Dispenser I:
Dispenser for detergent, stain remover.
i We recommend HE detergents
because they are particularly
designed to deliver optimum
performance from your
front-loading washer. Not
using HE detergent could cause
problems such as oversudsing,
extended cycle periods, or a
decrease in wash performance.
Dispenser II:
Cleaning additives, e.g. fabric softener,
fabric conditioner. Do not fill over edge
of max line!
Dispenser
III:
Dispenser for liquid bleach (chlorine
bleach, color safe bleach).
Do not overfill!
i Concentrated or thick fabric
softener, conditioner and
powder-bleach must be diluted
with a little water before being
poured into the dispenser
(prevents overflow due to
obstruction).
q Close the flap of the detergent
dispenser.
Decolorizing
ATTENTION
Dyes may contain sulphur or
chlorine. These substances may
cause parts of the washing machine
to corrode. Do not dye items of
laundry in the washing machine.
Programs
and Functions
Cycle time will vary depending on cycle
selected, temperature and pressure of
incoming water, water hardness, size
of load, type of fabrics and distance of
unit from the drain.
The maximum spin speeds of the
programs are dependent upon the
cycle. For adjusting the spin speed, see
page 18.

Normally and/or heavily soiled colorfast
fabrics. Sturdy, hard wearing items
made of cotton or linen such as work

Special programs
delicates
Delicates settings are intended for use
with delicate easy care items made of
cotton, satin, synthetic or blended
fabrics and curtains, dresses, skirts
and blouses.
Bulky items, e.g. comforters, can be
washed with this cycle because of
gentle action and additional rinse
(automatically added).
No spinning between rinse cycles.
hand wash
Hand Wash settings are intended for
very delicate easy care items that
usually require hand washing.
These cycles have been specifically
designed to provide extremely gentle
treatment of fabrics.
Silk or other items marked with the
Hand Wash" symbol
Ì
on the care
label can be safely washed with this
cycle.
silk/satin
Silk/satin settings are designed for
particularly sensitive but washable
clothes, e.g., designer's clothing made
of different materials such as silk or
satin, etc. and/or textiles with beads or
sequins. This program is also suitable
for washing new clothing before first
wear.
The wash temperature is about 90º F
with no spins between the rinses. The
cycle has a particularly gentle spin
followed with fluffing.
i The items being washed should be
turned inside out or placed in a
mesh bag.
i The cycle has a particularly gentle
final spin, so the textiles may be
quite damp after the cycle is
complete.
i Do not wash new multi-colored
laundry together with other
laundry.
woolCare
Woolens (machine wash and hand
wash).
outdoor
For outdoor clothing.
speedWash
For mixed load, e.g. cotton, linen,
synthetic materials or blended fabrics,
lightly soiled.
rinse + spin
Rinse + Spin is intended for unsoiled or
very lightly soiled garments that need to
be refreshed. Softener may be added
to the wash via the softener dispenser.
i Detergent and bleach should not
be used for the rinse + spin
program.
darkColor
Dark garments made of cotton,
synthetic, or blended fabrics. This
cycle is designed to reduce color
bleeding and color loss.
sanitary 170
°
This program was specifically designed
to eliminate most common houshold
bacterium while providing gentle
treatment of fabrics. At the beginning
of the washing phase, hot water is
introduced and then the internal
heating element heats the water to
167ºF-174ºF for a minimum of three
minutes. Clothes will be saturated in
the hot water long enough to kill most
common household bacterium, yet
without causing additional wear and
tear to the clothes.
