8 BEFORE WASHING  
Before you start washing, here is some advice  
that can be useful.  
RECOMMENDED WASHING MARKING  
Check the recommended washing marking on  
garments. The table below gives useful informa-  
tion on suitable washing programmes for diffe-  
rent materials and amounts of washing.  
SORTING THE WASHING  
Sort garments in relation to:  
How soiled they are  
• Colour  
COLOURED COTTON  
• Material  
Coloured cotton garments marked with a re-  
commendation for 60ºC should be washed the  
first time at 60ºC to get rid of any surplus dye.  
If this advice is ignored there is a risk that co-  
lours will run. Use a detergent without bleach  
to safeguard the colours.  
GARMENTS  
• Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe  
against other items.  
• New coloured garments can have surplus dye  
and should therefore be washed separately the  
first time.  
DELICATE WASHING  
• Turn garments inside out.  
This reduces the risk of bur-  
ling and dye creases.  
Unbleached linen  
Unbleached linen should be washed at 60ºC  
using a detergent without bleach or optical  
whitening agent. Severely soiled linen can oc-  
casionally be washed at a higher temperature,  
but not too often because heat can destroy the  
lustre and strength of linen.  
• Empty pockets and suitably  
let them wash turned inside  
out.

Wool and silk  
PRE-SOAKING  
Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine  
wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and  
Hand programmes of the machine are at least  
as gentle as washing by hand.  
The Pre-soaking option  
means that your  
2
h
washing will be soaked for two hours before the  
programme starts. This is useful for highly soi-  
led washing.  
Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical  
processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying,  
you can press out the water instead using terry  
towelling. In this case, you should select No  
Spin. See Chapter 9, Washing for details of how  
to select this setting.  
The drum will rotate on two occasions every  
tenth minute.  
SAVE TIME  
Use the White/Coloured programme to save  
time. This programme has a shorter main wash  
than ”Normal”, but it is often sufficient for nor-  
mally soiled washing.  
Most garments will tolerate a short spin, ho-  
wever. The Wool and Hand programmes al-  
ways include a short spin.  
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY  
Man-made fibres and synthetic fibres  
These materials require a lot of space if they are  
not to crease. Fill the drum only to half load  
when washing man-made/synthetic fibres. Se-  
lect a short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800  
revolutions/minute or lower.  
You can save a lot of energy by not using a  
stronger programme than necessary.  
- Without increasing the temperature, the wash-  
ing effect can be increased by selecting the  
option. You will then save energy without lo-  
sing any washing effect.  
NOTE  
- Select a fast spin speed to reduce the energy  
consumption for subsequent drying in a tumble  
dryer or a drying cabinet.  
Viscose and acetate are brittle when wet.  
MINIMIZING ALLERGY RISKS  
- Select Quick if you simply need to freshen up  
shirts or training kit, etc. You will save both  
water and energy.  
This washing machine offers a Super rinse func-  
tion  
. You should use this to take account  
of persons with a sensitive skin, for example  
persons with allergies and infants.  
 
10  
DETERGENTS  
Overdosing detergent will not give better re-  
sults, it only increases the burden on the envi-  
ronment.  
Try using less detergent, and increase the dose  
only if you are displeased with the washing re-  
sults.  
TEXTILE DYEING  
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select  
Normal with the Super rinse option,  
.
Choose a temperature according to recom-  
mendations from the dye maker. If the fabrics  
to be dyed are mixtures such as cotton/polyes-  
ter, you should select a spin speed of 800 revo-  
lutions/minute.  
NOTE  
Bleaches or stain removers that contain the che-  
mical Na2S2O4, known as sodium dithionite or  
sodium hyposulphite, must not be used in this  
washing machine. If these substances are used  
they could cause corrosion and discoloration.  
NOTE  
Put the dye directly in the drum - not in the  
detergent compartment. After dyeing, the emp-  
ty machine should be run using the same pro-  
gramme. Use a normal amount of detergent.

See the table of programmes for more infor-  
mation about the various available program-  
mes.  
Spinning at 400-800 revolutions/minute al-  
ways means a short spin. Spinning at 1000 re-  
volutions/minute or higher always means a long  
spin.  
SELECTING SETTINGS AND OPTIONS  
You can obtain a washing programme to

The machine will remember the settings and  
options that you make for each programme and  
will start with these (with a few exceptions –  
temperatures above 60°C and Delayed start)  
the next time you select the programme con-  
cerned. Of course, you can then make a further  
change if you wish.  
No Spin/No Drain (  
) means that  
the programme will be executed without spins  
and will end with the final rinsing water re-  
maining in the machine. The wash will then  
remain floating in the final rinsing water and  
will not become creased. Once the programme  
is complete, you can then select one or other of  
the Spin or Drain programmes or press the door

11 CARE AND CLEANING  
CLEANING THE COIN TRAP AND THE DRAIN PUMP  
The washing machine has a trap in which coins,  
hairpins and similar items fasten. Clean the coin  
trap and the drain pump as follows:  
1. Ensure that the machine is drained and the  
main power switch is turned OFF.  
2. Open the drain pump cover. Use the parti-  
tion piece from

CLEANING HOLES UNDER THE RIDGES  
HARD WATER  
If you suspect that objects, eg, nails, paperclips,  
pins and so on, have fallen through the washing  
drum you should check the space underneath  
the ridges. Such items can corrode and cause  
rust stains on your washing. Nails and other  
sharp objects can tear fabrics.  
If you live in an area that has hard water, the  
washer drum may become coated with a grey-  
white deposit. To get rid of the deposit, pour a  
packet of citric acid, about 20 gram, in the drum  
and run the Normal programme at 95°C. You  
will find citric acid on the spice shelf in your  
grocers store.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool.  
2. Insert the screwdriver  
in the middle hole in  
1
the ridge and care-  
fully push the  
screwdriver handle  
to the left.  
3. Grip the ridge with  
your other hand and  
pull it towards you  
as illustrated.

4. Lift up the ridge.  
5. Remove any objects.  
6. Position the ridge in the fixing holes with the  
F-mark facing you. Ensure that the ridge lugs fit  
firmly in their holes in the drum. Slide away  
from you until it stops.
