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. Switch the machine on
Press this button to switch the washing
machine on.
Press it again to switch the machine off.
The led lights up when you press the
button, and goes out when you press it
again.
Three dashes or a zero appear on the
display.
3.4. Choice of the programme
Press this button repeatedly to
select the programme on the
basis of the type of laundry to be
washed. The light relevant to the
selected programme will
illuminate. The washing machine

spin value provided for the
programme you have chosen.
You can change these values by operating

ragraph 3.6).

one proposed by the washing
machine. The relevant light will
illuminate.
On « » position, your laundry is
washed with cold water. This
option can be chosen for very
delicate fabrics, for example silk.
The temperature can be changed during the washing
phase : the washing machine will resume the cycle from
the beginning.

«Rinse hold» position
Press this button repeatedly to
change the spin speed, if you

wash: 900 rpm,

RINSE HOLD position « »: when you choose this
option, the machine will not drain the water of the last

will go out, a zero will appear on the display and the
DOOR light will stay illuminated to indicate that the
water must be drained.
