							Hints and tips
The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics, deli-
cates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry
care labels.
• Do not wash together white and coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash.
We recommend that you wash them separately for the
first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and pop-
pers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items
with painted illustrations.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put
the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance :
– Laundry without hems or with cuts
– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small items.
• A very small load can cause balance problems with the
spin phase. If this occurs, adjust manually the items in
the tub and start the spin phase again.
Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these stains before you
put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain
remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives specially made for
washing machines.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the cor-
rect quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging
of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and colour of the
fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set the prewash
phase.
• If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with
the flap device, add the liquid detergents with a dosing
ball.
Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we
recommend that you use a water softener for washing ma-
chines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not
necessary to use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area, contact your lo-
cal water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the
products.
Equivalent scales measure the water hardness:
• German degrees (°dH).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international unit for
the hardness of water).
• Clarke degrees.
