First Wash Cycle

Precautions and General Recommendations

1.Packing

•

The packaging materials are

100% recyclable and bear the

recycling symbol . Adhere

to local regulations when

disposing of packaging

material.

2.Energy saving tips

•

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” 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 program.

•

Save energy by using a 60° C

instead of a 90° C wash

programme or a 40° C in st ead

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).

3.Disposing of packaging

and old washing machines

•

The washing machine is built

from reusable materials. The

washing machine must be

disposed of in compliance with

current local waste disposal

regulations.

•

Before scrapping, cut off the

power cable so that the

washing machine cannot be

connected to the mains.

•

Remove detergent from

compartment if you intend

scrapping your washing

machine.

Detergents and Additives

Choice of the right

detergents and additives

The type of detergent depends

on:

•

type of fabric (cottons, easy

care/synthetics, delicate items,

wool).

Note:

use only specific

detergents for wool.

•

colour;

•

washing temperature;

•

degree and type of soiling.

Notes:

Whitish residues on dark fabrics

are caused by insoluble

detergent components used in

modern phosphate-free powder

detergents. If you notice this

problem, shake or brush the

affected items or use a liquid

detergent.

Keep detergents and additives in

a dry place and out of reach of

children.

Use only detergents and

additives specifically produced

for domestic washing machines.

If you use descaling agents, dyes

or bleaches, make sure they are

suitable for washing machine

use. Descaler could contain

components that can attack parts

of your washing machine.

Do not use solvents (turpentine,

benzine, etc.).

Do not machine wash fabrics that

have been treated with solvents

or flammable liquids.

Dosage

Follow the instructions on the

detergent pack in relation to:

•

the degree and type of soiling;

•

the size of the load;

full load: follow the

detergent manufacturer’s

instructions;

half load: 3/4 the amount

used for a full load;

minimum load (about 1 kg):

half 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.

Notes:

Too much detergent can result in

excess foam formation, and the

reduction of washing efficiency.

If the washing machine detects

excessive foam it may prevent

spinning.

Insufficient detergent may result

in:

grey laundry, deposits on the

drum, tub and heater.

When using concentrated fabric

softeners, add water in the

detergents dispenser up to

“MAX”

level mark.

To prevent dispensing problems

when using highly concentrated

powder and liquid detergents,

use the special detergent ball or

bag supplied with the detergent

and place it inside the drum.
