Notes:
• Keep detergents and additives in a dry place and out of reach of children. • If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use. Descaler could contain components that can damage parts of your washing machine. • Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc. ) Do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids. • You can use liquid detergent in the “Prewash” phase for programmes with this option. In this case put only powder detergents in the compartment for the main wash . • When using concentrated fabric softeners, dilute with water in the detergent dispenser up to “MAX” level mark. • To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the detergent and place it directly inside the drum. If you use gel-type detergent, please use the powder detergent insert setting. Powder detergent remains in the detergent dispenser until the programme starts, but liquid detergents can run out of the detergent dispenser. • If you use powder starch, observe the starch manufacturer’s information and proceed as follows: 1. Next mix the starch according to the starch manufacturer’s instructions. Set the “Rinse and Spin” programme, reduce the speed to ca.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
This washing machine is equipped with automatic safety functions which detect and diagnose faults at an early stage and react appropriately. Often, however, the faults detected are small enough to be solved in a matter of minutes. [. . . ] 3.
