Loading the laundry

TO AVOID EXPLOSION HAZARD!

Items of clothing that have been pretreated with solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover and dry cleaning solvents, represent an explosion hazard once loaded into the washing machine.

Therefore, these items must first be rinsed thoroughly by hand.

Loose debris in the washing machine drum can damage the laundry. Before loading the laundry,

check that there is no debris in the drum.

Open the door.

Unfold the sorted items of clothing and place them loosely into the drum. Mix up large and small items. Items of varying size will distribute better during the spin cycle.

[_Do not exceed the maximum load.

Overloading will cause poor wash results and will increase wrinkling.

For best results it is recommended to

load the drum depending on the fabric type, see special programs Page 17 for information on bulky items, e.g.

comforters.

Laundry Detergents and

Additives

Dispensing the correct

amount of detergent

TO AVOID RISKOF POISONING!

Keep detergents and additives out of the reach of children.

Measure out the detergent (powder or

liquid) according to:

- The water hardness. This information can be obtained from

your local water authority. Soft water requires less detergent.

- The amount of laundry.

- The degree of soiling. Information on soiling can be found on Page

15.

- The specifications of the detergent manufacturer. Measuring the

correct amount of detergent reduces the strain on the

environment and ensures optimum washing results.

Too little detergent:

The laundry is not cleaned properly and will eventually become gray and stiff.

Grayish brown spots (fat globules) may appear on the laundry. The heater may

calcify.

Too much detergent:

Not environmentally friendly, excessive suds reduce wash agitation producing

)oor washing and rinsing results or

may prevent proper spinning.

Filling laundry detergent and/or additives

Open the flap of the detergent dispenser.

Add the detergent and/or additive.

Dispenser I: Dispenser for detergent, stain remover.

[_We recommend HE detergents

because they are particularly

designed to deliver optimum

performance from your

front-loading washer. Not

using HE detergent could cause problems such as oversudsing,

extended cycle periods, or a decrease in wash performance.

Dispenser I1: Cleaning additives, e.g. fabric softener,

fabric conditioner. Do not fill over edge

of max line! Dispenser II1:

Dispenser for liquid bleach (chlorine bleach, color safe bleach).

Do not overfill!

[_ Concentrated or thick fabric

softener, conditioner and

powder-bleach must be diluted

with a littlewater before being

poured into the dispenser (prevents overflow due to

obstruction).

[_ Close the flap of the detergent

dispenser. Please ensure the

lid is entirely closed.

Decolorizing

Dyes may contain sulphur or chlorine. These substances may cause parts of the washing machine to corrode. Do not dye items of

laundry in the washing machine.

Programs

and Functions

Cycle time will vary depending on cycle selected, temperature and pressure of

incoming water, water hardness, size of load, type of fabrics and distance of

unit from the drain. The maximum spin speeds of the

programs are dependent upon the cycle. For adjusting the spin speed, see page 21.

Basic programs

Regular/Cotton Temp boost

Regular/Cotton settings are intended to be used for heavily soiled and/or stained colorfast fabrics. Sturdy,

hard-wearing items made of cotton or linen such as towels, sheets or white

sports socks.

Regular/Cotton Hot

Normally and/or heavily soiled colorfast fabrics. Sturdy, hard wearing items

made of cotton or linen such as work clothes and underwear.

Regular/Cotton Warm

Lightly and/or normally soiled non-colorfast fabric. Sturdy, hard wearing items made of cotton or linen such as jeans, T-shirts and sweatshirts.

Regular/Cotton Cold

Lightly soiled non-colorfast fabric. Sturdy, hard wearing items made

of cotton or linen (colors that may bleed or fade).

Permanent Press Hot

Items consisting of normally soiled colorfast cotton, permanent press,

linen, synthetic or blended fabrics and outer garments. Clothes requiring a

special tumble sequence and spin speed to minimize creasing.

Permanent Press Warm

Items consisting of lightly and/or normally soiled non-colorfast cotton, permanent press, linen, synthetic or blended fabrics and outer garments. Clothes requiring a special tumble sequence and spin speed to minimize creasing, such as blouses, shirts and

overalls.

Permanent Press Cold

Special programs

Delicates/Silk

Delicates/Silk settings are intended for use with delicate easy care items made

of cotton, satin, synthetic or blended fabrics and curtains, dresses, skirts

and blouses. Bulky items, e.g. comforters, can be

washed with this cycle because of gentle action and additional rinse (automatically added). No spinning between rinse cycles.

Hand Wash Hand Wash settings are intended for

very delicate easy care items that usually require hand washing.

These cycles have been specifically designed to provide extremely gentle

treatment of fabrics. Silk or other items marJ;_d with the

"Hand Wash" symbol _] on the care label can be safely washed with this cycle.

