Read clothing washing labels to help ­you sort them into different loads.

Sort the laundry by colour, by type of ­fabric, and by how soiled it is. Doing
so will help you choose the correct
programme and temperature for each
wash.

Do NOT use the appliance when the detergent drawer is removed.

This may result in a water leak.

Prewashing compartment

Softener compartment

Detergent compartment

Detergent compartment

The following detergents and additives may
be added to this compartment:

Detergent ­Water softening agent ­Stain remover ­Tub cleaning detergent or bleach -

Caution

If the instructions on the package
indicate that detergent should be
placed in the drum, do NOT put it
into the detergent drawer.

These detergents may not flow well
and remain in the detergent drawer.

If you use multiple chemicals in this
compartment for washing, add them in the
following order:

1. Detergent

2. Water softening agent

3. Stain remover

Detergent

Use only detergents that are recommended
for fully-automated washing machines.
Please use low suds detergents.

Liquid detergent1.

Note

Do NOT use liquid detergent with the
Prewash function. It may flow away
during the prewash.

For the Wool programme, use mild liquid
detergent.

Powdered detergent2.

Detergent reaches the drum only when
water flushes through the detergent
drawer. Thus, if you forget to add
detergent, run the Drain only function using
the Mode button.

Read Before Using - 11

Adding Detergent and Other Chemicals

Then, add detergent and start washing
again.

To prevent powdered detergent from
remaining in the drawer, perform the
following:

Dry the inside of the drawer with a cloth. ­Make sure that the detergent is not -

lumpy when you add it as this may
cause a blockage over time.

Amount of Detergent

The amount of detergent you should use
depends on the following factors:

How soiled the laundry is ­The amount of the laundry ­Water hardness -

The amount of foam varies according to
the amount and type of detergent, how
soiled the laundry is, and the hardness and
temperature of the water.

Water softening agent

If you live in a hard water area (total
hardness of 1.3 mmol/L or higher), we
recommend the usage of a water softening
agent. For more details on water hardness,
contact your local water authority.

Use of a water softening agent can help
reduce the amount of detergent that is
required for each wash and help prevent
the formation of limescale deposits, which
may damage the appliance.

Softener compartment

The following additives may be added to
this compartment:

Fabric softener ­Laundry starch -

Fabric Softener

To prevent static, add softener before you
start washing. It will be automatically added
in the final rinse cycle.

Dilute concentrated softeners before you
add them. Add up to only 130 ml to the
compartment to avoid overflowing.

Undiluted
softener

Rinse out the remaining softener with
a splash of water or a damp cloth after
washing. If it sticks to the compartment,
pull out the drawer and clean it out. (See
page 22.)

Laundry starch

Simply add laundry starch to the softener
compartment. It will be automatically added
to the clothing as part of the final rinsing
process. Make sure that you do not fill the
compartment over the MAX level.

If it is hard to pour, you can dilute the
starch slightly with water before adding it.

Note

After using starch, clean the detergent
drawer, especially the softener cover
(see page 22). Then, run the Rapid 15
programme WITHOUT detergent to
remove any excess starch in the drum.

Hanging the laundry

Hang out white or light-coloured wool ­and nylon items away from direct heat or
sunlight.

After washing, lay out wool and nylon ­clothes, and return them to their normal
shape before hanging in the shade. This
saves on ironing too.

Hang wool items without folds or ­creases, or spread them out to dry.

Use hangers for shirts, blouses and ­trousers.
You may wrap a towel around the
hanger to approximate the clothing’s
shoulder width so that it will retain its
shape as it dries.

Tips for washing delicates

Putting laundry in the drum

Pile them one on top of each other.

Detergents

For wool items, use a mild liquid ­detergent. Other detergents may
damage the clothes.

With Wool, Delicates, and Silk/Lingerie ­programmes, you may need to use the
Extra Rinse function to remove excess
detergent from the laundry. (See page

20.)

If clothing shrinks in the wash

Spread the item out to its original size on
an ironing board. Use dress pins to hold
the size and shape. Then, use an iron to
steam it and leave it to dry.

the drum and give off an odour. You can
avoid this by running the 90°C Cotton
programme once a month. (If you use a
scale remover, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.)

Caution

Viruses and bacteria are not killed
in water temperature of 40°C.
Pathogens can spread via the
commingling of clothes and thus
transmit diseases.

Pathogens die at 60°C or higher.
However, using water temperatures up
to 90°C is unnecessary.

Troubleshooting - 25

26 - Troubleshooting

Fault Checklist

Problem Cause

No water flows into
the appliance during
the rinsing process.

Rinsing begins
before the spin
process finishes.

Rinse/Spin

During spin-dry,
the drum stops and
rotates several times.

Foam and water
remain in the door or
door seal.

Spin cycle repeatedly
starts and stops.

The displayed

Time

remaining time
changes.

Before rinsing, the appliance spins to drain out remaining ­water. The water will fill up after that.

The appliance may have detected an unbalanced load, ­which is caused by the laundry shifting to one side of
the drum, so rinsing started automatically to correct the
imbalance.

After washing, excess foam may remain, so the water is ­drained out and refilled to wash it away. This feature is
called foam detection.

This is normal; the appliance has detected an unbalanced ­load and is trying to correct it.

Although some foam and water might remain depending ­upon the state of the laundry and the amount of detergent
used, the performance of the rinse cycle is unaffected.

This is normal; intermittent spinning of the tub helps the ­spin process to operate quietly.

The laundry may be too light. If so, add one or two bath ­towels.

The remaining time is estimated and corrected continually. ­Thus, the time displayed may change.

The remaining time increases if an extra rinsing and ­spinning are required to correct an unbalanced load, which
is caused by the laundry shifting to one side of the drum.
