Advice and tips before washing
Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sort items according to:
• how soiled they are
• colour
• material
Clothing
1. Do up zips and close Velcro straps so that
they don’t harm fabrics.
2. New coloured items may contain excess dye
and should therefore be washed separately
the first few times.
3. Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces
the risk of burling and fading.
4. Empty pockets and wash them inside out if
possible.
Laundry labels
Look at the item's laundry label. The table below
shows suitable wash programmes for different
materials and wash loads. Using modern
washing machines and detergents, for example
compact detergents, you can usually wash at
lower temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial
and error to find out what produces the best
results.
Laundry label symbols
Examples of washing instructions and recommended programs. Always follow the washing instructions
for each garment.
Laundry labels Material Program
Cotton, linen, white and light-coloured items. Everyday wash 60 °C to 90 °C
Cotton, linen, cotton/polyester. Light and dark-coloured garments. Quick 60 °C
Acrylic, viscose, modal, acetate, polyester, polyamide and
elastane. Light and dark-coloured garments.
Easy Care 40 °C
or
Wool, silk and other very delicate garments Wool/hand wash 30 °C to 40 °C
Hot water connection
Hot water intake has a positive effect on grease
stains and certain pigment stains, such as oil,
soot and coffee. Note however that difficult
protein stains with albumen content (blood,
milk, meat and fish) first need to be soaked in
cold water as they are difficult to dissolve at
temperatures above 40°C. For the best washing
results we recommend the Super wash option
and pre-soaking the stained items in cold water
before washing them in the machine.
Coloured cotton
Coloured cotton items with the washing
instruction 60°C should be washed at 60°C for
the first time in order to remove any excess dye.
If you do not do so, there is a risk that the colour
will run. Use detergent without bleach in order to
preserve the colour of the fabric.

10
Advice and tips before washing
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at
60 °C, using detergent containing no bleach
or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen can
occasionally be washed at higher temperatures,
but not too often because the heat can destroy
the linen’s shine and strength.
Wool
These fabrics are labelled either machine wash
or hand wash. The Wool/hand wash program is
at least as gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is especially sensitive to processes such
as washing. If you do not wish to spin dry, you
can squeeze out the water using terry towels.
In this case select No spin. To find out how to
choose this setting, see the "Washing" chapter.
However, most garments can withstand a short
spin. Choose a short spin by selecting a spin
speed of 800 rpm or less.
Rayon fibres and synthetic fibres
Materials made of rayon fibres, such as viscose,
and some synthetic fibres are very delicate and
require much space so as not to crease. Only
half fill the drum when washing and choose a
spin speed of 800 rpm or lower.
NOTE!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
Reducing allergic reactions
The washing machine has a Super Rinse
option. Use this for people with sensitive skin,
such as those with allergies and small children.
Save time and energy
Use the Everyday wash program to save time
and energy. This program has a shorter main
wash than Normal, but is often sufficient for
lightly soiled washing.
High water level
If you want more water for the main wash and
rinses, you can use the High water level option.
This is automatically selected in the Wool/Hand
program.
Economy and efficiency
You can save energy by not using higher
temperature programs than necessary.
• Select Quick if you just need to freshen up
shirts or exercise clothes, for example. This
will save both water and energy.
• If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces
energy consumption when drying in a tumble
dryer or drying cabinet.
• Always wash with a full load when using
the Heavy, Everyday wash and Normal
programs.
• Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and
detergents clean effectively without pre-
washing. Pre-washing is only necessary for
heavily soiled washing.
Detergents
Eco-labelled detergents are less harmful to the
environment.
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment; can also hinder the
wash performance.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only if
you are not satisfied with the results.

