HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

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

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

together.• Some coloured items may run with the

first wash. We recommend you washthem separately the first time.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

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

wool or items with painted illustrationsshould be turned inside out beforewashing.

• Remove persistent stains before wash-ing.

• Rub particularly soiled areas with a spe-cial detergent or detergent paste.

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

• Do not wash in the appliance :– Laundry without hems or tears.– Bras with underwire.– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If this oc-curs, adjust the items in the tub man-ually and start the spin phase again.

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

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES• Use only detergents and additives rec-

ommended for front load washing ma-chines.

• Do not mix different types of deter-gents.

• To help the environment, do not usemore than the correct quantity of deter-gent.

• Obey the instructions that you find onthe on 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 not setthe prewash phase.

• If your appliance does not have the de-tergent dispenser with the flap device,add the liquid detergents with a dosingball.

WATER HARDNESSIf the water hardness in your area is highor moderate, we recommend that you usea water softener for washing machine. Inareas where the water hardness is soft it isnot necessary to use a water softener.To know the water hardness in your area,contact your local water authority.Obey the instructions that you find on thepackaging of the products.Equivalent scales measure the water hard-ness:• German degrees (°dH).• French degrees (°TH).• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - interna-

tional unit for the hardness of water).• Clarke degrees.
