10 How to run a wash cycle
How to run a wash cycle ?
Before you wash laundry in your washing machine for the first time, we recommend you run a preliminary wash at 95°C, with no laundry but with detergent. This will clean the tub.
Loading washing
•Open the lid of the appliance.
•Open the drum by depressing the locking button A : The two shutters unlock automatically.
•Load the washing, close the drum and the lid of your washing machine.
A |
Important : 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 designed to reduce your water and detergent consumption. You can therefore reduce the amounts recommended by detergent manufacturers.
Pour the dose of powder detergent into the wash 
and prewash 
compartments if you have chosen a programme with prewash. 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.
Selecting the programme
Turn the programme dial to the required wash programme, based on the kind of laundry and how dirty it is (see Programme Table). The indicator for the START/PAUSE button flashes in red. The duration of the selected programme is displayed in the display window.
The OFF 
position switches the washing machine off (it is on in all the
How to run a wash cycle 11
other positions). This programme dial can be turned to the right or to the left.
If the programme dial is turned while the washing machine is on a washing cycle, the error code “Err” appears in the display window and the START/PAUSE button flashes in yellow for a few seconds. The programme then continues without taking any notice of the new position of the dial. To remedy the problem, put the dial back to its initial position. The breakdown of the cycle phases reappears in the display window.
Selecting the spin speed
Press the RPM button until the indicator for the desired spin speed lights up. You can also select the NO SPIN*, RINSE HOLD 
* or NIGHT SILENCE PLUS*.
The maximum speed is 1000 rpm for all the programmes.
At the end of the programme, if you
have selected RINSE HOLD 
or NIGHT SILENCE PLUS, you then need to select a SPIN or DRAIN programme to finish the cycle.
RINSE HOLD 
The last rinse water is not drained at the end of the selected programme to avoid creasing the washing if it is not taken out of the drum immediately.
Selecting options
Options can be added to a wash programme that has already been selected. Press the button for the desired option. The corresponding indicator lights up.
To deactivate an option, do the same thing. The corresponding indicator goes out.
Prewash
Prewash at around 30°C before the main wash cycle which then proceeds automatically.
* depending on model
12 How to run a wash cycle
Stain
For very dirty or stained washing. A stain removing product can be poured into the prewash compartment 
in the product dispenser.
Sensitive
Rinsing action increased by an additional rinse cycle with, at the same time, reduced drum movement (fabric protection). Ideal for frequent washes, for example, in the case of very sensitive skin (not compatible with the Rinse plus option).
Time saving
This function allows you to reduce the length of the cycle depending on the type of programme selected.

You are able to activate it permanently by proceeding in the following way : Press the RPM and PREWASH buttons for a few seconds. The RINSE PLUS indicator lights up. The option is permanently activated, even if the appliance is switched off.
To deactivate permanently, repeat the same operation.
If the option selected is not possible, “Err” is displayed in the display window and the indicator for the START/PAUSE button flashes in yellow.
Selecting a start delay
This option allows you to delay the start of a wash programme by 30, 60, 90, 2
hours to 20 hours.

the end of which you want the programme to start (0’ indicates immediate start). The corresponding symbol is displayed in the display window.
You can change or cancel the delayed start time at any time before you press the START/PAUSE pushbutton, by pressing the DELAY START.
