Cautions and advice about using your
washing machine

In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from your
washing machine, please ensure you follow the instructions given
below:

9 Select the clothes load correctly and choose the appropriate

programme.

9 Before opening the door, check that there is no water in

the machine and the pilot light is off.

9 Put the washing products in the right proportion and in the right

compartment.

9 Small garments such as socks, belts, etc. are best put

inside a bag to avoid their being lost.

9 Before putting clothes into the washing machine, make sure that

there is nothing in the pockets (coins, buttons, clips, etc.) and
that the zips are undone.

9 If your machine has a filter, you should check regularly

that it is clean & not blocked. Be especially wary of coins,
brassiere wire & fluff/hair.

9 The interior of the washing machine should be handled by

specialists only. NEVER attempt to repair or modify it

yourself.

9 After each wash, leave the door ajar to prevent the rubber

seal from becoming misshapen or mouldy.

9 When the clothes to be washed are heavily soiled or splattered

with mud, it is advisable to run a programme with pre-wash.

9 Unless doing half load washing, always put the machine

on fully loaded to save energy.

9 When the machine has just been installed, or after a long

time without it being used, it is advisable to run a washing
programme with the machine empty, to eliminate any
rusty water in the tubes.

Filling your Washing

Machine’s Dispenser Drawer
with Detergent

Dispenser Drawer

The dispenser drawer consists of three compartments:

1) Pre-wash / Bio-wash Compartment

This compartment should be used only when programmes involving pre-wash or bio­wash have been selected. The amount of power used will depend on the fabric type
to be washed. We recommend following the detergent manufacturer’s directions.

2) Main wash Compartment

This compartment is used to store detergent that is going to be used in the main
washing cycle of any complete washing programme.

3) Fabric Conditioner Compartment

This compartment is used for fabric softeners. At the end of the washing programme,
water will automatically be siphoned out, leaving the compartment ready for the next
wash. NOTE: THERE IS A SIDE COMPARTMENT ON THE RIGHT (‘CL’) THAT IS FOR

BLEACH. ONLY USE SPECIAL LAUNDRY BLEACH ON WHITE COTTON MATERIALS
THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR THIS TREATMENT.

IMPORTANT!

The detergent dispenser drawer and housing must be cleaned periodically
to ensure that detergent and fabric softener do not build up and reduce
the appliance’s efficiency. To remove the drawer, pull it forward to its
fullest extent, lifting the front edge at the same time, then give a firm tug.
The dispenser drawer should now be rinsed, dried and replaced.

10

HOW MUCH DETERGENT SHOULD I USE?

NOTE: You will need more detergent for washing cycles
containing dirtier clothes.

o For very dirty

clothes, select a
programme with pre­washing, fill
compartment 1 with ¼ of
the amount of the
detergent you are putting
in compartment 2.

o For clothes that are

only slightly dirty, do not
pre-wash and put only a
small amount of
detergent into
compartment 2 in your
washing machine’s
dispenser drawer.

CAUTION: Only use detergents for automatic
washing machines. The amount needed for different washing
loads and types will be written on the packaging of your
detergent.

NOTE: The harder the water in
your area, the more detergent you
will need to use.

SOFTENERS

9 Fill the softener compartment in your detergent drawer with
softener. Do not exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, the softener will
diffuse in the washing water through the siphon. Dilute high density
softeners first.

FLUID DETERGENTS

9 You can use fluid detergents in all programmes without pre­washing. For this, move the fluid detergent level plate in the second
compartment of the detergent drawer and pour in the amount of fluid
detergent according to the levels on this plate.

11

Tips on washing your clothes.

Dirtiness

Sort the clothes according to
dirtiness. Give special
treatment to those which are
very dirty or have got difficult
stains.

Treat very dirty areas like
collars and cuffs before
washing.

Wash clothes that are only

slightly dirty in short
programmes. In this way,

you will save energy as well
as get better results.

Wash averagely dirty clothes
in a normal wash programme.

Wash very dirty clothes in a

Long Programme with a

Prewash.

Sensitivity

Certain clothes, either because

of their fabric or the way they

are made, may be sensitive to

action of your machine. When

washing them, it is best to use

DELICATE PROGRAMMMES.

You can wash woollen

garments( ) in the SPECIAL

WOOL PROGRAMME. Make

sure, first of all, that your

woollens are washable.

the residues of the softener thoroughly. Fit the cleaned siphon plug
back in place. Make sure it is sitting properly in place.

20

Cleaning the Cabinet

9 Clean the exterior surface of your machine with lukewarm water

and a cleaning substance that will not harm or scratch the cabinet.
After rinsing with clean water, wipe it with a soft and dry cloth.

PLEASE NOTE: If your washing machine is installed in a
location where the ambient temperature can fall below 0 °C, do
the following (once before you know your machine will be unused

for a long time).

o Plug in your Washing Machine.
o Close the water tap and pull out the water inlet hose or hoses from

the tap.

When you use your washing machine again, be sure that the ambient

temperature is above 0 °C.

Cleaning the Drum

*PLEASE NOTE: Do not leave metal parts like needles, staples or
coins inside your Washing Machine. These items cause rust build-up
in the drum. To clean these stains away, use a cleaning substance
(that doesn’t have chlorine in it) and follow the manufacturer’s
guidelines. Never use dish-washing wires or similarly rough objects.

*REMOVAL OF LIME FROM YOUR MACHINE

If you use the right amount of detergent in your washing machine,
there will be no need for lime removal. However, if you want to use
lime removers, please pay attention to their manufacturers’ warnings.
