FIRST WASH CYCLE
We recommend that the first wash cycle be carried out empty. This will remove any residual water used in the factory checks.
1.Turn on the tap.
2.Close the drum flaps.
3.Pour a small amount of detergent (about 30 ml) into the detergent dispenser 
.
4.Select a short programme (see programme chart).
5.Switch on the machine.
6.Press the “On/Off” button.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Packing
•The packaging materials are 100% recyclable
and bear the recycling symbol 
. Adhere to local regulations when disposing of packaging material.
2.Energy saving tips
•Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size.
•Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions.
•The Eco Ball - a special system in the outlet - will prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid detergent loss into the environment.
•Use “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry only! Save detergent, time, water and energy consumption by not selecting “Prewash” for slight to normally soiled laundry.
•Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash program.
•Save energy by using a 60°C instead of a 90°C wash programme or a 40°C instead of a 60°C wash programme.
•Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a tumble dryer (for machines with adjustable spin speed).
3.Disposing of packaging and old washing machines
•The washing machine is built from reusable materials. The washing machine must be disposed of in compliance with current local waste disposal regulations.
•Before scrapping, cut of the power cable so that the washing machine cannot be connected to the mains.
•Remove detergent from compartment if you intend scrapping your washing machine.
4.Child safety
•Children must not be allowed to play with or in the washing machine.
5.General recommendations
•Do not leave the washing machine connected when not in use. Turn off the tap.
•Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance switch off the washing machine and disconnect it from the mains supply.
•To clean the outside of the washing machine, use a neutral detergent and a damp cloth.
•Do not use abrasive detergents.
•Do not attempt to force the lid open.
•If necessary, the power cable may be replaced with an identical one obtained from our AfterSales Service. The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician.
6.EC Declaration of Conformity
• This washing machine has been designed, constructed and distributed in compliance with the safety requirements of EC Directives: 73/23/EEC Low Voltage Directive
89/336/EEC EMC Directive 93/68/EEC CE Marking Directive

PREPARATION OF THE WASHING
Sort the laundry
1. Sort the laundry according to…
•Type of fabric / care label symbol
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwashed items.
•Colour
Separate whites and coloureds. Wash new coloured items separately.
•Size
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve efficiency and distribution in the drum.
•Fabric delicacy
Wash delicate articles separately: use a special
programme for Pure New Wool 
, curtains and other delicates. Always remove curtain glides or wash curtains with the glides inside a cotton bag. Use the special program for handwash fabrics. Wash stockings, belts and other small items or articles with hooks (e.g. bras) in special cotton bags for washing machines or in zipped
pillow cases. 2.Empty pockets
Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage your washing machine drum and tub.
3.Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.

Stain removal |
Dyeing and bleaching |
•Blood, milk, egg and other organic substances are generally removed by the enzyme phase of the programme.
•To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit
stains etc. add a stain removing agent in detergents dispenser compartment 
or chlorine bleach in compartment 
(depending on model).
•Particularly stubborn stains should be treated before the wash.
Products usually consist of dye colour, fixing agent and salt. Pour the dye colour, the fixing agent and then the salt directly into the empty drum. Load the laundry only afterwards.
•Only use dyes and bleaches recommended for washing machines.
•Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
•Plastic and rubber parts of the machine may be stained by dyes or bleaches.
Starching
•Dissolve/dilute the starch, powder or liquid, in approximately 1 litre water outside of the washing machine in a small container. Load the washing machine, close the drum flaps and pour the dissolved starch directly on the drum. Then close the lid, select the programme “Rinse and Spin” and start.
Loading the laundry
1. Open the machine lid.
2. Open the drum by pressing the small flap and holding
the large flap. |
|
3. Place the items of laundry in the drum one by one |
|
without compressing them. Follow loads |
|
recommended in the “programme chart”: overloading |
1 |
will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased |
|
laundry. |
|
4. Close the drum flaps and check that they are properly locked.
