Washing tips
Detergent
All powder, compact (concentrated), tablet
and liquid detergents for use in automatic
washing machines can be used.
Pay attention to the materials and colours
of the textiles:
Whites
Coloureds
Synthetics,
viscose, microfibre
Wool, silk, outer wear
Detergent dosing
Follow the dosing recommendations on
the laundry packaging. The dosing quanti 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
►
Strong detergent
►
Coloured detergent
►
Gentle detergent
►
Wool detergent
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
A few faint stains visible.
►
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 the programme is delayed, liquid detergent should not be filled directly into
the detergent drawer. Otherwise, it could
slowly leak out of the detergent drawer
during the pre-selection period, thicken
and lead to clogging. .
►
Place liquid detergent in a dosing ball
together with the laundry.
Add laundry detergent / Programme
with pre-rinsing before pre-washing
If the laundry is pre-rinsed before the
pre-wash cycle, fill the compartment
with laundry detergent for the pre-wash
cycle only after water dispensing for the
pre-rinse cycle.
Soap-based detergents
As soap cannot bind the lime contained in
the water, you should only use it with soft
or medium-hard water, together with a
separate water softener. (Without softener,
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).
12
Page 13
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 compartmentfor best washing in results.
Soaking agents
►
Choose the option Soak.
►
Add the soaking agents to compart-
ment of the detergent drawer.
►
If a programme with a pre-wash cycle
follows a soaking cycle, fill the com-
partment with laundry detergent
for the pre-wash cycle only after water
dispensing for the soaking cycle.
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.
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
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.
Proceeding: see Special programmes /
Sportswear / Impregnating.
Hot water supply
Notice
The max. permissible hot water
temperature is 70 °C.
For pre-wash, for programme temperature
up to 30 °C as well as for the programmes
«Delicates» and «Curtains», only cold
water is used.
For programme temperatures from 40 °C,
cold and warm water is mixed until the
programmed wash temperature is reached.
13
Page 14
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.
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.
Wash normally soiled laundry without a
prewash.
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.
Do not wash new coloureds with other
laundry due to the risk of discoloration!
Check that brassieres are machine
washable.
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
dam
age 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.
14
Page 15
►
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).
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.

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

time the water runs in into compart-
ment .
►

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

Page 48
Notice
Due to the lack of heating, disinfection
is not guaranteed if the heating variant
«Hot Water» (without heating) is used:
In this case, the disinfection programmes can only be used as non-disinfecting washing programmes.
►
Use the listed disinfectants.
►
Dose the disinfectant for a liquor ratio
of 1 : 5, based on the maximum laundry
load.
►
In the case of highly water-absorbing
laundry (e.g. terry cloth), increase the
quantity of the disinfectant to a liquor
ratio of 1 : 6, based on the maximum
laundry load.
►
If the absorbency behaviour deviates
strongly, the actual liquor ratio for the
laundry must be determined.
►
If disinfectant powder is used, this is to
be put in the compartment prior
to the start of the programme.
►
After a malfunction (e.g. in the event
of a power failure or excessive foaming) the disinfection programme
must be repeated using disinfectant.
If a large amount of rinsing water is
required, the actual total liquor ratio
must be determined and the disinfectant amount adjusted.
Wetclean
Wet cleaning process for gentle care
of high-quality, sensitive textiles. Even
heavily soiled laundry can be thoroughly
cleaned at low temperatures.

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.
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
Descalers contain acids, can attack
parts of the machine and cause discolouration of laundry.
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.
►
Switch off the power supply.
►
Screw off the supply hose at the tap.
►
Let the water run into a bowl.
►
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
Emptying the drain pump
