TIPS BEFORE WASHING This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for washing. LAUNDRY SYMBOLS Observe the laundry symbols. Textile maintenance symbols: LAUNDRY SORTING Sort the laundry according to: • how soiled it is, • colour, • material. Washing Normal CLOTHING 1. Close the zips and hook-and-loop fasteners so that they do not damage the fabric. 2. New dyed items may contain excess dye; therefore, they have to be washed separately several times. 3. Turn delicate items inside out.
DYED COTTON ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY Laundry made of dyed cotton which is to be washed at 60 °C should be first washed at a temperature of 60 °C to remove the excess dye. If this is not done, there is danger of dye being washed out of such items. To maintain the colour of the fabric, use bleach-free detergent. You can save a lot of energy by not using the programs operating at higher temperatures. Choose the Quick program if you wish to only refresh the laundry; or use the Time program.
WASHING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP (1 – 8) STEP 1: SORT THE LAUNDRY See chapter "TIPS BEFORE WASHING" Use a washing net for underwire bras. Empty the pockets. Coins, nails etc. could damage the machine and the fabric. STEP 2: TURN ON THE MAIN SWITCH. Turning on Press the on/off button. Turning off Press the on/off button. If the machine does not accept the on/off command correctly, wait for at least 8 seconds before pressing any other button. STEP 3: OPEN THE WASHING MACHINE DOOR AND INSERT THE LAUNDRY.
STEP 4: ADD THE DETERGENT AND THE CONDITIONER. Recommended amount of detergent is usually specified on the detergent packaging. When washing a smaller amount of laundry, the amount of detergent used can be decreased. Observe manufacturers' recommendations regarding the type of detergent suitable for certain temperatures, load size, and water hardness. Powder detergent Add powder detergent into the main wash detergent compartment.
STEP 5: CHOOSE THE PROGRAM. Choose the program by rotating the Program selector knob in either direction. The Program selector knob can be used when arrows appear on the display. Choose the program depending on the type of laundry and how heavily soiled it is (see chapter "TIPS BEFORE WASHING"). Estimated program duration will appear on the display. Extra program settings can also be selected for each program. See STEP 6. Choose between the following programs: Program Description 1.
Program 18 Description 7. AUTO PROGRAM (Auto) This program automatically adjusts the duration of the main wash and number of rinses depending on the amount of laundry in the machine. No extra program settings are possible. 8. QUICK PROGRAM (Quick) Quick program for laundry that only needs refreshing. The program operates at certain temperatures; therefore, observe the instructions indicated on the clothing. A lower temperature setting will result in shorter duration of the wash.
Program Description 19. ANTI-ALLERGY PROGRAM COTTON (Allergy program cotton) This program is used to wash normal to heavily soiled clothes that require special care, such as clothes for people with highly sensitive skin or skin allergies. We recommend turning the garments inside out as this will also thoroughly wash out the skin and other residues. You can also select the option to wash at maximum temperature and maximum spinning speed. 20.
