How to wash correctly

BTo switch on the machine Press the "I-ON/0-OFF" button.

CPress the "Lid" button.

^ Open the machine outer lid.

^ Open the inner lid.

^Press the drum lock (black arrow) and at the same time push the front flap inwards (in the direction of the arrows) until the lock is released.

^Support both flaps and let them swing up.

DOpen the drum:

Take care. The drum flaps are spring-loaded.

^Gently press your hand against the rear drum flap.

Load the drum:

^Unfold laundry and load loosely in the drum. To achieve optimum results it is advisable to make up mixed loads consisting of both large and small items. This improves washing efficiency and helps distribute the load evenly to keep the machine sta- ble and reduce noise during spin- ning. Overloading impairs wash per- formance and causes more creasing.
