Description of the washing machine

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 programmes. Always follow the washing instructions
for each garment.

Advice and tips before washing

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.
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 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 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 programme to save time
and energy. This programme has a shorter main
wash than Standard cotton, 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.
High water level is used automatically in the
Wool/Hand programme.
Economy and efficiency
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
programmes.
• Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and
detergents clean effectively without
pre-washing. Pre-washing is only necessary
for heavily soiled washing.

Advice and tips before 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 satisfied with the results.
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.

Advice and tips before 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 liquid detergent, follow the detergent
manufacturer’s recommendations. We
recommend always using a wash ball with very
thick liquid detergent.
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 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, which impairs the washing effect.

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 different 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 find that the amount you want to use does not fit 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.
