Control panel
Wash program selection knob
This control knob allows you to select the wash program of your
choice.
Start/pause button
Once a wash program has been selected, this button should be
pressed to start the wash cycle. It can also be used to pause a wash
program once it’s in progress.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Preparing your garments for washing
o Your 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).
o Your washing should also be sorted out
according to the degree of soiling.
o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure
that they are empty.
o Remove any detachable metal items (badges,
paperclips, safety pins etc).
o Zips 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.
o Woollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out
before being washed in the appliance.
o Small delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in
either a washing net or a zipped pillow case.
o Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks
or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the

o Coloured items and whites should be washed
in separate wash cycles.
o New garments often contain an excess of

first wash.
