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 un-

lock automatically.

• Load the washing, close the drum and the lid of your washing machine.

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

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

The maximum speed is 1000 rpm for all the programmes.
