WARNING

Before installing or using your washing machine read and follow all installation and operating instructions.

Check the machine. Never start a damaged machine! Contact your customer service!

Check to be sure your household electrical system voltage and the voltage specifications on the washing machine rating plate correspond.

Turning the washing machine on and off

The rotating Cycle Selector turns the washer on as wash cycles are selected and off when the selector is later turned to the vertical Off position.

Before loading your first load of laundry

Your new washing machine was tested before leaving the factory. This process involves running various wash cycles. As a result, a small amount of water may remain in the tub and drainage system. Run a Maintenance cycle with no laundry to clean the system before your first load of laundry.

First add 1 to 2 tablespoons of detergent to the leftmost compartment of the detergent dispenser. Then run the Maintanance cycle.

Loading the laundry

9WARNING

WARNING

To avoid risk of explosion! Laundry items that have been pretreated with any material containing solvents (e.g. stain remover, cleaner’s solvent) must be rinsed out thoroughly by hand before they are placed in the washing machine.

Loosen the laundry being loaded and mix small and large items

Unfold the sorted items and place them loosely in the drum. Mix small and large items to help them better distribute in the drum during the spin cycle.

Tip: Do not exceed the maximum load recommended for the type of wash. Overloading will cause poor wash results and will cause creasing.
