Before the first wash cycle To remove any residual water used in testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that you carry out a short wash cycle without laundry. 1. Turn on the tap. 2. Close the door. 3. Pour a little detergent (about 30 ml) into the detergent compartment . 4. Select and start a short programme (see quick reference guide). Preparing to wash 1.Sort the laundry according to... • Type of fabric / care label symbol Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/ synthetics, wool, handwashed items.
Detergent and Additives The choice of detergent depends on: • type of fabric (cottons, easy care/ synthetics, delicate items, wool). Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool; • colour; • the wash temperature; • degree and type of soiling. Remarks: Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble water softeners used in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents.
Filling the detergents and additives Chamber 1. Pull out the detergent dispenser to its full extent. 2. Fill the detergent: • Programme with pre and main wash. • Main wash programme without prewash. When using liquid detergent, remove the coloured insert from the detergent container and fit it in the chamber. The graduate scale on the insert makes dosing easier. • Fabric softener (no more than to the “MAX” mark). • Stain remover. • Water softener (water hardness 4). • Starch (dissolved in water). 3.
Removing the Filter 1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it. 2. Open the filter cover. Open the filter cover with the aid of the coloured insert from the detergent container. 3. Place a container beneath it. 4. Open the filter but do not withdraw it completely. Slowly turn the handle anticlockwise until the water drains out. 5. Wait until all the water has drained off. 6. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it. 7. Clean the filter and the filter chamber. 8. Check that the pump rotor moves freely.
