Preparing the washing cycle Sorting out and preparing washing • Sort out washing according to the type and care symbol (see "Types of washing and care symbols"). • Empty the pockets. • Remove any metal parts (paper clips, safety pins etc.). • To prevent washing from getting damaged and forming bundles: close zips, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, tie up loose straps such as from aprons. • Turn clothes made from double layer fabric inside out (e.g. anoraks, sleeping bags).
Preparing the washing cycle Cottons I Fabrics made of cotton and linen with this care symbol are not sensitive towards mechanical strain and high temperatures. The COTTONS/LINEN program is suitable for this type of washing. Linens G C Fabrics made of cotton and linen with this care symbol are not sensitive towards mechanical strain. The COTTONS/LINEN program is suitable for this type of washing.
Preparing the washing cycle How much washing powder and fabric softener? The amount to be used depends on • the load: If the washing powder producer does not make any specifications for small loads, use a third less for half loads, and for very small loads only use half of the amount of washing powder recommended for a full load. • the degree of soiling of the washing: For only slightly soiled washing use less washing powder. Follow the instructions of the washing powder producer and load.

What to do when… 3 The somewhat different, in comparison to older washing machines, whistling noise during spinning is due to the modern drive system. Trouble Shooting In the case of a malfunction try to solve the problem with the aid of the notes given here. If you call in customer service to resolve one of the malfunctions listed here, or an error in operating the machine, the customer service engineer’s visit is not cost free, even during the period of guarantee.
