Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with standard IEC/EN 60 456. In domestic use, consumptio
may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash.
The time indicated on the display (if present) can deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the hous

For washer/dryer models
•
Do NOT dry items that have been washed or
treated with chemical stain removers, cooking
oil, petroleum, acetone, alcohol, petrol, paraffin,
white spirit, wax.
Remove these substances by means of a hot wash
with abundant detergent before drying.
•
Do NOT dry items made from foam rubber,
latex, raincoats, waterproof fabrics, rubber
airbeds, printed objects, clothes or pillows filled
with foam rubber. These materials could melt
and damage other items in the wash or damage
the appliance.
4.Advice on saving energy
•
To achieve the best use of energy, water,
detergent and time use the recommended
maximum load size.
•
Do not exceed the recommended dosages on
the detergent packet.
•
The Eco Flap - a special system in the outlet prevents detergent loss from the drum to avoid
detergent loss into the environment.
•
Use the “Pre-wash” programme for heavily
soiled laundry only. Use a programme with no
“Pre-wash” cycle for slightly or normally soiled
items; You save on water, energy and time as a
result.
•
Before using the washing machine, treat laundry
with a stain remover or soak dry stained items in
water so as to avoid having to use high
temperature wash programmes.
•
Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 95° C
wash programme or a 40° C instead of a 60° C
wash programme.
•
Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry
before using a drying programme (for machines
with adjustable spin speed).

door. Close the door by pressing it without excessive force until it clicks shut.
BEFORE THE FIRST WASH CYCLE
To remove any residual water used in testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that you carry out a
short wash cycle without laundry.
1.
Turn on the water supply tap.
2.
Close the door.
3.
Pour a little detergent (about 30 ml) into the main wash chamber of the detergent dispenser.
4.
Select and start a short programme (see separate “Programme Chart”).
Separate coloured and white items. Wash new
coloured items separately.
•Loading
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to
improve washing efficiency and distribution in the
drum.
• Delicates
Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.)
and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a washbag or
pillow case with a zip fastener. Always remove
curtain glides or wash curtains with the glides
inside a cotton bag.
2.Empty all pockets
Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry
as well as the appliance drum and tub.
3.Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose
belts or ribbons should be tied together.
Stain removal
•
Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by
the automatic enzyme phase of the programme.
•
For stains made by red wine, coffee, tea, grass,
fruit etc. add a stain remover to the main wash
chamber of the detergent dispenser.
•
Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover
if necessary.
Dyeing and bleaching
•
Only use dyes and bleaches that are suitable for
washing machines.
•
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine
can be stained by dyes or bleaches.
LOADING THE LAUNDRY
1.
Open the door.
2.
Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in the
drum. Observe the load sizes given in the quick
reference guide.
Note:
Overloading the machine reduces the
wash efficiency and encourages creasing.
3.
Close the door.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
Keep detergents and additives in a dry
place out of the reach of children.
The type of detergent depends on:
•
type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
delicate items, wool).
Note:
•
•
•
Remarks:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use only specific detergents for wool.
Colour.
washing temperature.
Degree and type of soiling.
Whitish residues on dark fabrics are due to the
insoluble water softeners in modern phosphatefree detergents. If you notice this problem, shake
or brush the affected items or use a liquid
detergent.
Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines.
When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches
for the pre-wash, make sure that they are
suitable for use in domestic washing machines.
Descalers could contain products which could
damage your washing machine.
Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine,
benzine). Do not wash fabrics in the machine
which have been treated with solvents or
flammable liquids.
Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash
when having activated the “prewash” option (if
available on your model).
Do not use liquid detergents when activating the
“Start Delay” function (if available on your
washing machine).
Dosage
Follow the dosage recommendations on the
detergent pack. They depend on:
•
Degree and type of soiling
•
size of wash full load: follow the detergent
manufacturer’s instructions;
half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;
minimum load (about 1 kg):
1/2 the dose recommended for a full load
•
water hardness in your area (request information
from the water company). Soft water requires
less detergent than hard water (refer to the
water hardness table in the operating
instructions).
Note:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation, which reduces washing efficiency.
If the washing machine detects too much foam, it
may prevent spinning. Insufficient detergent may
result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the
heating system, drum and hoses.
