b.
manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;
c.
press the Start/Pause button. The
spin phase continues.
• Avoid washing garments full of long
animal hair or poor quality garments
releasing lots of fluff that could block
the drain circuit and therefore
requiring the Service assistance.
• Make sure that you wash lint
collectors separately from lint
producer.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts,
cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any
other loose elements.
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
• The recommended loads for each
program are indicated in the
program chart. Washing a
maximum
load makes the most
efficient use of
water and energy. For
heavily soiled
laundry, reduce the
load size.

Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
12.3
Detergents type and
quantity of detergent
Low sudsing detergent is required for
this washing machine to prevent
oversudsing problems, unsatisfied
washing result and harm to the
appliance. Low sudsing detergents
designed for front load washing
machines are labelled "Front loading",
"high efficiency", "HE" or "Matic".
Do not use wrong types of detergent,
such as Top Loading, Handwash
detergent or Soap-Based products in
your front-load washing machine. This
can result in excessive suds, longer
cycle time, low spin speeds, poor
rinsing and overloading of the motor
and, in extreme cases, suds flowing
out of the appliance with symptoms
similar to water leak.
Quantity of detergent to be
used
The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the
environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents
contain substances which in large
quantities can upset the delicate balance
of nature.
The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on:
• type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc);
• the colour of clothes;
• size of the load;
• degree of soil;
• wash temperature; and
• hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified by so-called
"degrees" of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
You may have to try using the detergent
quantity as per manufactures'
instructions then compare the wash
result to the list below and adjust the
amount of detergent for your future
washes accordingly.
Not enough washing powder causes
:
• the wash load to turn grey,

Too much washing powder causes
