Washing tips
Detergent
You can use all powder, compact (concentrated), tablet and liquid detergents
commonly available for use in automatic
washing machines.
Use the right detergent for the type and
colour of your fabrics:
►
Strong detergent for whites
►
Coloured detergent for coloureds
►
Gentle detergent for synthetics,
viscose and microfibre
►
Wool detergent for wool, silk and
outer wear
Detergent dosing
Follow the dosing recommendations on the
laundry packaging. The dosing quan ti ties
given on the packaging usually refer to full
drum loads.
For smaller wash loads reduce the dosing
quantity by one third (for machines with
load measurement: please note the information on the display).
Rule of thumb: If during the washing a foam
layer of the approximate thick ness of 2 cm
above the washing liquid and / or laundry
surface is detected, the dosing quantity has
been selected properly.
The correct detergent quantity is dependent
on:
►
the water hardness
►
the quantity of laundry
►
the degree of soiling
Water hardness
Water hardness plays an essential role in
washing and it is divided in three groups:
Hardness French
(°fH)
Soft 0 – 15 0 – 8
Medium 15 – 25 8 – 14
Hard › 25 › 14
German
(°dH)
Ask your local government about water
hardness in your area.
Quantity of laundry
With a half-full drum, reduce the quantity
of detergent by one third.
The degree of soiling
lightly soiled
No visible soiling or stains, the clothing
has only absorbed body odour for
example.
►
Reduce the quantity of detergent in
accordance with the recommended
dose.
►
Wash these fabrics in the express
programme (this saves time and energy
and is gentle to the textiles).
normal soiling
Visible soiling and a few faint stains.
►
Normal dosing as per the dosing
recommendation.
►
Wash these fabrics in the standard
programme.
11
Page 12
heavily soiled
Clearly visible soiling and stains.
►
Increased dosing as per the dosing
recommendation.
►
Pre-treat stains.
►
Select the programme options
Intensive, Prewash or Soak.
Notice
Insufficient detergent
►
Only becomes apparent after repeated
underdosing
►
The laundry becomes grey or not
properly clean
►
The laundry becomes hard (board-like)
►
Laundry has grey-brown spots
►
May lead to calcified heating elements
Excess detergent
►
Poorer washing results
►
Foaming over of the detergent and
breakdowns
►
Higher water consuption and costs
►
Increased washing programme length
►
Unnecessary environmental pollution
Liquid detergents and start time
pre-selection
If poured directly into the detergent drawer,
liquid detergent slowly runs out of the
detergent dispenser during the pre-set time
and thickens. If this happens several times,
it can lead to blockages due to detergent
deposits.
►
Use dosing aids such as dosing balls or
bags supplied with the detergent.
Soap-based detergents
Because soap does not contain anything
to prevent limescale, you should only use it
with soft or medium-hard water, together
with a separate water softener.
Notice
Without softerner, limescale and soap
residue can build up in the machine, which
will be deposited on laundry in the form of
grease spots or as limescale on the heating
element.
►
Activate the setting Soap wash
programme (see chapter Settings).
Water softeners
Special water softening aids can be used in
the water hardness ranges «medium» and
«hard». Dose detergents according to the
hardness level «soft» (follow the instructions on the packaging).
►
Add the detergent first and then the
water softener into the same compart-
mentfor best washing in results.
12
Page 13
Soaking agents
►
Choose the programme option Soak.
►
Add the soaking agents to compart-
ment of the detergent drawer.
Fabric softener, fabric conditioner
Before adding thick fabric softener add
water and stir to ensure that it is free of
lumps so that the siphon does not get
blocked.
►
Add to the fabric softener to com-
partment of the detergent drawer.
Notice
Do not exceed the «max» mark in the
fabric softener compartment. Otherwise
it will be washed in at the beginning of the
