Before Washing for the First Time
0 1.Pull the detergent drawer out from the control panel a little.
2. Pour around 1litre of water into the washing machine via the deter-
gent drawer. This will ensure when the washing machine is started that
the water container is closed and that the ECO valve can function cor-
rectly.
3. Perform a washing cycle without any washing (MAIN WASH 95, with
half the normal dose of detergent).
This serves to remove residues resulting from production of the appli-
ance from the drum and the water container.
Prepare washing cycle

Sort washing and prepare

•Sort washing according to care symbol and type (see "Washing types
and care symbols").
•Empty all pockets.
•Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
•In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing,
close zippers, button up duvets and pillow cases, and tie up loose
ends from, for example, aprons.
•Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks etc.).
•Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and textiles with appliqués
should be turned inside out.
•Place small and delicate articles (baby booties, stockings, bras etc.)
into a washing net, a pillow case with zipper, or in large socks before
washing.
•Treat net curtains particularly carefully. Remove metal curtain rail
rollers or burred plastic rollers, or wrap these in a net or bag.
We cannot accept any liability for damage.
•Do not wash coloured and white washing together. White washing
will otherwise turn grey.
•New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these
items separately the first time.
