If not, see the "Transport protection" chapter. Checking water hardness Packing material Washer door The quantity of detergent required depends on water hardness, among other things. Phone your local Water Board to check the water hardness in your area. Sort waste in accordance with local guidelines. The washer door cannot be opened until the machine is connected to the electricity supply. To open the door manually, see the section entitled "The door will not open" in the "Troubleshooting" chapter. It is not possible to start the machine with the door open.

Laundry labels Sorting your laundry Sort items according to: · how soiled they are · colour · material Look at the item's laundry label. The table below indicates suitable wash programmes for various materials and wash loads. Coloured cotton · Do up zips so that they don't harm fabrics. · New coloured items may contain excess dye and should therefore be washed separately the first few times. · Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces the risk of burling and fading. · Empty pockets and wash them inside out if possible! Clothing Coloured cotton items labelled for hot washing (60°C) should be washed at 60ºC the first time in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not do so, there is a risk that the colour will run. Use detergent without bleach in order to preserve the colour of the fabric. Delicates Unbleached linen Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 60°C, using detergent containing no bleach or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen can occasionally be washed at higher temperatures, but not too often since the heat can destroy the linen's shine and strength. Laundry label symbols Laundry labels Material Cotton, linen, white and light-coloured items. Cotton, linen. Dark-coloured items. Polyester, cotton/polyester, nylon. White items. Rayon, acetate, acrylic. Non-colourfast items. Polyester, cotton/polyester, nylon. Coloured items. Silk and very delicate items Items labelled with the IWS or Superwash mark Programme White Cotton 60° to 95° Coloured Cottons 60° Synthetic 60° Synthetic 40° Synthetic 40° Synthetic 30° Wool/Hand 40° 1/3 Load 1/1 drum 1/1 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/3 8 These fabrics are sometimes labelled as machine washable and sometimes as hand wash. The machine's Wool/Hand programme is at least as gentle as washing by hand. Wool is especially sensitive to processes such as washing. If you do not want to spin it, you can squeeze out the water using terry towels. In this case select No spin. To find out how to select this setting, see the "Washing" chapter. However, most items can stand a short spin. Select short spin by selecting spin speed 800 rpm. Wool and silk Economy and efficiency You can save a lot of energy by not using more intensive programmes than necessary. · Select Quick if you just need to freshen up shirts or exercise clothes, for example. This will save both water and energy. · If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces energy consumption when drying in a tumble dryer or airing cupboard. Note! When using agents for bleaching or stain removal, there is a risk of rust (corrosion) and discolouration of the machine. Environmental concerns also lead us to discourage the use of strong chemicals. Artificial fibres and synthetic fibres These materials require plenty of room if they are not to become wrinkled. Only fill the drum half way when washing artificial or synthetic fibres. Select short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800 rpm. Note! Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet. 9 Washing 1 2 3 4 See the Advice and Tips section before washing. Sort your laundry Liquid detergent When using liquid detergent, follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations. Wash ball or net If you use a wash ball or net, place it directly in the drum and select a programme without pre-wash. Note! Detergent overdosing does not give better washing results, but merely causes a greater impact on the environment. Try to use less detergent, and increase only if you are not satisfied with the results. Fabric softener Pour the fabric softener into the compartment with the symbol. Use the dosage given in the recommendations on the fabric softener package. Note! Do not fill above the compartment's maximum fill level. Otherwise fabric softener will run in too early, which impairs the washing effect. Note! Empty pockets. Coins, nails and the like can cause damage to the machine and fabrics. Turn on the main power switch Open the washer door and load the washing If the door is closed, press the Key button (door open). The red field lights up and the door opens after a few seconds. Load the laundry. The laundry programme chart shows how much laundry can be washed with each programme. The detergent packaging will have recommendations for how much detergent you should use. The machine holds 6.0 kg of laundry. If you only have a small amount of washing in the machine, you can reduce the amount of detergent used. Powder detergent Pour the powder into the compartment for the main wash, and pre-wash as well if desired. Main wash Pre-wash Fabric softener Add detergent and fabric softener, as required 10 5 You can select a programme by turning the programme selector. A red field lights up beside the selected programme, and the estimated programme time is shown in the display window. Start by pressing the Start/Stop button, or go on to Options and Settings.

If you have small children or pets at home, close the washer door once you have removed the laundry. Once the programme has finished 13 Care and cleaning Checking the filter and drainage pump The washing machine has a filter, where coins, hairpins and the like can get caught. To clean the filter and drainage pump: 1. Make sure the machine is empty of water and that it is switched off at the mains. 2. Open the drainage pump hatch. Use the partition for the detergent compartment as shown in the picture. Cleaning the detergent compartment Pull the detergent compartment out as far as it will go. Then pull it up and out as shown in the illustration. Rinse the detergent compartment and brush it clean. 3. Drain out the water, into a bowl, for example, by unhooking the drainage hose from the pin inside the hatch. 4. Open the pump by screwing the cover anticlockwise. Remove the cover with the filter. Replace the compartment. Note! Do not run the detergent compartment through a dishwasher! Cleaning the outside of the machine Clean the outside of the machine and the programme panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use any solvents, as these can damage the machine. Note! Do not hose down or spray the machine with water. 5. Remove any objects or rubbish from the pump housing. Check to see that the pump blades, right at the back, will rotate. Cleaning the inside of the machine to avoid unpleasant smells 6. Screw on the cover and filter, replace the drainage hose on the hatch pin and close the hatch. Modern washing detergents often allow washing at low temperatures. This means, however, that small deposits can build up in the machine. These, in turn, may lead to unpleasant smells developing. To avoid this, we recommend running a 95° wash programme now and again. When you do this, use a small quantity of detergent. It is not necessary to put any actual washing in the machine. 14 If you think that objects such as nails, paper clips, needles or the like may have fallen into the wash drum, you should check under the agitator. Such objects can rust and cause spots on clothing. Nails and other sharp objects can cause holes in fabrics. Do as follows: 1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool. 2. Insert the screwdriver into the central hole on the agitator and twist the screwdriver handle gently to the left. 3. With your other hand, grasp the agitator and pull it towards you as shown in the illustration. 4. Lift the agitator. 5. Remove any objects. 6. Place the agitator in the mounting hole with the F-mark towards you. Ensure that all the agitator fasteners are in their holes in the drum. Push it away from you until it catches. If you live in an area with hard water, the washer drum may develop a greyish-white coating. To get rid of this, empty a sachet of citric acid, approximately 20 grams, into the washer drum and run the White Cotton wash at 95° C. You can find citric acid among the spices, etc. at your local supermarket. 2 1 Rinse holes under the agitator If you have hard water 15 Troubleshooting The washer door will not open 1.