11
Dyeing fabrics
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select
the Everyday wash program with the Super
Rinse option. Select temperature according to
the dye manufacturer’s recommendations.
Choose a low spin speed if the fabric to be dyed
is a blended material such as polyester/cotton.
NOTE!
Add the dye directly to the washing drum – not
to the detergent compartment. After dyeing, you
should run the machine empty using the same
program. Use the normal amount of detergent.
NOTE!
Due to environmental concerns, we discourage
the use of strong chemicals. When using agents
for bleaching or stain removal, there is a risk
of rust (corrosion) and discolouration of the
machine.
Advice and tips before washing

12
Washing
1Sort your laundry.
See the "Advice and tips before washing"
chapter.
Place underwired bras in a laundry net.
Empty pockets. Coins, nails and the like can
cause damage to the machine and fabrics. See
the "Advice and Tips" section before washing.
2Turn on the main power
switch
3Open the washer door and
load the washing
If the washer door is closed, press the
Door opening button (key symbol). The door
opens once all water has drained from the
machine. Load the washing. The wash program
chart shows how much washing can be washed
with each program.
4Add detergent and fabric
softener, as required
The detergent packaging will have
recommendations for how much detergent you
should use.The machine holds 7 kg of washing.
If you only have a small amount of laundry in
the machine, you can reduce the amount of
detergent used.
Powder detergent
Pour the powder into the compartment for the
main wash, and pre-wash as well if desired.
Liquid detergent
When using a liquid detergent, observe the
detergent manufacturer's recommendations.
We recommend using a laundry ball with thick
detergents. In the main detergent compartment,
use the section wall (A) – see figure in the
section Dispenser. Add the detergent into the
front compartment of the detergent dispenser.
Wash ball or net
If you use a wash ball or net, place it directly
in the drum and select a program without pre-
wash.
NOTE!
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment; can also hinder the
wash performance.
Try using less detergent, and increase only if
you are not satisfied with the results.
Fabric softener
Pour the fabric softener into the
compartment with the symbol. Follow
the recommendations on the fabric softener
packaging.
NOTE!
Do not fill above the compartment’s maximum
fill level. Otherwise fabric softener will run in too
early, and will impair washing results.

Consumption data may vary from the given values depending on variations in water pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature, room
temperature, fluctuations in the electricity, type and volume of the laundry and any extra options.
Adjustment of the displayed washing
time
Advanced technology allows the appliance
to sense the amount of laundry and add the
required amount of water during the washing
process. Depending on the washing load,
washing time can be longer or shorter and the
time displayed will be adjusted accordingly.
Moreover, displayed washing time may change
due to differences in inlet water temperature.
At low inlet water temperatures, washing time
can be longer; at higher temperatures, it can be
shorter.
Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of
laundry in the washing machine drum can cause
problems such as vibration and noisy operation.
The appliance can sense such lumps and will
try to redistribute the laundry. Smaller loads
(e.g. one towel, one sweater, one bathrobe
etc.) or clothes made of materials with special
geometrical properties are virtually impossible
to distribute evenly across the washing machine
drum (slippers, large items etc.). This results
in several attempts to redistribute the laundry,
which in turn leads to longer program duration.

The washing machine has a trap where smaller
objects such as coins and hairpins can collect.
To clean the trap and the drainage pump, do as
follows:

and switched offat the mains.
2. Open the door.
3. Unhook the drainage hose from the
connector inside the door and drain the water
into a suitable container, such as a shallow
bowl.
4. Turn the cover anti-clockwise to open the
pump. Remove the cover.
5. Remove any items and so forth from the
pump housing and the cover. Also check that
the pump blades right at the back rotate.
6. Screw on the cover, replace the drainage
hose on the hatch pin and close the hatch.
Cleaning the detergent
compartment
Pull out the detergent compartment using the
release button.
Rinse the compartment and scrub it clean. The
cover in the fabric softener compartment can be
removed.
NOTE!
Do not run the detergent compartment through
a dishwasher!
Cleaning the outside of the
machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the
program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not
use any solvents, as these can damage the
machine.
NOTE!
Do not hose down the machine with water!
Cleaning the inside of the machine
to avoid unpleasant smells
Modern detergents often allow clothes to be
washed at low temperatures. This means that
small deposits can build up in the machine.
These, in turn, may lead to unpleasant smells
developing.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 90 °C
wash programme once a month. When you do
this, use a small quantity of detergent. It is not
necessary to put any washing in the machine.
