3 Initial preparations for
washing
Preparing clothes for washing
Laundry items with metal attachments such
as, bras, belt buckles and metal buttons
will damage the machine. Remove metal
attachments or place the items in a clothing
bag, pillow case, or something similar.
• Sort the laundry according to type of fabric,
color, and degree of soiling and permissible
water temperature. Always follow the
advice on the garment labels.
• Place small items like infants’ socks and
nylon stockings, etc. in a laundry bag,
pillow case or something similar. This will
also save your laundry from getting lost.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand
washable” labeled products only with an
appropriate program.
• Do not wash colors and whites together.
New, dark colored cottons may release a
lot of dye. Wash them separately.
• Use only dyes/color changers and lime
removers suitable for machine wash.
Always follow the instructions on the
packaging.
• Wash trousers and delicate clothes turned
inside out.
Correct load capacity
C
Please follow the information in the
"Program Selection Table". Washing
results will degrade when the machine is
overloaded.
Loading door
The door locks during program operation and
the Door Locked Symbol lights up. The door
can be opened when the symbol fades out.
Detergents and softeners
Detergent Drawer
The detergent drawer is composed of three
compartments:
The detergent dispenser may be in two
different types according to the model of your
machine.
– (I) for prewash
– (II) for main wash
- (III) siphon
– ( ) for softener
Detergent, softener and other cleaning
agents
Add detergent and softener before starting the
washing program.
Never open the detergent dispenser drawer
while the washing program is running!
When using a program without pre-wash, no
detergent should be put into the pre-wash
compartment (Compartment no. I).
Detergent quantity
The amount of washing detergent to be used
depends on the amount of laundry, the degree
of soiling and water hardness.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the
quantities recommended on the package
to avoid problems of excessive foam,
poor rinsing, financial savings and finally,
environmental protection.
• Never exceed the (> max <) level marking;
otherwise, the softener will be wasted
without being used.
• Do not use liquid detergent if you want to
wash using the time delay feature.
