5. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, col-
oured, synthetics, delicates and
wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that
are on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and
coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the fi rst wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for
the fi rst times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zip-
pers, hooks and poppers. Tie up
belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,
wool and items with painted illustra-
tions.
• Pretreat hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent
heavy soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Re-
move the hooks or put the curtains
in a washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance laun-
dry without hems or with cuts. Use
a washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras,
belts, tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause bal-
ance problems with the spin phase.
If this occurs, adjust manually the
items in the tub and start the spin
phase again.
5.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent
is not suffi cient.
We recommend that you pretreat
these stains before you put the items
in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that
is applicable to the type of stain and
fabric.
5.3 Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing ma-
chines:
– powder detergents for all types
of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate
fabrics (40°C max) and wool-
lens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for
low temperature wash pro-
