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 and Javel water 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.
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.
4.2.5. 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.
4.2.7. End of the programme
When the chosen programme is over, the washing machine
stops automatically and the programme selector stays on a
stop position ( ) or on a rinse hold position ( ).
The programmes end :
•
by a spinning (for all the cotton programmes).
•
by a rinse hold (for all the synthetics programmes). You can
finish these programmes either by a spinning, either by a drai-
ning, by selecting the spinning or the draining programmes
and taking care to release the on/off pushbutton before doing
your choice.
At the end of the cycle, allow the On/Off pushbutton to come
out to switch the washing machine off. Release any other
pushbuttons that are pressed in. Pull out the electricity plug
and close the water supply tap.
Note: we recommend that you should leave the cover and
the drum open after use to air the washing drum.
