Using your appliance

The very first time that the machine is used you should run a wash programme with no load in the drum, to clear

any residues which may have been left by the manufac-1 turing process. Pour approx. 100 ml of detergent straight

into the drum and run programme G, 40° C.

When the programme has ended the machine will be ready for use.

Loading the machine

Pull the door latch gently to open the door. Put the items to be washed inside the drum. Large and small items can be mixed. Try always to wash full loads: for maximum load weights see the programme charts. You should only reduce the load weight for heavily-soiled items and sensitive fabrics. One way of achieving the maximum load size is to fill the

drum with dry items, but without forcing them in. Another2 way is to weigh the first loads you wash, so you learn to

estimate the right load size. Close the machine door.

Adding detergent and fabric conditioner

The amount of detergent you use has an impact on the performance of any washing machine. Both too much and too little can cause problems. Use only detergent for automatic washing machines, and follow the manufacturer's instructions when measuring the quantity.

Increase the quantity of detergent if the load is heavily soiled or if you have a hard water supply. Decrease the amount for lightly soiled items or less than a full load.

Excessive foaming may indicate you have used too much3 detergent.

The detergent dispenser is used for fabric conditioner and detergent for the main wash. Put the detergent in the larger compartment on the left (Fig 1) and the fabric conditioner in the smaller one on the right (Fig. 2). Never fill the com- partment for fabric conditioner higher than the maximum level marked on it. If using pre-wash, add the detergent for this straight into the drum.

Starting the machine

Before starting the programme, check:
that the door is closed	4
that the machine is plugged in and switched on at	4
the wall socket

that the machine's water supply is turned on

Set the temperature (Fig. 3), select the programme (Fig. 4) and press any option buttons you require. Then press the ON/OFF button to start the wash. The indicator light will come on and after 5 seconds the door locks shut electrically and the machine starts working.
