INFORMATION!
Add powder or liquid detergents according to the manufacturer's instructions, considering the
washing temperature, washing program, how soiled the laundry is, and water hardness.
When excessive foaming occurs in the washing machine or foam spills through the dosing
container, the washed laundry must be thoroughly rinsed. Choose a washing programme with
a large amount of water without using detergent.
INFORMATION!
Maximum amount of laundry in kg (for the Cotton programme) is indicated on the washing
machine rating plate (see chapter »WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION/Technical information«).
INFORMATION!
Maximum or nominal load applies to laundry prepared pursuant to the IEC 60456 standard.
INFORMATION!
For better washing effect, we recommend loading the drum to 2/3 when using the cotton
programmes.
INFORMATION!
Low water temperature, low mains voltage and different washing loads may affect the washing
time; the remaining time displayed is adjusted accordingly during the washing process.
Time optimization during the programme progress
In the early stage of the washing programme, the washing machine uses advanced technology to
detect the amount of laundry. After load detection, the washing machine adjusts the programme
duration.
Washing programs with steam
Adding steam during the last washing step loosens the laundry, slightly disinfects it, and eliminates
some allergens. After using such a program, the laundry will be soft, supple, and fresh, and it will
require less ironing.
The use of steam (press the position 8) also allows omitting or reducing the amount of conditioner.
For a better steam effect on the laundry, we recommend half load.
AirDry function
(depending on the model)
AIRDRY is a function intended for drying the washing machine interior and dispenser without any
laundry in the appliance. The purpose of drying is to reduce and prevent the conditions for occurrence
of mould and development of microbes that cause unpleasant odours of the washed clothes.
We recommend running this function once per week. The drying procedure takes several hours but
uses little electricity.
When the AIRDRY process is completed, water droplets may still be present in the appliance or parts
thereof. This is completely normal. Efficiency of appliance interior drying depends on the relative
humidity in the room, amount of humidity remaining from the most recent wash, amount of clothes in
the most recent wash etc.
