Make sure the door is fully closed,
otherwise the programme will not start.
5.3 Adding Detergent to the Machine
The amount of detergent you will need
to put in your machine will depend on
the following criteria:
If your clothes are only slightly soiled, do
•
not pre-wash. Put a small amount of
detergent (as specified by the
manufacturer) into compartment II of the
detergent drawer.
•
If your clothes are excessively soiled,
select a programme with pre-wash and
put ¼ of the detergent to be used into
compartment I of the detergent drawer
and the rest in compartment II.
Use detergents produced for automatic
•
washing machines. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions on the
amount of detergent to use.
In areas of hard water, more detergent
•
will be required.
The amount of the detergent required
•
will increase with higher washing loads.

•
Put softener in the middle compartment
of the detergent drawer. Do not exceed
the MAX level.
Thick softeners may cause clogging of
•
the drawer and should be diluted.
It is possible to use fluid detergents in
•
all programmes without a pre-wash. To
do this, slide the fluid detergent level
plate (*) into the guides in compartment
II of the detergent drawer. Use the lines
on the plate as a guide to fill the drawer
to the required level.
(*) Specifications may vary depending
on the machine purchased.
5.4 Operating Your Machine
1. Plug your machine in to the mains
supply.
2. Turn on the water supply.
•
Open the machine door.
•
Evenly spread your laundry in the
machine.
Gently push the door until it clicks shut.
•
5.5 Selecting a Programme
Use the programme tables to select the
most appropriate programme for your
laundry.
5.6 Half-Load Detection System
Your machine features a half-load
detection system.
If you put less than half the maximum load
of laundry into your machine it will
automatically set the half-load function,
regardless of the programme you selected.
This means that the selected programme
will take less time to complete and will use
less water and energy.
