tergent but without any washing to clean the tub.
4.2.1. Loading the washing

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.

degree of soil of the laundry. Turn the programme selector
