Before the first wash

Before your first wash, we recommend that you pour 2 litres of water

into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer in order to activate the ECO valve.

Then, run a cotton cycle at 60°C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub.

Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the machine.
