4. HOW TO DO A WASH?
Before the first wash in your washing machine, we recom-
mend that you should do a preliminary wash at 90°C with
detergent but without any washing to clean the tub.
4.1. Loading the washing
•
Lift the machine cover.
•
Open the drum by pressing on the locking button A;
the two flaps automatically separate.
•
Insert the washing, close the drum and the cover of
your washing machine.
Warning : before you close the
cover of your washing machine,
make sure that the drum door is
properly closed:
• the two flaps latched together,
• the locking button A extended.
4.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine was designed to reduce water and
detergent consumption, therefore reduce the doses re-
commended by detergent manufacturers.
Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash compart-
ment
and into the prewash compartment
if you cho-
se the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener into the
compartment if you wish.
If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the
«detergents and additives» section in the washing guide.
4.3. Select the desired programme
Turn the programme selector to
choose the desired programme.
The appropriate message will ap-
pear in the display window. The
display window will show the time
the selected programme cycle will
finish, with the calculation based
on the maximum load for each
type of material. The Start/ Pause
button light will start to flash. If you have a small load to
wash, at the start of the cycle the display window will still
show the end of the cycle as if it were a maximum load.
The duration display will be gradually adjusted while the
cycle is running through.
4.4. Select the temperature
Keep pressing the "Temperature
" button
to increase or
reduce the temperature if you want your washing washed
at a different temperature from the one selected by the
washing machine. Some programmes do not allow you to
change the temperature (the "selection error" message will
appear in the display window).
The maximum temperature available message will appear
on the second line of the display window (instead of "cycle
end at"). The temperature selected will appear in the
corner of the 3rd line of the display window.
4.5. Select the spinning speed, the rin-
se hold or Silence cycle options
Press the button "Spinning
" to change the spin speed
if you want your washing to be spun at a different speed
from the one selected by the washing machine.
By pressing the spin speed button you can also choose the
"0" no spin option, Rinse hold option
and Silence cycle
option .
•
The "0" no spin option : stops all spin phases and
increases the number of rinses for the Cottons and
Synthetics programmes.
•
Rinse hold
option : the washing machine will not
empty the last rinse water and so the washing will not
crease.
•
Silence cycle
option : the washing machine will not
empty the last rinse water and so the washing will not
crease. As all the spin phases will be cut out the
washing cycle will be less noisy and can be selected at
night. Rinses on the Cotton and Synthetics program-
mes will use more water.
The relevant message will appear on the second line of the
display window. The spin speed selected will be indicated
on the 3rd line above the "Spin
" button.
After a rinse hold or Night silence cycle you can choose
one of the following programmes:
•
DRAIN : To drain the water, select the drain
pro-
gramme using the programme selector then press the
Start/Pause button.
•
SPIN : to spin the washing choose the spin
or the
delicate spin
programmes with the programmes
selector : select the spinning speed using the «spin
» button and then press the START/PAUSE button.
