Degrees of dirt	Slight	dirt
	No recognizable dirt or staining. Laundry may have
	some	body odour.
	Normal		dirt
	Visible dirt and/or some light staining recognizable.
	Intensive		dirt
	Dirt and/or staining recognizable e.g. working clothes
	such as overalls or baker's and butcher's coats.
	Typical		stains

- Skin fat, cooking oils / fat, sauces, mineral oil, (containing fat / oil).

- Tea, coffee, red wine, fruit, vegetables (bleachable).

- Blood, egg, milk, starch (containing protein / carbohydrate).

- Soot, soil, sand (pigments), red sand on tennis

clothes.
Removing		stains
Wherever		possible, remove /	pretreat stains	whilst
they	are	still fresh.
First,	dab	soapy water onto	the stain. Do	not rub.

Subsequently wash the items of clothing using the appropriate programme.

Several washing cycles may sometimes be required order to remove stubborn / dried in stains.

	d Risk	of explosion!
Loading the laundryItems of		clothing that	have been	pretreated with
	solvent(based cleaning		agents, e.g. stain remover
	and dry	cleaning spirit,	represent	an explosion hazar

once loaded into the washing machine. Before loading the laundry, rinse thoroughly by hand.

Warning

Foreign objects in the drum may damage the laund Before loading the laundry, check that there is no debris in the drum.

q Open the washing machine door.

q Unfold the sorted items of clothing and place th loosely into the drum. Mix large and small items Laundry items which vary in size are more even distributed during the spin cycle.

i Do not exceed recommended loads. Overloading will cause poor wash results and encourage creasing.

q Close the washing machine door.

Take care not to trap any items of clothing between the loading door and rubber seal. When the emergency lock release has been actuated, the washing machine door can be opened and the washing taken out of the drum

Laundry!Detergents!and!Additives

Dispensing the correct amount of detergent

Adding detergent/ cleaning product

d Risk		of poisoning!
Keep	detergents			and additives out			of	the reach
of children.
Dispense		the	detergent		according		to:
q the water hardness. This information can be
obtained from				your	local	water	authority.
q the	amount		of	laundry.
q the	amount		of	soil.
q the	specifications of				the	detergent		manufacturer.

Dispensing the correct amount of detergent relieves the strain on the environment and ensure optimum washing results.

Pour liquid detergent into the appropriate dispensing chamber.

Too	little detergent:
The	laundry	is	not cleaned properly and will, after
a while, become			grey and stiff.
Greyish brown spots (fat globules) may					appear on
the laundry.		The	heaters may	calcify.
Too	much	detergent:
Environmentally			incompatible,	excessive	foam

reduces wash agitation causing poor washing and rinsing results.

Dispenser I

Detergent for prewash or starch.

Dispenser II

Detergent for main wash, water softener, pre'soaking agent, bleach and stain removal product.

Dispenser 2

Cleaning product, e.g. fabric softener or fabric conditioner (do not fill above the lower edge of the&insert 1).

i Concentrated or viscous fabric softener or fabric conditioner must be diluted with a little water before tt is poured into the dispenser (prevents the&overflow from becoming blocked).
