Detergents and fabric-care additives
Fig. 11 , 12
You can use detergent which is suitable for
front loading automatic washing machines.
! Never use detergents for impeller type as
these produce too much foam.
! Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in
fully automatic washing machines. Explo sion hazard.
! Do not use any detergent boosters contai ning solvents or dirt and stain-removing
sprays near the machine, as these could
damage the machine.
! Always store detergents and other garment care products out of children s reach.
,
Amount of detergent
The best washing results will only be achieved
if you add the correct amount of detergent.
Observe the instructions for use shown on the
detergent packaging.
If a liquid detergent is used, take the relative
dosing device. Do not fill the detergent dispenser
beyond the MAX mark.
You can also use any measuring aids provided
with the detergents, such as dosage balls or
bags.
The amount of detergent depends on:
- water hardness
- degree of soiling
- size of the load
- amount of detergent to be added according
to its manufacturer.
Attention: When the prewash mode is selected,
do not put the liquid lotion or other liquid materials
into the compartment II, to prevent it from flowing
out immediately.
Frequent use of insufficient detergent will eventually become noticeable as follows:
- washing appears grey or not properly clean
- grey-brown stains (grease marks) appear on
the washing
- the heating elements become furred.
Too much detergent results in:
- unnecessarily high environmental pollution,
- as too much foam is produced, you will get
poor washing results.
The amount of detergent indicated on its
packaging refers to a full machine load.
For smaller loads or less soiled laundry, reduce
the amount of detergent.
Notes
Fabric softeners and conditioners
Put these into the compartment. Do not fill
beyond the MAX mark otherwise it will flow into
the machine together with the detergent at the
start of the programme. Dilute thick conditioner
with a little water (make sure to dissolve all lumps)
before pouring it into the compartment.
Bleaching agents and stain removers
In addition, certain powdered bleaching agents
and stain removers may be used on stained
fabrics.
First put the detergent and then the bleaching
powder or stain remover into compartment II.

Practical tips
Remove any loose items or metal objects,
such as safety pins, paper clips, etc. from
the laundry.
Brush sand, coins etc. out of pockets and
cuffs.
Close zips and button up cushion covers,
duvet covers, etc.
Remove curtain runners, or secure them in a
net bag.
Particularly delicate items, such as tights or
lace curtains, or smaller items, such as tiny
socks or handkerchiefs, should only be washed in a net bay or pillow case.
Some items are best turned inside out.
These include knitwear, trousers, T-shirts
and sweatshirts.
Make sure that wire-cup bras are machinewashable.
! Wash wire-cup bras in a pillow case which
can be securely closed with a zip or buttons.
If the wire works itself out of the cup it may
fall through the holes of the drum and cause
extensive damage.
Select a programme that starts with the prewash function to remove protein stains from
the washing.
Stain removal
If possible, stains should be removed immediately while they are still fresh, or at least pretreated.
Try soap and water first of all. Dab the material
rather than rub it.
Stubborn, dried-in stains may require several
washes before they disappear completely.

Preparing laundry for drying
Sort the laundry according to the symbols
on the fabric care labels.
Only put items in the machine which are labelled as suitable for tumble-drying or bear the
following care symbols:
= tumble-dry at normal heat setting
= tumble-dry at low heat setting
(gentle drying)
! The following textiles should not be tumble dried:
- Fabrics marked with the care symbol
= do not tumble-dry
- Woollens or items containing wool.
Risk of shrinking!
- Delicate fabric (silk, synthetic net curtains).
Risk of creasing!
- Items containing foam rubber or similar
material.
- Items which have been treated with inflam mable solvents, such as stain removes, pe trol, paint thinners. Explosion hazard!
- Items still containing hair lacquer or similar
substances. Dangerous vapours!
- Dripping-wet laundry. Waste of energy!
Do not exceed the machine s maximum
capacity when sorting the laundry. Do not
overload the washer/dryer.
Maximum drying loads:
Cottons + Linens 2.5 kg
Easy-care
Economy tip:
Always wash a full load of cottons+linens
(5.0kg). You can then divide up the load for
tumble-drying.
,
1.5 kg
Practical tips
Only tumble-dry textiles which have been
washed, rinsed and spun.
Remove as much water as possible from
the laundry. Do not press the button for
reducing the spin speed.
Before tumble-drying, easy-care items
should also be spun using the appropriate
spin programme (see programme table).
In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the
items according to fabric type and degree
of drying required.
Easy-care items should if possible be removed from the machine while still slightly
damp and allowed to continue drying in the
open air. Over-drying may cause excessive
creasing.
Items which require ironing do not have to
be ironed immediately after they have been
tumble-dried. It is a good idea to fold or roll
them together for a while, so that any remaining moisture is evenly distributed.
