Environmental and Economical Tips  
Energy and water consumption  
• Water consumption and energy usage can be affected by the weight  
of the load. To make the best use of your appliance, load the  
maximum amount of dry clothes for the particular programme.  
• Evenly loading laundry up to the capacity indicated by the  
manufacturer for the respective programmes will contribute to  
energy and water savings.  
• The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are  
generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer  
duration.  
• Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning  
speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the  
higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.  
• For washing smaller amounts of clothes, the automatic load  
recognition system will help reduce the amount of water and energy  
usage.  
• Use the Speed programme for small, lightly soiled loads for energy  
and water savings.  
• Cold water laundry detergents can be as effective at lower  
temperatures (about 20 ). Using 20 settings will use less energy  
than 30 or higher temperatures.  
Detergent  
• Detergent should be chosen according to type, colour, soiling of the  
fabric and the washing temperature. And it should be used according  
to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer. Use only  
detergents that are suitable for Drum (front load) type washers.  
• Use less detergent on smaller loads.

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT  
Selecting Extra Options and Functions  
• Select the water temperature suitable for the type of load you are  
washing. Follow the garment fabric care labels for best results.  
• The Pre Wash option is recommended for washing a heavily soiled  
load.  
Disposal of the Packaging Material  
• The packaging materials are designed to protect the appliance from  
unexpected damage during transportation.  
• After installing the appliance, dispose of the packaging waste  
according to recycling symbols of material types. Put the packaging  
waste in relevant containers to recycle it.  
Disposal of Your Old Appliance  
• This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste  
electrical and electronic products (WEEE) should be  
disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream.  
• Old electrical products can contain hazardous substances  
so correct disposal of your old appliance will help prevent  
potential negative consequences for the environment and  
human health. Your old appliance may contain reusable  
parts that could be used to repair other products, and  
other valuable materials that can be recycled to conserve  
limited resources.  
• You can take your appliance either to the shop where you  
purchased the product, or contact your local government  
waste office for details of your nearest authorised WEEE  
collection point. For the most up to date information for

OPERATION  
Preparing the Wash Load  
Sort the wash load for best washing results, and  
then prepare the clothes according to the symbols  
on their care labels.  
NOTE  
The dashes under the symbol give you  
information about the type of fabric and the  
maximum allowance of mechanical stress.  
Sorting the Clothes  
Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate  
clothes according to soil level. If possible, do not  
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled  
ones.  
Checking the Clothes before  
Loading  
To help distribute the load evenly during  
spinning, combine large and small items in a  
load.  
Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash dark or dyed  
clothes separately from whites or light colours.  
Mixing dyed clothes with light clothes can result  
in dye transfer or discolouration of lighter  
clothes.  
Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar  
items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance  
load.  
Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash separately  
lint producing fabrics from lint collecting fabrics.  
Lint producers can result in pilling and linting on  
the lint collectors.  
Check all pockets to make sure that they are  
empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches,  
pens, coins and keys can damage both your  
appliance and clothes.  
Checking the Clothes Care Label  
The symbols tell you about the fabric content of  
your garment and how it should be washed.

detergents that are suitable for Drum (front  
load) type washers.  
Minimum load: 1/3 of full load.  
If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent  
amount.  
Using the Dispenser  
To add detergent dosage to the dispenser:  
If too much detergent is used, too many suds  
can occur and this will result in poor washing  
results or cause heavy load to the motor.  
If you wish to use liquid detergent, follow the  
guidelines provided by the detergent  
manufacturer.

2
Open the dispenser drawer.  
Add the detergent and softener into the  
appropriate compartments.  
You can pour liquid detergent directly into the  
main detergent drawer if you are starting the  
wash cycle immediately.  
Do not use liquid detergent if you are using the  
Delay function, or if you have selected Pre Wash  
option, as the liquid will dispense immediately  
and may harden in the drawer or the tub.  
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for  
water temperature, water hardness, size and soil  
level of the load. For best results, avoid  
overdosing the detergent. Failing to do so will  
cause oversudsing.  
Refer to the label of the clothes, before adding  
the detergent and choosing the water  
temperature.

Liquid Detergent Attachments  
Use only suitable detergents for the respective  
type of clothing:  
Main wash detergent compartment  
Liquid fabric softener compartment  
Pre-wash detergent compartment  
-
Liquid detergent is often designed for special  
applications, e.g. for coloured fabric, wool,  
delicate or dark clothes.  
-
-
Powdered detergent is suitable for all types of  
fabric.  
3
Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer  
before starting the cycle.  
For better washing results of white and pale  
garments, use powdered detergent with  
bleach.  
Slamming the drawer closed may result in  
the detergent overflowing into another  
compartment or dispensing into the drum  
earlier than programmed.  
-
Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the  
beginning of the wash cycle.  
Be careful not to get a hand caught in the  
drawer while closing.  
NOTE  
It is normal for a small amount of water to  
remain in the dispenser compartments at  
the end of the cycle.  
Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may  
lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or  
odour.  
Fabric Softener Compartment  
Full load: According to manufacturer’s  
recommendation.  
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener,  
which is automatically dispensed during the final  
rinse cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric  
softener may be used.  
Part load: 1/2 of the normal amount.  
22  
OPERATION  
Pour fabric softener to the maximum fill line.  
Pouring excessive fabric softener over the  
maximum fill line can cause it to dispense too  
early, which may stain the clothes.  
NOTE  
Do not pour fabric softener directly onto the  
clothes in the wash drum, doing so will cause  
dark staining on the clothes that will be difficult  
to remove.  
Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent  
drawer for more than 1 day. Fabric softener may  
harden. Softener may remain in the dispenser if  
it is too thick. The softener should be diluted if  
the consistency is too thick so that it can flow  
easily.  
Do not open the drawer when water is being  
supplied during the wash.  
Solvents (benzene, etc.) must never be used.  
Adding Water Softener  
A water softener, such as anti-limescale can be  
used to cut down on the use of detergent in areas  
with high water hardness level.  
First add detergent, and then the water softener.  
Dispense according to the amount specified on  
the packaging.

Symptoms  
Possible Cause & Solution  
Wrinkling  
Appliance is overloaded.  
The appliance can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly  
packed with items. The door of the appliance should be closed easily.  
Hot and cold water supply hoses are reversed.  
Hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments. Check the supply hose  
connections.  
Spin speed may be too high.  
Set the spin speed to suit the garment type.  
Odour  
Symptoms  
Possible Cause & Solution  
Musty or mildewy  
odour in appliance  
Odours can occur if the drain hose is not properly installed, causing  
siphoning (water flowing back inside of the appliance).  
When installing the drain hose, make sure that it does not get kinked or  
blocked.  
If the detergent dispenser is not cleaned regularly, odours can occur  
from mold or foreign substances.  
Remove and clean the detergent dispenser, especially the top and bottom  
of the dispenser’s opening.
