Preparing laundry for washing

Protecting your laundry and appliance

Caution!

Damage to the appliance/textiles

Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips, needles, nails) may damage the washing or components of the appliance.

The following instructions must be observed when preparing your laundry:

■ Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when dosing all detergents, cleaning aids, care products and cleaning agents.

• Do not exceed maximum load. Overfilling will impair the washing result.
• Keep detergents and agents for the pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain remover, prewash sprays, etc.) away from the surfaces of the appliance. Using a damp cloth, immediately remove any fine spray residue and other residue or droplets.
  ■ Empty any pockets. Remove any foreign objects.
  ■ Remove metal parts (paper clips, etc.).
  ■ Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts, should be turned inside out.
  ■ Ensure that underwired bras are appliance-washable.
  ■ Wash delicates in a net or bag (tights, underwired bras, etc).
  ■ Close zips, button up covers.
  ■ Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
  ■ Remove curtain fittings or include in the net/bag.

Sorting laundry

Sort your laundry according to the care instructions and manufacturer's information on the care labels, depending on:

■ Type of fabric/fibre

Colour

Note: Laundry may discolour. Wash white and coloured items separately. Wash new coloured items separately the first time you wash them.

Soiling

Wash laundry with the same level of soiling together. Some examples of soiling levels can be found in the chapter

- Light: Do not need to pretreat, select the Speed setting if necessary.

- Normal

• Heavy: Load less laundry, need to pretreat or soak laundry firstly.
• Stains: Remove/pretreat stains while they are fresh. First dab with soapy water; do not rub. Then wash the items of laundry with the appropriate programme. Stubborn or dried-in stains can sometimes only be removed by washing several times.

■ Symbols on the care labels

Suitable for normal washing process; e.g. ⚙ algodón/Algodão (Cottons) programme

A gentle washing process is required; e.g. ⏻ Ropa oscura/Roupa escura (Easy-Care) programme

An especially gentle washing process is required; e.g. Delicado/Seda (Delicates/Silk) programme

Suitable for washing by hand; e.g. 📋 Lana/Lãs (Wool) √ programme

Do not machine wash.

Preparing laundry for drying

Note: To ensure an even drying result, sort the laundry according to the:

■ Type of fabric
■ Care symbols which are indicated on the care labels.

Only dry laundry which is labelled "dryer-proof" or which has the following care symbols:

• : You can select
  algodón/Algodão (Cottons)/Antialergias (AllergyPlus)/MyTime + Dry
• ☐: You can select
  Ropa oscura/Roupa escura (Easy-Care)/Mix/Lana/Lãs (Wool) Plumas/Penas (Down)/Sport (Sportswear)/Camisas/Blusas (Shirts) + Dry

The following textiles must not be dried:

■ ☒ = care symbol "Do not dry"
■ Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains).
■ Textiles which contain foam rubber or similar materials.
■ Textiles which were treated with flammable liquids, e.g. with stain remover, petroleum ether, thinners. Risk of explosion!
■ Textiles which still contain hairspray or similar substances.

Notes

■ Before drying, hand-washed textiles must be spun at the appropriate spin speed.
■ Before drying, spin at the optimum speed. A spin speed of more than 1000 rpm is recommended for cotton, more than 800 rpm for easy-care textiles.
- Do not iron washing immediately after drying. It is recommended to roll the washing up first to distribute residual moisture evenly.
■ To ensure a good drying performance, quilts, terry cloths and other large textiles should be dried separately. Do not dry more than 6 terry cloths (or 5 kg).
■ Do not exceed the maximum load.

Unbalanced load detection system

The automatic unbalanced load detection system detects imbalances and ensures even distribution of the laundry by repeatedly starting and stopping drum spinning.

If the laundry is extremely unevenly distributed, the spin speed is reduced or the spin cycle is not performed for safety reasons.

Note: Place large and small items of laundry evenly in the drum.

