Main wash
Auto half load
The washing machine is fitted with a self adjusting water level system. This system
enables the machine to use the optimum amount of water needed to wash and rinse
the laundry in relation to the particular load. This results in a reduction of the water
and electricity used without in any way compromising the washing and rinsing
performance.
In fact, the amount of water and electricity used will always be appropriate for the
clothes load.
The washing machine automatically ensures excellent washing results at minimum
cost whilst respecting the environment.

Sorting the laundry
– It is recommended you wash only items which are washable with water and
detergent and not dry-clean items.
– If you need to wash rugs, bedspreads or other heavy items, it is best not to spin
them.
– Sort the laundry according to fabric type, degree of soiling and wash temperature:
follow the labelling on the garments
.
Examples:
Laundry for hot wash
Coloured, easy-care materials
Delicates and wool
– Items labelled with the following symbols are not suitable for machine washing:
Wash by hand
Dry clean
For very delicate items, such as net curtains, underwear, tights etc., you are
advised to use a laundry net or wash bag.
– Woollen items must be labelled with the “Pure New Wool” symbol if they are to be
washed in the machine, and must also be labelled “non-matting” or “machine
washable”. Please check the laundry item for the label.
– Colour often leaks from new coloured items.
This can then colour other lighter items being washed.
We therefore recommend that coloured items should be washed for the first time
separately.
For future washes, non colourfast items can only be washed with white laundry up
to 40°C.
Do not wash
