– Spin dry selection
button
This button enables you to select a more
gentle spin speed. This is especially
recommended for washing garments
which have been worn and washed a great
deal or any garments whose materials
have special finishes
If you then go on to a drying programme,
you should bear in mind that the this will
take longer and will consequently work out
more expensive.
– Crease guard button
When you select this button the program-
me will stop during the last rinse, leaving
the garments floating in the water inside
the drum, thereby preventing any creases
from forming. You can then either press the
button once more to finish the programme
or select the drainage programme only to
drain away the water should you want to
avoid the spin dry programme.
Starting
Your washing machine can carry out a was-
hing programme, a drying programme or a
washing and drying programme (consecu-
tive drying).
Here is an explanation of each of these.
- Selecting a wash-only programme
1. Select the number of the programme
that you want with the Programme
Selector Control (6).
2. The Drying Time Selector Control (7)
must be set at STOP.
3. Select the wash temperature you want
with the Temperature Selector Control
(8).
4. Press whichever of the additional func-
tion buttons that you may want.
5. Press the START button.
- Selecting a combined washing and
drying programme
The process is the same as a wash-only
programme except that you set the Drying
Time Selector Control (7) at the temperatu-
re you want.
- Selecting a dry only programme
1. Turn the Programme Selector Control
(6) to letter corresponding to the type
of drying programme you want (S or D)
2. With the Drying Time Selector Control
select the drying time that you want.
3. Press the START button.
Loading garments into the
drum
Opening the loading door
To open the loading door, pull the handle 3
(Fig. 1) outwards.
Loading the drum
We recommend you to follow these steps
when loading garments into the drum:
– Make sure that there is nothing in any of
the pockets.
– Do not put any garments in which are
folded or crumpled up.
– Put the garments into the drum one by
one so that they do not become tan-
gled. Make sure that you put the sma-
llest items at the back of the drum.
– Do not press them down.
– Remember that there are different
recommended weights of loads for dif-
ferent programmes.
– When washing towels and similar
items, try to avoid washing them on
their own, always put them in with other
garments.
Once you have loaded everything into the
drum, press the loading door until it is clo-
sed tight. Make sure that nothing gets trap-
ped between the loading door and the rub-
ber seal.
