5.3. Detergents and additives
5. WASHING GUIDE
Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a
washing machine. Read the manufacturer's instruc-
tions and respect sections 2.1 and 3.2.
5.1. Sorting and preparing your
washing
Powder detergents can be used without restriction; li-
quid detergents should be poured either in the propor-
tioning bowl directly in the drum, or in the wash
compartment provided that the washing machine is
started immediately; detergents in tablets or doses
must be put into the wash compartment of the deter-
gents dispenser in your washing machine.
The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the
amount of washing to be washed, the hardness of the
water and how dirty the washing is.
If the water is soft, you can reduce the doses slightly.
Increase the doses slightly if the water is hard (it is re-
commended to use a water softener) or if the washing
is very dirty or stained.
You can ask the water distribution company in your re-
gion or any other competent authority to find out the de-
gree of hardness of your water.
•
Sort the washing by type and care symbol (see
chapter 5.4: International symbols for care of texti-
les): normal wash for strong washing that can
resist energetic wash and spin; delicate wash for
delicate washing that should be treated more care-
fully. For mixed loads composed of articles of diffe-
rent types of fibers, choose a program and
temperature suitable for the most fragile fiber.
Wash white washing and color washing separa-
tely. Otherwise, the white washing may be colored
or look gray.
New clothes very often have too much color. Prefe-
rably wash new clothes separately for the first time.
Respect "wash separately" and "wash several
times separately" care instructions.
Empty pockets and spread out the washing.
Take off all loose buttons, pins and hooks and eyes.
Close zip fasteners, tie knots in laces and straps.
Turn clothes made of several layers of textiles (slee-
ping bags, anoraks, etc.), colored hosiery and wool
and textiles with add-on decorations, inside out.
Wash small delicate items (socks, tights, bras, etc)
in a washing net.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Treat curtains with special care. Remove curtain
hooks and put net curtains in a net bag or a sachet.
5.2. Washing load depending on the
nature of the material
The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must
not exceed the maximum capacity of your washing ma-
chine. This capacity may vary depending on the nature
of your textiles. Reduce the quantity of washing if it is
very dirty or if you have terry cloth type materials.
Not all textiles have the same volume and the same wa-
ter retention capacity. This is why in general the drum
should be filled:
•
completely, but without excessive pressure for cot-
ton and linen, and for mixed washe,
•
•
half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers,
about one third full for very delicate articles such as
net curtains and wool.
For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most
delicate material.

6.4. The drain filter
6. CARE AND CLEANING
Clean the filter at the bottom of the washing machine
regularly. The "filter"* light comes on if the filter is blo-
cked. In this case clean it immediately. If you wash
washing that is very fluffy, clean it after each wash.
Do not do any cleaning operation until you have
unplugged the washing machine.
6.1. Descaling the washing machine
•
Open the door, with a screwdriver for example:
Normally there is no need to descale the washing ma-
chine if the detergent was correctly proportioned.
If descaling is necessary, use a special non-corrosive
product specially designed for washing machines that
you can find in the shops. Respect the proportion and
frequency of descaling shown on your packaging.
6.2. The surface
Clean the surface of your washing machine using lu-
kewarm water and a mild detergent. Never use alco-
hol, solvents or similar products.
•
Drain residual water:
6.3. The detergents dispenser
Put a receptacle under the
drain. Turn the cap in the anti-
clockwise direction until it is
vertical to release residual wa-
ter.
From time to time, you must clean the detergents dis-
penser in order to eliminate the possible wastes of the
detergents and then to avoid an operating problem.
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove for a li-
ght cleaning.
Disassembly:
Press the clips on each side of
the detergents dispenser and
pull it upwards.
•
Remove the filter:
Unscrew the cap all the way
and take it off. Clean it tho-
roughly with running water.
Put the assembly back and
screw it in the clockwise direc-
tion.
You can thus clean it using
running water and a brush or a
twisted cloth. Check that the
siphons at the back of the de-
tergents dispenser are not
blocked.
After cleaning the filter, you are required to closed the
door. In fact, for reasons of safety, the door must be
closed when the appliance is working.
Reassembly :
Put the detergents dispenser in
the notches until they lock.
