RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING AND
ECONOMIC USE YOUR WASHING MACHINE
Wash new coloured garments separately the first time.
Wash heavily soiled laundry in smaller amounts, with more powder detergent or with a pre-wash cycle.
With slightly soiled laundry, we recommend a programme without a pre-wash cycle, use of shorter
programmes (e.g. QUICKER) and a lower washing temperature.
Apply a special stain remover on stubborn stains before the wash.
Use of chlorine-based bleaches is not recommended as they can damage the heater.
If you wash at low temperatures and/or with liquid detergents, there is a risk of developing
microorganisms and an unpleasant odour in the washing machine. Leave the washing machine door
open after each wash to allow the appliance to dry. If you detect an unpleasant odour, run the Drum
clean programme.
To prevent and remove limescale deposits only use agents with added anti-corrosion protection.
Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions. To remove limescale deposits, we recommend
starting the DRUM CLEAN programme. Add spirit vinegar (2 dl).
We recommend avoiding washing very small amounts of laundry as this will lead to excessive use of
energy and poorer washing machine performance.
You can save energy and water by filling up the washing machine to the capacity specified by the
manufacturer for each programme.
INFORMATION!
The following information is accessible via the QR AUID code on the rating plate (see chapter
»WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION/Technical data«):
•
rated capacity in kg;
•
duration of the programme in hours and minutes;
•
energy consumption in kWh per cycle;
•
water consumption;
•
maximum temperature reached in the washing machine drum;
•
residual moisture content after washing cycle and spinning rate.
At higher spinning rates, there will be less residual moisture in the laundry. As a result, drying in a
tumble dryer will be more economical and faster.
Loosen any folded laundry before putting it into the drum.
If water hardness exceeds 14°dH, water softener should be used. Heater damage resulting from
incorrect use of water softeners shall not be covered by the warranty. Check the information on water
hardness with your local water supply company or authority.
Detergent compartment
Do not add hardened lumps of powder detergent into the detergent dispenser as this may clog the
piping in the washing machine.
