Operating sequence

Before washing your first load of laundry, we recommend
that you run a cotton cycle at 60°C, with the machine
empty, in order to remove any manufacturing residue
from the drum and tub.
Pour half a measure of detergent into the main wash
compartment and start up the machine.
1. Place the laundry in the drum
Open the door.
Place the laundry in the drum, one item at a time,
shaking them out as much as possible.
Close the door.
2. Measure out the detergent
Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops. Measure out
the amount of detergent recommended by the
manufacturer in a graduated cup and pour it into the
main wash compartment
If you wish to carry out the prewash, pour detergent into
the appropriate compartment marked
3. Measure out the additives
If required, pour fabric softener into the compartment
marked , without exceeding the «MAX» mark.

The machine stops automatically. The mains on light
goes out.
If you have selected a programme which ends with the
water of the last rinse left in the tub, drain the water
before opening the door. Select programme "P" (drain)
or "G" (spin).
Wait one or two minutes before opening the door to
give the electric locking mechanism time to release
it.
Remove the laundry.
Turn the drum by hand to make sure it is completely
empty, so as to avoid any forgotten items being
damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. shrinking) or their
colour running into a load of whites.
Release any buttons which have been pressed.
Turn the water tap off and unplug the machine.
Leave the door ajar to air the machine.
