SECTION 5: WASHING YOUR LAUNDRY
Plug in the machine.
Open the water supply.
First wash cycle
We recommend the first wash cycle should be made without any laundry.Use programme 1 without any detergent.
BEFORE WASHING
Arrange your clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic, sensitive, woolen, etc.),washing temperatures and level of dirtiness.
Never wash your white and coloured clothes together.
Since your new coloured clothes may shed dye on the first wash,
wash them separately.
Be careful that no metal pieces are found on or in the pockets of your clothes, remove if there is any.
Zip and button up your clothes.
Remove the plastic or metal hooks of the curtains and laces or place
them inside a washing bag and tie.
Turn trousers,knitted fabric,t-shirt and sweat shirt inside out.
Wash your small clothes like socks and handkerchiefs in a washing
bag.
Wash up to 90 ˚C Wash up to 60 ˚C Wash up to 30 ˚C Not machine
washable
Placement of the clothes into the machine
Open the door of your machine.
Place clothes in your machine.
When you shut the door of your machine, be careful that nothing is
jammed between the cover and the rubber seal.
Shut the door of your machine tightly otherwise your machine will not start the washing process.

Page 13
Filling detergent in the machine
The quantity of the detergent that you will fill in your machine depends on the following criteria:
Your detergent consumption will change according to the soil level of your clothes. For your slightly dirty clothes, do not pre-wash and put a small amount of detergent in the compartment no.2 of the detergent drawer.
For your excessively dirty clothes, select a program with pre- washing, fill ¼ portion of the detergent you will put in compartment 1 in the detergent drawer and the remaining portion in compartment
2.
In your machine,use the detergents developed especially for automatic washing machines. The quantities that will be used for your clothes are written on the packing of the detergents.
As the hardness of your water increases, the amount of the detergent to be consumed will also increase.
As the amount of your clothes increases, the amount of the detergent to be consumed will also increase.
Fill your softener in the softener compartment in your detergent drawer. Do not exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, the softener will diffuse in the washing water via the siphon.
The softeners with high density should be diluted with some water before filling in the drawer. That is because the softener with high density obstructs the siphon and prevents the flow of the softener.
You can use fluid detergents in all programs without pre-washing. For this, mount the fluid detergent level plate in the second compartment of the detergent drawer and arrange the amount of fluid detergent according to the levels on this plate.
OPERATING THE THE WASHING MACHINE Selection of the programme
