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.
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).
4.2.4. Choice of the pushbuttons
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. «Rinse hold» pushbutton
If you use this pushbutton, the tub remains full of water at the
end of the last rinse to prevent the washing from becoming
creased if it is not taken out of the drum as soon as the
washing machine is stopped.
4.2.4.3. Control lamp
The control lamp illuminates when the appliance is working
(ON/OFF pushbutton pressed on). It extinguishes when the
ON/OFF pushbutton is pressed off.
4.2.5. Choice of the programme
Select the programme depending on the nature and the de-
gree of soil of the laundry.
Turn the programme selector clockwise to select the chosen
programme.
4.2.6. Starting the programme
After you choose the washing programme, press the «On/
Off» pushbutton to start the cycle. The corresponding con-
trol lamp illuminates.
