tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer
door is restricted.
To minimize the risk of re in a tumble dryer, the following should be
observed
CAUTION
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
re hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-affected items can ignit
spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The
items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If
the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stackin
or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a re hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should rst be
washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other ammable or explosive substances should no
be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly ammable substances commonly used in domesti
environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Safety information
Items containing foam rubber(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. Like
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials
can, when heated, produce re by spontaneous combustion
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate
the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specically recommended by th
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.

be connected through the hose clip to the
standpipe, and the standpipe must fully
cover the drain hose.
For best performance, the washing
machine must be installed on a solid oor.
Wood oors may need to be reinforced
to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced
loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
not a good resistance to vibrations and may
cause the washing machine to move slightly
during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washing machine on a
platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washing machine in areas
where water may freeze as the washing
machine always retains some water in its

Laundry guidelines
Before you start
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
•Care Label: Sort the laundry into cottons, mixed bres, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
•Colour: Separate whites from colours.
•Size: Mixing different-sized items together in the drum improves the washing
performance.
•Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately using an Easy Iron option for pure, new
woollen items, curtains, and silk items. Check the labels on the items.
NOTE
Make sure to check the care label on the clothing, and sort them accordingly before starting
the wash.
•Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry
items as well as the drum.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
•If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the drum may be damaged. Zippers
should be closed and xed with a string.
•Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the
strings before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
•Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres
may break through and tear other laundry items.
Before you start
•Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become
caught around the door. Place them inside a ne laundry net.
•Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected course if the laundry is heavily soiled. Do not use
the Prewash option when detergent is manually added into the drum.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washing machine. Overloading may cause the washing machine to not
wash properly. For the load capacity for the type of clothing, see page 35.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin
efciency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin
cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2 kg or less.
CAUTION
If the laundry is unbalanced and the “UB” information code is displayed, redistribute the load.
Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool),
colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent,
which is designed for automatic washing machines.
NOTE
•Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are
not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
•Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidied. This detergent may remain
after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the wool course, use only a neutral liquid detergent. If used with
the Wool course, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolour the laundry.
Laundry capsules
To get the best results from using laundry capsules, please follow these instructions.
1. Put the capsule in the bottom of the
empty drum towards the rear.
Before you start
2. Put the laundry in the drum on top of
the capsule.
