Before the first wash 1. Open the detergent dispenser drawer. 2. Pour about 1 litre of water through the detergent dispenser drawer into the washing machine. This closes the water container when the next programme is started and the economy valve can function properly. 3.

Unfold washing and load it loosely into the machine. Mix large and small items.
Dosing depends upon: – the washing’s degree of soiling, – the size of the load – the degree of hardness of the water supply. • If the manufacturer does not give instructions for small loads: for a half load, use a third less, for a very small load, use only half of the detergent that is recommended for a full load. • From water hardness 2 (= medium) upwards, water softener should be used. Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness 1 (= soft).

Important! Do not position the inlet hose vertically downwards. Position it to the right or the left as shown in the illustration. 2. Connect the hose with the straight connector to a water tap with an R ¾ (inch) screw thread. 3. To tighten or loosen the threaded hose fitting, only the metal nuts must be turned. When doing this, keep a firm hold on the housing of the safety valve with one hand, so that it does not turn at the same time.
