Before you start washing

Water is poured into the Washing machine to perform an inspection at the time of shipment from the factory, so there may be drops of water or condensation in the Washing machine. This is not an indication of a malfunction.

Before the first use

Do not put anything into the washing machine.

Cotton 40 ºC programme is the default setting. Run the washing machine for the first time without any detergent or clothing to rinse out any residue or moisture.

Organizing laundry

●Read the washing label on each garment to help you sort your washing into different loads.

●Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric and by how soiled it is. This will help you choose the correct programme and temperature for each wash.
