3. HOW TO DO A WASH ?
Before the first wash in your washing machine, we re-
commend that you should do a preliminary wash at
90°C with detergent but without any washing to clean
the tub.
3.1. Loading the washing
• Lift the machine cover.
• Open the drum by pressing on the locking button A;
the two flaps automatically separate.
• Insert the washing, close the drum and the cover of
your washing machine.
Warning : before you close
the cover of your washing
machine, make sure that the
drum door is properly closed:
• the two flaps latched
together,
• the locking button A exten-
ded.
3.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine was designed to reduce water
and detergent consumption, therefore reduce the do-
ses recommended by detergent manufacturers.
Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash com-
partment and into the prewash compartment if
you chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener
into the compartment if you wish.
If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the
«detergents and additives» section in the washing gui-
de.
3.3. Choice of the required program-
me
The programmes table will tell you which is the appro-
priate programme for your washing type (see § 4).
Put the programme selector
onto the required program-
me ; the lights correspon-
ding to the phases making
up the programme will light
up.
3.4. Choice of the spinning speed
The maximum spin speed is de-
fined as a function of the type of
washing and depending on the
selected program.
However, you can reduce the
speed or choose the rinse hold*,
drain*, or spinning suppression*
positions.
3.5. Choice of the required option
The various options
should be chosen after
the programme has been
displayed and before
pressing the Start/Pause
pushbutton.
Press the required pushbutton(s) ; the corresponding
lights come on. When you press again, the lights go off.
When one of these options is not compatible with the
chosen programme, the corresponding light will flash
for a few seconds (see programme table).
3.5.1. «Daily wash / Quick wash» pushbut-
ton
This pushbutton allows to choose between two func-
tions :
• «Daily wash» function :
This pushbutton allows to realize a washing cycle with
not soiled laundry in a reduced time.
• «Quick wash» function :
If you select this function, the wash time is reduced de-
pending on which program you chose.
3.5.2. «Prewash» pushbutton
The washing machine does a prewash at 30°C
maximum. The prewash finishes with a brief spinning
for cotton and synthetic programs, and by a draining for
delicates programs.
3.5.3. «Super rinse» pushbutton
This option adds two rinses on Cotton, Synthetics and
Delicates programs. It is advised for allergic people to
detergent products and in areas with fresh water.
3.5.4. «Delayed start» pushbutton
This option delays start of the programme. Select the
number of hours after which you want the programme
to begin by pressing on the pushbutton one or several
times.