programme together with the detergent,
instead of in the programme step «Finish».
Bleach, stain removal salt
For bleachable stains you can add powered
laundry bleach and stain removal salt to
your laundry detergent.
►
For best washing in results, add the
laundry detergent first and then the
laundry bleach or stain removal salt
into compartment .
Impregnating agent
Garments can be evenly and permanently
impregnated in the washing machine.
Breathable all-weather clothing such as
GoreTex or SympaTex must only be treated
with the specifically designated impregnating agent. Otherwise you risk blocking
the breathing membranes (see also Pro-
grammes / Sportswear, outdoor / Impregnating).
Hot water supply
The following points should be noted:
►
The max. permissible hot water
temperature is 70 °C.
►
For pre-wash, for programme temperature of ≤ 30 °C as well as for the programmes «Delicates» and «Curtains»,
only cold water is used.
►
For programme temperatures ≥ 40 °C,
cold and warm water is mixed until
the programmed wash temperature is
reached.
Notice
In the case or textiles soiled with blood
or proteins, select the option Prewash.
Washing these stains out at a temperature
of about 30 °C prevents setting the stain
on the fabric at higher temperatures during
the main-wash.
13
Page 14
Environmentally compatible
washing
Your washing machine will operate most
efficiently and most environmentally friendly
if you fill it with the maximum laundry
quantity.
Small loads are uneconomical and result in
increased wear of laundry and machine.
Notice
Do not exceed the maximum loading
quantities!
Over filling detracts from the washing result
and may lead to fabric damage.
Save water, energy, detergent and time
by doing without pre-washing for normally
soiled laundry.
Washing tips
Sorting the laundry
Follow the care symbols in the fabrics.
do not wash
Laundry marked with this care symbol may
not be washed in the machine.
Sort the laundry by colour, fabric type and
temperature.
Wash whites and coloureds separately,
otherwise white laundry will become grey.
Knitwear made wholly or partly from wool
must also be labelled «non-felting» or
«machine washable», otherwise there is a
risk of felting during the washing process.
Important
Textiles with metal reinforcements can damage the components of the machine and
must not be washed in the washing machine
►
Wash brassieres with stiffeners in a
fine-mesh laundry bag because of the
risk of the wires becoming detached in
the wash and falling through the drum
perforations with resultant damage.
Preparing the laundry
►
Remove foreign bodies such as safety
pins, paper clips, coins etc from the
laundry.
►
Brush out sand from the pockets and
turn-ups.
►
Close zips, hooks, eyelets and Velcro
closures.
►
Turn trousers, knitwear or knitted fabrics,
e.g. jerseys, T-shirts, sweatshirts inside
out.
►
Button up duvet covers and pillowcases
and tie fabric belts and apron strings
together.
►
Wash laundry with cords and particularly tricky items in mesh bags (Do not
exceed 1.5 kg textiles per mesh).
.
Do not wash new coloureds with other
laundry due to the risk of discoloration!
Check that brassieres are machine
washable.
14
Page 15
Stain removal
Stains that are not pre-treated may
become set on the textiles during the
wash. Such stains may be permanent
or can only be removed with very strong
bleaching agents.
►
Stains should be removed or at least
pretreated immediately, as long as they
are fresh. Stains which have already
dried (in particular in sun light) are much
more difficult to remove.
►
Use water, soap, hard soap or pre-wash
agents for pre-treating.
►
Dab it on and slightly rub it in. Let it soak,
then rinse the textile.
It may sometimes be necessary to
pretreat, wash or soak textiles several
times in order to remove tenacious and
dried stains.
In this way it is possible to completely or
almost completely remove many typical
household stains like gravy, coffee,
chocolate, wine, fat, oil, fruit juices,
blood, etc.

