4.2. How to do a wash ?

Before the first wash in your washing machine, we recom-

mend that you should do a preliminary wash at 90°C with de-

tergent but without any washing to clean the tub.

4.2.1. Loading the washing

• Lift the machine cover.

• Open the drum by pressing on the locking button A; the

two flaps automatically separate.

• Insert the washing, close the drum and the cover of your

washing machine.

Warning : before you close the

cover of your washing machine,

make sure that the drum door is

properly closed:

•the two flaps latched together,

•the locking button A extended.

4.2.2. Proportioning of detergents

Your washing machine was designed to reduce water and

detergent consumption, therefore reduce the doses recom-

mended by detergent manufacturers.

Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash compartment

and into the prewash compartment if you chose the

«prewash» option. Pour in the softener into the compart-

ment and Javel water into the compartment if you wish.

If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the «de-

tergents and additives» section in the washing guide.

4.2.3. Choice of the temperature

Choose the wash temperature applicable for the selected

programme (using the information given in the programmes

table) and comply with the temperature shown on the care

label for each article to be washed (see the washing guide).

4.2.4. Choice of the pushbuttons

Press the chosen pushbuttons.

4.2.4.1. «Half load» pushbutton

This pushbutton allows to wash small quantity of linen not

much soiled (max. 2,5 kg) on cotton programmes only by re-

ducing the water quantity during rinsings.

4.2.5. Choice of the programme

Select the programme depending on the nature and the de-

gree of soil of the laundry. Turn the programme selector

clockwise to select the chosen programme.

4.2.6. Starting the programme

After you choose the washing programme, press the «On/

Off» pushbutton

to start the cycle.

4.2.7. End of the programme

When the chosen programme is over, the washing machine

stops automatically and the programme selector stays on a

stop position ( ) or on a rinse hold position ( ).

The programmes end :

• by a spinning (for all the cotton programmes).

• by a rinse hold (for all the synthetics programmes). You

can finish these programmes either by a spinning, either

by a draining, by selecting the spinning or the draining

programmes and taking care to release the on/off pus-

hbutton before doing your choice.

At the end of the cycle, allow the On/Off pushbutton

come out to switch the washing machine off. Release any

other pushbuttons that are pressed in. Pull out the electricity

plug and close the water supply tap.

Note: we recommend that you should leave the cover and

the drum open after use to air the washing drum.
