Washing
Before washing, select the washing programme
and prepare the machine for washing.
The control panel incorporates various switches
and pushbuttons for selecting washing
programmes, a control light, and a dispenser.
This instruction manual was prepared for various
models of washing machine. You may therefore
find in it descriptions of some functions that your
appliance doesn't have.

Programme Selection Knob
When the machine is switched off, turn the knob
clockwise.
Washing programmes are divided into three
groups and are marked with letters (A knob).
Programmes for non-delicates (A-F)
Programmes are intensive and concluded with
6-minutes spin cycle.
Programmes for delicates (G-L)
Programmes with gentle tumbling and are
concluded with short spin cycle (2 minutes).
Programme for Woolens (M)
Programme for woolens may as well be used for
washing delicates and specials. Laundry is
washed with higher water level and gentle
tumbling. The programme is concluded with 2
minutes spin cycle.
Spinning with interruptions
(only for models with 800 rpm. or more)
On programmes for resistant laundry the first two
spinning cycles are three times interrupted at the
beginning. This prevents excessive foaming of
the washing powder and improves spinning
results.
Temperature Selection Knob
Turn the knob clockwise (B knob).
Washing temperature may be optionally selected
up to 95
°
.
Programmes from A to B may be used as
economic programme, if the selected
temperature is lower than 95
°
C. This feature will
help you save energy up to 40%.
On the position marked with a snow flake, the
heaters are switched off and you can select cold
wash on all programmes. The duration of the
programme is the same as if the heaters are on.
