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 Gcare symbol (= do not wash!) in the washing machine.
