SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
• Conduct installation and connection in accordance with the separate installation instructions.
• Installation of water and electricity, if required, must be carried out by a qualified professional.
• Remove any transport protection devices before using the machine, see the separate installation instructions.
OVERFLOW GUARD FUNCTION
If the water level in the machine rises above normal, the overflow guard function begins to pump water out and shuts off the water intake. If the water level has not dropped within 60 seconds, the programme is terminated.
TRANSPORT/WINTER STORAGE
If the machine is to be transported or stored in unheated premises where the temperature can fall below freezing, do as follows:
• Shut off the water to the washing machine, loosen the supply hose to the intake valve and let the water run out from the valve and hose.
PACKING MATERIAL
Please sort waste materials in accordance with local guidelines.
RECYCLING
This washing machine is manufactured and labelled for recycling. In order to prevent injuries, the machine must be made unusable once the decision has been taken to dispose of it. Contact your local authority for information about where and how your machine should be correctly recycled.
ADVICE AND TIPS BEFORE WASHING
Here are some tips that may help you before washing.
SORTING YOUR LAUNDRY
Sort items according to:
• how soiled they are
• colour
• material
CLOTHING
1 Do up zips and close Velcro straps so that they don’t harm fabrics.
2 New coloured items may contain excess dye and should therefore be washed separately the first few times.
3 Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces the risk of burling and fading.
4 Empty pockets and wash them inside out if possible.
WOOL
These fabrics are labelled for either machine wash or for hand wash. The machine’s Wool/hand wash, 30 °C programme is at least as gentle as washing by hand.
RAYON FIBRES AND SYNTHETIC
FIBRES
Materials made of rayon fibres, such as viscose, and some synthetic fibres are very delicate and require much space so as not to crease. Only half fill the drum when washing and choose a spin speed of 800 rpm or lower.
NOTE!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
DETERGENTS
Eco-labelled detergents are less harmful to the environment. Detergent overdosing does not give better washing results; it merely causes a greater impact on the environment. Try to use less detergent, and increase only if you are not satisfied with the results.
NOTE!
Due to environmental concerns, we discourage the use of strong chemicals.
When using agents for bleaching or stain removal, there is a risk of rust (corrosion) and discolouration of the machine.
LAUNDRY LABELS
Look at the item’s laundry label. The table below shows suitable wash programmes for different materials and wash loads. Using modern washing machines and detergents, for example compact detergents, you can usually wash at lower temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and error to find out what produces the best results.
COLOURED COTTON
Coloured cotton garments labelled with washing instruction 60°C must be washed at 60 °C initially to remove any excess dye. Failure to observe this advice could lead to the colour running. Use detergent without bleach to preserve the colour of the fabric.
UNBLEACHED LINEN
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 60 °C, using detergent without bleach or optical brighteners.
Heavily soiled linen can be washed at higher temperatures, but not too often as the heat may destroy the sheen and strength of the linen.

Stop
The quantity of detergent needed depends, amongst other things, on how hard the water is. See the detergent pack for details. Phone your local water company to check the water hardness in your area.
The detergent packaging will have recommendations for how much detergent you should use. The machine holds 8 kg of washing. If you only have a small amount of laundry in the machine, you can reduce the amount of detergent used.
Follow the manufacturers’ recommendations as regards which type of detergent is suitable for which temperature.
Powder detergent
Pour the powder into the compartment for the main wash, and pre-wash as well if desired. Do not use the separator in the main detergent compartment.
Liquid detergent
When using a liquid detergent, observe the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations. We recommend using a laundry ball with thick detergents. In the main detergent compartment, use the section wall (A). Add the detergent into the front compartment of the detergent dispenser.
Wash ball or net
If you use a wash ball or net, place it directly in the drum and select a programme without pre-wash.
NOTE!
Detergent overdosing does not give better washing results; it merely causes a greater impact on the environment.
Try using less detergent, and increase only if you are not satisfied with the results.
Fabric softener
Pour the fabric softener into the compartment with the
symbol. Follow the recommendations on the fabric softener packaging.
USING YOUR WASHING MACHINE
NOTE!
Do not fill above the compartment’s maximum fill level.
Otherwise fabric softener will run in too early, which impairs the washing effect.
PROGRAMME SELECTION
The display shows the programme name, the water temperature and the spin speed.

CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE
MACHINE TO AVOID UNPLEASANT
SMELLS
Run a programme at 90 °C or 95 °C (depending on the model) with a small amount of detergent once a month to avoid problems with odours. It is not necessary to put any washing in the machine.
RINSE HOLES UNDER THE AGITATOR
If you suspect that objects such as nails or paper clips may have fallen into the wash drum, you should check the space under the agitator. Such objects can rust and leave marks on clothing. Nails and other sharp objects can cause holes in fabrics.
3 Lift the agitator.
4 Remove any objects.
5 Place the agitator in the mounting hole with the
F-mark towards you. Ensure that all the agitator fasteners are in their holes in the drum. Push it in until it catches.
IF YOU HAVE HARD WATER
If you live in an area with hard water (high limescale content), a greyish-white coating may form on the washer drum. To remove this, empty a sachet of citric acid, approx. 20 gram, into the washer drum and run any 90 °C programme. Repeat if necessary.
