2. Pre-bleach method: Laundry with heavy stains may be PRE-BLEACHED in the machine prior to carrying out a normal wash programme. Proceed by diluting the bleach in approximately 1l water outside of the washing machine in a small container.
For a machine with temperature selector:
� Turn the programme selector to programme 4. � Turn the temperature selector to Min. Warning: Bleaching is only possible in a cold wash, otherwise your laundry and your appliance will be damaged.
For a machine without temperature selector:
� Turn the programme selector to programme 5. � Press the special option button �cold wash� (if available). Warning: Bleaching is only possible in a cold wash, otherwise your laundry and your appliance will be damaged. Poor the diluted bleach into chamber and start the machine. After this pre-bleach wash, do a normal wash, in which more not bleachable laundry can be added. Add detergent into chamber and start a wash programme. For this subsequent wash a lower temperature wash programme (for example 40° C) can be sufficient because of the pre-bleach treatment. In this way energy can be saved.
Note:
Bleach should only be used with bleachable fabrics.
DYEING
Commercially available products usually consist of a dye colour, fixing agent and salt. Pour the dye colour, fixing agent and salt directly into the empty drum, and only then load the laundry. � Only use products designed for use in washing machines. � Follow the manufacturer�s instructions. � Plastic and rubber components of the machine can be stained by dyes.
