3 Preparation
Things to be done for energy saving
Following information will help you use the
product in an ecological and energy-efficient
manner.
• Operate the product in the highest
capacity allowed by the programme you
have selected, but do not overload; see,
"Programme and consumption table".
• Always follow the instructions on the
detergent packaging.
• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low
temperatures.
• Use faster programmes for small quantities
of lightly soiled laundry.
• Do not use prewash and high temperatures
for laundry that is not heavily soiled or
stained.
• If you plan to dry your laundry in a
dryer, select the highest spin speed
recommended during washing process.
• Do not use detergent in excess of the
amount recommended on the detergent
package.
Sorting the laundry
• Sort laundry according to type of fabric,
colour, and degree of soiling and allowable
water temperature.
• Always obey the instructions given on the
garment tags.
Preparing laundry for washing
• Laundry items with metal attachments
such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or
metal buttons will damage the machine.
Remove the metal pieces or wash the
clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or
pillow case.
• Take out all substances in the pockets
such as coins, pens and paper clips, and
turn pockets inside out and brush. Such
objects may damage the product or cause
noise problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's
socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag
or pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing
them. Remove curtain attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and
mend rips and tears.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand
washable” labeled products only with an
appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together.
New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of
dye. Wash them separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly
before washing. If unsure, check with a dry
cleaner.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and
limescale removers suitable for machine
wash. Always follow the instructions on the
package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned
inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora
wool in the freezer for a few hours before
washing. This will reduce pilling.
• Laundry that are subjected to materials
such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc.
intensely must be shaken off before placing
into the machine. Such dusts and powders
on the laundry may build up on the inner
parts of the machine in time and can cause
damage.
Correct load capacity
The maximum load capacity depends on the
type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the
washing programme desired.
The machine automatically adjusts the amount
of water according to the weight of the loaded
laundry.
A
Follow the information in the “Programme
and consumption table”. When overloaded,
machine's washing performance will drop.
Moreover, noise and vibration problems
may occur.
Loading the laundry
• Open the loading door.
• Place laundry items loosely into the
machine.
• Push the loading door to close until you
hear a locking sound. Ensure that no items
are caught in the door.
C
The loading door is locked while a
programme is running. The door can only
be opened a while after the programme
comes to an end.
A
In case of misplacing the laundry, noise
and vibration problems may occur in the
machine.
Using detergent and softener
Detergent Drawer
The detergent drawer is composed of three
compartments:
- (I) for prewash

– (*) in addition, there is siphon piece in the
softener compartment.
C
The detergent dispenser may be in two
different types according to the model of
