C

Load the drum

^

Press the

Door

button to open the

drum door.

^

Unfold the laundry and load loosely
in the drum. Mixing both large and
small items gives better wash results
and also helps distribute the load
evenly during spinning.

The most efficient use of energy and
water is achieved when a full load is
washed. However, do not overload as
this causes creases and reduces
cleaning efficiency.

Make sure that no garments are
caught between the drum door and
seal.

Shut the door with a gentle swing.
