OPERATION

Operation Overview

Using the Appliance

Before the first wash, select the Normal wash programme and add a half amount of the detergent. Start the appliance without laundry. This will remove possible residues and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

Sort laundry and load items.

• Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, colour and load size as needed. Open the door and load items into the appliance.

Add detergent or softener.

• Add the proper amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser drawer. If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate areas of the dispenser.

Turn on the appliance.

• Press the Power button to turn on the appliance.

Choose the desired cycle.

• Press the cycle button repeatedly or turn the cycle selector knob until the desired cycle is selected.

• Now select a wash temperature and spin speed. Pay attention to the care labeling of your clothes.

Begin cycle.

• Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The appliance will agitate briefly without water to measure the weight of the load. If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within 15 minutes, the appliance will shut off and all settings will be lost.

End of cycle.

• When the cycle is finished, a melody will sound. Immediately remove your clothing from the appliance to reduce wrinkling. Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.

Preparing the Laundry

Sort laundry for best washing results, and then prepare laundry according to the symbols on the care labels.

Sorting the Clothes

• For best washing results, sort your clothes according to the symbol on the care labels according to the type of fabric and washing temperature and wash them with adapted spin speed.

• Always sort dark colours from pale colours and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discolouration of white and pale garments. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

• Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate clothes according to amount of soil. The Intensive option is effective when washing normally and heavily soiled laundry.

• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Separate white fabrics from coloured fabrics. Wash new dark and colored garments separately at first.

• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.

Checking the Clothes Care Label

This will tell you about the fabric content of your clothes and how it should be washed.

Symbols on the care labels

Symbol Wash / Fabric type

• Special Delicate Wash

• Delicates

• Easy Care

• Synthetic, Mixed Fabrics

• Normal Wash

• Cotton, Mixed Fabrics

• Hand Wash Only

• Wool, Silk

• Do not wash

NOTE

• The dashes under the symbol give you information about the type of fabric and the maximum allowance of mechanical stress.

Checking the Clothes before Loading

• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.

• Large items should not be more than half of the total wash load. Do not wash single items. This may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two similar items.

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your appliance and clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes.

• Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains to help lift dirt.

• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles.

CAUTION

• Check if the laundry gets stuck between the door and the seal, otherwise the laundry may get damaged while washing.

• Remove items from the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and door seal damage.

• Wash delicates (stockings, underwired bras) in a wash net.

Adding Detergents and Softeners

Detergent Dosage

• Detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer and selected according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and the washing temperature.

• If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent amount.

• If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will result in poor washing results or cause heavy load to the motor.

• If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow the guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.

• You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the wash cycle immediately.

• Do not use liquid detergent if you are using

Delay Wash function, or if you have selected Pre Wash option, as the liquid may harden.

• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.

• Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing the detergent and water temperature.

• Use only suitable detergents for the respective type of clothing:

− Liquid detergent is often designed for special applications, e.g. for coloured fabric, wool, delicate or dark laundry.

− Powdered detergent is suitable for all types of fabric.

− For better washing results of white and pale garments, use powdered detergent with bleach.

− Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the wash cycle.

NOTE

• Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or odour.

• Full load: According to manufacturer’s recommendation.

• Part load: ¾ of the normal amount

• Minimum load: ½ of full load

Adding Detergent

• Detergent for main wash a only ~ J

• Detergent for pre wash b and main wash a ~ d # J

NOTE

• Use the appropriate amount of detergent. Too much detergent, bleach or softener may cause an overflow.

• When selecting Pre Wash, divide the dosage

into ⅓ for pre wash and ⅔ for main wash.

Adding Detergent Tablet

Detergent tablet is also available when washing laundry.

Open the door and put detergent tablets into

the drum.

Load the laundry into the drum and close the

door.

NOTE

• Do not put tablets into the drawer.

Adding Fabric Softener

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener, which may stain clothes. Close the dispenser drawer slowly.

• Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 2 days (Fabric softener may harden).

• Softener will automatically be added during the last rinse cycle.

• Do not open the drawer when water is being supplied.

• Solvents (e.g. benzene, etc.) must not be used.

NOTE

• Do not pour fabric softener directly onto the garments, as this may cause stains on your clothing.

Adding Water Softener

A water softener, such as anti-limescale can be used to cut down on the use of detergent in areas with high water hardness level.

General Tips for Drying

Use the automatic programmes to dry most loads. Electronic sensors measure the temperature of the exhaust to increase or decrease drying temperatures for faster reaction time and tighter temperature control.

• Cold water tap must be left on during drying cycles.

• This appliance’s automatic process from washing to drying can be selected easily.

• For most drying, make sure all laundry are similar in material and thickness.

• Do not overload the appliance by stuffing too many articles into the drum. Items must be able to tumble freely.

• If you open the door and remove the load before the appliance has finished its programme, remember to press the Start/Pause button.

• After the end of dry, ENd is displayed.

Woolen Articles

Do not tumble dry woolen articles. Pull them to their original shape and dry them flat.

Blankets and Duvets

Check fabric care labels on blankets and duvets before using the drying programme. Some blankets and duvets may shrink by the heated air.

Rubber and Plastics

Do not dry any items made from or containing rubber or plastics, such as:

• Aprons, bibs, chair covers

• Curtains and table cloths

• Bathmats

Fiber Glass

Do not dry fiber glass articles in the appliance. Glass particles left in the appliance may be picked up by your clothes and cause skin irritation.

NOTE

• When you turn off the drying cycle of the appliance, the drying fan motor can be operated to save itself for 60 seconds.

• Be careful when removing your clothing from the appliance, as the clothing or appliance may be hot.

• The estimated drying time varies from the actual drying time during the Automatic cycle. The type of fabric, size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying time.
