SECTION 5: OPERATING THE WASHING MACHINE
! Ensure the washing machine is plugged in and the water tap is on.
! There may be some residual water in the machine, when first opening
the drum door. This is normal and is the result of factory testing.
! It is recommended that the washing machine is run without laundry in
for the first time of use.
To do this:-
1) Open the dispenser draw
2) Pour in half a measuring cup household all purpose detergent into
compartment 2.
3) Close draw.
4) Rotate the program knob to 90C (Program 1).
5) Press the start/pause button. After several seconds the cycle will
start.
Preparing the laundry
Sort out clothes according to fabric (cotton, synthetics, wool or silk)
and to how dirty they are. Always follow advice on garment labels.
Separate white clothes from coloured ones. Wash them first by hand
to check if they fade or run.
Empty pockets (keys, coins, etc.) and remove the harder decorative
objects (e.g. broach).
Garments without hems, underwear, finely woven textile such as fine
curtains are to be put into washbag (it is better not to wash them in a
washing machine).
Close zippers and hooks, make sure the buttons are sewn on tightly
and place small items such as socks, belts, bras, etc. in the wash
bag.
Unfold large pieces of fabric such as bed sheets, bedspreads, etc.
Turn shirts inside out.
Loading the machine
Open the washer door and put in the laundry piece by piece. Close the door
tightly
