Before using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly in- stalled and connected. See the rele- vant section under "Installation". Also check that the fluff filter is se- curely tightened. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use.

Water hardness reminder dial

Several factors including the water hardness level in your area will affect how much detergent you should use. The small dial in the detergent dis- penser drawer can be set purely as a reminder of the hardness level.

Any residual lubricants and water from testing still in the machine should be flushed out as follows:
