Spirit vinegar
Spirit vinegar is used to prepare laundry for impregnation.
Impregnation products
Clothing can be impregnated evenly and durably by using
impregnation products in the washing machine.
Breathable weather gear such as GoreTex or SympaTex
should only be treated with special impregnation
products designed for them. Otherwise, there is a dan-
ger that the breathable membrane will be blocked.
Washing Advice
Sorting your laundry
Do not exceed the maximum load,
because overfilling affects the washing result and can lead
to fabric damage. Pay attention to the care symbols on
your fabrics.
Laundry bearing the following care symbol should not be
washed in the machine:
z Do not wash
Sort your laundry according to fabric and level of soiling.
Sort your laundry by colour. Wash white and coloured
laundry separately, or white washing will turn grey.
Do not wash new coloured fabrics with other laundry.
There is a risk the dye could run!
Knitwear made of or containing wool should be identi-
fied with the words «no felting», «non-felting» or «ma-
chine washable». Otherwise there is a risk your wool
could turn to felt in the wash!
Tips for washing
X Remove foreign bodies, e.g. safety pins, paperclips, co-
ins, etc. from your washing.
X Brush sand out of pockets and cuffs.
X Do up all zips, hooks and eyes and Velcro fastenings.
X Button up duvet covers and pillowcases and tie fabric
belts or apron strings together.
X Wash particularly delicate laundry, e.g. fine stockings
or curtains, or small items, e.g. socks or handkerchiefs, in
a laundry net or pillowcase.
X Turn trousers, knitwear or knitted textiles, e.g. jersey
underwear, t-shirts, sweatshirts, inside out.
X When washing bras, ensure that they are machine
washable.
Wash underwired bras in a fine laundry net, as the wires
may come loose during washing and can fall through the
holes in the drum and damage the machine.
Stain removal
Stains should be removed or at least pre-treated immedi-
ately if possible, or at least while they are still fresh.
Try first with soap and water. Do not rub the fabric, just
pat it.
Stubborn and dried in stains can sometimes only be re-
moved after washing several times or soaking.
Start-up
Install the machine according to the installation
instructions.
First wash cycle (without laundry)
Run the first wash cycle without laundry, to remove any
water remaining from testing during the manufacturing
process.
1. Check that the transport packaging on the rear of the
machine has been removed (see installation instructions).
2. Turn on the water supply.
3. Pull out the detergent drawer until it reaches its stop.
4. Add half a scoop of all purpose detergent to section II
(on the left).
Do not use gentle or wool detergent, because it will pro-
duce too much foam.
5. Select the «Coloureds 60°» button.
6. Press the start button. The programme should start.
7. After the end of the programme, the machine is ready
for use.
