11. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
11.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry into: white,
coloured, synthetics, delicates and
wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first couple of times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty pockets and unfold.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.
• Pre-treat tough stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special
detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or
with cuts.
• Use a washing bag to wash small
and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired
bras, belts, tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading
to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and
open the door (refer to "Daily
Use" chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;
c. press the Start/Pause button.
The spin phase continues.
11.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
