Wash program guidance o A wash program option, such as Economy or Easy-Iron can only be selected if the program table advises that it is possible with the wash cycle you have selected (see page 10 or 15 for details) o Important: You should make sure that the selected spin speed is appropriate for the garments that you are washing.
Pausing a wash program o If you want to pause a wash program temporarily, you should press the start/pause button (3). o When you want to restart the wash cycle, press the start/pause (3) button again. Delay start feature Your appliance has a delay start feature, which allows you to delay the start of a wash cycle until a later time.
Easy-Iron function o The Easy-Iron function means that the machine will not execute the last drain of the wash cycle – until the start/pause button is pressed. o This means that the laundry will sit in the water until you are ready to remove it for drying, preventing it from developing creases.
Maintenance and cleaning In daily use o Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out. o Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a wash cycle has completed.
o Detergent can also accumulate inside detergent drawer recess, so you should also clean this out using warm soapy water and a soft cloth. o Once you have finished cleaning the detergent drawer and recess, you should slide the drawer back into its original position.
Cleaning the drain pump filter IMPORTANT: Switch off your washing machine and disconnect the plug from your mains supply. You should clean out the filter approximately every ten washes. If the drain pump filter is not cleaned regularly, then your appliance may find it difficult to pump out water efficiently.
Cleaning the water inlet filter o Clean the filter approximately every 6 months, when water leaks from the water inlet, or if there are frequent interruptions to your water supply. o Always pull the power plug out before cleaning. 1) Use long-nose pliers to remove the water inlet filter 2) Clean carefully with a gauze brush and then replace.
Removing stains Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the washing machine. o Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like blood, milk or grass. o Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash.
