Removing the packaging and inspection • After unpacking, make sure that the washerdryer is undamaged. If in doubt do not use the washer-dryer. Contact After-Sales Service or your local retailer. • Keep the packaging material (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc. ) out of the reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. 5. Drain • Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a sink with the “U” bend (see “Installation/Connecting the water drain hose”). [. . . ] Note: use only specific detergents for washing wool. • colour; • wash temperature; • degree and type of soiling. Notes: Whitish residues on dark fabrics are due to the insoluble water softeners in modern phosphatefree detergents. If you notice this problem, shake or brush the affected items, or use a liquid detergent. Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children. Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines. If you use descaling agents or dyes make sure they are suitable for washing machine use. Descalers could contain products which could damage your washer-dryer. Do not wash fabrics which have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids in the washer-dryer. Dosage Follow the instructions on the detergent pack in relation to: • the degree and type of soiling; • the size of the load: • full load: follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions; • half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load; • minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used for full load; 6 3Gb20105. fm5 Page 7 Thursday, February 28, 2002 4:33 PM Home Appliances • water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company): soft water requires less detergent than hard water. Notes: Too much detergent can result in excessive foam. If the washerdryer detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning. Using insufficient detergent results in grey laundry and increased scale deposits on the heating element and drum. You can use liquid detergent in the “Prewash” phase for programmes with this option. In this case only use powder detergents for the main wash . When using concentrated fabric softeners, add water in the detergent dispenser up to the “MAX” level mark. To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball supplied with the detergent and place it inside the drum.
