INFORMATION!
Noise and vibration– make sure the appliance is levelled using the adjustable legs and that the jam nuts are securely tightened.
Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of laundry in the washing machine drum can cause problems such as vibration and noisy operation. The washing machine detects such problems and the UKS (stability control system) will be activated.
Smaller loads (e.g. one towel, one sweater, one bathrobe etc.) or clothes made of materials with special geometrical properties are virtually impossible to distribute evenly across the washing machine drum (slippers, large items etc.). This results in several attempts to redistribute the laundry, which in turn leads to longer programme duration. In extreme cases of unfavourable conditions, the programme can be completed without the spinning cycle.
The UKS (stability control system) allows stable operation and a longer washing machine useful life.
If the problems persist despite observing the advice above, call an authorized service technician.

Service

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING AND ECONOMIC USE YOUR WASHING MACHINE

Wash new coloured garments separately the first time.
Wash heavily soiled laundry in smaller amounts, with more powder detergent or with a pre-wash cycle.
Apply a special stain remover on stubborn stains before the wash.
With slightly soiled laundry, we recommend a programme without a pre-wash cycle, use of shorter programmes (e.g. FAST) and a lower washing temperature.
If you often wash laundry at low temperatures and with liquid detergents, bacteria may spawn which can cause odour in the washing machine. To prevent such odour, we recommend occasionally running the Drum clean (Self-cleaning programme) (see PROGRAMME TABLE).
We recommend avoiding washing very small amounts of laundry as this will lead to excessive use of energy and poorer washing machine performance.
Loosen any folded laundry before putting it into the drum.
Only use detergents for machine washing.
If water hardness exceeds 14°dH, water softener should be used. Heater damage resulting from incorrect use of water softeners shall not be covered by the warranty. Check the information on water hardness with your local water supply company or authority.
Use of chlorine-based bleaches is not recommended as they can damage the heater.
Do not add hardened lumps of powder detergent into the detergent dispenser as this may clog the piping in the washing machine.
When using thick liquid laundry care products, we recommend diluting them with water to prevent clogging the dispenser tray drain.
Liquid detergents are intended for washing programmes without a prewash cycle.
At higher spinning rates, there will be less residual moisture in the laundry. As a result, drying in a tumble dryer will be more economical and faster.

INFORMATION!
Check the information on water hardness with your local water supply company or authority.

1. A separator/divider tab is supplied with the washing machine, which allows adding liquid detergent to the main wash compartment  (left compartment).
2. Powder and liquid detergent level indicator
3. When using powder detergent, the separator/divider tab should be lifted.
4. When using liquid detergent, the separator/divider tab should be lowered.

Symbols of detergent dispenser compartments

| prewash
| main wash
| softening

INFORMATION!
We recommend adding powder detergent immediately before the washing cycle. If you add it sooner, make sure the detergent compartment in the dispenser tray is completely dry before adding the powder detergent: otherwise, the powder detergent may cake before the start of the washing process.
INFORMATION!
Pour the conditioner into the dispenser tray, into the compartment with the symbol . Observe the recommendation on the conditioner packaging.
INFORMATION!
Do not fill the conditioner compartment over the max. indication (maximum indicated level).
Otherwise, the conditioner will be added to the laundry too soon, leading to poorer washing effect.
