As usual, Stan is insightful. My apartment has a Bauknecht washing
machine, for which the instruction manual is available only in German.
Even the importer could not get for me an English or Hebrew manual.
However, a very similar machine is rebranded as Whirlpool and sold in
the United States. The Whirlpool manual, in English, is also pertinent
to the Bauknecht washer.
