Operating Instructions
Before Using for the First Time
Pull the detergent dispenser drawer a short distance out of the control

1.
panel.
Pour about 1 litre of water through the detergent dispenser drawer
2.
into the washing machine. When this has been done, done the ÖKO
lock can function correctly.
Run a washing cycle without washing (MAIN WASH 95, with half the
3.
amount of washing powder).
This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left
during manufacture.
Preparing a Wash Load
Sorting and preparing a wash load
Sort washing according to care symbol and type (see "Washing types
and care symbols").
Empty all pockets.
Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing,
close zippers, button up duvets and pillow cases, and tie up loose
straps such as from aprons.
Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks etc.).
Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and textiles with appliqués
should be turned inside out.
Place small and delicate articles (socks, tights, bras, etc.) into a
washing net or a pillow case.
Handle curtains with care. Remove metal strips or plastic hooks.
Do not wash coloured and white washing together. White washing
will otherwise turn grey.
New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these
items separately the first time.
Mix small and large articles of washing! This improves washing effi-
ciency, and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spin
cycle.
13
Operating Instructions
Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.
Do not place folded washing into the drum.
Observe tips such as "wash separately" and "wash separately several
times"!
Washing Types and Care Symbols

this care symbol need a softer washing action.
The EASY-CARES program is suitable for this type of washing.
Delicates

Operating Instructions
Which Detergent?
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is
important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only
detergents recommended for use in automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and
to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent
for different washes whether for whites, colours or delicates.
Whites
We recommend the Ariel product range
which is biological and designed to provide
excellent cleaning and stain removal even
at lower temperatures.
Non Biological
If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good
cleaning and stain removal.
Coloureds
For coloured items, you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour. Ariel Color does
not contain bleach and therefore helps to
preserve colours.
Delicate Items
When washing delicates, such as wool, you
should use a product which is specially designed
to care for fine fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens and other delicates.
Laundry Bleach
For additional stain removal you may wish
to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach,
which is used in addition to your chosen
detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable
fabrics including coloureds.
