soft). Your local water company will be able to give you informa-
tion about the water hardness in your area.
