•Lift the machine cover.
•Open the drum by pressing on the locking button A; the two flaps automatically separate.
•Insert the washing, close the drum and the cover of your washing machine.

Press the required pushbutton(s) ; the corresponding lights come on. When you press again, the lights go off. When one of these options is not compatible with the chosen programme, the corresponding light will flash for a few seconds (see programme table).
3.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine was designed to reduce water and detergent consumption, therefore reduce the do- ses recommended by detergent manufacturers.
Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash com- partment 
and into the prewash compartment 
if you chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener into the 
compartment if you wish.
If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the «detergents and additives» section in the washing gui- de.
3.3.Choice of the required program-
me
The programmes table will tell you which is the appro- priate programme for your washing type (see § 4).
Put the programme selector onto the required program- me ; the lights correspon- ding to the phases making up the programme will light up.
3.5.1. «Delayed start» pushbutton
This option delays start of the programme. Select the number of hours after which you want the programme to begin by pressing on the pushbutton one or several times.
3.5.2. «Super rinse» pushbutton
This option adds two rinses on Cotton, Synthetics and Delicates programs. It is advised for allergic people to detergent products and in areas with fresh water.

If you select this function, the wash time is reduced depending on which program you chose.
