Description of the washing machine
Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sort items according to:
how soiled they are
colour
material
Clothing
1.
Do up zips and close Velcro straps so that they
don’t harm fabrics.
2.
New coloured items may contain excess dye
and should therefore be washed separately
the first few times.
3.
Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces
the risk of burling and fading.
4.
Empty pockets and wash them inside out if
possible.
Laundry labels
Look at the item's laundry label. The table below
shows suitable wash programs for different
materials and wash loads. Using modern washing
machines and detergents, for example compact
detergents, you can usually wash at lower
temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and
error to find out what produces the best results.
Laundry label symbols
Examples of washing instructions and recommended programs. Always follow the washing instructions
for each garment.
LoadProgramMaterialLaundry labels
1/1 drumColour/White 60 °C to 95 °CCotton, linen, white and light-coloured items.
1/1 drumQuick 60 °CCotton, linen, cotton/polyester. Light and
dark-coloured garments.
1/1 drumSynthetics 40 °CPolyester, polyamide, elastane, acrylic. Light
and dark-coloured garments.
1/2 drumEasy Care 40 °CAcrylic, viscose, modal, acetate.
1/3 drumSynthetics 30 °CSilk and very delicate items
1/3 drumWool/Hand 30 °C to 40 °CWool and other very delicate garments
Coloured cotton
Coloured cotton items with the washing instruction
60 °C should be washed at 60 °C for the first time
in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not
do so, there is a risk that the colour will run. Use
detergent without bleach in order to preserve the
colour of the fabric.
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 60
°C, using detergent containing no bleach or optical
whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen can occasionally
be washed at higher temperatures, but not too
often because the heat can destroy the linen’s
shine and strength.
8
Advice and tips before washing
Wool
These fabrics are labelled either machine wash
or hand wash. The Wool program is at least as
gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is especially sensitive to processes such as
washing.
If you do not wish to spin dry, you can squeeze
out the water using terry towels. In this case select
No spin.
To find out how to choose this setting, see the
"Washing" chapter. However, most garments can
withstand a short spin. Choose a short spin by
selecting a spin speed of 800 rpm or less.
Rayon fibres and synthetic fibres
Materials made of rayon fibres, such as viscose,
and some synthetic fibres are very delicate and
require much space so as not to crease. Only half
fill the drum when washing and choose a spin
speed of 800 rpm or lower.
NOTE!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
Stain removal
The automatic stain program can be used for the
following types of stains: Chocolate, Blood, Red
wine, Egg, Grass, Diary products, Tea/Coffee,
Fat stains grease/oil and Blueberry. The program
is suitable for cotton, cotton/synthetics and
synthetics.
NOTE!
For stain removal it is always important to treat
the stain as soon as possible. Leaving a stain
and allowing it to dry makes it more difficult to
remove. It is also important to carefully scrape
off any of the stain lying on the surface. Do not
load the machine with more than 2,5 kg of
laundry.
Reducing allergic reactions
The washing machine has a Super Rinse option.
Use this for people with sensitive skin, such as
those with allergies and small children.
Save time and energy
Use the Colour/White program to save time and
energy. This program has a shorter main wash
than Normal, but is often sufficient for lightly soiled
washing.
High water level
If you want more water for the main wash and
rinses, you can use the High water level option.
This is automatically selected in the Wool/Hand
program.
Economy and efficiency
You can save energy by not using higher
temperature programs than necessary.
Select Quick if you just need to freshen up
shirts or exercise clothes, for example. This
will save both water and energy.
If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces
energy consumption when drying in a tumble
dryer or drying cabinet.
Always wash with a full load when using the
Heavy, Colour/White and Normal programs.
Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and
detergents clean effectively without
pre-washing. Pre-washing is only necessary
for heavily soiled washing.
Detergents
Eco-labelled detergents are less harmful to the
environment.
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater impact
on the environment; can also hinder the wash
performance.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only if you
are not satisfied with the results.

