How to run a wash cycle?
Using for the first time
• Ensure the electrical and water con-
nections comply with the installation
instructions.
• Remove the polystyrene insert and
all other items inside the drum.
• Run an initial wash cycle at 90°C,
without any washing but with deter-
gent to clean the water tank.
Daily use
Loading washing
• Open the lid of the appliance.
• Open the drum by depressing the loc-
king button A : The two shutters
unlock automatically.
• Load the washing, close the drum
and the lid of your washing machine.
Before closing the lid of your appliance,
ensure that the drum is properly closed :
• When the two shutters are closed,
• locking button A released.
Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine has been desi-
gned to reduce your water and deter-
gent consumption. You can therefore
reduce the amounts recommended by
detergent manufacturers.
Pour the amount of washing powder into
the washing and prewash com-
partments if you have selected the
“prewash” option. Pour fabric softener
into the compartment if necessary .
If you use another detergent type, refer
to the section “detergents and
additives” in the washing guide.
Selection of desired programme
You can find the right programme for
different types of washing in the
programme table (see “Programme
table”).
Turn the programme selector to the
required programme. The “Start/Pause”
pushbutton flashes green.
If you turn the programme selector to
another programme while a cycle is in
progress, the appliance will ignore the
new selected programme. The “Start/
Pause” pushbutton flashes red for a few
seconds.
