PREPARATION OF THE WASHING
1. Sort the laundry according to...
• Type of fabric / care label symbol
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics,
wool, handwash items.
• Colour
Separate coloured and white items. Wash new
coloured articles separately.
• Size
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to
improve washing efficiency and distribution in the
drum.
• Delicates
Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.)
and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a cloth bag or
pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings
or wash curtains with the rings inside a cotton bag.
2. Empty all pockets
Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry
as well as the appliance drum and tub.
3. Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose
belts or ribbons should be tied together.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry
place out of the reach of children.
Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine,
benzene); do not machine wash fabrics that
have been treated with solvents or
flammable liquids.
Only use detergents and/or additives that are
specifically produced for domestic washing
machines.
Observe the recommendations on the care
labels of your laundry.
The choice of detergent depends on:
• Type of fabric
• Colour
• Recommended wash temperature
• Degree and type of soiling

Stain removal
• Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by
the automatic enzyme phase of the programme.
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
stains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash
chamber of the detergent dispenser.
• Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover
if necessary.
Dyeing and bleaching
• Only use dyes and bleaches that are suitable for
washing machines.
• Follow the Manufacturer's instructions.
• Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine
can be stained by dyes or bleaches.
Loading the laundry
1. Open the door.
2. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the
drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes
given in the programme chart (overloading the
machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results
and creased laundry).
3. Close the door. Take care that no laundry gets
stuck between door and door seal.
For laundry requiring special treatment (e.g. wool
or microfibers), we recommend to use specialized
detergents, additives or pre-treatment available on
the market.
Refer to internet link www.cleanright.eu for more
detailed information.
Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash
when having activated the "Prewash" option.
Do not use liquid detergent when selecting a
later cycle start / cycle end (depending on the
model).
Dosage
Follow the dosage recommendations on the
detergent pack. They depend on:
• degree and type of soiling
• size of wash
- full load: follow the detergent manufacturer's
instructions;
- half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;
- minimum load (about 1 kg): half the amount
used for a full load
If there is no reference to a certain wash load on
the detergent pack: the detergent manufacturers
usually refer their dosing recommendations to
4.5 kg laundry for heavy duty detergent and
2.5 kg laundry for delicate detergent.
• water hardness in your area (ask for information
from your water company). Soft water requires
less detergent than hard water.
