11. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

11.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first couple of times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty pockets and unfold.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside out.
• Pre-treat tough stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts.
• Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts, tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and
open the door (refer to "Daily Use" chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly around the tub;
c. press the Start/Paus button. The
spin phase continues.

11.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

11.3 Detergents and other treatments

• Only use detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization
– liquid detergents, preferably for
low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the recommended quantity of detergent.
• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding
the indicated maximum level ( ).
• Use the recommended detergents for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.

11.4 Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the prewash phase to wash laundry with normal soil.
• Always start a washing programme with the maximum load of laundry allowed.
• If you pre-treat the stains or use a stain remover, set a programme with a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, check the water hardness of your domestic system. Refer to "Water hardness".
Page 25

11.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.

12. CARE AND CLEANING

ENGLISH 25
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

12.1 External cleaning

Clean the appliance with mild soap and warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal surfaces with chlorine-based detergent.

12.2 Descaling

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water descaling product for washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to check for limescale.
Regular detergents already contain water softening agents, but we recommend to run a cycle with an empty drum and a descaling product occasionally.
Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

12.3 Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low temperature programmes can cause detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial growth inside the drum and the
tub. This could generate bad odours and mildew. To eliminate these deposits and clean the inner part of the appliance, run a maintenance wash regularly (at least once a month).
Refer to Cleaning the drum chapter.

12.4 Door seal

Regularly examine the seal and remove all objects from the inner part.

12.5 Cleaning the drum

Regularly examine the drum to prevent rust forming.
Clean the drum with special products for stainless steel.
Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
For a thorough clean:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
• Select the Vit/Kulörtvätt programme with the highest temperature Add a small quantity of powder detergent into the empty drum, in
Page 26

order to rinse out any left residues.
Occasionally, at the end of a cycle the display may show the
icon This is a recommendation to perform the “drum cleaning”.

12.6 Cleaning the detergent dispenser

To prevent possible deposits of dried detergent or clotted fabric softener and/or formation of mould in the detergent dispenser drawer, once in a while carry out the following cleaning procedure:
1. Open the drawer. Press the catch downwards as indicated in the picture and pull it out.
Make sure that all detergent residue
3.
is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Use a small brush to clean the recess.
4. Insert the detergent drawer into the guide rails and close it. Run the rinsing programme without any clothes in the drum.
2. Remove the top part of the additive compartment to aid cleaning and flush it out under running warm water, to remove any traces of accumulated detergent. After cleaning, put the top part back into position.

12.7 Cleaning the drain pump

Regularly check the drain pump filter and make sure that it is clean.
Clean the drain pump if:
• The appliance does not drain the water.
