There is the risk of electric shock! 3 Initial preparations for washing Sorting the laundry• Sort the laundry according to type of fabric, color, and degree of soiling and permissible water temperature. Always follow the advice on the garment labels. Preparing clothes for washingLaundry items with metal attachments such as, brass, belt buckles and metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove metal attachments or place the items in a clothing bag, pillow case, or something similar. • Empty pockets and remove all foreign objects such as coins, pens and paper clips. If possible, turn pockets out and brush. • Place small items like infants’ socks and nylon
4 - EN stockings, etc. in a laundry bag, pillow case or something similar. This will also save your laundry from getting lost. • Place curtains in the machine with care. Remove curtain rails and pullers. • Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears. • Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate program. • Do not wash colors and whites together. New, dark colored cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately. • Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If you are not sure, check with a dry cleaner. • Use only dyes/color changers and lime removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the packaging. • Wash trousers and delicate clothes turned inside out. • Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling. • Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder and etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage. Correct load capacityThe maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing program you wish to use. C The machine adjusts the amount of water according to the amount of laundry placed inside. A Please follow the information in the "Program Selection Table". Washing results will degrade when the machine is overloaded. Loading doorThe loading door will be locked while the program is running. The door can only be opened a while after the program comes to an end. • Open the loading door. • Place laundry items loosely into the machine. • Push the loading door until it clicks into place tightly. Ensure that no items are caught in the door. Detergents and softenersDetergent Drawer Detergent drawer of your washing machine consists of four different compartments for powder main wash detergent, liquid main wash detergent, liquid softener and powder pre-wash detergent. Each of these laundry additives are dispensed automatically in the relevant time during the washing program. Do not place the laundry additives directly into the drum. Always use the detergent drawer. Do not close the drawer too fast after putting the laundry additives. This may cause the additives be dispensed early, creating unsatisfactory washing results and fabric damage. C Do not open the drawer during washing program. The detergent drawer compartments are indi- cated below: 1) Left compartment with number "II" (Main wash compartment for powder detergent or powder bleach/stain remover) 2) Left compartment with number "II " (Main wash compartment for liquid detergent or liquid stain remover) 3) Middle compartment with number "I" (pre- wash compartment for powder detergent, powder stain remover or liquid bleach - liquid bleach must be added either during the pre- wash or during the first rinsing step of the washing program). Liquid bleach must be added manually while the machine takes in water. 4) Right compartment with " ” symbol (liquid softener compartment) 1 2 3 4 (II) Main Wash Compartment Before starting the washing program, put powder detergent into the left compartment with number "II". Use the detergent manufacturer's measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package. Powder bleach/stain remover must also be put into this compartment. Put the liquid detergent into the main wash compartment with number "II " before starting the washing program. Liquid stain remover must be put into this compartment. Put the suggested amount of liquid detergent into the left compartment with “II ” symbol and dilute it to the maximum filling level line (max. II ) with warm water. Particularly the concentrated detergents must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.
5 - EN Do not fill the detergent above the maximum filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of detergent will reach the laundry without water and may cause stains on the garments.In this case you will need to refill the compartment. Do not pour the detergent onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments. Liquid Softener Compartment Put the suggested amount of liquid softener into the left compartment with “ ” symbol and dilute it to the maximum filling level line (max. ) with warm water. Particularly the concentrated softeners must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time. Do not fill the softener above the maximum filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of softener will get mixed with the washing water and you will need to refill the compartment. Do not pour the softener onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments. Liquid softener will be dispensed automatically at the final rinsing step of the washing program. (I) Pre-Wash Compartment Put the powder pre-wash detergent or powder stain remover into the middle compartment with number "I". You can also put liquid bleach into this compartment while the machine takes in water during pre-wash or first rinsing step. Adding the liquid bleach while the machine takes in water allows it to be diluted before it is poured onto the laundry. You must select extra rinsing option if you use liquid bleach in a washing program. Bleach must be removed from the laundry with rinsing; otherwise it may cause itching on the skin. C Read the dosage instructions and label of your garments carefully before using the liquid bleach. Starch • Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff into the softener compartment as instructed on the package. • Never use fabric softener and starch together in the same washing cycle. • Wipe the inside of the drum after using starch. Bleaches If you are going to use regular bleach in your machine, it is suggested to select a program with pre-wash step and add the bleach at the beginning of the pre-wash without putting detergent into the pre-wash compartment. Alternatively, it is suggested to select a program with extra rinsing and add the bleach while the machine takes in water from the detergent drawer in the first rinsing step. Bleach should not be mixed with detergent. Since the bleach may cause irritation on skin, little amounts must be used (e.g. 1/2 tea glass) and rinsed thoroughly. Do not pour bleach directly onto the laundry and do not use it with color laundry. When using oxygen based bleach, follow the instructions on the package and select a program at low temperature. Oxygen based bleach can be used together with the detergent. However, if it is not at the same thickness with the detergent, then it must be added from the compartment number "II" right after the detergent foams with water. Eliminating lime formation • When required, use only appropriate lime removers developed specifically for washing machines and always follow the instructions on the package.
