Before using for the first time

Before the washer is used for the first time, it needs to be properly installed and connected. See "Installation and connection".

Because the washer was put through a complete operational test in the factory, there will be some water left in the drum.

For safety reasons, the washer will not spin until it has been prepared for use. To activate the spinning function, you will need to run a wash programwithout laundry and without detergent.

If you use detergent, it will cause excessive sudsing.

This preparation step also activates the ball valve in the drain. Once activated, the ball valve helps prevent detergent escaping from the suds container into the drain during a wash program, thus ensuring maximum use of the detergent.

The welcome screen will appear in the display every time the washer is switched on, until a program lasting longer than 1 hour has been completed.
