Running a wash cycle
Opening the door/loading washing
1.
Open the door: pull the handle on the door.
When the appliance is switched on, the DOOR and START/PAUSE indica-
tors show whether the door can be opened:
During the programme the door is locked when the water level or the
temperature is high. The DOOR indicator is not illuminated.
2.
Separate washing and load it loosely.
Mix large and small items.
Important:
Do not get any washing
caught between the door and the
rubber seal.
3.
Firmly push the door shut. Door catch
must audibly click shut.
Adding detergent /conditioner
Important:
Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in
household washing machines.
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/conditioner
manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packaging.
The amount of detergent used depends on:
–
the degree of soiling,
–
the load size
–
the hardness of the tap water.
•
If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with regard
to small volumes of washing: For a half-load use a third less, and for a
very small load use only the half the amount of detergent that is rec-
ommended for a full load.
•
Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-
um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for
hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you
with information about water hardness in your area.
