Control panel
Wash program selection knob
This control knob allows you to select the wash program of your choice. To activate it you should press in the program selection knob, to pop out the control.
Start/Stop button
Once a wash program has been selected, this button should be pressed to start the wash cycle.
Program option button
This button needs to be pressed after a wash program has been selected, but before the wash program has been started. If you select a different wash cycle after pressing a program option, it will need to be reselected.
Extra rinse: This function increases the level of the final rinse for the selected wash program. This should be selected if large loads are being washed or the garments belong to somebody who has sensitive skin. This option will increase the amount of water the appliance uses.
Easy iron: This function helps to prevent garments from creasing by carrying out a program where the rotation of the drum will fluff out the garments, after the spin cycle has completed. This should make the garments easier to iron.
Intensive wash: This function should be selected if you are washing heavily soiled, stained clothes. It achieves a better level of wash performance by extending the wash program that you have selected.

Preparing the wash cycle
Preparing your garments for washing
oYour washing should be sorted out, according to the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is printed on the garment’s wash care label. (see separate section on wash care symbols).
oYour washing should also be sorted out according to the degree of soiling.
oCheck all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are empty.
oRemove any detachable metal items (badges, paperclips, safety pins etc).
oZips should be closed, duvet covers and pillow cases should be buttoned up and any loose straps should be tied up. This will help to prevent other garments from getting damaged during the wash.
oWoollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out before being washed in the appliance.
oSmall delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in either a washing net or a zipped pillow case. Bras suitable for machine washing, that contain a wire, should also be washed in this manner.
oCurtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the appliance.
oColoured items and whites should be washed in separate wash cycles.
oNew garments often contain an excess of
dye, therefore it is advisable to wash them separately for their first wash.
oGarments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed inside the machine.
