10.1 Sorting The Laundry
10.2 Temperatures
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.
Temp Soil level
90°C
For normally soiled
white cottons and linen
(e.g. teacloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...).
60°C
50°C
For normally soiled, colourfast
garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pyjamas...) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and
for lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g. underwear).
10. WASHING HINTS
Temp Soil level
40°C
30°C
Cold
For delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry
including synthetic fibres and
woollens bearing the label
pure new wool, machine
washable, non-shrink.
10.3 Before Loading The Laundry
• Make sure that
no metal objects
are left in the
laundry (e.g.
coin, hair clips,
safety pins, pins).
26 ENGLISH
• Button up
pillowcases, close
zip fasteners,
hooks and
poppers. Tie any
belts or long
tapes.
• Wash bras, pantyhose
and other delicates in
a mesh laundry bag,
which you can
purchase from your
supermarket.
• Make sure that you
wash lint collectors separately from lint
producers.
• Never wash whites and coloured
fabrics 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.
• 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.
10.4 Maximum Loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
programme chart.
General rules:
Clothes
Load
Quantity
Cotton,
linen
drum full but not too tightly
packed;
Synthetics drum no more than half full;
Delicate
fabrics and
woollens
drum no more than one
third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the
most efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the
load size.
10.5 Removing Stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by
just water and detergent. It is therefore
advisable to treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water.
For dried stains, soak overnight in water
with a special detergent then rub in the
soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine
stain remover, lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain; treat several
times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpen-
tine, lay the garment on a soft surface
and dab the stain with the fingertips and
a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water
or a rust removing product used in cold
water. Be careful with rust stains which
are not recent since the cellulose struc-
ture will already have been damaged
and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only). Grass:
soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with
acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone (*) as
above, then treat stains with methylated
spirits. Remove any residual marks from
white fabrics with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent,
rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid,
then rinse. Treat any residual marks with
bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, mois-
ten the fabric first with 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.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
ENGLISH 27
10.6 Detergents Type And Quantity
Of Detergent
Low suds detergent is required for this
machine to prevent over suds problems,
unsatisfactory washing result and harm to
the machine.
Low suds detergents designed for front
load washing machines are labelled
"Front Loading", "High Efficiency", "HE",
such as Cold Power for Front Loaders or
"Matic".
Do not use wrong types of detergent,
such as Top Loading, Hand wash deter-
gent or Soap-Based products in your
front load washing machine. This can
result in excessive suds, longer cycle
time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and
overloading of the motor.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The choice of detergent and use of cor-
rect quantities not only affects your wash
performance, but also helps to avoid
waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable detergents con-
tain substances which in large quantities
can upset the delicate balance of nature.
The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on ;
• type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc.);
• the colour of clothes;
• size of the load;
• degree of soil;
• wash temperature ; and
• hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified by so-called
"degrees" of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the rele-
vant water supply company, or from your
local authority.
You may have to try using the detergent
quantity as per manufacturers’ instruc-
tions then compare the wash result to
the list below and adjust the amount of
detergent for your future washes accord-
ingly.
Not enough detergent causes:
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes.
Too much detergent causes:
• over suds,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam during
washing.

14. ENVIRONMENT CONCERNS
14.3 Ecological Hints
To save water, energy and to help
protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without pre-washing 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, stains
and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to
the water hardness, the degree of
soiling and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
