• To remove any of the residual water used during testing by the manufacturer, we recommend
that you run a short cycle without any load.
1. Open the water tap.
2. Close the door.
3. Pour a small amount of washing product (approx. 30 ml) into the main wash compartment
of the dispenser drawer.
4. Choose a short program and start the cycle (see the Quick Reference Guide).

Preparing the laundry

1. Sort the laundry by taking into account the following criteria...
• The type of fabric/symbols on the care label
Items made of cotton, blended fibres, synthetic/easy-care materials, wool, hand-washable
materials.
• The "Wool" wash cycle of this machine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark
Company for wool garments labelled "machine washable"; take into account the manufacturer's
washing instructions for this washing machine and those of the manufacturer of the clothing
for machine washing.
Colours
• Wash coloured and white clothing separately. Wash new coloured clothing separately.
Loading
• Wash similar sized items together so that the washing is more efficient and the items are
more evenly distributed in the drum.
Delicate textiles
• Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts, etc.) and items with hooks (such as bras) in a
laundry bag or zipped pillowcase. Always remove curtain rings or wash them in a laundry bag.

Using the appliance
2. Empty all pockets
• Coins, safety pins, etc., can damage your laundry, as well as the drum and/or the tank.
3. Closures
• Close zips, buttons and hooks; any belts and ribbons must be tied together.
Stain removal
• Blood, milk, egg stains, etc., are generally eliminated during the enzymatic phase of the
program.
• To remove stains of red wine, coffee, tea, herbs, fruits, etc., add some stain remover by
pouring it directly into the dispenser drawer.
• For very persistent stains, apply the stain remover directly on the stain if necessary.
Dyeing
• Only use dyes that are compatible with washing machines.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• The plastic and rubber parts of the appliance can be stained by dye.
Loading the laundry
1. Open the door.
2. Place the clothes one by one inside the drum, taking care not to overload the machine.
Do not exceed the recommended laundry volume as shown in the Quick Reference Guide.
PLEASE NOTE: overloading the machine will result
in poor washing performance and crease the laundry.
3. Close the door.
