5 BEFORE THE FIRST WASH CYCLE
6 PREPARATION OF THE WASHING
6.1 Sort the laundry

By loading
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and
distribution in the drum.
By delicates
Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.) and items with hooks (e.g. bras)
inacloth bag or pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings or wash curtains
with the rings inside a cotton bag.
a. Empty all pockets
Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry as well as the appliance drum
and tub.
b. Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be
tied together.
c. 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.
d. Dyeing
e. Loading the laundry
Only use dyes that are suitable for washing machines.
Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.
Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine can be stained by dyes.
Open the door.
Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling.
Observe the load sizes given in the “Programme table”.
Note: Overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results
and creased laundry.
Close the door.
14
6.2 Preparing laundry for washing

Always use high efficiency, low foam detergent for a front load machine.
The choice of detergent depends on:
Type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool)
Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool.
Colour
The wash temperature
Degree and type of soiling
Remarks:
Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used
in modern 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 pre-wash, 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.
Dosage
Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:
Degree and type of soiling
Size of wash
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for a full load;
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.
Notes:
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 in time and also calcifies the
heating system, drum and hoses.
15
6.3 Detergents and additives

Where to put detergent and additives
The detergent drawer has three chambers (fig. “A”)
Prewash chamber
Detergent for prewash
Mainwash chamber
Detergent for main wash
Stain remover
Water softener (water hardness class 4)
Softener chamber
Fabric softener
Liquid starch
Pour additives only up to the “Max” mark.
How to position the separator in the main wash
chamber for powder or liquid detergent
For use with powder detergent: Place the separator in
the higher position. Lift the separator until its top can be
reclined. Place its hooks on the upper end of the back
guide rails and slightly push the separator down to fix it
(fig. “B” and “C”).
A gap should remain between the separator and the
bottom of the main wash chamber. If the separator
has been correctly installed (fig. “B” and “C”).
For use with liquid detergent: place the separator in
the lower position. Secure the separator in the
chamber using the front guide rails. Position the
separator so that it touches the bottom of the main
wash chamber (fig.“D”).
16

Notes:
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry
place out of the reach of childre.
Liquid detergents can be used for programmes
with prewash. However, in this case a powder
detergent must be used for the main wash.
Do not use liquid detergents when activating the “Delay End” functioin (if
available on your washing machine).
To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder
and liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag supplied with
the detergent and palce it directly inside the drum.
When using descaling agents, bleaches or dyes, make sure that they are
suitable for washing machines. Descalers could contain compounds that
can damage parts of your washing machine.
Do not use any solvents in the washing machine (e.g. turpentine,benzine).
If you use starch powder, proceed as follows:
1. Wash your laundry using the desired wash programme.
2. Prepare the starch solution according to the starch manufacturer’s
3. Select the “Rinse + Spin” programme, reduce the speed to 800 rpm and
instructions.
start the programme.
4. Pull out the detergent drawer until you can see about 3 cm of the main
wash chamber .
5. Pour the starch solution into the main wash chamber while the water is
running into the detergent drawer.
6. If there are starch residues in the detergent drawer when the programme
has finished, clean the main wash chamber.
