Control panel 1) Water level button: Use this button to select the appropriate water level according to the volume of laundry. 2) Process button: Press this button to set the features of the wash program. Each press of the button will scroll through the following choices.
Detergent drawer o Open the washing machine lid and pull out the detergent drawer to add detergent powder to the wash program. Then push the drawer back in before introducing laundry into the machine and setting the wash program. Only powder detergents should be placed in the drawer.
Softener o An automatic softener input device is not available with this machine, so if you would like to use it, you should pause the wash program before the last bleaching operation and introduce softener manually. o You should always follow the manufacturer’s directions when using softener to avoid damage to clothing.
o Woollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out before being washed in the appliance. o Small delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in either a washing net or a zipped pillow case. o Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the appliance.
Selecting a wash program Detergent o If you are placing detergent directly into the drum, you should dilute it first (See ‘Detergent Drawer’ section). o Alternatively, put detergent powder into the detergent drawer. Please see the table on page 14 for recommended amounts according to the water level and weight of laundry.

4-5.5 2.5-4 1-2.5 Less than 1 IMPORTANT: A high water level should not be selected for a washing load below 1 kg as water can splash during the cycle. Washing load size o The water level and amount of detergent required largely depends on the size of the wash load.
Delay start You are able to delay the start of a wash cycle so the laundry is finished at a time that is most convenient to you. o You should introduce the detergent into the detergent drawer or drum and then add the laundry as normal. You can then select your required wash program following the instructions outlined in the previous section.
Imbalance control o If the laundry load is unbalanced when the washing machine begins to spin, the cycle will stop while more water is added to redistribute the load. This process may be repeated until the load is sufficiently balanced for the spin to continue. o If there is excessive vibration during the spin part of the program, you should open the lid and wait until the drum stops moving.
Detergent drawer Occasionally the detergent drawer should be cleaned, to remove any detergent residue that has built up. o Remove the drawer and wash in warm, soapy water. o Detergent can also accumulate inside the detergent drawer recess, so you should also clean this out using a brush. o Once you have finished cleaning the detergent drawer and recess, you should slide the drawer back into its original position.

o Detach the filter from the drum wall. o Wash the filter and filter cover in warm soapy water before drying thoroughly. o Clip filter back into position on the drum wall. o Reattach the filter cover by sliding it back down into its original position.
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 by hand helps to loosen soil before the main wash.
