PRACTICAL ADVICE REGARDING WASHING

I. Cleaning and
purifying agents

II. First wash

It is recommended to use powder or liquid general purpose
detergents for all temperatures in a range as per the deter­gent Producer’s recommendations indicated on the product
packaging.

Detergents

lPour the detergent into the drawer compartment marked
lPour the pre-wash detergent into the drawer compartment

marked

button.

III. Soil

IV. Conservation

Stubborn stains
Before washing garments, apply an additional stain remover ac­cording to the instructions for use
Heavily soiled:

lOne-off washing of smaller amounts of clothes
lAdd more detergent
lAfter washing heavily soiled clothes (e.g. working clothes) or

garments which are shedding bres, it is recommended that the

washing machine is rinsed out by running a programme cycle
at a temperature of 60°C, e.g. COTTON, without a load. Lightly
soiled:

lSee pt. „Conservation”.

Reducing energy and water consumption
Garments which are only lightly soiled should be washed using the
appropriate wash programme, i.e. ULTRA SHORT The washing
machine detects partial load. For partial load, when using the To­wels and Cotton programmes, washing machine will reduce water
and energy consumption and shorten the wash cycle.

PRACTICAL ADVICE REGARDING WASHING

V. Water hardness

VI. Power cut
(programme memory)

VII. Loading

VIII. Even load
distribution control

Hard water causes sediment to form.
Information about water hardness is available from your nearest
water works.
It is advised that water softeners are used for every wash.

Power cuts or unplugging the machine does not cancel the set­ting. This has been memorised and the cycle will continue once
the power is restored. Do not open the doors of the washing
machine during a power cut.

Maximum drum capacity 8 kg:
Load the washing into the drum according to the following in­structions:

lcotton, denim, children’s clothes – max full drum (do not force clo-

thes into the drum as this will reduce the quality of the wash!).

lsynthetics - max 1/2 drum
lwool, silk, delicate fabrics - max. approx. 1/3 of the drum.

Important! Do not overload the machine! Overloading the machine
may cause damage to the clothes being washed!

The maximum load amounts depending on the program are

given in table of programs.

The electronic control panel incorporates a balance control system.
Load distribution measurement is taken at the beginning of the
washing cycle. Washing machine drum rotates for about 4 minu­tes and then the wash cycle begins. Before spinning, the system
checks the distribution of clothes inside the drum. In the event that
too great an imbalance is discovered, it makes several attempts
to rearrange the clothes inside the appliance. Sometimes these

attempts may be insufcient to properly rearrange the clothes (in

the case of towelling dressing gowns washed along with other
types of garments, or sheets which have wrapped up in a ball with
other items inside).
The system may then react in two ways:

laccept the uneven distribution of garments and reduce spin

speed,

ldetermine that the garments are distributed too unevenly and not

allow the spin cycle to proceed.

In either case, after washing cycle is nished open the appliance

door, remove the laundry by hand, close the door and select the
spin setting again.

XI. Dosing

The washing machine is equipped with an interlock which prevents
the door from being opened during washing. Once a washing cycle
is complete, the door interlock is automatically released.
In order to open the door during the wash program, press PAUSE
button and wait to unlock the door.

IMPORTANT! If the temperature inside the drum is high, the
door may remain blocked until the water temperature has

dropped below 60°C.

IMPORTANT! Before opening the door of the washing machine

check whether there is water in the drum.
