Detergent drawer Auto half load The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system. This system enables the machine to use the amount of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction of the water and electricity used, without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing performance. In fact the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the clothes load.
Dosages Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use Choice of detergent General purpose detergents - - Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry. Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil. These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain bleach.
Useful advice for users Main wash Sorting the laundry - It is recommended you wash only items which are machine washable with water and detergent and not dry-clean items. - If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin them.
The correct way to wash Cleaning and routine maintenance Preparing the laundry A) Select the laundry. Loading the laundry B) Open the porthole. C) Put the laundry in the washing machine. Close the porthole again, ensuring that no items of laundry are obstructing the lock. Do not use alcohol-based scourers and / or thinners on the outside of your washing machine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance: - Cleaning the drawer compartments.
Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the following page to empty the water. This will prevent excessive loss of water via the filter. Investigating malfunctions What might be the cause of… Defects you can remedy yourself MALFUNCTION CAUSE Cleaning the door glass Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door.
Note: The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects: - waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected; - presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric. - The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing.
