1 BEFORE WASHING THE FIRST TIME CAUTION WITH CERTAIN MATERIALS WASHER DOOR Always check and adhere to recommended washing marking on the items concerned. If no recommendations are given, refer to those in Chapter 8, Before washing. The door of the washer opens electrically. Consequently, the door cannot be opened normally until the machine is connected to an electric power supply. However, emergency opening is available, see Chapter 12, Trouble shooting.
2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INTERRUPTING A PROGRAMME • Study and save this Use and Care Guide for future reference. • Electrical and water installation, if required, must be carried out by authorized persons. • The machine may only be used for washing in accordance with this Use and Care Guide not for dry cleaning. • Use only detergents intended for machine washing. • Remove the transport supports before using the machine, see installation instructions.
TRANSPORT/ WINTER STORAGE If the machine is to be transported, or stored in unheated premises where the temperature can fall below freezing point, you should proceed as follows: • Empty the coin trap and the drain pump; see Chapter 11, Care - Cleaning. • Turn off the water supply to the washing machine, disconnect the supply hose to the inlet valve, and let the water drain from the valve and the hose.

8 BEFORE WASHING Before you start washing, here is some advice that can be useful. SORTING THE WASHING Sort garments in relation to: • How soiled they are • Colour • Material GARMENTS • Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe against other items. • New coloured garments can have surplus dye and should therefore be washed separately the first time. • Turn garments inside out. This reduces the risk of burling and dye creases. • Empty pockets and suitably let them wash turned inside out.
Wool and silk PRE-SOAKING Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and Hand programmes of the machine are at least as gentle as washing by hand. Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying, you can press out the water instead using terry towelling. In this case, you should select No Spin. See Chapter 9, Washing for details of how to select this setting. Most garments will tolerate a short spin, however.
DETERGENTS Overdosing detergent will not give better results, it only increases the burden on the environment. Try using less detergent, and increase the dose only if you are displeased with the washing results. TEXTILE DYEING If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select Normal with the Super rinse option, . Choose a temperature according to recommendations from the dye maker. If the fabrics to be dyed are mixtures such as cotton/polyester, you should select a spin speed of 800 revolutions/minute.
