PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

1.Packing

- The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and bear the recycling symbol. Adhere to local regulations when disposing of packaging material.

2. Energy saving tips

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size.
• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated in the manufacturer's instructions.
• The Eco Ball - a special system in the outlet - will prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid detergent loss into the environment.
• Use "Prewash" for heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time, water and energy consumption by not selecting "Prewash" for slight to normally soiled laundry.
• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash program.
• Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 90°C wash programme or a 40°C instead of a 60°C wash programme.
• Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a tumble dryer (for machines with adjustable spin speed).

3. Disposing of packaging and old appliances

• The washing machine is built from reusable materials. The washing machine must be disposed of in compliance with current local waste disposal regulations.

PREPARATION OF THE WASHING

Sort the laundry

1. Sort the laundry according to...
   • Type of fabric / care label symbol

Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwashed items.

- Colour

Separate whites and coloureds. Wash new coloured items separately.

- Size

Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve efficiency and distribution in the drum.

- Fabric delicacy

Wash delicate articles separately: use a special programme for Pure New Wool, curtains and other delicates. Always remove curtain glides or wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton bag. Use the special program for handwash fabrics. Wash stockings, belts and other small items or articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special cotton bags for washing machines or in zipped pillow cases.

1. Empty pockets

Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage your appliance drum and tub.

1. Fasteners

Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.

Stain removal

• Blood, milk, egg and other organic substances are generally removed by the enzyme phase of the programme.
- To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit stains etc. add a stain removing agent in detergents dispenser compartment or chlorine bleach in compartment (depending on model).
• Particularly stubborn stains should be treated before the wash.

Dyeing and bleaching

Products usually consist of dye colour, fixing agent and salt. Pour the dye colour, the fixing agent and then the salt directly into the empty drum. Load the laundry only afterwards.

• Only use dyes and bleaches recommended for washing machines.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• Plastic and rubber parts of the machine may be stained by dyes or bleaches.

Starching

- Dissolve/dilute the starch, powder or liquid, in approximately 1 litre water outside of the washing machine in a small container. Load the washing machine, close the drum flaps and pour the dissolved starch directly on the drum. Then close the lid, select the programme "Rinse and Spin" and start.

Loading the laundry

1. Lift the machine lid.
2. Open the drum by pressing the small flap and holding the large flap.
3. Place the items of laundry in the drum one by one without compressing them. Follow loads recommended in the "programme chart": overloading will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.
4. Close the drum flaps and check that they are properly locked.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Choice of the right detergents and additives

The type of detergent depends on:

- type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool).

Note: use only specific detergents for wool.

• colour;
• washing temperature;
  • degree and type of soiling.

Notes:

Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble detergents components used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If you notice this problem, shake or brush the affected items or use a liquid detergents.

Keep detergents and additives in a dry place and out of reach of children.

Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines.

If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use. Descaler could contain components that can attack parts of your washing machine.

Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc.). Do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Dosage

Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in relation to:

• the degree and type of soiling;
- the size of the load;

• 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;

- water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company): soft water requires less detergent than hard water.

Notes:

Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, and the reduction of washing efficiency. If the appliance detects excessive foam it may prevent spinning.

Insufficient detergent may result in: grey laundry, deposits on the drum, tub and heater. When using concentrated fabric softeners, add water in the detergents dispenser up to "MAX" level mark.

To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the detergent and place it inside the drum.

3	hard	14-21	25-37	17-26
4	very hard	over 21	over 37	over 26

Filling up with detergents and additives

The dispenser will have three or four compartments depending on model.

Pour in the detergent:

• Washing powder for prewash and main wash
• Washing powder for main wash without prewash
• Fabric softeners and starch products, no more than to "MAX" mark.
• Chlorine bleach, no more than to "MAX" mark. (only four compartments model)
• Stain removers
  • Water softeners (water hardness class 4)
  • Starch (dissolved in water)

Be careful not to fill more than the "MAX" level mark. Do not use liquid detergents for programmes with prewash. For programmes without prewash and temperatures from cold to 40^ , it is recommended to use liquid detergents in chamber II for main wash to avoid whitish residues on the laundry.
