Before first use of the machine, ensure that
all preparations are made in accordance with
the instructions in sections “Important safety
instructions” and “Installation”.
To prepare the machine for washing laundry

programme. If your product is not equipped
with the Drum Cleaning programme, perform
the Initial Use procedure in accordance with
the methods described under “6.2 Cleaning
the loading door and the drum” section of the
user manual.
4.5 Correct load capacity
The maximum load capacity depends on the

the loaded laundry.

in the production. It is not harmful for the
product.
