BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE
•
1.Removing the packaging and inspection
•
After unpacking, make sure that the washing
machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the
washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or
your local retailer.

Check that the accessories and supplied parts are all
present.

Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as
they are potentially dangerous.
•
If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to
delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few
hours before operating.
2.Remove the transport bolts
•
The washing machine is fitted with transport bolts
to avoid any possible damage to the interior during
transport. Before using the machine, it is imperative
that the transport bolts are removed.

Make sure that all four feet are stable and resting on
the floor and then check that the washing machine
is perfectly level (use a spirit level).

4.Saving tips
The water consumption of your washing machine is
optimized; in some programmes you therefore cannot
see the water through the door glass when the
machine is in operation.
•
Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and
time by using the recommended maximum load size.
•
Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated in
the manufacturer’s instructions.
•
The Eco-Ball - a special system in the outlet - will
prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid
detergent loss into the environment.
•
Use “Prewash” (if available on your model) for
heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time,
water and energy consumption by not selecting
“Prewash” for slightly to normally soiled laundry.
•
Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried-in
stains in water before washing to reduce the
necessity of a hot wash programme.
•
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
tumble dryer (for machines with adjustable spin speed).
5.EC Declaration of Conformity
•
The appliance conforms to the following European
Standards:

PREPARATION OF THE WASHING
1.Sort the laundry according to...

Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics,
wool, handwash items.
• Colour
Separate coloured and white items. 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 small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.)
and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a cloth bag or
pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings
or wash curtains with the rings 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.
To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
•
stains 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
Open the door.
1.
Load the articles one at a time loosely into the
2.
drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes
given in the quick reference guide (overloading
the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing
results and creased laundry).
Close the door.
3.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash
Keep detergents and additives in a safe,
dry place out of the reach of children!
The choice of detergent depends on:
Type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,
•
delicate items, wool).
Use only specific detergents for washing wool
and garments made of microfibres (like sports or
swimwear).
Colour.
•
The wash temperature.
•
Degree and type of soiling.
•
Remarks:
Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused
•
by insoluble compounds used in phosphate-free
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 prewash (if available on your model), 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 machine wash fabrics that have
been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
•
when having activated the “prewash” option (if
available on your model).
Do not use liquid detergent 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 amount used for a full load
water hardness in your area (ask for information
•
from your water company). Soft water requires
less detergent than hard water (refer to the water
hardness table in the operating instructions).
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 and also
calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.
