Description of the machine Display Soak The following functions are shown in the display: If a soak period has been selected, this is added to the programme duration in the display to give a total running time. – programme duration (Time left display) – delay start The delay start time selected will appear in the display. – programmable functions Programme duration When a programme has been selected, the maximum programme duration will appear in the display in hours and minutes.
Before using for the first time Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. See "Installation and connection". Also check that the fluff filter is securely tightened to prevent the risk of water leaks during use. For safety reasons spinning is not possible until the machine has been prepared for using for the first time. To activate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry and without detergent.
Washing environmentally and economically Energy and water consumption Detergent – Water consumption and energy usage are determined by the size of the load. To make the most out of your machine load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using. – Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. – Use the Automatic or the Quick wash programmes for small loads.
How to wash correctly Brief instructions The headings numbered A, B, C, . . . show the operating sequence and can be used as brief instructions. A Sort the laundry ^ Sort the laundry by colour and by care label. Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds separately.
How to wash correctly B Switch on the washing machine. D Select a programme C Load the drum ^ Press the Door button to open the drum door. ^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning. The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. Do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.
How to wash correctly Each press of the top button selects the EXTRAs in the following order: Intensive or Intensive and Pre-wash or Intensive and Soak or Pre-wash or Soak or no option. Use the lower button to select the Water plus EXTRA. ^ Select the Extras you want. Press the top button repeatedly until the indicator light for the extra option you want comes on. Not all the EXTRAs are suitable for selecting with every programme. Pressing the TEMPERATURE or SPIN button changes your selection.
How to wash correctly E Add detergent It is important to dispense the correct amount, because . . . . . . too little detergent results in: – Laundry not getting properly clean and over time becoming grey and hard to the touch. – Greasy particles clinging to the laundry. – Limescale deposits building up on the heater elements. . . . too much results in: – Excessive foam which causes a low level of agitation and poor wash, rinse and spin results.
How to wash correctly F Select Delay Start if using H Remove the laundry Delay start allows you to delay the start of a programme from 30 minutes up to a maximum of 24 hours, allowing you to make use of night-time economy electricity rates, for example. The Anti-crease/Finish indicator lamp will flash at the end of the programme. ^ Press the Delay start button.
