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 dierent 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.

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 sucient 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 eectively 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 satised 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 satised 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.

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 qualied 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.
