Washing
1
Sort your laundry.
See the "Advice and tips before washing"
chapter.
Place underwired bras in a laundry net.
Empty pockets. Coins, nails and the like can
cause damage to the machine and fabrics. See
the "Advice and Tips" section before washing.
2
Turn on the main power switch
3
Open the washer door and load
the washing
If the washer door is closed, press
the Door opening button (key symbol). The
door opens once all water has drained from
the machine. Load the washing. The wash
programme chart shows how much washing
can be washed with each programme.
4
Add detergent and fabric
softener, as required
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.
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) – see figure in the
section Dispenser. 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.
NOTE!
Do not fill above the compartment’s maximum
fill level. Otherwise fabric softener will run in too
early, which impairs the washing effect.
