TIPS BEFORE WASHING This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for washing. LAUNDRY SORTING Sort the laundry according to: • how soiled it is, • color, • material. CLOTHING 1. Close the zips and hook-and-loop fasteners so that they do not damage the fabric. 2. New dyed items may contain excess dye; therefore, they have to be washed separately several times. 3. Turn delicate items inside out. This will decrease the risk of tear and color fading. 4.
LAUNDRY SYMBOLS Observe the laundry symbols. Wash cycle Tumble dry cycle Normal wash cycle Machine dry Permanent Press or Wrinkle Resistant setting Normal setting Gentle/Delicate setting Permanent Press or Wrinkle Resistant setting Hand wash only Gentle or Delicate setting Do not wash Do not tumble dry Do not wring.
COLOURED COTTON ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY Colored cotton items labeled (140 °F / 60 °C) (HOT) should be washed at HOT the first time in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not do so, there is a risk that the color will run. Use detergent without bleach in order to preserve the color of the fabric. You can save a lot of energy by not using the programs operating at higher temperatures. Choose the Quick program if you wish to only refresh the laundry; or use the Time program.
WASHING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP (1 – 8) WARNING! - To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury to persons, read the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" section before operating this appliance. STEP 1: SORT THE LAUNDRY See chapter "TIPS BEFORE WASHING" Use a washing net for underwire bras. Empty the pockets. Coins, nails etc. could damage the machine and the fabric. STEP 2: TURN ON THE MAIN SWITCH. Turning on Press the on/off button. Turning off Press the on/off button.
STEP 4: ADD THE DETERGENT AND THE CONDITIONER. Recommended amount of detergent is usually specified on the detergent packaging. When washing a smaller amount of laundry, the amount of detergent used can be decreased. Observe manufacturers' recommendations regarding the type of detergent suitable for certain temperatures, load size, and water hardness.
Additionally, you should never put detergent in the prewash compartment unless you are using a wash program that has a prewash cycle. This could cause excess foaming, which could damage the machine. The amount of detergent needed can also depend on the hardness of the water in your area. See the “Detergent Amounts Based on Water Hardness” section on the next page for more details.
STEP 5: CHOOSE THE PROGRAM. Choose the program by rotating the Program selector knob in either direction. The Program selector knob can be used when arrows appear on the display. Choose the program depending on the type of laundry and how heavily soiled it is (see chapter "TIPS BEFORE WASHING"). Estimated program duration will appear on the display. Extra program settings can also be selected for each program. See STEP 6. Choose between the following programs: Program Description 1.

Program Description 19. ANTI-ALLERGY PROGRAM COTTON (Allergy program cotton) This program is used to wash normal to heavily soiled clothes that require special care, such as clothes for people with highly sensitive skin or skin allergies.