Wool Woolens (machine wash and hand

wash), XXTRA SANITARY

This program was specifically designed to eliminate most common houshold

bacterium while providing gentle

treatment of fabrics, At the beginning

of the washing phase, hot water is introduced and then the internal

heating element heats the water to

167°F-174°F for a minimum of three

minutes, Clothes will be saturated in

the hot water long enough to kill most

common household bacterium, yet without causing additional wear and

tear to the clothes,

Used for heavily soiled and/or stained colorfast fabrics that need to be

sanitized, such as, towels, underware, socks, bed sheets, table clothes, etc,

During the washing phase, the drum rotates in opposite directions at 40 rpm repeatedly, Spin speed reaches 1200 rpm for both intermediate and final spin

to reduce the remaining moisture

content and chemical residues contained in the loads as well as

optimize the rinsing efficiency,

Additional options can be selected for this program such as "Rinse plus",

"Bleach", and "Power wash", All these options can be selected individually or simultaneously,

Selecting "Rinse plus" will add an additional rinse to the program to better

remove chemical residue, Selecting "Bleach" option will ensure

bleach dispensation at the right time.

The dynamic load sensor will add

enough water to dilute the bleach, preventing bleach marks on the

clothes.

"Power wash" option will extend the wash phase to a longer period of time

to achieve optimum wash performance

(see detailed explanation of Power wash on page 21).

AquaGuard AquaGuard is designed to work in

conjunction with specially designed chemicals to rejuventate the water-resistant qualities of sports- and

outer-wear, The textiles are first cleaned with special detergents and

then treated with water-proofing

agents which are available at most department and sporting-goods

stores,

Additional options which can be

selected include "Rinse plus", "Reduced ironing", and "Power Wash"

Maximum load is 3 Ibs, ]]Use special detergent! Pour into

detergent (left) compartment,

]]Water-proofing agents must be

added via the softener (middle) compartment,

]]Do not use fabric softener when

washing water-resistant clothing! Textiles treated with fabric softener

may lose their water-resistant properties,

Following application, some water-proofing agents require the

textiles to be heat-treated in the tumble dryer or by ironing the textiles

after they have been dried in air, The manufacturer's instructions should be

followed carefully to ensure proper treatment,

Some residual water-proofing agent may be seen in the washing machine

as afine film, This film will be removed in the next full wash cycle

(Regular/Cotton with detergent) and will not harm the items of clothing washed in subsequent programs, Alternatively, start a seperate wash cycle, Wipe any

film off the washing machine door with

a damp cloth and household cleaner. Spins

Spin cycle for spinning wet, hand washed laundry,

Water is drained before and during the

spin cycle, Soak

A cycle for pre-treatment of heavily

stained items, The soak cycle lasts 2 hours and ends with a short spin cycle.

All the water is pumped out,

Drain Can be used to drain water without a

spin cycle.

Special features

Auto Load adjust

"Auto Load adjust" adjusts the water and energy consumption for each

program and determines the amount of laundry and type of fabrics.

This process is built into your machine

and occurs automatically.

This control reduces water and energy

consumption when washing small loads.

A flow sensor measures the water flow

rate and meters the exact volume of water required for the load.

This sensor ensures the water level is

correct for washing your laundry - from our economical "Regular/Cotton" and

"Permanent Press" programs to the "Delicates/Silk", "Hand wash", "Wool",

"AquaGuard" and "XXTRASanitary" cycles.

Unbalanced load detection system The automatic unbalanced load

detection system spins the laundry several times to ensure even

distribution.

Ifthe wash load is unevenly distributed, it will not spin (for safety reasons) or the final spin speed is reduced.

Inthe wool program the appliance will attempt to start the spin cycle only twice in order to prevent shrinking.

Displayed Time

Due to these and other characteristics of the controls the actual cycle time will vary.

When a program has been selected, the expected cycle time is displayed. The following will effect the displayed

time:

- Load size

- Repeated spin attempts to evenly

distributed load

- Additional rinse cycles if excessive

foam occurs

- Water pressure is too low

- Selection of additional options,

e.g. "Rinse plus"

[_You may notice these effects

(more or lesstime) changing the displayed time when they occur in the cycle. If no options are

selected and these effects do not occur, the time indicated will be

that there are no leaks. If water is leaking, check that the strainer is

properly attached. Turn off the water taps.

Cleaning Tips

It is recommended that a small amount

of household bleach be run through the washer every 3 months.

With no laundry in the machine, run the machine as follows:

Pour 1 cup of bleach in Detergent

compartment of the dispenser

Run a Regular/Cotton Hot

program

Descaling the washing machine

Descaling agents contain acids which may attack parts of the washing machine and discolor the laundry.

Provided that you use the correct type of detergent, it is not necessary to descale the washing machine.

Ifwhite spots, lime or mineral deposits appear on the interior of the washing machine drum you can use a descaling agent to remove them.

However, if the appliance has to be descaled, please follow the instructions provided by the descaling agent manufacturer.
