13.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Obey the washing instructions that are
on the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash together white and col­oured items.

• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend that
you wash them separately for the first
times.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.

• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,
wool and items with painted illustra­tions.

• Remove hard stains.

• Wash with a special detergent heavy
soil stains.

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove
the hooks or put the curtains in a wash­ing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance :
– Laundry without hems or with cuts
– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.

• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in the
tub and start the spin phase again.

13.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.

We recommend that you remove these
stains before you put the items in the ap­pliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is applica­ble to the type of stain and fabric.

13.3 Detergents and additives

• Only use detergents and additives spe­cially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of deter­gents.

• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of deter­gent.

• Obey the instructions that you find on
the on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the programme
temperature and the level of soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not set
the prewash phase.

• If your appliance has not the detergent
dispenser with the flap device, add the
liquid detergents with a dosing ball.

13.4 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you use
a water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it
is not necessary to use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on the
packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water
hardness:

• German degrees (°dH).
