Washing

Open the door and put the laundry

into the drum.

For details about preparing and sorting

the laundry, see pages 7, 16, and 17.

Caution

Make sure to place the laundry

within the drum so that it does not

get caught in the door.
Failure to observe this may

result in damage to the door seal,

leading to malfunctions.
Do NOT overload the drum.

This may cause excessive vibration

or damage to the appliance.

Correct

Incorrect

Note

When loading a big amount of laundry,

make sure to evenly distribute the

laundry throughout the drum.

Close the door and press the On

button.

The “Panasonic” logo will be displayed

in the display for about 2 seconds.

Turn the programme selection dial

either way to select the programme.

A wash time will be displayed.

15°C Wash programme

This programme achieves the same

cleaning strength with 15 °C low-

temperature washing as 40 °C programme

(except for greasy filth).

Select optional functions.

For details and setting procedures for

each function, see pages 22-26.
For more details about available

functions and settings for each

programme, see pages 18-19.

Add detergent to the detergent

drawer.

(See pages 10-11.)

Press the Start button.

After the appliance starts, the wash load

is assessed. Calculations of assessed

wash loads are based upon normal

clothing volumes. Actual results may

vary to some degree due to differences

in types and sizes of clothing.

After about 30 seconds, a new wash

time is displayed and water begins to

flow in.
