How to wash correctly
H Start the programme
^ Press the flashing Start/Stop button.
The estimated programme duration will
appear in the display once the
programme has started. During the first
8 minutes the machine measures how
much water is being absorbed by the
laundry. The programme duration may
be longer or shorter depending on this
absorbency rate.
The programme sequence is also
shown in the display. The washing
machine shows you when each section
of the programme is reached.
I Remove the laundry when the
programme has finished
In the anti-crease phase after the
programme has finished, the following
will appear in the display:
0:00 Finish
^ Press the Door button to open the
drum door.
^ Remove the laundry.

Check that all items have been
removed from the drum. Items left in
the drum could discolour other items
in the next wash or become
discoloured themselves.
^ Check the folds in the door seal for
any small articles, e.g. buttons which
might be lodged there.
^ Switch the machine off with the
I-On/0-Off button.
To avoid the build-up of mildew, it is
recommended that the door is left
ajar when the machine is not in use.
