quickly.

Additional Information:-
Pause Option: Within 5 minutes of starting a wash, it is possible to add/remove
laundry items. Press the “Inicio/Pausa” button to unlock the door. If the water is too
hot or the water level is too high the door will not open. After closing the door, press
the “Inicio/Pausa” button again to restart the wash.
When the cycle is finished: The power will turn off automatically. Open the door and
remove the laundry.
* Pre-wash is only required if clothing is heavily soiled. It is only available when
selecting the Cotton, Synthetics, Baby Care and Daily wash cycles.
** Add the recommended amount of detergent directly into the left hand
compartment marked II. If required, add the recommended amount of fabric
softener into the middle compartment marked with a flower symbol. Please do not
exceed the maximum level which is clearly indicated. Lastly, if using the pre-wash
option, add the recommended amount of detergent into the right hand compartment
marked I. A few other tips:- (1) If you are washing large items, don’t use
tablet/capsule type detergents or detergents using a ball & net and (2)
concentrated/thick fabric softener should be diluted with a little water before being
poured into the compartment. It stops blockages!!
