GB 4

PREPARATION OF THE WASHING

1.Sort the laundry according to...

• Type of fabric / care label symbol

Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics,

wool, handwash items.

• Colour

Separate coloured and white items. Wash new

coloured articles separately.

•Size

Wash items of different sizes in the same load to

improve washing efficiency and distribution in the

drum.

• Delicates

Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.)

and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a cloth bag or

pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings

or wash curtains with the rings inside a cotton bag.

2.Empty all pockets

Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry

as well as the appliance drum and tub.

3.Fasteners

Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose

belts or ribbons should be tied together.

Stain removal

•

Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by

the automatic enzyme phase of the programme.

•

To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit

stains etc. add a stain remover to the main wash

chamber of the detergent dispenser.

•

Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover

if necessary.

Dyeing and bleaching

•

Only use dyes and bleaches that are suitable for

washing machines.

•

Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.

•

Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine

can be stained by dyes or bleaches.

Loading the laundry

Open the door.

Load the articles one at a time loosely into the

drum, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes

given in the programme chart.

Note:

overloading the machine will result in

unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.

Close the door.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Keep detergents and additives in a safe,

dry place out of the reach of children!

The choice of detergent depends on:

•

Type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,

delicate items, wool).

Note:

Use only specific detergents for washing

wool and garments made of microfibres (like

sports or swimwear).

•

Colour.

•

The wash temperature.

•

Degree and type of soiling.

Remarks:

•

Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused

by insoluble compounds used in phosphate-free

powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush

out the fabric or use liquid detergents.

•

Use only detergents and additives specifically

produced for domestic washing machines.

•

When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches

for the prewash (if available on your model),

make sure that they are suitable for use in

domestic washing machines. Descalers could

contain products which could damage your

washing machine.

•

Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine,

benzine). Do not machine wash fabrics that have

been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.

•

Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash

when having activated the “prewash” option (if

available on your model).

•

Do not use liquid detergent when activating the

“Start Delay” function.

Dosage

Follow the dosage recommendations on the

detergent pack. They depend on:

•

degree and type of soiling

•

size of wash

- full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s

instructions.

- half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load.

- minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount

used for a full load.

If there is no reference to a certain wash load on

the detergent pack: the detergent manufacturers

usually refer their dosing recommendations to

4.5 kg laundry for heavy duty detergent and

2.5 kg laundry for delicate detergent.

•

water hardness in your area (ask for information

from your water company). Soft water requires

less detergent than hard water.

Notes:

Too much detergent can result in excess foam

formation, which reduces washing efficiency.

If the washing machine detects too much foam, it

may prevent spinning, or prolong the programme

duration and increase the water consumption (see

also remarks on foam formation in the

“Troubleshooting Guide”).

Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry and

also calcifies the heating system, drum and hoses.

Can I stack my dryer and washing machine? Verified

In general it is possible to directly stack a dryer and washing machine directly on top of each other. This only works with front loading models. However, it is advisable to use a fitting accessory to do so. This will prevent the machines from vibrating and falling off and also prevents damage to the bottom machine.

What is the difference in usage between a washer-dryer and a separate washing machine and dryer? Verified

The biggest advantage of a washer-dryer is that it takes less space. However, a separate dryer will be able to dry more than a washer-dryer. A washer-dryer also uses relatively more energy and requires more time.

Can I connect a washing machine to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a washing machine, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the washing machine is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.
