the hooks or put the curtains in awashing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance :– Laundry without hems or with cuts– Underwired bras.– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If thisoccurs, adjust manually the items inthe tub and start the spin phase again.

13.2 Stubborn stainsFor some stains, water and detergent isnot sufficient.We recommend that you remove thesestains before you put the items in theappliance.

Special stain removers are available. Usethe special stain remover that is applica-ble to the type of stain and fabric.

specially made for washing machines.• Do not mix different types of deter-

gents.• To help the environment, do not use

more than the correct quantity of de-tergent.

• Obey the instructions that you find onthe on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the typeand colour of the fabric, the pro-gramme temperature and the level ofsoil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not setthe prewash phase.

• If your appliance has not the deter-gent dispenser with the flap device,add the liquid detergents with a dos-ing ball.

13.4 Water hardnessIf the water hardness in your area is highor moderate, we recommend that youuse a water softener for washing ma-chines. In areas where the water hard-ness is soft it is not necessary to use awater softener.To know the water hardness in your area,contact your local water authority.Obey the instructions that you find onthe packaging of the products.Equivalent scales measure the waterhardness:• German degrees (°dH).• French degrees (°TH).

22 www.aeg.com

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter-national unit for the hardness of wa-ter).

• Clarke degrees.