The programme has started and the drum is rotating, but the drum is not filling with water.	Not a fault - Some programme (e.g. Cottons) specifically detect and weigh the load after the program has started in order to calculate the optimum amount of water for washing. The drum will then start filling with water.
The water is not draining.	■ Could the drain pump be blocked?→ "Drain pump is blocked" on page 42■ Could the drain hose at the siphon be blocked?→ "The drain hose at the siphon is blocked" on page 44
Water is not visible in the drum.	Not a fault - the water is below the visible area.
The spin result is not satisfactory.Laundry wet/too damp.	Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system has interrupted the spin cycle because the laundry is unevenly distributed. Distribute small and large items of laundry evenly in the drum.Is (Easy iron) additional programme setting selected (depending on the model)?Is (Silent) additional programme setting or Silent programme selected (depending on the model)?Is the selected spin speed too low?
The spin cycle runs several times.	Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system is adjusting an imbalance.
Residual water in the dispenser for care product.	Not a fault – effect of the care product not impaired.If required, remove the insert. Clean the detergent drawer and re-insert it.
Compartment is not rinsed out completely.	Remove the insert. Clean the detergent drawer and reinsert it.
The programme is taking longer than usual.	Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system is adjusting an imbalance by repeatedly distributing the laundry.Not a fault – the foam detection system is activated – a rinse cycle has been switched on.
The length of the programme changes during the wash/dry cycle.	Not a fault – the programme sequence is optimised for the specific washing/drying process. This may change the length of the programme shown on the Touch-Display.
Foam may come out of the detergent drawer.	Too much detergent used?Mix 1 tablespoon of fabric softener with 12 litre of water and pour into dispenser II. (Not for outdoor, sports and down-filled textiles!)Reduce detergent dosage for the next wash cycle.Use commercially available low foam detergent and care product which are suitable for machine.
Odours, stain formation in the appliance.	Run the Limp. tambor (Drum Clean) 90°C programme without laundry.Add washing powder or a detergent containing bleach.Note: To prevent foaming, only use half the amount of detergent recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Do not use detergents designed for woollens or delicates.

There is detergent residue on the laundry.	■ Some phosphate-free detergents contain water-insoluble residue.■ Select 🎨 or brush the laundry after washing.
Spin noise during the drying phase.	This is an innovative process known as thermal spinning used to reduce energy consumption during the drying phase.
Fluff found on the laundry.	Run the 😊Limp. tambor (Drum Clean) ❄ (cold) programme without laundry and detergent to remove fluff which have accumulated inside the drum during the previous drying cycle.
Water inlet noise during the drying phase.	The washer dryer uses water condensation technology, water is constantly needed to dry the laundry. Therefore the water tap must be on all the time, till the end of the drying phase.
Drying duration extended.	■ Run the 😊Limp. tambor (Drum Clean) ❄ (cold) programme to remove fluff which has collected in the washer drum during the drying phase.■ If the ambient temperature is higher than 30 °C, this may extend the drying time.■ Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-late the room.
Drying programme does not start.	■ Drying additional programme setting not selected?■ Door not closed properly?
Creasing. ■ Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected the wrong program for the type of fabric. All the required information can be found in the programme overview table.■ Remove clothes immediately after drying; creasing may occur if they are left in the drum.

Faults Cause/Remedy

The drying result is not satisfactory (laundry is not dry enough).

After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.Excessively high ambient temperature (above 30 °C) or inadequate ventilation in the room in which the washer dryer is situated.The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying. Always set the highest selectable spin speed for the particular washing programme.Washer dryer overloaded: Observe the recommendations for the maximum load in the programme table and on the load display. Do not overload the washer dryer, as the maximum load for the drying phase is less than the maximum load for the wash cycle. Unload the washer dryer after washing with the maximum load and divide the laundry into two drying cycles.The power supply voltage is too low (below 200 V) – provide a suitable power supply.The water pressure is low. According to water condensing principle, low water pressure will cause evaporated steam to not condense properly and completely.The water tap is closed during drying. Due to the use of the water condensation technology for drying, please keep the connected water tap open during the drying process, otherwise proper drying cannot be guaranteed.Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings dry easily on the surface, but not inside. This equalisation process may take longer. For these types of textiles, select drying mode ☐^+ (Cupboard dry+)or select ⏻ MyTime with Dry.
