Using the washer Special spin options No spin Hold ^ Select "No spin". ^ Select "Hold". The laundry is not spun and remains soaking in water. This will prevent wrinkles if the laundry is not removed immediately at the end of the wash program. – To start the final spin: The laundry is not spun after the final rinse, but the water is drained away. After the drain cycle, the washer goes immediately into the anti-crease cycle. Spinning between these rinses is also omitted in this setting.
Using the washer 6. Add detergent For optimum wash results, it is important to use the correct amount of detergent. Too little detergent may cause: – Ineffective cleaning of laundry; fabrics may become gray and stiff over time. – Grease stains on the laundry. – Hard water deposits on the heating element. Too much detergent may cause: – Oversudsing with minimal drum movement; poor wash, rinse and spin results. – Higher water consumption through an automatic, additional rinse cycle.
Detergent Use only high-efficiency, low sudsing laundry detergent formulated for front loading washing machines. For wool and wool blend fabrics, use a detergent specially formulated for woolens. Follow instructions on the detergent packaging for the correct use and amount of detergent. Adjust the amount of detergent if the load is smaller or more or less soiled than normal. Add detergent to the main wash compartment j at the beginning of each wash program.
Detergent The amount of detergent used depends on the level of soiling: Light soiling No soiling or stains are visible. Normal soiling Some visible soiling or a few light stains. Heavy soiling Very visible soiling or stains. The size of the load and the water hardness level in your area have an impact on the amount of detergent necessary to obtain optimum wash results. If you do not know the water hardness level in your area, contact your local water authority.
Detergent Fabric softener Fabric softener added to the wash program will make fabrics feel softer and will reduce static cling in the dryer. Never mix fabric softener and starch together in the fabric softener compartment §. This will clog the dispenser. ^ Open the lid of the fabric softener compartment §. ^ Pour the amount of liquid fabric softener into the compartment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Detergent Starch Mild liquid starch is a synthetic starch wash used to give fabrics some stiffness. Starching can be included in any wash program as part of the final rinse. ^ Open the fabric softener compartment §. ^ Add the recommended amount of starch to the compartment. Do not exceed the maximum level mark. ^ Close the compartment lid and push in the dispenser drawer. ^ The starch will be dispensed during the final rinse.
