• When the laundry is unbalanced (“UE” lights up on the display), redistribute the load. If the laundry is unbalanced, the spin efficiency may be degraded.
•When washing Bedding or Duvet cover, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be degraded.
Make sure to insert brassieres (water washable) into a laundry net (to be purchased additionally).
•The metal parts of the brassieres may break through the material and damage the laundry. Therefore make sure to place them inside
a fine laundry net.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings and handkerchiefs may become caught around the door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal
CAUTION vibrations that could move the washing machine and cause an accident resulting in injury.
Detergent and additives information
Which detergent to use
The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your water is, enquire at your local water authority.
Do not use detergent that has hardended or solidified as the detergent may remain in the rinse cycle. It may cause your washing machine to not rinse properly or result in the overflow becoming blocked.
Please note the following when using the Wool course.
•Use a neutral liquid detergent for wool only.
•When using a powder detergent, it may remain on the laundry and cause damage to the material (wool).
