How to use the washing machine
To remove any res i dua l water used in testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that you ca r r y out a short wash cycl e without laundry.
Open the tap. Clo s e the door. Pour a small amount of detergent (about 3 0 ml) into the detergent dispenser.
Select a short wash programme (see programme chart). Press the “Start/On Off ” button (depends on model).
Sort the laundry Sort the laundry according to:
Fabric type / care label symbol
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, ha ndwashed items.
Colours
Separate coloured an d white articles. Wash new coloured articles separately.
Size
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribution in the drum.
Delicates
Wash delicates separately: Use a special programme for Wool , curtains and other delicates. Always remove
curtain glides or wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton bag. Use the special program for handwash fabrics.
Wash small articles (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.) and articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special cotton bags for
washing machines or in zipped pillow cases.

or chlorine bleach in compartment (depending on model). Particularly stubborn stains can be treated
with stain remover before the wash.
Dyeing and Bleaching
Commercially available products us ually co nsist of a dye colour, fixing a gent an d sa lt. Pour the dye colour, the
fixing agent and then the salt directly into the empty drum. Load the laundry only afterwards. Use exclusively
dyes and bleaches recommended for washing machines. Follow the Manu facturer’s instructions. Plastic a nd
rubber components of the machine can be stained by dyes. Make sure that all zips are closed and pockets are
empty. Make sure there are no cigarette lighters among the items. Turn the items of clothing inside o ut.

For optimal washing results, plac e items loosely into the washing mac hine . C lose the door.
The type of detergent depends on:
The type of fabric (cottons, synthetics, delicates, wool - when washing woollens remember to use a detergent
suitable for woollens), the colour, the washing temperature, the degre e and type of soiling.

Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. For the water hardness in your area, you can
request information from the water company. Soft water requires less detergent than hard water (refer to the
water hardness table in the operating instructions).
