Recommendations

Always follow the wash care labelling on the garments. 

Fasten zips, tie strings and close press-studs to prevent tangling. Ensure that pockets

are emptied of loose change and other small items. 

Unfold all items before placing them in the machine.

Check that there are no metal objects in the laundry as these may damage the laundry

and the machine. 

Place small items in a wash bag.

Divide the laundry according to the type of material (the symbol on the garment label)

and colour, making sure that whites are separated from coloured garments

Do not exceed the values indicated in the “Programme Guide” which refers to the

weight of the laundry items when they are dry.

Washing Advice

The following tips are designed to assist in getting the best results from your machine

whilst using it in the most environmentally friendly and economical way. It is also

important to understand the items to avoid in your laundry, to ensure the continued

safe and reliable operation of your machine.

Loading your washing machine

To make further reductions of energy, water and detergent consumption, we 

recommend that you put a full load into your machine. Energy savings of up to 50%

can be achieved by washing one full load compared to two half loads.

Do not overload the machine as this will reduce the quality of the wash and may

cause damage to the machine and your laundry.

When is prewashing really needed?

Only with particularly dirty loads! Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not 

selecting the prewash option for less dirty laundry. Pre-treat awkward stains with a

washable stain remover.

Which wash temperature should you choose?

Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at 

temperatures over 60°C.

Using a 40°C wash temperature can make energy savings of up to 50%.

Very dirty laundry

To ensure the best performance when washing a particularly dirty load, we 

recommend that you reduce the amount of items to be put into the machine. 

Allowing more space in the drum means the items can circulate more freely and will

wash better.

Running a Wash Cycle

This section summarises the main points when completing a wash cycle. For detailed

explanations of features, options and details of the machine refer to the relevant 

section in the instruction manual.

Preparing the laundry

Select and sort the laundry according to the wash care labels found on each garment. 

Loading the laundry

Open the door. Put the laundry in the washing machine. Close the door by pushing it

until it clicks, ensuring that no items of laundry are obstructing the lock or door seal.

Putting detergent in machine

Open the drawer, choose the detergent and put in the recommended amount. 

Do not exceed the dosage stated below:

Close the drawer again.

Note: Liquid detergents and some concentrated powders and tablets that are to be

placed directly into the drum should be placed in the recommended dispensing device.

Selecting the wash programme

Refer to the Programme Guide or the programme descriptions on the front of the

machine to select the most suitable programme. Switch on the appliance by the

ON/OFF button and select the required programme. Check that the tap is turned on

and that the discharge hose is positioned correctly. Select the required wash options.
