[. . . ] Press the “Start/Pause” button. This will remove any water remaining in the machine from the manufacturer’s test run.

Transport the washing machine upright. 23 PREPARING THE WASH 1. Sort the laundry according to: • Type of fabric / Care label symbol Cottons, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, handwashable textiles. • Colour Separate whites and coloured items. • Size Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribute the load more evenly inside the drum. • Fabric delicacy Wash delicate articles separately: use a special programme for Pure New Wool , curtains and other delicates. Always remove curtain glides or wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton bag. Use the special programme for handwash fabrics. Wash stockings, belts and other small items or articles with hooks (e. g. bras) in special cotton bags for washing machines or in zipped pillow cases. If you use water softeners, descaling agents and dyes, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use. • Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc. ). Do not wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids. 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): half the amount used for a full load; • 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 excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. If the appliance detects excessive foam it may prevent spinning. • The laundry will become grey if you use too little detergent. Too little detergent will also lead to increased scale deposits on the heating element and drum. • If using chlorine bleach, follow the bleach instructions carefully. Overdosing the bleach can damage the wash. • If the water pressure in your household is extremely low it is recommended to pour the detergent for the main wash directly on the drum.
