2. Select the draining or spinning
programme.
3. Reduce the spin speed if needed, by
pressing the relevant button.

Remove the laundry from the drum. Check
whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this
is to prevent any items of laundry from
remaining accidentally in the drum, where
they might get damaged in a subsequent wash
(e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into
another load of laundry.
If you do not intend to carry out another
wash, close the water tap. Leave the door
open to prevent the formation of mildew and
unpleasant smells.
Stand by : once the programme has finished
after a few minutes the energy saving system
will be enabled. The brightness of the display
is reduced. By pressing any button the
appliance will come out of the energy saving
status.
Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each
garment label and the manufacturer’s washing
instructions. Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates,
woollens.
Before loading the
laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the
wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately
the first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are
left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety
pins, pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long
tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove
hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable
to treat them prior to washing.
