40004753Eng.qxd 24/01/2007 16:45 Page 12

The following tips are designed to assist in getting the best results from your

machine whilst utilising it in the most environmentally-friendly and

economical way. It is also important to understand the items to avoid in your

laundry, to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of your machine.

Loading your washing machine

To make further reductions of energy, water and detergent consumption, we

recommend that you put a full load into your machine. Energy savings of up

to 50% can be achieved by washing one full load compared to two half loads.

Do not overload the machine as this will reduce the quality of the wash and

may cause damage to the machine and your laundry.

When is prewashing really needed?

Only with particularly dirty loads! Energy savings of 5 to 15% are made by not

selecting the prewash option for less dirty laundry. Pre-treat awkward stains

with a washable stain remover.

Which wash temperature should you choose?

Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need to wash at

temperatures over 60°C.

Using a 40°C wash temperature can make energy savings of up to 50%.

Heavily soiled laundry

To ensure the best performance when washing a particularly dirty load, we

recommend that you reduce the amount of items to be put into the machine.

Allowing more space in the drum the items can circulate more freely and will

wash cleaner.

Sorting the laundry

Items to avoid

We recommend that you do not wash underwired bras in the machine. Should

the wires become detached it could cause damage to your clothes and the

machine. If the washcare label states that the bra is machine washable then

we advise placing it in a wash bag.

Recommendations

Always follow the wash care labelling on the garments.

Fasten zips, tie strings and close press studs to prevent tangling. Ensure that

pockets are emptied of loose change and other small items.

13

Washing and Drying advice

40004753Eng.qxd 24/01/2007 16:45 Page 13

Check that there are no metal objects in the laundry as these may damage the

laundry and the machine. Place small items in a wash bag.

Drying

In addition to the above advice the guidelines below must be followed when

drying the clothes.

Sort the load for drying:

● By care symbols:

These can be found on the collar or inside seam:

Suitable for tumble drying. Tumble drying at high temperature.

Tumble drying at low temperature only. Do not tumble dry.

If the item does not have a care label it must be assumed that it is not suitable

for tumble drying.

● By amount and thickness

Whenever the load is bigger than the dryer capacity, separate clothes

according to thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

● By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and table linen.

Synthetics: Blouses, shirts, overalls, etc. made of polyester or polyamid, as

well as for cotton/synthetic mixes.

Things to avoid

● Do not tumble dry woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings,

delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC

or leather trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc.

● Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or

rubber clothes (danger of fire or explosion).

● Foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, when heated

become ignited by spontaneous combustion. Foam plastic, foam rubber

and rubber-like material are not suitable for tumble drying. Articles

made from these materials MUST NOT be placed in the dryer.

● Do not try to dry items that are dripping wet, this may damage the

appliance. Spin these items first.

14

Do not use the machine to wash and dry items that do not

have a wash label.

Do not wash and dry items previously treated with solvents.

40004753Eng.qxd 24/01/2007 16:45 Page 14

Detergent dosage

Only use detergents which are suitable for use in a washing machine. You will

obtain the best results from your wash with the minimum use of chemical

products, and the best care for your laundry if you take into consideration the

degree of soiling as well as the type of detergent to choose.

The amount of detergent to use depends on:

● Water hardness.

Depending on the hardness of the water and the type of detergent used,

it is possible to reduce the amount of detergent.

The softer the water supply, the less detergent is required.

● The degree of soiling.

It is possible to reduce the amount of detergent used depending on the

degree of soiling.

Use less detergent for less soiled items.

● Amount of laundry.

It is possible to reduce the amount of detergent when washing only a

small amount of laundry.

For smaller loads use less detergent.

The dosages shown on the packaging of detergents for washing delicates

often already refer to a reduced wash size. Always follow the dosage

instructions on the detergent packaging.

for detergent used during the main wash.

● the centre compartment, labelled is for

special additives such as fabric softeners,

fragrances, starch, brighteners etc.

● the right-hand compartment, labelled "I", is

for detergent used during Prewash.

Dispensing in the drum

Liquid detergents and some tablets are dispensed

via the machine drum using the recommended

dispensing device which is placed upright on top of

the washload towards the back of the drum. Some

tablets are designed to be placed in the dispenser

drawer, check the detergent pack for details.

16

Do not put any

items into the

drawer other

than detergents

that are

designed to be

dispensed from

the drawer as

they may cause

blockage or

damage.
