7 BEFORE WASHING Before you start washing, here is some advice that can be useful. SORTING THE WASHING Sort garments in relation to: • How soiled they are • Colour • Material GARMENTS • Close zip-fasteners so that they do not chafe against other items.
Wool and silk Wool and silk are sometimes marked machine wash, and sometimes hand wash. The Wool and Hand wash programs of the machine are at least as gentle as washing by hand. Wool is particularly sensitive to mechanical processing. If you wish to avoid spin drying, you can press out the water instead using terry towelling.
FABRIC DYEING If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select Normal wash with the Super rinse option, Choose the temperature recommended by the dye manufacturer. If the fabrics to be dyed are cotton/polyester mixtures, you should select spin speed of 400- 800 revolutions/minute to spin the fabrics.
8 WASHING The following step-by-step instructions are pro- vided to help you to achieve the best possible washing result. SORT THE WASHING For tips and advice, see Chapter 7 – Befo- re washing. NOTE Empty the pockets. Coins, nails and similar items can cause damage to the machine and textiles.

10 CARE AND CLEANING CLEANING THE NEEDLE TRAP AND THE DRAIN PUMP The washing machine has a trap in which coins, hairpins and similar items fasten. Clean the need- le trap and the drain pump as follows: 1. Ensure that the machine is drained and the main power switch is turned OFF.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE TO PRE- VENT PROBLEMS WITH ODOUR Today’s modern detergents mean that washing at low temperatures is often sufficient. Howe- ver, this can result in small deposits forming inside the machine. These can eventually lead to odour problems.

Check the fuses in the house. Is the delayed start button pressed in? Interrupt the program by holding in the button for three seconds.
