OPERATION
Using the Washing Machine
Before the first wash, select a washing programme, allow the washing machine to wash without clothing. This will remove residue and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.
1 Sort laundry and load items.
••Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, colour and load size as needed. Open the door and load items into the washing machine.
2 Add cleaning products and/or detergent and softener.
••Add the proper amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser drawer. If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate areas of the dispenser.
3 Turn on the washing machine.
••Press the Power button to turn on the washing machine.
EN
4 Choose the desired washing cycle.
••Press the cycle button repeatedly or turn the cycle selector knob until the desired cycle is selected.
5 Begin cycle.
••Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The washing machine will agitate briefly without water to measure the weight of the load. If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within 15 minutes, the washing machine will shut off and all settings will be lost.
6 End of cycle.
••When the cycle is finished, a melody will sound. Immediately remove your clothing from the washing machine to reduce wrinkling. Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.
NOTE
••The button cannot be recognized when the door is open. Press again after closing the door.

Permanent press
Delicate
Hand wash
Do not wash
2 Sorting laundry.
••To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
••Different fabrics need to be washed at varying temperatures and spin speeds.
••Always sort dark colours from pale colours and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint transfer can occur causing discolouration of white and pale garments. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
−−Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
−−Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Separate white fabrics from coloured fabrics.
−−Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
EN
3 Caring before loading.
••Combine large and small items in a load.
Load large items first.
••Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. Do not wash single items. This may cause an unbalanced load. Add one or two similar items.
••Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys can damage both your washing machine and your clothes.
••Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure that these items don’t snag on other clothes.
••Pre-treat dirt and stains by brushing a small amount of detergent dissolved water onto stains to help lift dirt.
••Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and remove any small articles.
CAUTION
••Check inside the drum and remove any items from a previous wash.
••Remove any clothing or items from the flexible gasket to prevent clothing and gasket damage.
20
Adding Cleaning Products
Detergent Dosage
••Detergent should be used according to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer and selected according to type, colour, soiling of the fabric and washing temperature.
••If too much detergent is used, too many suds can occur and this will result in poor washing results or cause heavy load to the motor.
••If you wish to use liquid detergent follow the guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.
••You can pour liquid detergent directly into the main detergent drawer if you are starting the cycle immediately.
••Do not use liquid detergent if you are using Time delay, or if you have selected Pre Wash, as the liquid may harden.
••If too many suds occur, reduce the detergent amount.
••Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid oversudsing.
••Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing the detergent and water temperature.
••When using the washing machine, use designated detergent for each type of clothing only:
−−General powdered detergents for all types of fabric
−−Powdered detergents for delicate fabric
−−Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or designated detergents only for wool
••For better washing performance and whitening, use detergent with the general powdered bleach.
••Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle.
EN
NOTE
••Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or odour.
••Full load : According to manufacturer’s recommendation.
••Part load : 3/4 of the normal amount
••Minimum load : 1/2 of full load
Adding Detergent and Fabric
Softener
Adding Detergent
••Main wash only →
••Pre wash+Main wash →
NOTE
••Too much detergent, bleach or softener may cause an overflow.
••Be sure to use the appropriate amount of detergent.
Adding Fabric Softener
••Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener, which may stain clothes. Close the dispenser drawer slowly.
21
••Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 2 days (Fabric softener may harden).
••Softener will automatically be added during the last rinse cycle.
••Do not open the drawer when water is being supplied.
••Solvents (benzene, etc.) must not be used.
NOTE
••Do not pour fabric softener directly on the clothes.
Adding Water Softener
••A water softener, such as anti-limescale (e.g. Calgon) can be used to cut down on the use of detergent in extremely hard water areas.
Dispense according to the amount specified on the packaging. First add detergent and then the water softener.
••Use the quantity of detergent required for soft water.
