Placing laundry into the drum

:

Warning

Danger of death!

Items of laundry pretreated with 

cleaning agents that contain solvents, 

e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent, may 

cause an explosion after being loaded 

into the washing machine.

Hand-rinse these items of laundry 

thoroughly beforehand.

Notes

Mix items of laundry of varying sizes. 

Laundry items of different sizes 

distribute themselves better during 

the spin cycle. Individual laundry 

items may cause an unbalanced 

load. 

Observe the maximum specified 

load. Overfilling adversely affects the 

washing result and promotes 

creasing.

1.

Unfold presorted laundry items and 

place them in the drum.

2.

Make sure that no items of laundry 

are trapped between the door and 

the rubber seal, and close the door.

The 

A

 button indicator lamp flashes 

and the programme settings appear in 

the display panel.
