underwired bras, belts, tights,

• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading
to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the program 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.
• Avoid washing garments full of long
animal hair or poor quality garments
releasing lots of fluff that could block
the drain circuit and therefore
requiring the Service assistance.
• Make sure that you wash lint
collectors separately from lint
producer.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts,
cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any
other loose elements.
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
• The recommended loads for each
program are indicated in the program
chart. Washing a maximum load
makes the most efficient use of water
and energy. For heavily soiled
laundry, reduce the load size.
13.2 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.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
Do not spray stain remover on garments
near the appliance as it is corrosive to
the plastic parts.
13.3 Detergents type and
quantity of detergent
Low sudsing detergent is required for this
washing machine to prevent oversudsing
problems, unsatisfied washing result and
harm to the appliance. Low sudsing
detergents designed for front load
washing machines are labelled "Front
loading", "high efficiency", "HE" or
"Matic".
Do not use wrong types of detergent,
such as Top Loading, Handwash
detergent or Soap-Based products in
your front-load washing machine. This
can result in excessive suds, longer
cycle time, low spin speeds, poor
rinsing and overloading of the motor
and, in extreme cases, suds flowing
out of the appliance with symptoms
similar to water leak.
Quantity of detergent to be
used
The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents
contain substances which in large
quantities can upset the delicate balance
of nature.
The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on:
• type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc);
• the colour of clothes;
• size of the load;
• degree of soil;
• wash temperature; and
