Operating Sequence 3. Measure out the fabric softener Before the first wash, we recommend that you run a cotton cycle at 60°C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the machine. If required, pour fabric softener into the compartment marked (the amount used must not exceed the “MAX” mark in the drawer). Close the drawer gently. WASHING 4.
6. Start the machine Before starting up the machine check that: ■ the appliance is plugged in ■ the water supply taps are turned on ■ the drain hose is correctly and securely positioned ■ the door and the detergent dispenser drawer are closed. Depress the ON/OFF button : the mains-on light will illuminate and the machine starts operating. MAINS ON T0006 7. At the end of the programme The machine stops automatically.
4. Select the required option(s) WASHING 2 KG OF MIXED FABRICS AT 50°C Suppose you have 2 kg of Mixed fabrics to wash. They are rather delicate fabrics and should not be washed at a high temperature. Depress QUICK WASH and/or RINSE HOLD button, if required. 1. Load the laundry QUICK WASH RINSE HOLD Open the door by pulling the door handle outwards.

7. At the end of the programme The machine stops automatically. If you have depressed the RINSE HOLD button, the machine will stop with the water left in the drum, to prevent the fabric from creasing. To drain the water and spin, release the same button. To drain only, select programme 14. The door is controlled by a safety device which releases 2 minutes after the end of the programme. Switch the machine off by depressing the ON/OFF button again. The mains-on light goes out.
Washing Hints Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance.
Which detergent?.... And in which form? To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.
Wash Care Symbols Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results. The care labelling code is in line with care labelling used in the rest of Europe. The symbols used make it easy to select the correct programme on your washing machine.

Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply. Cleaning the drawer recess Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum. Descaling The water we use normally contains lime.
Clean carefully under a fast running tap. The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. ■ Turn off the water taps. ■ Unscrew the inlet hoses. ■ Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hoses in a bowl. Run the draining programme 14. ■ Disconnect the appliance. ■ Screw the inlet hoses and reposition the drain hose.
Something Not Working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below. IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
Symptom Possible causes The door will not open ■ ■ ■ The programme is still running. The door lock has not yet released. There is water in the tub Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin ■ The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.
