Preparing the Wash Load

Sorting the Clothes

• For best washing results, sort your clothes according to the care label stating fabric type and washing temperature. Adjust the spin speed or spin intensity in accordance to the fabric type.

• Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate clothes according to soil level. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash dark or dyed clothes separately from whites or light colours. Mixing dyed clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discolouration of lighter clothes.

• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash separately lint producing fabrics from lint collecting fabrics. Lint producers can result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors.

Symbol Wash / Fabric type

• Do not wash

ENGLISH

• 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.

Checking the Clothes Care Label

The symbols tell you about the fabric content of your garment and how it should be washed.

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. Use only detergents that are suitable for Drum (front load) type washers.

• 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 have selected

Prelavado (Pre Wash)

dispense immediately and may harden in the drawer or the tub.

• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid overdosing the detergent. Failing to do so will cause oversudsing.

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

- 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.

option, as the liquid will

• 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: 1/2 of the normal amount.

• Minimum load: 1/3 of full load.

Using the Dispenser

To add detergent dosage to the dispenser:

Open the dispenser drawer.

Add the detergent and softener into the appropriate compartments.

Main wash detergent compartment

Pre-wash detergent compartment

Liquid fabric softener compartment

Liquid bleach compartment

Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the cycle.

• Slamming the drawer closed may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or dispensing into the drum earlier than programmed.

• Be careful not to get a hand caught in the drawer while closing.

• It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

Page 37

OPERATION-WASHER

NOTE

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

• Pour fabric softer to the maximum fill line. Pouring excessive fabric softener over the maximum fill line can cause it to dispense too early, which may stain the clothes.

• Do not pour fabric softener directly onto the clothes in the wash drum, doing so will cause dark staining on the clothes that will be difficult to remove.

• Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 1 day. Fabric softener may harden. Softener may remain in the dispenser if it is too thick. The softener should be diluted if the consistency is too thick so that it can flow easily.

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

• Solvents (benzene, etc.) must never be used.

Adding Detergent Tablets

Detergent tablets can also be used when washing.

Open the door and put detergent tablets into the drum before loading the clothes.

Load the clothes into the drum and close the door.

• Do not put tablets into the dispenser.

ENGLISH

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.

• First add detergent, and then the water softener. Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging.

Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution

Clothes take too long to dry.

Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.

• Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that the outside wall damper can open properly and is not blocked, jammed, or clogged.

Load is not properly sorted

• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry faster.

Large and heavy fabrics are loaded.

• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.

Dryer controls are not set properly.

• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper drying.

Lint filter needs to be cleaned.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.

Clothes are shrinking. Garment care instructions are not being followed.

Lint on clothes. Lint filter not cleaned properly.

Fabric softener used incorrectly.

• Check and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.

Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.

• Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later loads.

Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the dryer.

• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the instructions for your washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.

• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting.

• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions in the loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

Laundry not sorted properly.

• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).

Excess static in clothes.

• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity.

Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time. Select a lower dry level setting, if necessary.

Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.

• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use a lower dry level setting and/or shorter time settings.

Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter.

• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a cycle for very small loads.

• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.

• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large item after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, and then set a the item(s).
