pillow case:

-Extremely delicate items, e.g. fine tights, net curtains.

- Small items, e.g. small socks or handkerchiefs.

- Underwired bras (the wire may come loose during washing and cause damage).

When washing trousers, knitwear and woven

fabrics, e.g. shirts,	T*shirts or sweatshirts, always
turn these items	inside out.

aution

Sorting the laundry Items of clothing can become discoloured. Never wash new multi0coloured items together with other items.

White items may become grey. Always wash white and coloured items separately.

	i Observe the treatment symbols on the textile
	labels		(refer also to separate	•Programme Chart"
	see Page 47).
	= do not wash
Degrees of dirt	Slight	dirt
	No recognizable dirt or staining. Laundry may have
	some	body odour.
	Normal		dirt
	Visible dirt and/or some light staining recognizable.
	Intensive		dirt
	Dirt and/or staining recognizable e.g. working clothes
	such	as	overalls or baker's and	butcher's coats.

Typical stains

- Skin fat, cooking oils / fat, sauces, mineral oil, wax (containing fat / oil).

-Tea, coffee, red wine, fruit, vegetables (bleachable).

-Blood, egg, milk, starch (containing protein / carbohydrate).

-Soot, soil, sand (pigments), red sand on tennis clothes.

Removing stains

Wherever possible remove / pretreat stains whilst they are still fresh

First dab soapy water onto the stain Do not rub

Subsequently wash the items of clothing using the appropriate programme

Several washing cycles may sometimes be required in order to remove stubborn / dried in stains

10

	Risk	of	explosion!
Loading the laundryItems of		clothing that have been		pretreated with
	solvent'based cleaning agents e g stain remover
	and dry cleaning spirit represent			an explosion	hazard
	once loaded into the washing machine Therefore
	these items		must first be rinsed	thoroughly by	hand

aution

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 appliance	lid and drum lid
Unfold presorted items of washing and place
loosely in the drum	Mix large and small items

Large and small items of washing distribute better during the spin cycle

Do not exceed recommended loads: Overloading will cause poor wash results and encourage creasing

The washing machine automatically reduces the

water	and	energy requirement for smaller amounts
of laundry
Close the drum lid
Do	not	trap items of washing between the drum
and	drum lid

11

Laundry Detergents and Additives

Dispensing the correct amount of detergent

Risk of poisoning!

Keep detergents and additives out of the reach of children.

Dispense the detergent according to:

the water hardness. This information can be obtained from your local water authority.

the amount of laundry.

the amount of soil.

the specifications of the detergent manufacturer. Dispensing the correct amount of detergent

relieves the strain on the environment and ensures optimum washing results.

Pour liquid detergent into the appropriate dispensing chamber.

Too little detergent:

The laundry is not cleaned properly and will, after a while, become grey and stiff.

Greyish brown spots (fat globules) may appear on the laundry. The heaters may calcify.

Too much detergent:

Environmentally incompatible, excessive foam reduces wash agitation causing poor washing and rinsing results.

12

Adding detergent/ cleaning product

Chamber I:

Detergent for prewash or starch.

Chamber II:

Detergent for main wash, softener, bleach, stain remover or soaking agent.

2 Chamber:

Additives, e.g. fabric softener or former (fill at least to lower edge of insert1).

If you select a programme without prewash, you can

60 °C Intensive/Stains

An energy+saving programme for stained or very dirty fabrics.

The extended washing time means that a cleaning result comparable to that of the°C 90programme is achieved using considerably less energy.

60 °C Cottons + Linens		with Prewash
For very dirty, hard+wearing fabrics.
30,	40, 60°C Cottons +	Linens
For	hard+wearing fabrics

30, 40, 60°C Easy&care

Basic	setting		In the	•Cottons + Linens", •Easy(care" and •Wool"
			programmes the fabrics will be spun at the maximum
			possible	spin speed.

In the •Delicates" programme a lower spin speed will automatically be used, regardless of the position of
