Load the drum with dry
laundry.
The drum has been loaded
correctly when you can still
turn your hand freely between
drum wall and laundry.
Maximum load about 4.5 kg
(10 Ibs) dry laundry (less if
washing heavily soiled items).
On programmes without spin-
drying the max. load is about
2 kg (4 lbs) and on special care
programmes about 1 kg (2 Ibs).
Please ensure that nothing
falls into the space between
drum and tub!
Close the drum.
Carefully hook first the rigid
and then the movable clamp of
the drum lid into the drum
fittings and press down the grip
handle.
The locking button must
engage.
Please check that the grip
handle cannot be raised now
without pressing the locking
button.
Pour the washing powder for
the prewash directly on to the
drum and for the main wash
into the wash powder dispenser
which pulls out in the direction
of the arrow. The wash powder
dispenser returns automati-
cally into its starting position.
If you wish to soft-rinse the
laundry, add fabric softener to
the small dispenser on the
right.
Always follow the manufac-
turer's instructions when using
starch, i. e. dissolve the starch
and pour it directly on the drum
(select separate starching
programme).
On normal programmes (normal
water level) allow sufficient
washing powder for about
20 litres (approx. 4 gals.), on
special-care programmes
(high water level) for about
30 litres (5'/2 gals.).
1 fabric softener
2 washing powder for the
main wash
Close the lid of the machine.
The lid must engage.
Open the lid during a
programme cycle and the
programme stops. A special
locking mechanism prevents
opening of the lid during
spinning.
