Before using the machine for the first
time, ensure that it is correctly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection".
This washing machine has
completed a comprehensive
functional test. A small quantity of
water remains in the drum as a result.
For safety reasons, spinning is not
possible until the machine has been
prepared for using for the first time. To
activate the spinning function, you must
run a wash programme without laundry
and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an
excessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a wash programme, thus making
maximum use of the detergent.
