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.

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.
Page 10

If the programme dial is turned while the washing machine is on a washing cycle, 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.
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 GHT SILENCE PLUS*.
The maximum speed is 800 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.

Washing guide
Sorting and preparing the washing
• Sort washing by type and care label (refer to International symbols section
below) : normal wash for tough fabrics which can withstand intense washing and spinning cycles ; delicate wash for delicate fabrics which need to be treated with care. For mixed loads, loads with items of different types of material, choose a programme and a temperature suitable for the most fragile material.
• Wash whites and colours separately : Otherwise, whites will be coloured or
will turn grey.
• New coloured clothes often contain excess dye. It is recommended to wash
such items separately the first time. Follow care instructions “wash separa­tely” and “wash separately several times”.
• Empty pockets and unfold items.
• Remove loose buttons, pins and fasteners. Close zip fasteners, tie ups laces
and straps.
•Turn multilayered fabrics (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.), coloured headwear,
wool and material with printed designs inside out.
• Wash small fragile items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a net bag.
• Take special care with curtains. Remove hooks and place net curtains in a
net or bag.
Washing guide
13
Wash loads depending on type of materials
The amount of washing placed in the drum must not exceed the maximum capacity of the washing machine. This capacity can vary depending on the type of materials. Reduce the quantity if washing is heavily soiled or made of absorbant material. Not all textiles have the same volume in the drum or the same water absorp­tion levels. In general, the drum must therefore be filled :
• to full capacity but avoiding excessive pressure on cotton, linen and cotton/
linen mixtures,
• to half capacity for processed cottons and synthetic fibres,
• to a third of its capacity for very fragile items such as net curtains and
woollens.
For mixed loads, fill drum depending on most fragile materials.
Page 14
Washing guide
14
Detergents and additives
Only use detergents and additives designed for use in a washing machine. Re­fer to manufacturer’s recommendations and also Dispenser box and Using the right amount of detergent sections.
We do not recommend mixing different types of detergents. This may spoil the washing. The amount of detergent to be used depends on the size of the load, the hard­ness of the water and how heavily soiled the washing is. If the water is soft, reduce the amount slightly. If the water contains lime sca­le (a descaler is recommended) or if the washing is heavily soiled or stained, increase the amount slightly. You can obtain information on the hardness level of water in your area by contacting your water company or other competent source.
There are no restrictions on the use of powder detergents. Liquid detergents must not be used when a prewash has been selected. For cycles without prewash, they can be added either via means of a dosing ball, or in the detergent compartment. In either case, the wash cycle must be star­ted immediately. Detergent tablets or doses must be placed in the detergent compartment of your appliance’s dispenser box.
For stain removal before a wash cycle, please refer to manufacturer’s recom­mended amounts and instructions. If you use a detergent to remove stains, the wash cycle must be started immediately.
