Safety Instructions

Protection of the environment/Hints and tips

Your washing machine uses water, energy
and detergent efficiently.This protects our
environment and reduces your household
costs.
To use your washing machine in an
efficient and environmentally friendly
manner:

•

Do not exceed maximum load.
Cottons and coloureds 5.0 kg
Easy-Care 2.5 kg
Delicates/Silk 1.0 kg
Woollens 1.5 kg

With smaller amounts of laundry, the load
adjust reduces the water and energy
consumption.

•

Where possible, use the ”60°C” +
”Intensive Stains” programme instead of
the ”Cottons+Linens 90°C

” programme.

The extended washing time of this 60°C
programme achieves a cleaning result
comparable to that of the 90°C
programme, but uses considerably less
energy.

•

Do not use Prewash* for lightly to
normally soiled washing.

•

Add detergent according to the degree
of soiling, amount of laundry and water
hardness, and observe the detergent
manufacturer's instructions.

* Depending upon the model.

Before the first washing - wash once without laundry articles

Before you wash laundry for the first time, we suggest running the ”COTTONS 90° without
Prewash” wash cycle without laundry and with 1/2 measuring cup of detergent. In this
way, any water left over from testing the machine will be removed.

The dots indicate the drying levels of the tumbler (laundry dryer).

The letters are for dry cleaning. They provide information in regards to solvents.
The line below the circle indicates that a reduction of mechanical action, humidity and temperature is
required during cleaning.

The dots indicate the temperature ranges of the automatically controlled iron.

The values in the washtub correspond to the maximum water temperatures that are not to be exceeded.
A line below the washtub indicates gentle (mechanical) handling (for example, washing with slow
rhythmn). It denotes wash cycles that are suitable, for example, for Easy-Care and delicate articles.

Treating stubborn stains



USING STAIN REMOVERS:
To avoid the danger of a fire or explosion:

(*) When using the solutions mentioned above, rinse the articles thoroughly before

putting them into the washing machine.

- Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions when using common stain removers.

Perspiration, blood, fruit, wine and chocolate stains are generally removed by using detergents
with biologically active ingredients. Other stains however require special treatment before washing.
First test on an inconspicuous area of the article and then rinse thoroughly. When applying
stain remover, always start from the outside to avoid forming a border.



After stained fabrics have been washed and then dried in the dryer or ironed, the stains
can no longer be removed.

GRASS: Dab the stain with clear vinegar or 90
percent alcohol* (if the material permits), rinse
out and wash.

BALL-POINT PEN - FELT TIP: Dab the stain
with paper towels to absorb as much ink as
possible. Put a white, clean cloth under the
stain and then dab it with another cloth. For
synthetics, the second cloth should be
moistened with clear vinegar, for other fibres
with 90 percent alcohol* (in so far as the
material allows).

RUST: Sprinkle light stains with salt. Sprinkle
the salt with lemon juice and let work overnight.
Next day, rinse thoroughly and wash. For larger
stains, use a special rust remover, paying
especial attention to the manufacturer´s
instructions.

CHEWING GUM: Cool down with an ice cube.
As soon as it is hard enough, remove using
your fingernails. Remove the border that
remains using a grease remover*.

AUTOMOBILE GREASE - TAR: Use a stain
remover*. If none is available, smear the stain
with some fresh butter, let work and then dab
with oil of turpentine*.

PAINT: Do not allow paint stains to dry;
immediately treat with the solvent indicated on the
paint can (water, turpentine*, light petrol*) . Soap
and rinse out.

CANDLE WAX: Scrape off most of the stain.
Finally, put paper towels on both sides of the
item and melt the remaining wax using an iron.

MAKE-UP: Lay the side of the material with the
stain on a piece of paper towel and moisten the
other side of the article with 90 percent alcohol
* insofar as the item permits and the stain is
not greasy. Otherwise, use a grease solvent
(e.g. trichloroethylene*).

COFFEE - TEA:

-

on white cottons: dab the stain with hydrogen
peroxide* and afterwards wash as usual.

-

on coloured cottons: dab the stain with
a vinegar solution (2 tablespoons of clear
vinegar in ¼ litre of water) and afterwards
wash as usual.

-

on woollens: dab the stain with a mixture of
equal parts of alcohol* and clear vinegar and
afterwards wash the article.

CHOCOLATE - FRUIT - FRUIT JUICE - WINE:
Dab the stain with a vinegar solution
(2 tablespoons of clear vinegar in ¼ litre of
water). Rinse thoroughly and wash as usual.

GREASE: Immediately sprinkle talcum powder
on the material. Let dry and gently brush off the
talcum powder. Then dab with a grease solvent,
such as gasoline*. Rinse out and wash as usual

BLOOD: Immerse the stained item in cold salt
water as quickly as possible; afterwards wash
as usual.

KETCHUP - TOMATO SAUCE: Prepare
a solution of equal parts glycerine and warm
water. Soak the item for an hour and afterwards
wash as usual.

To prepare the laundry



Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paperclips,
needles, nails) may damage laundry
items or washing machine components
(the drum for example).

• Empty the pockets of the laundry items.

• Brush sand out of pockets and
cuffs/turn-ups.

• Close zips, fasten pillow cases/cushion
covers.

• Remove curtain runners or tie up in
a net/bag.

• In a net/cushion cover, wash:

- delicates e.g. pantyhose, curtains

- small laundry items, e.g. socks or
handkerchiefs

- underwired bras (underwires may
become detached during washing and
cause damage).

• Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles,
e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts or
sweatshirts, should be turned inside out.

13

Loading the wash



Danger of explosion!

If laundry treated with cleaning agents
containing solvents, e.g. stain removers,
benzene, is loaded into the washing
machine, an explosion may
result.Thoroughly rinse out laundry items in
advance by hand.

Safety features

Lid opening safeguards:

After the programme starts, the appliance
lid is locked.

After the programme ends or during
”Rinse Stop”, the lid is unlocked.
Depending upon the model, if a ”Delayed
Start” was programmed, the lid remains
unlocked during the entire waiting period
before the start of the programme.

If the lid is to be opened during the
programme, quickly push the
”Start/Pause”

- button and wait

approximately 1 to 2 minutes until the lid
safety unlocks.



remains locked until the wash water has
cooled down somewhat.

Water safeguards:

During operation, the constant water level
control prevents possible overflows.

Spin safeguards:

The washing machine is equipped with
a safety feature that can reduce the spin
speed if imbalanced loading occurs.
In this case, the laundry may be
insufficiently spun dry. Evenly distribute
the laundry in the drum and programme
a new spin cycle..

Safeguards against excess
foaming:

Too much foam may be produced in your
washing machine during spinning.

In this case, the spinning is stopped and
the machine is drained.

The programme continues. The spin
speed is adjusted and an additional rinse
cycle is performed.
