Before Using Your Machine For The First Time; Asthma And Allergy Labelling - Asko Allergy W6888 Operating Instructions Manual

Before using your machine for the first time

Asthma and Allergy labelling

The washing machine you have purchased is
recommended by the Swedish Asthma and
Allergy Association (Astma- och Allergiförbundet),
which means that we offer allergy sufferers unique
possibilities. In order to optimise the results, you
must participate actively in its use. Below we offer
some simple advice that will become a natural
part of your use of our product, providing good
opportunities for minimising the potential effects
of handling washing.
• Choose a detergent recommended by the
Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association. Also
remember to use different detergents for
different types of washing. You can read more
about detergents in the "Advice and tips before
washing" and "Washing" chapters.
• In order to minimise the amount of excess
detergent left in clean washing, you must use
the right dose. To do this, you need to know
the water hardness in your area. We
recommend that you find out the local water
hardness and make a note of it in the detergent
recommendations in chapter "Advice and tips
before washing", so that you can always easily
check how much detergent to use. You can
read more about water hardness later in this
chapter.
• In order to wash at the right temperature and
to use the right detergent, it is important that
you correctly sort your washing. You can read
more about this in the "Advice and tips before
washing" chapter.
• This machine has two wash programs specially
adapted to the recommendations of the
Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association –
Allergy Cotton and Allergy Synthetic. These
programs differ from the other programs in
terms of recommended load, water
consumption, and energy consumption. You
can read more about this in chapter "Washing".
• To further improve rinse performance, you can
select the Super Rinse option. This option
increases the number of rinses; however, the
number of rinses varies depending on the
4
program selected. For more information, see
the chapter entitled "Select options".
• It is important to clean the detergent
compartment regularly. How often depends on
how much detergent and which type of
detergent you use. You can read more about
cleaning the detergent compartment in chapter
"Care and cleaning".
• In order to keep the machine in good condition,
and to prevent a build-up of excess detergent
and other residue in the machine, it is important
to clean the machine regularly. This washing
machine has a unique program for cleaning
the inside of the machine. We recommend
running the Cleaning program when the
machine is new and then once a month or as
often as you feel necessary. You can read
more about the Cleaning program in chapter
"Washing".
