5. Washing guide
5.1. Sorting and preparing your washing
• Sort the washing by type and care symbol (see chapter 5.4: Inter-
national symbols for care of textiles): normal wash for strong
washing that can resist energetic wash and spin; delicate wash for
delicate washing that should be treated more carefully. For mixed
loads composed of articles of different types of fibers, choose a
program and temperature suitable for the most fragile fiber.
• Wash white washing and color washing separately. Otherwise, the
white washing may be colored or look gray.
• New clothes very often have too much color. Preferably wash new
clothes separately for the first time. Respect "wash separately" and
"wash several times separately" care instructions.
• Empty pockets and spread out the washing.
• Take off all loose buttons, pins and hooks and eyes. Close zip faste-
ners, tie knots in laces and straps.
• Turn clothes made of several layers of textiles (sleeping bags, ano-
raks, etc.), colored hosiery and wool and textiles with add-on decorations, inside out.
• Wash small delicate items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a washing net.
• Treat curtains with special care. Remove curtain hooks and put net
curtains in a net bag or a sachet.
5.2. Washing load depending on the nature of the
material
The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must not exceed
the maximum capacity of your washing machine. This capacity may
vary depending on the nature of your textiles. Reduce the quantity of
washing if it is very dirty or if you have terry cloth type materials.
Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention capacity. This is why in general the drum should be filled:
• completely, but without excessive pressure for cotton and linen,
and for mixed washe,
• half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers,
14
User’s instructions
• about one third full for very delicate articles such as net curtains
and wool.
For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most delicate material.
5.3. Detergents and additives
Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing machine. Read the manufacturer's instructions and respect sections 2.1
and 3.2.
Powder detergents can be used without restriction; liquid detergents
should be poured either in the proportioning bowl directly in the
drum, or in the wash compartment provided that the washing machine is started immediately; detergents in tablets or doses must be put
into the wash compartment of the detergents dispenser in your
washing machine.
The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of
washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty the
washing is.
If the water is soft, you can reduce the doses slightly. Increase the
doses slightly if the water is hard (it is recommended to use a water
softener) or if the washing is very dirty or stained.
You can ask the water distribution company in your region or any
other competent authority to find out the degree of hardness of your
water.

6. How to do a wash ?
Before the first wash in your washing machine, we recommend that
you should do a preliminary wash at 90°C with detergent but without
any washing to clean the tub.
6.1. 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.

your washing machine, make sure that the
drum door is properly closed:
•the two flaps latched together,
•the locking button A extended.
A
6.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine has been produced in order to reduce water
and detergents consumptions, so you can reduce the doses recommended by detergent manufacturers. Pour the powder detergent
dose into the wash compartment and into the prewash compartment if you chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener into
the compartment. If you are using a different type of detergent,
refer to the «detergents and additives» section in the washing guide.
6.3. Selecting the desired washing programme
Select the desired wash programme and temperature with the programme selector (for the appropriate programme, temperature and
possible programme options suitable for any type of washing, see
17
UIser’s instructions
"Programme tables"). The control lamps corresponding to the programme light on.
The OFF position of the programme selector switchs off the appliance
(it is switched on for all other positions). This function enables also to
cancel a programme and to restart the washing machine in case of error.
If the programme selector is turned when the appliance is performing
wash cycle, the programme will be carried out and will ignore the new
position of the selector. In order to solve this problem, re-position the
programme selector on its original position.
6.4. Selecting the spinning speed
When selecting the programme or in Pause mode, the light corresponding to the maximum spinning speed illuminates. You can adjust the
spinning speed which corresponds to the type of laundry and the degree of dampness required at the end of the wash depending on your
drying possibilities. You can also choose the RINSE HOLD option.
If you do not modify the spinning speed, the final spinning is automatically adapted to the chosen programme. The middle spinning speed
depends on the chosen programme and can not be modified.
6.5. Selecting the pushbuttons
Selecting if necessary one or several additionnal programme pushbuttons
• to change the selection, press an another pushbutton.
• to cancel a wrong selection, press again the same pushbutton.
6.6. End of programme
The appliance is equipped with a security which prevents the opening
of the lid during the cycle. When the DOOR light illumintates, you can
open the lid.
18
User’s instructions
The programmes end :
• by a spinning (for all washing programmes) if you have not selec-
ted the option RINSE HOLD
• by a rinse hold (for all washing programmes) if you have selected
the option RINSE HOLD. You can then end these programmes by a
spinning or by a draining by setting the programme selector on
the chosen programme by the OFF position, then pushing the
START/PAUSE pushbutton.
At the end of the cycle, place the programme selector on the OFF position in order to switch off the appliance.
Remove the laundry. Unplug the appliance and switch off the water
inlet tap.
Check that the drum is empty : any garments left in the appliance
may be damaged during the next wash (shrinkage) or their colour
may run onto other garments.
Note : leave the lid opened in order to air the washing machine.
