Operation

Quick Start

Caution!

• Before washing, please make sure the washing machine is installed properly.
• Your appliance was thoroughly checked before it left the factory. To remove any residual water and to neutralize potential odors, it's recommended to clean your appliance before first use. For this reason, start the Hygiene 90°C program without laundry and detergent.

1. Before Washing

• Plug in (earth terminal).
• Open tap.
• Load.
• Close door.
• Add detergent.

Note! Detergent needs to be added in compartment I if the pre-wash function is selected.

2. Washing

• Select programme, select function or remain default settings.
• Press Start/Pause to start the program.

3. After Washing

Buzzer beep and "End" on display.

Before Each Washing

• The ambient temperature of the washing machine should be 5-40°C. If used under 0°C, the inlet valve and draining system may be damaged. If the machine is installed under freezing conditions, it should be transferred to normal ambient temperature to ensure the water supply hose and drain hose can unfreeze before use.
• Please check your laundry care labels and the detergent use instructions before wash. Use non-foaming or less-foaming detergent suitable for machine washing properly.

1. Check the care label.
2. Sort laundry according to color and textile type.
3. Take all items out of the pockets.
4. Tie together long textile strips and belts, close zips and buttons.
5. Put small items into a laundry bag.
6. Turn easy-pilling and long-pile fabric inside out.

Warning!

• Do not wash articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or dabbed with combustible or explosive substances like wax, oil, paint, gasoline, alcohol, kerosene, and other flammable materials.
• Washing single clothes items may easily create big eccentricity and cause alarm due to unbalance. Therefore, it is suggested to add one or two more laundry items to the wash so that spin can be done smoothly.

Detergent Dispenser

• Pre wash
• Main wash
• Softener
• Release button to pull out the dispenser.

Caution! Detergent only needs to be added in "compartment I" after selecting the pre-wash function.

Programme Selection

○ Means must

● Means optional

Detergent Recommendation

Note!

• Agglomerating or ropy detergent or additive can be diluted in some water before pouring it into the detergent dispenser to avoid its inlet getting blocked and thus causing a water overflow.
• Please choose the suitable type of detergent to get maximum washing performance and a minimum of water and energy consumption.
• To achieve the best cleaning result, proper detergent dosing is important.
• Use a reduced detergent amount if the drum is not filled completely.
• Always adjust the amount of detergent to the water hardness; if your tap water is soft, use less detergent.
• Dose according to how dirty your laundry is; less dirty clothes require less detergent.
• Highly concentrated (compact detergent) requires particularly accurate dosing.

Following symptoms are a sign of detergent overdosing:

• Heavy foam formation
• Poor washing and rinsing result

Following symptoms are a sign of detergent underdosing:

• Laundry turns grey
• Built-up of limescale deposits on the drum, the heating element, and/or the laundry

Programmes (Detailed)

Note!

• The above data is for reference only, and the data may change due to different actual use conditions.
• The values given for programmes other than the ECO 40-60 programme are indicative only.
• Concerning EN 60456:2016/prA2019 With (EU)2019/2014, (EU)2019/2023, The EU energy efficiency class is: D. Energy test program: ECO 40-60. Other as the default.
• Half load for 7.0kg machine: 3.5kg.
• Quarter load for 7.0kg machine: 2.0kg.

1) The highest temperature reached by the laundry in the wash cycle for at least 5 minutes.

2) Residual moisture after the wash cycle in water content percent and the spin speed at which this was achieved.

3) The ECO 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40°C or 60°C, together in the same cycle. This programme is used to assess the compliance with the regulation (EU) 2019/2023.

The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

Loading the household washer up to the capacity indicated for the respective programmes will contribute to energy and water savings.

Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

Caution! If there is any break in the power supply while the machine is operating, a special memory stores the selected programme. The machine will continue the programme when the power supply is re-established.
