WASHING HINTS6.
Follow the wash code symbols on
each garment label and the
manufacturer’s washing
instructions. Sort the laundry as
follows: whites, coloureds,
synthetics, delicates, woollens.
6.1 Sorting The Laundry
6.2 Temperatures
Never wash whites and coloureds
together. Whites may lose their
“whiteness” in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the
first wash; they should therefore be
washed separately the first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie
any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before
washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a
special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care.
Remove hooks or tie them up in a
bag or a net.
Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).
6.3 Before Loading The
Laundry
Recommended loads are indicated
in the program charts. General
rules:
Washing a maximum load makes
the most efficient use of water and
energy. For heavily soiled laundry,
reduce the load size.

acetone (*), then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white
fabrics with bleach and then rinse
thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain
remover, methylated spirits or
benzine, then rub with detergent
paste.
Good washing results also depend
on the choice of detergent and use
of the correct quantities to avoid
waste and protect the
environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents
contain substances which, in large
quantities, can upset the delicate
balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric (delicates,
woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour,
washing temperature and degree of
soiling.
Only low suds Front load washer
detergents should be used in
this appliance:

CARE AND CLEANING8.
You must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity
supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance
work.
The water we use normally
contains lime. It is a good idea to
periodically use a water softening
powder in the machine.
Clean the appliance only with soap
and warm water. Fully dry all the
surfaces.
Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.
Do this separately from any laundry
washing, and according to the
softening powder manufacturer's
instructions.
This will help to prevent the
formation of lime deposits.
8.2 Descaling
8.1 External Cleaning
The washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer should be
cleaned regularly.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the
additive compartment should be
removed.
Remove the drawer by pushing the
catch and pulling it out. Flush it out
under a tap, to remove any traces
of accumulated powder.
8.5 Cleaning The Dispenser
Drawer
Leave the door open for a while.
This helps to prevent mould and
stagnant smells forming inside the
appliance. Keeping the door open
after a wash will also help to
preserve the door seal.
8.3 After Each Wash
With the use of low temperature
washes it is possible to get a build
up of residues inside the drum.

cm above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a
height of no less than 60 cm
and no more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must
always be ventilated, i.e. the
inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside
diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be
kinked. Run it along the floor; only
the part near the drainage point
must be raised.
The end of the drain hose can be
positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink
using the plastic hose guide
supplied with the machine.
In this case, make sure the end
cannot come unhooked when
the machine is emptying.

Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without prewashing in
order to save detergent, water
and time (the environment is
protected too!).
The machine works more
economically if it is fully loaded.
With adequate pre-treatment,
