Proportioning of detergents
How to run a wash cycle?
Using for the first time
Your washing machine has been desi-
gned to reduce your water and deter-
gent consumption. You can therefore
reduce the amounts recommended by
detergent manufacturers.
• Ensure the electrical and water con-
nections comply with the installation
instructions.
• Remove the polystyrene insert and
all other items inside the drum.
• Run an initial wash cycle at 90°C,
without any washing but with deter-
gent to clean the water tank.
Pour the amount of washing powder into
the washing
and prewash
com-
partments if you have selected the
“prewash” option. Pour fabric softener
into the compartment if necessary
If you use another detergent type, refer
to the section “detergents and
additives” in the washing guide.
.
Selection of desired programme
You can find the right programme for
different types of washing in the
programme table (see “Programme
table”).

12 washing guide
Wash loads depending on type of
materials
Washing guide
The amount of washing placed in the
drum must not exceed the maximum
capacity of the washing machine. This
capacity can vary depending on the type
of materials. Reduce the quantity if
washing is heavily soiled or made of ab-
sorbant material.
Not all textiles have the same volume in
the drum or the same water absorption
levels. In general, the drum must there-
fore be filled :
• to full capacity but avoiding exces-
sive pressure on cotton, linen and
cotton/linen mixtures,
• to half capacity for processed cot-
tons and synthetic fibres,
Sorting and preparing the washing
• Sort washing by type and care label
(refer to International symbols section
below) : normal wash for tough
fabrics which can withstand intense
washing and spinning cycles ; deli-
cate wash for delicate fabrics which
need to be treated with care. For
mixed loads, loads with items of dif-
ferent types of material, choose a
programme and a temperature suita-
ble for the most fragile material.
• Wash whites and colours separately :
Otherwise, whites will be coloured or
will turn grey.
• New coloured clothes often contain
excess dye. It is recommended to
wash such items separately the first
time. Follow care instructions “wash
separately” and “wash separately
several times”.
• Empty pockets and unfold items.
• Remove loose buttons, pins and fas-
teners. Close zip fasteners, tie ups
laces and straps.
• to a third of its capacity for very fra-
gile items such as net curtains and
woollens.
For mixed loads, fill drum depending on
most fragile materials.
Detergents and additives
Only use detergents and additives desi-
gned for use in a washing machine. Re-
fer to manufacturer’s recommendations
and also Dispenser box and Using the ri-
ght amount of detergent sections.
We do not recommend mixing different
types of detergents. This may spoil the
washing.
The amount of detergent to be used de-
pends on the size of the load, the hard-
ness of the water and how heavily soiled
the washing is.
If the water is soft, reduce the amount
slightly. If the water contains lime scale
(a descaler is recommended) or if the
washing is heavily soiled or stained, in-
crease the amount slightly.
• Turn multilayered fabrics (sleeping
bags, anoraks, etc.), coloured head-
wear, wool and material with printed
designs inside out.
• Wash small fragile items (socks,
tights, bras, etc) in a net bag.
• Take special care with curtains.
Remove hooks and place net cur-
tains in a net or bag.
