Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly in- stalled and connected. See the rele- vant section under "Installation". Also check that the fluff filter is se- curely tightened. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use.

For safety reasons spinning is not pos- sible until the machine has been pre- pared for using for the first time. To acti- vate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without any laundry and without detergent.

Using detergent could result in an ex- cessive build-up of foam.

This also activates the ball valve. The ball valve prevents detergent escaping from the suds container into the sump during a wash programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent.

^Turn on the stopcock.

^Press the I-ON/0-OFF button in.

^Turn the programme selector to COTTONS 40°C.

^Press the START button.

When this programme has finished turn the programme selector to "Finish". Your washing machine is ready for using for the first time.
