CHILD SAFETY (IF AVAILABLE)
To secure the appliance against improper use turn the
plastic screw on the interior of the door. To do this, use
the thick rounded corner of the coloured insert from the
detergent dispenser or a coin:
•
Slot vertical: the door will not lock
•
Slot horizontal: the door can be locked again
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 tap.
2.
Close the door.
3.
Pour a little detergent (about 30 ml) into the detergent compartment .
4.
Select and start a short programme (see quick reference guide).
Separate coloured and white items. Wash new
coloured articles separately
•Size
Laundry items of different sizes distribute
themselves better in the drum and optimise the
washing and spinning action
• 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 the laundry,
drum and tub.
3.Closures
Close zips and hooks and eyes; Tie loose belts or
straps together.
Stain removal
•
Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by
the automatic enzyme phase of the programme
•
To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
stains etc. add a stain remover to the detergent
dispenser chamber
•
Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover
if necessary
Dyeing
•
Only use dyes that are suitable for washing machines
•
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine
can be stained by dyes
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 will result in
unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.
3.
Close the door.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
The choice of detergent depends on:
•
type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
delicate items, wool).
Note:
Use only specific detergents for washing
wool
•
colour
•
the wash temperature
•
degree and type of soiling
Remarks:
Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by
insoluble compounds used in modern phosphatefree powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or
brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents.
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. Descaler could
contain components which can attack parts of 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.
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 amount used 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 water
hardness table)
Notes:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam
formation.
The cleaning effect deteriorates.
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.
