Loading the laundry
d WARNING d
TO AVOID EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Items of clothing that have been
pretreated with solventĆbased
cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover
and dry cleaning solvents, represent
an explosion hazard once loaded
into the washing machine.
Therefore, these items must first be
rinsed thoroughly by hand.
ATTENTION
Loose debris in the washing
machine drum can damage the
laundry. Before loading the laundry,
check that there is no debris in the
drum.
q Open the door.
q Unfold the sorted items of clothing
and place them loosely into the
drum. Mix up large and small
items. Items of varying size will
distribute better during the spin
cycle.
i Do not exceed the maximum load.
Overloading will cause poor wash
results and encourage creasing.
For best results it is recommended to
load the drum depending on the fabric
type, see special programs Page 17 for
information on bulky items, e.g.
comforters :
Full Load
Cotton and Linens
½ Load
Permanent Press, Synthetic Blends
and Knitwear
D
Load
Wool, Delicates, Silk
q Close the door.
Do not trap any items of clothing
between the door and rubber seal.
Door should be able to close
easily, not by force.
Laundry
Detergents and
Additives
Dispensing the correct
amount of detergent
d WARNING d
TO AVOID RISK OF POISONING!
Keep detergents and additives out
of the reach of children.
Measure out the detergent (powder or
liquid) according to:
-
The water hardness. This
information can be obtained from
your local water authority. Soft
water requires less detergent.
- The amount of laundry.
- The degree of soiling. Information
on soiling can be found on Page
15.
- The specifications of the detergent
manufacturer. Measuring the
correct amount of detergent
relieves the strain on the
environment and ensures optimum
washing results.
Too little detergent:
The laundry is not cleaned properly and
will eventually become gray and stiff.
Grayish brown spots (fat globules) may
appear on the laundry. The heater may
calcify.
Too much detergent:
Not environmentally friendly, excessive
suds reduce wash agitation producing
poor washing and rinsing results or
may prevent proper spinning.
Filling laundry detergent
and/or additives
q Open the flap of the detergent
dispenser.
q Add the detergent and/or additive.
