HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

THE LAUNDRY LOAD• Divide the laundry into: white, col-

oured, synthetics, delicates and wool.• Obey the washing instructions that

are on the laundry care labels.• Do not wash white and coloured

items together.• Some coloured items may run with

the first wash. We recommend youwash them separately the first time.

• Buttom up pillowcases, close zippers,hooks and poopers, and tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets.• Any laundry with multilayered fabrics,

wool or items with painted illustra-tions should be turned inside out be-fore washing.

• Remove persistent stains beforewashing.

• Rub particularly soiled areas with aspecial detergent or detergent paste.

• Treat curtains with special care. Re-move hooks or tie them up in a bagor net.

• Do not wash in the appliance :– Laundry without hems or tears.– Underwire’s bras.– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If thisoccurs, adjust the items in the tubmanually and start the spin phaseagain.

STUBBORN STAINSFor some stains, water and detergent isnot sufficient.We recommend that you remove thesestains before you put the items in theappliance.Special stain removers are available.Use the special stain remover that is ap-plicable to the type of stain and fabric.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES• Only use detergents and additives

specially made for front load washingmachines.

• Do not mix different types of deter-gents.

• To help the environment, do not usemore than the correct quantity of de-tergent.

• Obey the instructions that you findon the packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the typeand colour of the fabric, the pro-gramme temperature and the level ofsoil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do notset the prewash phase.

• If your appliance does not have thedetergent dispenser with the flap de-vice, add the liquid detergents with adosing ball.

WATER HARDNESSIf the water hardness in your area ishigh or moderate, we recommend thatyou use a water softener for washingmachines. In areas where the waterhardness is soft it is not necessary touse a water softener.To know the water hardness in yourarea, contact your local water authority.Obey the instructions that you find onthe packaging of the products.Equivalent scales measure the waterhardness:• German degrees (°dH).• French degrees (°TH).• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter-

national unit for the hardness of wa-ter).

• Clarke degrees.
