Before using the machine for the first
time ensure that it is correctly in-
stalled and connected. See the rele-
vant section under "Installation".
Also check that the fluff filter is se-
curely tightened to prevent the risk
of water leaks during use.
For safety reasons spinning is not pos-
sible until the machine has been pre-
pared for using for the first time. To acti-
vate the spinning function you must run
a wash programme without laundry.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a programme, thus making max-
imum use of the detergent.
Proceed as follows:
^
Open the stopcock
^
Do not load any laundry

gent dispenser can be set as a water
hardness reminder.

Remove the yellow lever from behind
the detergent drawer facia panel.

Use it to turn the dial to the position
