Operation 601
•Ensure the machine is plugged into the mains and switched on
at the socket. Check that the water supply is on at the mains.
•Open the outer and inner doors.
•Check the drums are empty before placing the sorted laundry
into the washing machine.
•Close both doors, making sure that both have ‘clicked’ shut.
It is important not to overload the machine. Maximum loads
for each programme are shown in the table section 02.
Tests have shown that overloading can reduce the wash
performance and may cause damage to your machine.
Detergent use
•To open the soap tray, press the hand on the soap tray.
Do not try to pull out the soap tray without first pressing it.

wash programmes.
•For a pre-wash option, add detergent to the compartment
marked 1.
•Fabric conditioner can be added to the compartment marked

Loading the washing machine Detergent use

Type of laundry Type of detergent
Brightly coloured/multi coloured Colour care
Whites Conventional biological or non-biological
Wool, silk Non biological wool/silk
Detergent format
Place wash balls and nets directly into the drums of the
washing machine.
Do not:
•place wash balls or tablets in drums when using the start
delay option (selected models only). This could fade coloured
laundry if the detergent touches the fabric before the water
soaks the laundry.
•place detergent into the drums when using a pre-wash as it
will be used before the main wash. Instead, use the soap tray.
•cover wash balls or tablets with laundry, as this can inhibit
the dispersal of detergent.
•stop the wash for long periods of time once it has started.
The detergent may not have had time to disperse and
concentrations may damage the laundry.
