3. HOW TO DO A WASH?
Before the first wash in your washing machine, we re-
commend that you should do a preliminary wash at
90°C with detergent but without any washing to clean
the tub.
3.1. 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 exten-
ded.
3.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine was designed to reduce water
and detergent consumption, therefore reduce the do-
ses recommended by detergent manufacturers.
Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash com-
partment and into the prewash compartment if
you chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener
into the compartment if you wish.
If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the
«detergents and additives» section in the washing
guide.
3.3. Choice of the required program
The programs table will tell you which is the appropriate
program for your washing type (see § 4).
Put the program selector
onto the required program.
3.4. Choice of the spinning speed
The maximum spin speed is de-
fined as a function of the type of
washing and depending on the
selected program.
However, you can reduce the
speed or choose the rinse hold
«
» or drain «
» positions.
These speeds can vary as
shown on the table below:
3.5. Choice of the required option
The various options
should be chosen after
the program has been
displayed and before
pressing the Start/Pause
«
» pushbutton.

chosen program, the corresponding light will flash for a
few seconds.
