Coloured cotton
Coloured cotton items with the washing
instruction 60 °C should be washed at 60 °C for
the rst 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.
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.
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 rst 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 dierent
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 nd out what produces the best
results.
Laundry label symbols
Examples of washing instructions and recommended programmes. 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 30 °C to 40 °C

10
Wool
These fabrics are labelled either machine wash
or hand wash. The Wool programme 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 nd 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 bres and synthetic bres
Materials made of rayon bres, such as viscose,
and some synthetic bres are very delicate and
require much space so as not to crease. Only
half ll the drum when washing and choose a
spin speed of 800 rpm or lower.
NOTE!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
Stain removal
The automatic stain programme can be used
for the following types of stains: Chocolate,
Blood, Red wine, Egg, Grass, Diary products,
Tea/Coee, Fat stains grease/oil and Blueberry.
The programme is suitable for cotton, cotton/
synthetics and synthetics.
NOTE!
For stain removal it is always important to treat
the stain as soon as possible. Leaving a stain
and allowing it to dry makes it more dicult to
remove.
It is also important to carefully scrape o any of
the stain lying on the surface. Do not load the
machine with more than 2,5 kg of laundry.
Advice and tips before washing
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 programme to save
time and energy. This programme has a shorter
main wash than Standard cotton 40
°C 60 °C , but is
often sucient 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.
High water level is used automatically in the
Wool/Hand programme.
Economy and eciency
You can save a lot of 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 Standard cotton
40 °C 60 °C programmes.
• Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and
detergents clean eectively 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.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only if
you are not satised with the results.

11
Advice and tips before washing
Dyeing fabrics
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select
the Everyday wash programme 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.

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
programme chart shows how much washing
can be washed with each programme.
4Add detergent and fabric
softener, as required
The detergent packaging will have
recommendations for how much detergent you
should use. The machine holds 8 kg of washing.
If you only have a small amount of laundry in
the machine, you can reduce the amount of
detergent used.
Follow the manufacturers' recommendations as
regards which type of detergent is suitable for
which temperature.
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 gure 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 programme without pre-
wash.
NOTE!
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment.
Try using less detergent, and increase only if
you are not satised 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 ll above the compartment’s maximum
ll level. Otherwise fabric softener will run in too
early, which impairs the washing eect.

** Half load
1) Short programme for test institutes, max. 1/2 load.
2) Test programme for cold water connection in accordance with EN 60456. For large volumes of detergent we recommend removing the
insert and adding detergent directly to the detergent compartment.
3) 40 °C programme for test institutes. The 40 °C option must be selected.
The above table presents a few examples of the energy, water and time consumption of a few dierent programme settings.
Consumption can vary depending on water pressure, water hardness, water supply temperature, room temperature, load weight and
content, variations in the power supply and selected options. In the examples provided here the rinse setting is set to Normal and no
options are selected.
If you use large amounts of detergent, such as non-compact powder, and nd that the amount you want to use does not t in the
compartment, you can remove the insert and dose directly in the compartment. We recommend that all test institutes remove the
insert for large volumes of detergent.
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 dierences 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.
