4.2 Preparation

4.2.1 Sorting the laundry

•  Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.

•  Always observe the instructions given on the garment care labels.

4.2.2 Preparing laundry for washing

•  Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwiring, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the 

machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash such clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.

•  Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and 

brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.

•  Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.

•  Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.

•  Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.

•  Wash “Machine washable” or “Hand washable” labelled products only with an appropriate programme.

•  Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them 

separately.

•  Tough stains must be treated properly before washing.

•  Only use the dyes / colour changers and descaling agents which are appropriate for machine wash. Always 

follow the instructions on the package.

•  Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.

•  Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in a plastic bag in the freezer for a few hours before washing. 

This can reduce piling. 

•  Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken 

off before placing into the product. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts 

of the product in time and can cause damage.

4.2.3 Tips for energy and water saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy/water-efficient manner.

•  Operate the product in the highest load capacity allowed for the programme you have selected, but do not 

overload. See, "Programme and consumption table".

•  Observe the temperature instructions on the detergent packaging.

•  Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures.

•  Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly soiled laundry.

•  Do not use prewash and high temperatures for laundry that is not heavily soiled or stained.

•  If you plan to dry your laundry in a dryer, select the highest spin speed recommended during washing 

process. 

•  Do not use more detergent than the recommended on the detergent packaging.

4.2.4 Loading the laundry

1. Open the loading door.

2. Put the laundry items into the product in a loose manner.

3  Push the loading door to close until you hear a locking sound. Ensure that no items are caught in the door. 

The loading door is locked while a programme is running. The door lock will open immediately after the 

washing programme has ended. Then you can open the loading door. If the door does not open, apply the 

solutions provided for "Loading door cannot be opened." error in the Troubleshooting section.

4.2.5 Correct load capacity

The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the desired washing 

programme.

The machine automatically adjusts the water amount according to the weight of the laundry put inside it.
