Before first use
Before using the washing machine for the first time, review the following important
points and make sure that:
• All transit bolts are removed.
• The washer is stable and level. If necessary, adjust the levelling legs to stabilise the
washer (see page 12).
• The water supply hose is properly installed (see page 13).
• The power plug is firmly inserted into a nearby power point and power is switched
on to the outlet.
• The water tap is open.
• The drain hose is properly installed and secured into the laundry sink or into a drain
spout (see page 14).
• Before using the washing machine for the first time, run a complete cycle
(without laundry items and detergent), following the instructions on page 25 and
run the machine until the end of the program.
Detergent recommendations
• Only use low-sudsing detergent and clothing care preparations that are
suitable for use in a front load washing machine, or in a top and front load
machine. Detergents for top load machines are unsuitable because they tend to
produce too much suds, which may cause overflowing from the detergent drawer.
• Amount: Use detergent in the amounts
recommended on the detergent packaging.
Dosage depends on your amount of washing,
the degree of soiling, water hardness and
the washing performance of your detergent.
Using too little detergent will give poor
washing results, but too much will affect rinse
performance and may cause overflow of suds,
which could interfere with machine operation.
Do not overfill detergent!
• Pull out the detergent dispenser (Fig. 16) and
add detergent as follows:
WARNING!
• Do not use flammable and explosive or toxic solvents, petrol, alcohol or other
chemicals in the machine.
• Keep detergents and clothing care preparations out of reach of children.
