Before Washing for the First Time
0 1. Pull the detergent drawer out from the control panel a little.
2. Pour around 1 litre of water into the washing machine via the deter-
gent drawer. This will ensure when the washing machine is started that
the water container is closed and that the ECO valve can function cor-
rectly.
3. Perform a washing cycle without any washing (MAIN WASH 95, with
half the normal dose of detergent).
This serves to remove residues resulting from production of the appli-
ance from the drum and the water container.
Prepare washing cycle
Sort washing and prepare
• Sort washing according to care symbol and type (see "Washing types
and care symbols").
• Empty all pockets.
• Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
• In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing,
close zippers, button up duvets and pillow cases, and tie up loose
ends from, for example, aprons.
• Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks etc.).
• Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and textiles with appliqués
should be turned inside out.
• Place small and delicate articles (baby booties, stockings, bras etc.)
into a washing net, a pillow case with zipper, or in large socks before
washing.
• Treat net curtains particularly carefully. Remove metal curtain rail
rollers or burred plastic rollers, or wrap these in a net or bag.
We cannot accept any liability for damage.
• Do not wash coloured and white washing together. White washing
will otherwise turn grey.
• New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these
items separately the first time.
