4.2 OPENING THE DOOR
The appliance is fitted with a safety device which prevents the door from being opened while
the programme is in progress.
1.
Check that all the water has been drained from the tank and the drum is at a
standstill.
WARNING
If the washing programme is interrupted, it will be from 3 to 15 minutes before the door
can be opened, depending on the temperature reached inside the appliance.
WARNING
The water may still be boiling hot if the wash was at high temperature.
Do not open the door if there is still water in the drum!
4.3 LOADS OF WASHING
As far as possible,
to save electricity, it is more economical to wash complete
loads of
the
various types of fabric
. Shake out the washing before loading, and alternate large and
small items. It is best to weight the load the first few times, after which you will be able to rely
on your experience.
4.4 LOADING THE ITEMS FOR WASHING
1. Open the door and load the washing, distributing it evenly over the drum, with items
opened out and not bundled together; if possible, large and small items should be well
mixed.
2. The washing machine covered by this manual can be
loaded with up to 7kg
of
washing for each wash. If this weight is exceeded, the washing results will be poor
and the appliance may malfunction.
3.
To save energy it is more economical to wash full loads
of the various types of
fabric, following the guidance on quantities provided in the “Programmes Table” sup-
plied in this manual.
4. Close the door by pressing against the frame until you hear it click shut. Take care not
to trap items of washing between the door and the rubber gasket.
WARNING
If the door is not properly closed, a safety device prevents the washing machine from start-
ing.
Do not exceed the maximum load: overloading adversely affects washing results.
4.5 ADDING DETERGENT AND ADDITIVE
The internal tray comprises three compartments, marked with the symbols
prewash detergent
main wash detergent
for fabric conditioner, starch, additives, etc. (e.g. treatment products). The additives
are added to the washing tank automatically during the final rinse.
The main wash detergent compartment has a tang allowing the use of liquid detergent. To in-
sert it, pull it towards the front and then lower it.
