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
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
wash loads. Using modern washing machines and
detergents, for example compact detergents, you can
usually wash at lower temperatures. It is a good idea
results.
COLOURED COTTON
Coloured cotton garments labelled with washing
instruction 60°C must be washed at 60 °C initially to
remove any excess dye. Failure to observe this advice
could lead to the colour running. Use detergent without
bleach to preserve the colour of the fabric.
UNBLEACHED LINEN
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 60 °C,
using detergent without bleach or optical brighteners.
Heavily soiled linen can be washed at higher
temperatures, but not too often as the heat may destroy
the sheen and strength of the linen.
WOOL
These fabrics are labelled for either machine wash or
for hand wash. The machine’s Wool/hand wash, 30 °C
programme is at least as gentle as washing by hand.
RAYON FIBRES AND SYNTHETIC
FIBRES
washing and choose a spin speed of 800 rpm or lower.
NOTE!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
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
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.

The quantity of detergent needed depends, amongst
other things, on how hard the water is. See the detergent
pack for details. Phone your local water company to
check the water hardness in your area.
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. Do not use the separator
in the main detergent compartment.
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). 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

Pour the fabric softener into the compartment with the
symbol. Follow the recommendations on the fabric
softener packaging.

CARE AND CLEANING
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
Run a programme at 90 °C or 95 °C (depending on the
model) with a small amount of detergent once a month to
avoid problems with odours. It is not necessary to put any
washing in the machine.
RINSE HOLES UNDER THE AGITATOR
If you suspect that objects such as nails or paper clips
may have fallen into the wash drum, you should check
the space under the agitator. Such objects can rust and
leave marks on clothing. Nails and other sharp objects
can cause holes in fabrics.
Do as follows:
1 Insert a screwdriver or the like into the hole on the
agitator as illustrated and carefully pry to the left.
2 Use your other hand to grasp the agitator and pull it
towards you.
3 Lift the agitator.
4 Remove any objects.
5 Place the agitator in the mounting hole with the
F-mark towards you. Ensure that all the agitator
fasteners are in their holes in the drum. Push it in until
it catches.
IF YOU HAVE HARD WATER
If you live in an area with hard water (high limescale
content), a greyish-white coating may form on the washer
drum. To remove this, empty a sachet of citric acid,
approx. 20 gram, into the washer drum and run any 90 °C
programme. Repeat if necessary.