Special programmes
Pressing the symbol button the menu
of the respective programme group is
called up.
Sportswear, outdoor
These programmes are suitable
weather gear, sports and leisure jackets
as well as modern clothing made of
microfibre or with a high microfibre
content, e.g. Gore-Tex or SympaTex.
►
Only use mild detergents, for GoreTex
and SympaTex, too.
►
Add liquid detergent to a dosing ball and
place it into the drum with your laundry.
Notice
Do not use fabric softener. This can block
the breathable membranes and prevent
successful subsequent impregnation.
Pre-treating stains
Heavy stains e.g. fat, sun cream, lipstick
or cosmetics, require suitable pre-treatment:
►
Rub liquid gentle detergent directly into
the stain with your fingers. Do not scrub
(Risk of damage to the fabric!).
►
Leave to work for around 5 minutes and
then wash the items in the washing
machine.
for
Impregnating
To prepare the laundry for impregnation,
it must first be washed clean and rinsed
with cleaning vinegar:

Add the laundry.
►
Add the detergent.
►
Pour the cleaning vinegar into com-
partment , until it reaches the
marking max.
►
Run the programme Sportswear,
outdoor.
►
Immediately after the washing
programme is completed, start the
Impregnating programme.
►
Add 3,5 dl impregnants at the same
time the water runs in into compart-
ment .
►
After impregnation in the washing
machine, the laundry shall be dried
completely at the maximum admissible
temperature for the respective textiles.
Notice
Microfibre fabrics, GoreTex and SympaTex should only be treated with special
impregnation products designed for
them.m. Otherwise, there is a risk that
the breathable membranes become
clogged.
33
Page 34
Homecare
Because of their high water level and
low spin speed, homecare programmes
are particularly well suited for household textiles made of mixed fabrics and
synthetics.
►
Select Rinsing stop to prevent
creasing

laundry net or bag (cushion cover).
Important
Older curtains are often very bleached
by the sun and no longer very resistant.
Machine washing can therefore cause
slight damage.
Businesswear
Usually there is no need to iron on-iron
shirts and blouses.
►
Hang the shirts and blouses up and let
them air dry.
►
Pre-treat heavily soiled collars and cuffs.
Antibac
The Antibac programme kills harmful
germs and mites to a great extent and
flushes out allergens especially well.

Cleaning and maintenance
Hygiene function
The hygiene function ensures the washing machine remains clean even when
using a low temperature programme.
If the temperature of the previous wash
cycle was under 60 °C, the message
« Autoclean 70 °C» will automatically
appear in the display when you select
another programme under 60 °C.
►
You now have the choice to either
switch to a 60 °C or 95 °C programme,
or first run the hygiene programme to
clean the machine.
►
To begin washing without first running
the hygiene programme, press
Hygiene programme
Select the 70 °C Autoclean hygiene
programme to clean the machine
(see Programme survey / Pro-
grammes Main menu / 70 °C
Autoclean).
Notice
Never place laundry in the machine or
use laundry detergents when running
the hygiene programme!
Caution
Danger of electric shock!
►
Switch off the power supply to the
machine before cleaning.
►
Under no circumstances spray the
machine with water.
►
Do not use a steam cleaner.
Notice
Solvents can damage parts of the
machine, produce poisonous vapour and
carry the risk of explosion.
Do not use cleaning agents containing

Cleaning the drum
►
Rust marks caused by metal parts
standing still for lengthy periods can be
removed with a chlorine-free cleaning
product (look at the description of the
ingredients on the pack).
Descaling the machine
Lime scale formation depends largely
on the hardness of the water. If the
correct amounts of detergent are used,
descaling is no longer necessary in general. If you do, however, wish to descale
the machine, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the packet.
Notice
Descalers contain acids, can attack
parts of the machine and cause discolouration of laundry.
Check water supply hose
To avoid water damage, we recommend
having this checked by a specialist after
around 5 years of fault-free operation.
Frost protection
If your washing machine is in a room
susceptible to frost, all residual water
must be removed from the detergent
pump and the water supply and drain
hoses immediately after use.
Emptying the water supply hose
Notice
Decrease the pressure in the inlet hose
before unscrewing it:
►
Turn the water tap off.
►
Select any programme, start it and end
it again after approx. 40 seconds. As a
result, the water pressure in the inlet
hose can be reduced.