Advice and tips before washing
Dyeing fabrics
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select
the Colour/White program with the Super Rinse
option. Select temperature according to the dye
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Choose a low spin speed if the fabric to be dyed
is a blended material such as
polyester/cotton.
NOTE!
Add the dye directly to the washing drum not
to the detergent compartment. After dyeing, you
should run the machine empty using the same
program. Use the normal amount of detergent.
NOTE!
Due to environmental concerns, we discourage
the use of strong chemicals.
When using agents for bleaching or stain
removal, there is a risk of rust (corrosion) and
discolouration of the machine.
10
Advice and tips before washing
1
Sort your laundry.
See the "Advice and Tips before washing"
section.
Place underwired bras in a laundry net.
Empty pockets. Coins, nails and the like can
cause damage to the machine and fabrics. See
the "Advice and Tips" section before washing.
2
Turn on the main power switch
3
Open the washer door and load
the washing
If the washer door is closed, press the Door
opening button (key symbol). The door opens
once all water has drained from the machine.
Load the washing. The wash program chart shows
how much washing can be washed with each
program.
4
Add detergent and fabric
softener, as required
The detergent packaging will have
recommendations for how much detergent you
should use. The machine holds 7 kg of washing.
If you only have a small amount of laundry in the
machine, you can reduce the amount of detergent
used.
Powder detergent
Pour the powder into the compartment for the
main wash, and pre-wash as well if desired.
Liquid detergent
When using liquid detergent, follow the detergent
manufacturer’s recommendations. We
recommend always using a wash ball with very
thick liquid detergent.
Wash ball or net
If you use a wash ball or net, place it directly in
the drum and select a program without pre-wash.
NOTE!
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment; can also hinder the
wash performance.
Try using less detergent, and increase only if
you are not satisfied with the results.
Fabric softener
Pour the fabric softener into the compartment with
the symbol. Follow the recommendations on
the fabric softener packaging.
NOTE!
Do not fill above the compartment’s maximum
fill level. Otherwise fabric softener will run in too
early, and will impair washing results.

Cleaning the trap and the drainage
pump
The washing machine has a trap where smaller
objects such as coins and hairpins can collect.
To clean the trap and the drainage pump, do as
follows:
1.
Make sure the machine is empty of water and
switched off at the mains.
2.
Open the door.
3.
Unhook the drainage hose from the connector
inside the door and drain the water into a
suitable container, such as a shallow bowl.
4.
Turn the cover anti-clockwise to open the
pump. Remove the cover.
5.
Remove any items and so forth from the pump
housing and the cover. Also check that the
pump blades right at the back rotate.

Cleaning the detergent
compartment
NOTE!
Do not wash the detergent compartment or the

compartment
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the program
panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use any
solvents, as these can damage the machine.
NOTE!
Do not hose down the machine with water!
Cleaning the inside of the machine
to avoid unpleasant smells
Modern detergents often allow clothes to be
washed at low temperatures. This means that
small deposits can build up in the machine. These,
in turn, may lead to unpleasant smells developing;
especially if constantly using cold wash.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 95 °C
wash program once a month. When you do this,
use a small quantity of detergent. It is not
necessary to put any washing in the machine.
21
Care and cleaning
Rinse holes under the agitator
If you suspect that objects such as nails or paper
clips may have fallen into the wash drum, you
should check the space under the agitator. Such
objects can rust and cause spots on clothing.
Nails and other sharp objects can cause holes in
fabrics.
Do as follows:
1.
Insert a screwdriver or the like into the hole on
the agitator as illustrated and carefully pry to
the left.
2.
Use your other hand to grasp the agitator and
pull it towards you.
3.
Lift the agitator.
4.
Remove any objects.
5.
Place the agitator in the mounting hole with the
F-mark towards you. Ensure that all the agitator
fasteners are in their holes in the drum. Push
it in until it catches.
If you have hard water
If you live in an area with hard water (high
limescale content), a greyish-white coating may
form on the wash drum. To remove this coating,
pour approximately 20 gram of citric acid into the
wash drum and run any 95 °C program. Repeat
if necessary.
22
Care and cleaning
The washer door will not open
1.
Check that the main power switch is on.
2.
Is there power? Check your home’s fuses
(circuit breakers). The washer door cannot be
opened with the Door opening button (with the
key symbol) if power is off.
If nothing else works, the washer door can
be opened as follows:
WARNING!
The door may only be opened manually if the
electric power is cut and the machine has
been drained of water.
A
Run the Drain program to empty the water
from the machine. If this does not work the
machine must be drained manually. See
"Cleaning the trap and the drainage pump"
in the "Care and cleaning" chapter.
If this does not work the machine must be
drained manually. See "Cleaning the trap
and the drainage pump" in the "Care and
cleaning" chapter.
B
Ensure that the main power switch is turned
off and that the plug has been removed from
the wall socket.
C
Take the emergency door opening tool and
place it in the gap on the right side of the
washer door lock. This tool is found in the
enclosed plastic bag.
D
Push the tool upwards to open the washer
door.
If in the future the washer door does not open
when the wash program has finished, call the
service division.
The machine will not start
1.
Is the washer door properly closed? Push it
firmly.
2.
Is there power? Check the fuses and residual
current devices (circuit breakers) in the
building.
