OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Preparing the Laundry

Sort the laundry before washing according to the type, quality, and color and soil degree of the laundry.

Type of Fabrics

Most clothes nowadays have labels describing the type of fabric they are made of, the kind of recommended wash, and the recommended washing temperature.

These labels will help you choose the most suitable washing program for your clothes.

Put delicate laundry (stockings, fine underwear...) into a sack or into a pillow case if washed together with other laundry.

Color Fastness

Pay special attention to color fastness, and always choose the correct washing temperature. When washing new clothes, always check color fastness first - wash separately the first time.

Degree of Soil

Stained and heavily soiled laundry should be washed in small loads or with a larger amount of washing powder.

Heavily stained or soiled areas on the fabric can be treated before washing using special agents. Use the energy-saving program for lightly soiled laundry (no pre-wash, economic program, lower washing temperature).

Loading

The maximum load of dry laundry is stated in the Table of Washing Programs (Page 14). Overloading the machine will cause clothing to crease and minimize washing efficiency.

Always check the pockets before loading the laundry. Remove keys, coins, hair-pins and similar objects that may clog the water outlet hose.

Zip the zippers and remove metal pins that may damage the laundry or even the drum (fig. 11).

Folded clothes should be loosened before loading.

The best washing effect is obtained by mixing larger and smaller items of laundry in one load.
