Before using for the first time
15
Before using the machine for the
first time ensure that it is correctly in‐
stalled and connected. See "Installa‐
tion and connection". Also check
that the drain filters are securely
tightened to prevent the risk of water
leaks during use.
This washing machine has undergone
a complete functional test at the fac‐
tory and there will be some residual
water in the drum from this process.
For safety reasons, spinning is not pos‐
sible until the machine has been pre‐
pared for using for the first time. To ac‐
tivate the spinning function you must
run a wash programme without laundry
and without detergent.
Using detergent could result in an ex‐
cessive build-up of foam.
This also activates the ball valve. The
ball valve prevents detergent escaping
from the suds container into the sump
during a wash programme, thus making
maximum use of the detergent.

Running the first programme

Open the stopcock.
Press the button in.
Turn the programme selector to Cot‐
tons 60°C.
Press the Start button.
When the programme has finished, your
machine is ready to use for the first
time.
Switch the washing machine off with
the button at the end of the pro‐
gramme.
