Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly instal-
led and connected. See "Installation
and connection". Also check that the
drain filter is securely tightened to
prevent the risk of water leaks during
use.
For safety reasons, spinning is not pos-
sible until the machine has been prepa-
red for using for the first time. To activa-
te the spinning function you must run a
wash programme without laundry and
without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an ex-
cessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a wash programme, thus making
maximum use of the detergent.

sting longer than 1 hour has been
completed.
