PREPARATION OF THE WASHING

1. Sort the laundry according to...

- Type of fabric / care label symbol Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwashed items

• Colour Separate coloured and white items. Wash new coloured articles separately

- Size Laundry items of different sizes distribute themselves better in the drum and optimise the washing and spinning action

- Delicates Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.) and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a washbag or pillow case with a zip fastener. Always remove curtain glides or wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton bag

1. Empty all pockets Coins, safety pins etc. can damage the laundry, drum and tub.

3.Closures Close zips and hooks and eyes; Tie loose belts or straps together.

Stain removal

• Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by the automatic enzyme phase of the programme
- To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit stains etc. add a stain remover to the detergent dispenser chamber
- Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover if necessary

Dyeing

• Only use dyes that are suitable for washing machines
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine can be stained by dyes

Loading the laundry

1. Open the door.

2. Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in the drum. Observe the load sizes given in the Quick Reference Guide.
   Note: overloading the machine will result in
   unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.

3. Close the door

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

The choice of detergent depends on:

- type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool). Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool

• colour

• the wash temperature

• degree and type of soiling

Remarks:

Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents.

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

When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines. Descaler could contain components which can attack parts of your washing machine

Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine). Do not wash fabrics in the machine which have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

Dosage

Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:

• degree and type of soiling

- size of wash full load follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions; half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load; Minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used for a full load

- water hardness in your area (request information from the water company). Soft water requires less detergent than hard water (refer to water hardness table)

Notes:

Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation.

The cleaning effect deteriorates. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning.

Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.

Do not use extension leads or multi sockets.

Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local regulations.

1) Warning - this appliance must be earthed

This appliance is normally supplied with a mains lead having a plug fitted in the factory which has been checked for correct earth continuity.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, or if the machine's mains lead is not fitted with a plug, you should fit a suitable new, good quality plug by following the instructions in (2) below. Any unsuitable plug should be cut off and disposed of in order to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a socket.

2) CONNECTION TO A REWIRABLE PLUG - to be carried out only by a qualified electrician

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N")

BROWN - "LIVE" ("L")

GREEN AND YELLOW - "EARTH" ("E")

YELLOW & GREEN BROWN BLUE CABLE CLAMP Connection to a topsof 13 amp chg

To fit a new plug, proceed as follows:

2.1 Polarized Plugs (e.g. 3 pin, 13 amp plug conforming to BS 1363A)

a. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or by the Earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.
b. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured blue.
