section INSTALLATION.

6-2 6-1

6.2. Water connection

▶ Before connecting check the cleanliness and clar-

ity of the water inlet.

▶ Tun on the tap (Fig.6-2).

Note: Tightness

Before use check for leakage in the joints between the tap and the inlet hose by turning on the tap.

6.3 Preparing laundry

▶ Sort out clothes according to fabric (cotton, syn-

thetics, wool or silk) and to how dirty they are (Fig. 6-3). Pay attention to the care labelling of washing labels.

▶ Separate white clothes from coloured ones.

Wash coloured textiles rst by hand to check if

they fade or run.

▶ Empty pockets (keys, coins, etc.) and remove

harder decorative objects (e.g. brooches) as well as ﬂammable objects (paper tissues, lighters, matches etc.).

▶ Garments without hems, delicates and nely woven textile such as ne curtains are to be

put into a wash bag to care for this delicate laundry (hand or dry cleaning would be better). ▶ Close zippers, velcro fastener and hooks, make sure the buttons are sewn on tightly. ▶ Place sensitive items like laundry without rm hem, delicate underwear (Dessous)

and small items such as socks, belts, bras, etc. in a wash bag. ▶ Unfold large pieces of fabric such as bed sheets, bedspreads etc. ▶ Turn jeans and printed, decorated or color-intensive textiles inside out; possibly

wash separately.

6-3

Note: Special hints for drying

▶ Sort clothes according to fabric(cotton, synthetics, etc.) desired dry level and equal

residual moisture. Follow the instructions on the laundry label and dry only machine-

dryable garments ▶ Spin the laundry with the maximum spin speed before drying. ▶ Do not exceed the max. load of 6 kg. ▶ Extra large pieces tend to wind up. If the laundry has not been suciently dry, loosen

up the laundry and dry again with programme DRY. ▶ Especially delicate fabrics which can easily shrink or lose their shape, as well as e.g. silk

stockings, lingerie etc. should not be dried with the appliance. Put delicate garments

inside a laundry bag and avoid overdrying them.

▶ Jersey and knitwear

should not be dried to avoid shrinkage.
