ADVICE AND TIPS BEFORE WASHING
LAUNDRY LABEL SYMBOLS
Examples of washing instructions and recommended programmes. Always follow the washing instructions for each
garment.
Laundry labels Material Program
Cotton, linen, white and light-coloured items. Everyday wash 60 °C to 95 °C
Cotton, linen, cotton/polyester. Light and dark-coloured
garments.
Acrylic, viscose, modal, acetate, polyester, polyamide
and elastane. Light and dark-coloured garments.
Wool, silk and other very delicate garments Wool/hand wash 30 °C to 40 °C
or
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 rst 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.
Quick 60 °C
Easy Care 40 °C
COLOURED COTTON
Coloured cotton garments labelled with washing
instruction 60 °C must be washed at 60 °C initially to
remove any excess dye. Failure to observe this advice
could lead to the colour running.
Use detergent without bleach to preserve the colour of
the fabric.
UNBLEACHED LINEN
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 60 °C,
using detergent without bleach or optical brighteners.
Heavily soiled linen can be washed at higher
temperatures, but not too often as the heat may destroy
the sheen and strength of the linen.
WOOL
These fabrics are labelled for either machine wash or for
hand wash. The machine’s Wool/hand wash programme
is at least as gentle as washing by hand.
LAUNDRY LABELS
Look at the item’s laundry label. The table below shows
suitable wash programmes for dierent 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 nd out what produces the best
results.
Wool is especially sensitive to processes such as
washing. If you do not wish to spin dry, you can squeeze
out the water using terry towels. In this case select No
spin. However, most garments can withstand a short spin.
Choose a short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800 rpm
or less.
RAYON FIBRES AND SYNTHETIC
FIBRES
Materials made of rayon bres, such as viscose, and
some synthetic bres are very delicate and require much
space so as not to crease. Only half ll the drum when
washing and choose a spin speed of 800 rpm or lower.
NOTE!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
5
ADVICE AND TIPS BEFORE WASHING
SAVE TIME AND ENERGY
Use the Everyday wash program to save time and energy.
This program has a shorter main wash than Standard
cotton, but is often sucient for lightly soiled washing.
HIGH WATER LEVEL
If you want more water for the main wash and rinses, you
can use the High water level option. High water level is
used automatically in the Wool/hand wash programme.
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY
You can save a lot of energy by not using higher
temperature programs than necessary.
• Select Quick if you just need to freshen up shirts or
exercise clothes, for example. This will save both water
and energy.
• If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces energy
consumption when drying in a tumble dryer or drying
cabinet.
• Always wash with a full load when using the Heavy,
Everyday wash and Normal programs.
• Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and detergents
clean eectively without pre-washing. Pre-washing is
only necessary for heavily soiled washing.
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. Try to use less detergent, and increase only
if you are not satised with the results.
DYEING FABRICS
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select the
Everyday wash programme with the Super rinse option.
Select temperature according to the dye manufacturer’s
recommendations. Choose a low spin speed if the fabric
to be dyed is a blended material such as polyester/cotton.
NOTE!
Add the dye directly to the washing drum – not to the
detergent compartment. After dyeing, you should run
the machine empty using the same program. Use the
normal amount of detergent.
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.

Liquid detergent
When using a liquid detergent, observe the detergent
manufacturer’s recommendations. We recommend
using a laundry ball with thick detergents. In the main
detergent compartment, use the section wall (A). Add
the detergent into the front compartment of the detergent
dispenser.
Wash ball or net
If you use a wash ball or net, place it directly in the drum
and select a programme 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 satised 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 ll above the compartment’s maximum ll level.
Otherwise fabric softener will run in too early, and will
impair washing results.
B
C
The quantity of detergent needed depends, amongst
other things, on how hard the water is. See the detergent
pack for details. Phone your local water company to
check the water hardness in your area.
The detergent packaging will have recommendations
for how much detergent you should use. The machine
holds 10 kg of washing. If you only have a small amount
of laundry in the machine, you can reduce the amount of
detergent used.

INSTALLATION
POSITIONING THE WASHING MACHINE
The washing machine can be installed as a built-in or
freestanding unit. Place the machine on a rm surface
with easy access to the plug.
A. Built-in
The washing machine can be installed under a counter
top with a working height of 850-900 mm. Leave a 5 cm
space around the entire machine, including between the
rear edge of the top cover and the wall behind it.
B. Freestanding
The washing machine can be positioned beside or under
a tumble dryer.
ADJUSTING THE FEET
Keep the noise that the machine produces to a minimum
by adjusting the feet so that the machine is steady and
balanced on the oor. Tighten the lock nuts.

Use only the supply hose supplied with the machine. Do
not re-use old hoses or other loose supply hoses.
DRAINAGE CONNECTION
The machine is supplied with a drainage hose attached,
which must be connected to a drain. See the examples
below. The height must be 600 –900 mm above oor
level.
The lower position (600 mm) is always preferable.
Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.
600--900 mm
The machine can also be connected to the drain via a
spigot connection. In this case the hose should also be
600-900 mm above the oor. The internal diameter of
the hole should be at least 18 mm.
CONNECTION TO WATER SUPPLY
Water connection should be carried out by an
appropriately qualied person. Connect the machine
using the accompanying supply hose. Water pressure
should be 0.1–1MPa (approx. 1–10kp/cm2 ; 10–100N/
cm2). There should be a stopcock on the water pipe.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise to
ush them through so that any dirt is washed away.
Otherwise, dirt can clog the lter in the machine’s water
intake and cut o cut o or reduce water ow to the
machine. Check for leaks.
• Cut the nipple
• Remove burrs from the hole.
