Hints & Tips

Sorting the laundry

●

Do not allow moist laundry to lay for any longer period
of time. Moist laundry becommes mouldy and begin 
to smell. The mould stains can not be removed.

●

It’s not recommended to mix coloured with white 
materials.

●

New coloured garments often contain surplus dye. It 
is best to wash such items separately the first time.

●

Linen can be washed as ”cotton” or ”synthetic” but 
spin only briefly otherwise the fibres will brake. 

●

Iron free materials such as polyester/cotton should be
washed as ”synthetic”.

●

Fragile materials such as acrylic and most curtains 
should be washed as ”delicate”.

●

The wool programme is specially designed for garments
made from 100%, new wool with the label ”Machine 
washable”. Other types of wool and mixtures can 
shrink, or mat if machine washed. 

●

Treat diffucult stains such as grass, rust, tar, paint 
and ink before washing. To remove stains from paint 
can solvents like terpentine be used. In this case the 
garments must be rinsed thoroughly before they can 
be washed in the machine. 

The manufacture is not responsible for any damage 
caused by the use of any solvents or flammable 
substanses. 

Temperatures

●

We recommend that you wash white cotton at 60°C 
instead of 90°C.

●

Never wash linen at any temperature higher then 
60°C, because the fabric then becommes burled.

●

Fast coloured garments normally requires 60°C, but 
if the garments are not heavily soilded, they will be 
clean at 40°C.

●

White and coloured synthetic materials can normally 
be washed at 60°C, but often it’s enough with 40°C, if
the garments are not heavily soilded.

●

Non-fast coloured garments and fragile materials 
should never be washed at any temperature higher 
then 40°C.

Allways check the care label, so that the garment
is washed at the right temperature. The garment
can be discoloured if it’s washed at a higher
temperature then what is recommended. 

How much laundry per load?

Since it’s difficult to weigh the laundry we suggest that
you appriciate the weight by looking to see how full the
drum is. 

Cotton and linen:

Full drum, but not too tightly packed.

Not fragile synthetic materials: 

No more then 2/3 of

the drum.

Fragile materials, delicate wash and wool: 

No more

then half full drum.

Before loading the laundry into the machine: 

●

All tears and holes repaired.

●

Lose buttons resown. 

●

Zips are done up.

●

Empty and close all pockets. Objects such as coins, 
safety pins, nails, screws and other hard objects can 
cause serious damage to the machine and the laundry.

These types of damages are not covered by guarantee.

Descaling

If your water supply is harder than 7° dH, you should de-
scale your washing machine at least once every three
months.

1. Use approx. 150 ml of citric acid instead of de-

tergent.

2. Run the wash programme with  the highest 

temperature without any laundry.

Limescale deposits on components such as
the machine's heating element will reduce
their service life. 

Contact your water company to find out the
hardness level of your local water supply.
