4.2. How to do a wash ?
Before the first wash in your washing machine, we recom-

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 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).

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.
4.2.4.2. "Spinning suppression" pushbutton
This pushbutton eliminates spin drying on Cotton program-
mes. They terminate then with a drain.
4.2.5. Choice of the programme

gree of soil of the laundry.

programme.

Off» pushbutton to start the cycle.
4.2.7. End of the programme
When the selected programme is over, the appliance stops
automatically and the timer knob stays on a stop-position
or on a rinse hold position .
The programmes end :
•
by a spinning (for the cotton programmes).
•
by a rinse hold (for the synthetics, delicate and wool pro-
grammes). You can finish these programmes by choo-
sing either the Spinning programme, either the Draining
programme taking care to release the on/off pushbutton
before doing your choice.
At the end of the cycle, release the on/off pushbutton to
switch the appliance off. Release any other pushbuttons that
are pressed in. Pull out the electricity plug and close the wa-
ter supply tap.

drum open after use to air the washing drum.
