- Foam Absorption System: An automatic foam absorption system activates if excessive foaming occurs, helping to maintain optimal washing conditions.
Usage Features
The washing machine is designed for intuitive and efficient use:
- Laundry Preparation: Before washing, laundry should be sorted by fabric type, color, soil level, and water temperature. Metal parts should be removed or protected, pockets emptied, and small items placed in laundry bags. Zippers should be closed, and tears mended.
- Detergent and Softener Use: The detergent drawer has compartments for prewash, main wash, and fabric softener. Users should follow detergent packaging instructions for dosage, considering water hardness and laundry amount. Liquid detergents, gel detergents, and detergent tablets can be used, with specific instructions for placement depending on the product's features.
- Loading the Machine: Laundry should be placed loosely in the drum, and the loading door closed securely. The machine automatically adjusts water amount based on laundry weight.
- Starting and Canceling Programs: Programs are started by pressing the start/pause button after selection. Programs can be canceled by turning the program selector knob to another program.
- Adding/Removing Laundry: Laundry can be added or removed during a paused program, provided the loading door can be opened (i.e., water level is suitable).
- Energy and Water Saving Tips: To optimize energy and water consumption, users are advised to operate the product at the highest allowed power without overloading, use less detergent for small or lightly soiled loads, wash at low temperatures, and use faster programs when appropriate. Prewash and high temperatures should be avoided for lightly soiled laundry.
- Special Programs:
- Hygiene+: This program incorporates a steam step for anti-allergic and hygienic washing, effective against bacteria, mold, and allergens.
- StainExpert: A specialized program for removing various types of stubborn stains from durable colorfast cotton.
- Shirts: Designed to wash cotton and synthetic shirts, reducing wrinkling with a special spin function and steam application.
- Down Jacket: For washing machine-washable down coats and jackets, using special twists to ensure water reaches air holes.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the product's life and preventing problems:
- Detergent Drawer Cleaning: The detergent dispenser should be cleaned every 4-5 wash cycles to prevent detergent build-up. This involves removing the drawer and siphon and washing them with lukewarm water.
- Loading Door and Drum Cleaning: After each wash, users should check the drum for foreign matter. For products with a drum cleaning program, this should be run regularly (every 1-2 months) with a limescale remover. If the cuff holes are clogged, they can be cleaned with a toothpick.
- Cabinet and Control Panel Cleaning: The machine's cabinet and control panel should be wiped with soap and water or a mild cleaning gel, then dried with a soft cloth. A soft, damp cloth is recommended for the control panel.
- Water Supply Filter Cleaning: Filters located at the end of the water supply valves and hoses prevent foreign substances from entering the machine. These filters should be cleaned when dirty by closing the taps, removing the hoses, and brushing the filters.
- Drain Hose and Pump Filter Cleaning: In case of drainage issues, the drain hose and pump filter should be checked and cleaned. The pump filter cover can be opened to access the filter and remove any debris.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting section to address common issues such as programs not starting, water not draining or filling, vibrations, noise, and poor washing results. It offers solutions for problems related to detergent use, load imbalance, water pressure, and temperature.
- Self-Repair Information: The manual outlines specific spare parts (door, hinges, seals, door lock assembly, plastic peripherals) that can be self-repaired by the end-user, with instructions available on the manufacturer's support website. For other repairs, authorized service technicians are required.
