Operating instructions
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
1
Sort your laundry.
See the "Advice and tips before washing"
chapter.
Place underwired bras in a laundry net.
Empty pockets. Coins, nails, and the like can
cause damage to the machine and fabrics. See
the "Advice and Tips" section before washing.
2
Turn on the main power
switch
NOTE:
Power on
Press the on/off button for min. 1 sec and max.
5 sec.
Power off
Press the on/off button for min. 5 sec.
If the ON/OFF command is not correctly accepted
by the machine, wait min. 8 sec before any further
press.
3
Open the washer door and
load the laundry
If the washer door is closed, press the
Door Opening button (key symbol). The door
opens once all water has drained from the
machine. Load the laundry. The wash program
chart shows how much laundry can be washed
with each program.
4
Add detergent and fabric
softener, as required
The detergent packaging will have
recommendations for how much detergent
you should use. The machine holds 18 lb (8
kg) of laundry. If you only have a small amount
of laundry in the machine, you can reduce the
amount of detergent used.
Powder detergent
Pour the powder into the main wash compartment,
and pre-wash compartment as well if desired.
Liquid detergent
When using a liquid detergent, observe the
detergent manufacturer's recommendations.
We recommend using a laundry ball with thick
detergents. In the main detergent compartment,
use the section wall (A) – see figure in the section
Dispenser. Add the detergent into the front
compartment of the detergent dispenser.
Wash ball or net
If you use a wash ball or net, place it directly in
the drum and select a program without pre-wash.
NOTE!
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment.
Try using less detergent, and increase only if you
are not satisfied with the results.
Fabric softener
Pour the fabric softener into the compartment
with the symbol. Follow the recommendations
on the fabric softener packaging.
NOTE!
Do not fill above the compartment’s maximum fill
level. Otherwise fabric softener will be dispensed
too early, which impairs the washing effect.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
