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.
Put the powder detergent dose into the wash compartment
and into the prewash compartment
if you chose the
«prewash» option. Put the softener 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 spinning speed
Choose the spinning speed which corresponds to the nature
of your laundry and to the degree of humidity wished at the
end of the wash.
The knob indicates the possible spinnings on the coton pro-
grammes. These spinnings are reduced for the synthetics,
wool and delicate cycles.
4.2.4. Choice of the temperature

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).

Press the chosen pushbuttons.
4.2.5.1. «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.

This option adds more water in rinses on Cotton programs.

gree of soil of the laundry. Turn the programme selector
