Description of the washing machine

Here are some tips that may help you before

washing.

Sorting your laundry

Sort items according to:

•how soiled they are

•colour

•material

Clothing

1. Do up zips and close Velcro straps so that they

don’t harm fabrics.

2. New coloured items may contain excess dye

and should therefore be washed separately

the first few times.

3. Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces

the risk of burling and fading.

4. Empty pockets and wash them inside out if

possible.

Laundry labels

Look at the item's laundry label. The table below

shows suitable wash programs for different

materials and wash loads. Using modern washing

machines and detergents, for example compact

detergents, you can usually wash at lower

temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and

error to find out what produces the best results.

Coloured cotton

Coloured cotton items with the washing instruction

60 °C should be washed at 60 °C for the first time

in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not

do so, there is a risk that the colour will run. Use

detergent without bleach in order to preserve the

colour of the fabric.

Unbleached linen

Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 60

°C, using detergent containing no bleach or optical

whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen can occasionally

be washed at higher temperatures, but not too

often because the heat can destroy the linen’s

shine and strength.

Wool

These fabrics are labelled either machine wash

or hand wash. The Wool/hand wash, 30 °C

program is at least as gentle as washing by hand.

Rayon fibres and synthetic fibres

Materials made of rayon fibres, such as viscose,

and some synthetic fibres are very delicate and

require much space so as not to crease. Only half

fill the drum when washing and choose a spin

speed of 800 rpm or lower.

NOTE!

Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.

Detergents

Eco-labelled detergents are less harmful to the

environment.

Detergent overdosing does not give better

washing results; it merely causes a greater impact

on the environment; can also hinder the wash

performance.

Try to use less detergent, and increase only if you

are not satisfied with the results.

Advice and tips before washing

NOTE!

Due to environmental concerns, we discourage

the use of strong chemicals.

When using agents for bleaching or stain

removal, there is a risk of rust (corrosion) and

discolouration of the machine.

Advice and tips before washing

1Sort your laundry.

See the "Advice and Tips before washing"

section.

Place underwired bras in a laundry net.

Empty pockets. Coins, nails and the like can

cause damage to the machine and fabrics. See

the "Advice and Tips" section before washing.

2Turn on the main power switch

3Open the washer door and load

the washing

If the washer door is closed, press the Door

opening button (key symbol). The door opens

once all water has drained from the machine.

Load the washing. The wash program chart shows

how much washing can be washed with each

program.

4Add detergent and fabric

softener, as required

The detergent packaging will have

recommendations for how much detergent you

should use. The machine holds 7 kg of washing.

If you only have a small amount of laundry in the

machine, you can reduce the amount of detergent

used.

Powder detergent

Pour the powder into the compartment for the

main wash, and pre-wash as well if desired.

Liquid detergent

When using liquid detergent, follow the detergent

manufacturer’s recommendations. We

recommend always using a wash ball with very

thick liquid detergent.

Wash ball or net

If you use a wash ball or net, place it directly in

the drum and select a program without pre-wash.

NOTE!

Detergent overdosing does not give better

washing results; it merely causes a greater

impact on the environment; can also hinder the

wash performance.

Try using less detergent, and increase only if

you are not satisfied with the results.

Fabric softener

Pour the fabric softener into the compartment with

the symbol. Follow the recommendations on

the fabric softener packaging.

NOTE!

Do not fill above the compartment’s maximum

fill level. Otherwise fabric softener will run in too

early, and will impair washing results.
