Subsequently wash the items of clothing using the appropriate program. Sometimes several washing cycles may be required in order to remove persistent/dried in stains. 10 Loading the laundry d RISK OF EXPLOSION! d q Do not exceed the maximum load: Overloading will cause poor wash results and encourage creasing. For best results it is recommended to load the drum depending on the fabric type: Full Load ½ Load Õ Items of clothing that have been pretreated with solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. stain remover and dry cleaning spirit, represent an explosion hazard once loaded into the washing machine. Therefore, these items must first be rinsed thoroughly by hand. Cotton and Linens Permanent Press, Synthetic Blends and Poly Knits Wool, Delicates, Silk Load CAUTION Loose debris in the washing machine drum can damage the laundry. Before loading the laundry, check that there is no debris in the drum. q Close the loading door. Make sure not to trap any items of clothing between the loading door and rubber seal. q Open the loading door. q Unfold the sorted items of clothing and place them loosely into the drum. Mix up large and small items. Items of varying size will distribute better during the spin cycle. 11 Laundry Detergents and Additives Dispensing the correct amount of detergent Too much detergent: Environmentally incompatible, excessive foam reduces wash agitation which causes poor washing and rinsing results. Filling laundry detergent and/or additive dispensers d - RISK OF POISONING! d Keep detergents and additives out of the reach of children. Measure out the detergent according to: the water hardness. This information can be obtained from your local water authority. the amount of laundry. the amount of soil. Information on soiling can be found on page 9. the specifications of the detergent manufac turer. Measure out the correct amount of deter gent relieves the strain on the environment and ensures optimum washing results. Dispenser I: Detergent for soaking agent.

Dispenser 2: Cleaning product, e.g. fabric softener, fabric conditioner (fill at least to lower edge of insert 1). i Concentrated or thick fabric softener and con ditioner must be diluted with a little water be fore being poured into the dispenser (prevents overflow as a result of obstruction). q Pull out the detergent dispenser up to the final stop. q Add the detergent and/or additive. q Close the detergent dispenser. i DO NOT use chlorine bleach in this washing machine. q If it is necessary to use a detergent made for top loading washing machines, to avoid over sudsing, it is recommended that only ¼ to ½ (approx. 2-3 Tbl.) of the amount recom mended by the detergent manufacturer for top loading washing machines be used. Using this smaller amount may effect the cleaning perfo mance. The first time, start with ¼ of the rec ommended amount. Then, only if there is a low level of sudsing and your clothes are not getting clean, try a little more. q Pour liquid detergent into the appropriate dis pensing chamber. Too little detergent: The laundry is not cleaned properly and will, after a while, become grey and stiff. Greyish brown spots (fat globules) may appear on the laundry. The heaters may calcify. 12 Programs and Functions Select the desired program - see also the separate program overview.
