Important information
Before washing for the first time
Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the tap on. Pour into compartment
II
:
–

.
Protecting the laundry and the machine
– Empty pockets.
– Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.).
– Wash delicates in a laundry bag (tights, curtains, underwired bras).
– Fasten zips, do up any buttons.
– Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
– Remove curtain fittings or place in the laundry bag.
Load laundry
–
For optimum spin behaviour, load large
and
small items of laundry together.
– Individual items may lead to considerable imbalances.
–
Take care not to trap items of laundry between the washing machine door and the rubber seal
.
Soaking
Load laundry of the same colour.
Pour soaking agent/detergent into compartment
II
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Turn the programme selector to
Resistentes/Algod.
(Cottons)

and press
Inicio
/Pausa + Carga (
Start
/Reload).
After approx. 10 minutes, press Inicio/
Pausa + Carga
(Start
/

) to stop the programme.
Once the required soaking time has elapsed, press
Inicio
/Pausa + Carga (
Start

gramme, or select a different programme.
Starching
Laundry must not be treated with fabric softener
Starching is possible in all wash programmes if liquid starch is used. Pour starch into the
~
fabric softener com-
partment in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (rinse first if necessary).
Dyeing / bleaching
Dye should only be used in normal household quantities. Salt may damage stainless steel. Always follow the dye
manufacturer's instructions. Do
not
use the washing machine for bleaching clothes.
Load display
The load sensor detects how heavily the washing machine is loaded. The laundry is not weighed.
Recommended dosage
Based on the selected programme and the detected load, the recommended dosage function provides a recommen-
dation for the detergent dosage in %. The % figure refers to the recommendation of the detergent manufacturer.
Load adjust
Independently of the load display, the automatic load sensing function uses additional sensors to adapt the water and
power consumption ideally to each programme, depending on the type of fabric and the load.
