CHILD SAFETY (IF AVAILABLE)

BEFORE THE FIRST WASH CYCLE

PREPARING THE WASH

1.Sort the laundry according to...

• Type of fabric / care label symbol

Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics,

wool, handwashed items

• Colour

Separate coloured and white items. Wash new

coloured articles separately

•Size

Laundry items of different sizes distribute

themselves better in the drum and optimise the

washing and spinning action

• Delicates

Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts

etc.) and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a

washbag or pillow case with a zip fastener.

Always remove curtain glides or wash curtains

with the glides inside a cotton bag

2.Empty all pockets

Coins, safety pins etc. can damage the laundry,

drum and tub

3.Closures

Close zips and hooks and eyes; Tie loose belts or

straps together

Stain removal

•Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by

the automatic enzyme phase of the programme

•To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit

stains etc. add a stain remover to the detergent

dispenser chamber

•Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover

if necessary

Dyeing

•Only use dyes that are suitable for washing machines

•Follow the manufacturer’s instructions

•Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine

can be stained by dyes

Loading the laundry

1.Open the door.

2.Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in the

drum. Observe the load sizes given in the Quick

Reference Guide.

Note: overloading the machine will result in

unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.

3.Close the door.

To secure the appliance against improper use turn the

plastic screw on the interior of the door. To do this, use

the thick rounded corner of the coloured insert from the

detergent dispenser or a coin:

•Slot vertical: the door will not lock

•Slot horizontal: the door can be locked again

To remove any residual water used in testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that you carry out a

short wash cycle without laundry.

1. Turn on the tap.

2. Close the door.

3. Pour a little detergent (about 30 ml) into the detergent compartment .

4. Select and start a short programme (see quick reference guide).

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

The choice of detergent depends on:

•type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,

delicate items, wool).

Note: Use only specific detergents for washing

wool

•colour

•the wash temperature

•degree and type of soiling

Remarks:

Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by

insoluble compounds used in modern phosphate-

free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or

brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents.

Use only detergents and additives specifically

produced for domestic washing machines.

When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for

the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for

use in domestic washing machines. Descaler could

contain components which can attack parts of your

washing machine.

Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine).

Do not wash fabrics in the machine which have

been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Dosage

Follow the dosage recommendations on the

detergent pack. They depend on:

•degree and type of soiling

•size of wash

full load follow the detergent manufacturer’s

instructions;

half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;

Minimum load (about 1 kg):

1/2 the amount used for a full load

•waterhardnessin your area (requestinformation

from the water company). Soft water requires

less detergent than hard water (refer to water

hardness table)

Notes:

Too much detergent can result in excess foam

formation.

The cleaning effect deteriorates.

If the washing machine detects too much foam, it

may prevent spinning.

Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in

timeand alsocalcifiestheheatingsystem,drumand

hoses.

If the machine has a three chamber detergent dispenser, you can set the water hardness level of your

household supply (1 to 4) by means of the coloured “pointer” (A). To do this, move the slider on the

bottom of the dispenser to the desired position.

Pouring in the detergents and additives

The dispenser will have three (models “B1” or “B2”) or four (model

“A”) chambers depending on model.

Chamber

•Detergent for the prewash

Chamber

•Detergent for the main wash

•Stain remover

•Water softener (water hardness 4)

When using liquid detergent, remove the coloured insert from the

detergent container and insert it in the first gap in

chamber . The scale on the insert makes dosing easier.

Chamber

•Fabric Softener

•Liquid starch

Only pour additives in up to the “Max” mark.

Chamber

•Chlorine bleach

No more than to the “Max” mark (four chambers model “A”)

Notes:

•Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

•Liquid detergents can be used for programmes with prewash. In this case only measure in a powder

detergent for the main wash.

•To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use

the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the detergent and place it directly inside the drum.

•When using descaling agents, bleaches or dyes, make sure that they are suitable for washing

machines. Descalers could contain components that can attack parts of your washing machine.

•Do not use any solvents in the washing machine (e. g. turpentine, benzine).

•If you use starch powder, proceed as follows:

1. Wash your laundry using the desired wash programme.

2. Then stir the starch in with water in a beaker.

3. Select the “Rinse and Spin” programme, reduce the speed to ca. 800 rpm and start the programme.

4. Pull out the detergent drawer until you can see about 3 cm of chamber .

5. Pour the starch solution into chamber while the water is running into the detergent drawer.

6. If there are starch residues in the detergent drawer when the programme has finished, clean it if

necessary (see “Cleaning and Maintenance”).

Take note also of the starch manufacturer's information.
