How to wash correctly
C Load the drum
^ Unfold the laundry and load loosely
in the drum. To achieve best results it
is advisable to make up mixed loads
consisting of both large and small
items. This improves the washing
effect and helps distribute the load
evenly to keep the machine stable
and reduce the noise level during
spinning.
To save energy and water, try to load
the maximum for the programme
selected.
However, be careful not to overload the
machine. Overloading reduces the
wash result and causes more creasing.

Failure to observe these
instructions may cause damage to

of the drum flap regularly to ensure
smooth operation.
