Running a washing cycle
Opening the door/loading washing
1. To open the door: pull the door by the handle.
When the machine is switched on, the DOOR light and the START/
PAUSE light indicate whether the door can be opened:
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. Push the door shut firmly. Door
catch must audibly click shut.
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.
