3 Initial preparations for washing

Preparing clothes for washing

Laundry items with metal attachments such as, bras, belt buckles and metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove metal attachments or place the items in a clothing bag, pillow case, or something similar.

•Sort the laundry according to type of fabric, color, and degree of soiling and permissible water temperature. Always follow the advice on the garment labels.

•Place small items like infants’ socks and nylon stockings, etc. in a laundry bag, pillow case or something similar. This will also save your laundry from getting lost.

•Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate program.

•Do not wash colors and whites together. New, dark colored cottons may release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.

•Use only dyes/color changers and lime removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.

•Wash trousers and delicate clothes turned inside out.

Correct load capacity

C Please follow the information in the "Program Selection Table". Washing results will degrade when the machine is overloaded.

Loading door

The door locks during program operation and the Door Locked Symbol lights up. The door can be opened when the symbol fades out.

Detergents and softeners

Detergent Drawer

The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:

The detergent dispenser may be in two different types according to the model of your machine.

–(I) for prewash

–(II) for main wash - (III) siphon

–() for softener

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents Add detergent and softener before starting the washing program.

Never open the detergent dispenser drawer while the washing program is running!

When using a program without pre-wash, no detergent should be put into the pre-wash compartment (Compartment no. I).

Detergent quantity

The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.

•Do not use amounts exceeding the quantities recommended on the package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.

•Never exceed the (> max <) level marking; otherwise, the softener will be wasted without being used.

•Do not use liquid detergent if you want to wash using the time delay feature.
