Before the first wash
Setting the time
So that the current time and the end of the programme are correctly
displayed, please check the display and set the current time, if neces-
sary. (See “Setting extra options: Timer”.)
Carrying out a wash programme prior to first use
Before doing your first wash, run a washing cycle without any washing
in the machine (programme LINEN/EASY-C. 60°, option TIME SAVING/
VERY QUICK, use approx. 1/4 measuring cup of washing powder).
This will remove any residues from the drum and water container which
have been left as a result of the production process.
Preparing and sorting washing
Preparing washing
• Empty the pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e.g. coins, paper clips,
nails, etc.).
• Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing.
• Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a
bag.
• Wash delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains,
tights, small socks, handkerchiefs, bras.
Important: Bras and other items containing wires should only be
washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appli-
ance.
Sorting washing
• By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can
run.
• By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.
Important: Do not wash fabrics with the
G care symbol (= do not
wash!) in the washing machine.
