Checking the Clothes before
Loading
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half of total load.
• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.
• Make sure to empty all pockets. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your appliance and clothes.
• Remove items from the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and door seal damage.
• Wash delicates (stockings, underwired bras) in a wash net.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items do not snag other clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by saturating the dirt and stains with dissolved detergent and brushing them in order to remove dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small items.
CAUTION
• Check if the laundry gets stuck between the door and the seal, otherwise the laundry may get damaged while washing.
Adding Detergents and
Softeners
Detergent Dosage
• Detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer and selected according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and the washing temperature.
• Reduce the amount of detergent if too many suds are formed.
• Too much detergent results in excessive suds which cause poor washing.
• When you use liquid detergent, follow the guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.
• You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the wash cycle immediately.
• Do not use liquid detergent if you are using
Delay End function, or if you have selected
Pre Wash option, as the liquid may harden.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the laundry. For best results, avoid oversudsing.
• Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing the detergent and water temperature.
• Use only suitable detergents for the respective type of clothing:
− Liquid detergent is often designed for special applications, e.g. for coloured fabric, wool, delicate or dark laundry.
− Powdered detergent is suitable for all types of fabric.
− For better washing results of white and pale clothes, use powdered detergent with bleach.
− Detergent is dispensed from the dispenser at the beginning of the wash cycle.
15
NOTE
• Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or odour.
• Full load: According to manufacturer’s recommendation
• Part load: ¾ of the normal amount
