Using your appliance

The very first time that the machine is used you should
run a wash programme with no load in the drum, to
clear any residues which may have been left by the
manufac-turing process. Pour approx. 100 ml of
detergent straight into the drum and run programme
G, 40° C. When the programme has ended the
machine will be ready for use.

Loading the machine

Pull the door latch gently to open the door. Put the
items to be washed inside the drum. Large and small
items can be mixed. Try always to wash full loads,
for maximum load weights see the programme charts.
You should only reduce the load weight for heavily-
soiled items and sensitive fabrics.
One way of achieving the maximum load size is to
fill the drum with dry items, but without forcing them
in. Another way is to weigh the first loads you wash,
so you learn to estimate the right load size. Close
the machine door.

Adding detergent and fabric conditioner

The amount of detergent you use has an impact on
the performance of any washing machine. Both too
much and too little can cause problems. Use only
detergent for automatic washing machines and follow
the manufacturer's instructions when measuring the
quantity. Increase the quantity of detergent if the load
is heavily soiled or if you have a hard water supply.
Decrease the amount for lightly soiled items or less
than a full load. Excessive foaming may indicate you
have used too much detergent.
The detergent dispenser is used for fabric conditioner
and detergent for the main wash. Put the detergent
in the larger compartment on the left (Fig 1) and the
fabric conditioner in the smaller one on the right (Fig. 2).
Never fill the compartment for fabric conditioner higher
than the maximum level marked on it. If using pre-wash,
add the detergent for this straight into the drum.

Starting the machine

Before starting the programme, check:

• that the door is closed

• that the machine is plugged in and switched on at

the wall socket

• that the machine's water supply is turned on

Set the temperature (Fig. 3), select the programme
(Fig. 4) and press any option buttons you require.
Then press the ON/OFF button to start the wash.
The indicator light will come on and after 5 seconds
the door locks shut electrically and the machine starts
working.
