HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE
FIRST TIME USE
Remove any manufacturing debris:
• Select the “Synthetics“ programme at a temperature of
60°C.
• Pour a small quantity of detergent powder into the
main wash compartment of the detergent dispenser
(maximum 1/3 of the quantity the detergent manufacturer
recommends for lightly soiled laundry).
• Start the programme without adding any laundry (with
empty drum).
• See section “DAILY USE“ for more information on how to
select and start a programme.
DAILY USE
PREPARING THE LAUNDRY
Empty pockets
• Coins, paper clips, etc. could damage the load and the
washing machine components.
• Tissues will break down during the wash cycle, and the
fragments will have to be subsequently removed by hand.
Close all zippers, buttons, and hooks. Tie all ribbons or
belts
• Insert the smaller garments (e.g. nylon hosiery, belts, etc.)
and garments with hooks (e.g. braziers) into a fabric bag or
a pillowcase with a zipper. Remove any rings from curtains,
or else place the curtains inside a fabric bag together with
the rings.
Rules for separating laundry
• Fabric type / indications on label (cotton, mixed bres,
synthetic, wool, handwash items)
• Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured items separately)
• Size (wash items of dierent sizes in the same load to
improve washing ecacy and weight distribution in the
drum)
• Delicates (place small items – such as nylon stockings –
and garments with clasps – such as braziers – in a laundry
bag or in a pillow case with a zip).
HOW TO USE THE WASHING MACHINE
1. Load laundry
• Open the machine lid by pulling it upwards.
• Open the drum, by pushing the drum ap release.
• Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum,
without overlling. Observe the load sizes given in the
“PROGRAMME CHART“ table. Overloading the machine
will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased
laundry. Do not use the aps to push the laundry into
the drum.
2. Close the drum
• Hold both aps in the middle, the rear ap over the
front ap.
ATTENTION: Check that no laundry gets stuck between the
aps, or between aps and drum. Make sure that the drum
aps are properly locked - depending on the model:
• All metal hooks must be properly hooked inside the
rear door ap.
• The slider of the front ap must slightly overlap the
rear ap.
