8 BEFORE WASHING

Before you start washing, here is some advice
that can be useful.

SORTING THE WASHING

Sort garments in relation to:

• How soiled they are

• Colour

• Material

GARMENTS

• Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe
against other items.

• New coloured garments can have surplus dye
and should therefore be washed separately the
first time.

• Turn garments inside out.
This reduces the risk of bur­ling and dye creases.

• Empty pockets and suitably
let them wash turned inside
out.

RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING

Check the recommended washing marking on
garments. The table below gives useful informa­tion on suitable washing programmes for diffe­rent materials and amounts of washing.

COLOURED COTTON

Coloured cotton garments marked with a re­commendation for 60ºC should be washed the
first time at 60ºC to get rid of any surplus dye.
If this advice is ignored there is a risk that co­lours will run. Use a detergent without bleach
to safeguard the colours.

DELICATE WASHING
Unbleached linen

Unbleached linen should be washed at 60ºC
using a detergent without bleach or optical
whitening agent. Severely soiled linen can oc­casionally be washed at a higher temperature,
but not too often because heat can destroy the
lustre and strength of linen.

Wool and silk

Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine
wash, and sometimes hand wash. The W ool and
Hand programmes of the machine are at least
as gentle as washing by hand.

Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical
processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying,
you can press out the water instead using terry
towelling. In this case, you should select No
Spin. See Chapter 9, Washing for details of how
to select this setting.

Most garments will tolerate a short spin, ho­wever. The Wool and Hand programmes al­ways include a short spin.

Man-made fibres and synthetic fibres

These materials require a lot of space if they are
not to crease. Fill the drum only to half load
when washing man-made/synthetic fibres. Se­lect a short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800
revolutions/minute or lower.

NOTE

Viscose and acetate are brittle when wet.

MINIMIZING ALLERGY RISKS

This washing machine offers a Super rinse func­tion

. You should use this to take account
of persons with a sensitive skin, for example
persons with allergies and infants.

PRE-SOAKING

The Pre-soaking option 2h means that your
washing will be soaked for two hours before the
programme starts. This is useful for highly soi­led washing.
The drum will rotate on two occasions every
tenth minute.

SAVE TIME

Use the White/Coloured programme to save
time. This programme has a shorter main wash
than ”Normal”, but it is often sufficient for nor­mally soiled washing.

ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY

You can save a lot of energy by not using a
stronger programme than necessary.

- Without increasing the temperature, the wash­ing effect can be increased by selecting the
option. You will then save energy without lo­sing any washing effect.

- Select a fast spin speed to reduce the energy
consumption for subsequent drying in a tumble
dryer or a drying cabinet.

- Select Quick if you simply need to freshen up
shirts or training kit, etc. You will save both
water and energy.

10

DETERGENTS

Overdosing detergent will not give better re­sults, it only increases the burden on the envi­ronment.

T ry using less detergent, and increase the dose
only if you are displeased with the washing re­sults.

TEXTILE DYEING

If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select
Normal with the Super rinse option, .

Choose a temperature according to recom­mendations from the dye maker. If the fabrics
to be dyed are mixtures such as cotton/polyes­ter, you should select a spin speed of 800 revo­lutions/minute.

NOTE

Bleaches or stain removers that contain the che­mical Na2S2O4, known as sodium dithionite or
sodium hyposulphite, must not be used in this
washing machine. If these substances are used
they could cause corrosion and discoloration.

NOTE

Put the dye directly in the drum - not in the
detergent compartment. After dyeing, the emp­ty machine should be run using the same pro­gramme. Use a normal amount of detergent.

11 CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE COIN TRAP AND THE DRAIN PUMP

The washing machine has a trap in which coins,
hairpins and similar items fasten. Clean the coin
trap and the drain pump as follows:

1.Ensure that the machine is drained and the
main power switch is turned OFF.

2.Open the drain pump cover. Use the parti­tion piece from
the detergent
compartment, as
illustrated.

3.Drain off the water, eg, in a bowl, by pulling
loose the drain
hose from its con­nection on the in­side of the cover.

4.Open the pump by turning its cover antic­lockwise. Lift off
the cover together
with the coin trap.

CLEANING THE DETERGENT COMPARTMENT

Pull out the detergent compartment as far as it
goes.

Then pull upwards and outwards as illustrated.

Flush and brush the detergent compartment.
Put the detergent compartment back in.

NOTE

Do not wash the detergent compartment in a
dishwasher.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE

Use a mild detergent to clean the outside of the
machine. Do not use any solvents, they can da­mage the machine.

NOTE

Do not spray the machine with water.

5.Clean out any objects and foreign matter from
the pump housing.
Ensure that the
pump blade, at the
rear, can be rota­ted.

6. Screw on the cover together with the coin
trap, put the drain
hose back on its
connection and
close the cover.

20

CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE TO PRE­VENT PROBLEMS WITH ODOUR

Today’s modern detergents mean that washing
at low temperatures is often sufficient. Howe­ver, this can result in small deposits forming
inside the machine. These can eventually lead
to odour problems.

T o avoid these problems, we r ecommend run­ning a 95° programme on a few occasions each
year. You should use a small quantity of deter­gent at the same time. It is not necessary to fill
the machine with washing.

2

1

CLEANING HOLES UNDER THE RIDGES

If you suspect that objects, eg, nails, paperclips,
pins and so on, have fallen through the washing
drum you should check the space underneath
the ridges. Such items can corrode and cause
rust stains on your washing. Nails and other
sharp objects can tear fabrics.

Proceed as follows:

1.Use a screwdriver or similar tool.

2.Insert the screwdriver

in the middle hole in
the ridge and care­fully push the
screwdriver handle
to the left.

3. Grip the ridge with
your other hand and
pull it towards you
as illustrated.

HARD WATER

If you live in an area that has hard water, the
washer drum may become coated with a grey­white deposit. To get rid of the deposit, pour a
packet of citric acid, about 20 gram, in the drum
and run the Normal programme at 95°C. You
will find citric acid on the spice shelf in your
grocer’s store.

4.Lift up the ridge.

5.Remove any objects.

6.Position the ridge in the fixing holes with the

F-mark facing you. Ensure that the ridge lugs fit
firmly in their holes in the drum. Slide away
from you until it stops.

21

12 TROUBLE SHOOTING

MACHINE WILL NOT START

1.Is the door properly closed? Press it shut firm­ly.
