When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin cycle speed is 800 rpm, and the load capacity is 2.0 kg or less.

CAUTION
Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.

STEP 6 Apply a proper detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” laundry detergent, which is designed for automatic washing machines.

NOTE

  • Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness, contact a local water authority.
  • Do not use detergent that tends to be hardened or solidified. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.

CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent.
If used with the WOOL cycle, powder detergent may remain on the laundry and discolor the laundry.

Laundry capsules
To get the best results from using laundry capsules, please follow these instructions.

  1. Put the capsule in the bottom of the empty drum towards the rear.

  2. Put the laundry in the drum on top of the capsule.
    CAUTION
    For cycles using cold water or cycles that complete in less than one hour, it is a recommended to use a liquid detergent.
    Otherwise, the capsule may not dissolve completely.
