4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. BEFORE WASHING
Sort the linen according on the temperature and the instructions of the manufacturer of the fabrics. Check
if there aren't any strange objects between the linen like nails, screws, needles, etc. in order not to damage
the washer-extractor or the linen. Turn sleeves of shirts, blouses, etc. inside out. To get a better washing
result, you have to unfold the fabrics and mix the bigger and smaller pieces of fabrics.
4.2. OPEN THE DOOR
Open the door by pulling on the door handle.
4.3. LOADING THE WASHER
CAUTION!
!
The optimal washing load is determined by the filling factor. The proper filling factor is determined by the type
of linen and other factors. Cotton textiles normally require a filling factor of 1:10-1:13, which is a full drum load.
Put the linen in the drum depending on the maximum capacity of the washer. Do not overload the washer extractor.
Overloading the machine can lead to a bad wash result. Half washing loads can obstruct a proper function.
Synthetics and blended fabrics usually require a filling factor of 1:18-1:20, which is half drum load. Loading more
will reduce the wash result and can damage the linen.
4.4. CLOSE THE DOOR
Close the door with the door handle, making sure the door is properly latched before operating the washer.
4.5. PROGRAM SELECTIONS
Choose one of the available wash programs, best corresponding to the quality of the garments and allowed
wash temperature in the wash load. Insert the wash program number. The different washing programs are
indicated on the operator panel. The selection of the program determines the temperature and the time for
washing and rinsing, the wash action and the spin speed and time. If you wish, you can adapt the wash
programs. (See programming manual)
4.6. ADD DETERGENTS
Washer extractors with top soap dispenser.
Fill the soap dispenser on the top of the washer extractor depending of the chosen program.
