3. HOW TO DO A WASH ?
Before the first wash in your washing machine, we re-
commend that you should do a preliminary wash at
90°C with detergent but without any washing to clean
the tub.
3.1. Loading the washing
• Lift the machine cover.
• Open the drum by pressing on the locking button A;
the two flaps automatically separate.
• Insert the washing, close the drum and the cover of
your washing machine.
Warning : before you close
the cover of your washing
machine, make sure that the
drum door is properly closed:
•the two flaps latched
together,
•the locking button A exten-
ded.
3.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine was designed to reduce water
and detergent consumption, therefore reduce the do-
ses recommended by detergent manufacturers.
Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash com-
partment and into the prewash compartment if
you chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener
into the compartment if you wish.
If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the
«detergents and additives» section in the washing gui-
de.
3.3. Choice of the required program
The programs table will tell you which is the appropriate
program for your washing type (see § 4).
Put the program selector
onto the required program.
3.4. Choice of the spinning speed
The maximum spin speed is de-
fined as a function of the type of
washing and depending on the
selected program.
However, you can reduce the
speed or choose the rinse hold*,
drain*, or spinning suppression*
positions.
3.5. Choice of the required option
The various options
should be chosen after
the program has been
displayed and before
pressing the Start/Pause
pushbutton.
Press the required pushbutton(s) ; the corresponding
lights come on. When you press again, the lights go off.
When one of these options is not compatible with the
chosen program, the corresponding light will flash for a
few seconds (see program table).
3.5.1. «Delayed start» pushbutton
This option delays start of the program. Select the num-
ber of hours after which you want the program to begin
by pressing on the pushbutton one or several times.
3.5.2. «Rinse plus» pushbutton
This option adds two rinses on Cotton, Synthetics and
Delicates programs. It is advised for allergic people to
detergent products and in areas with fresh water.
3.5.3. «Quick wash» pushbutton
If you select this function, the wash time is reduced
depending on which program you chose.
3.5.4. «Rinse hold» pushbutton
If you use this pushbutton, the tub remains full of water
at the end of the last rinse to prevent the washing from
becoming creased if it is not taken out of the drum as
soon as the washing machine is stopped.
3.6. Starting the program
After you chose the washing program, press
the Start/Pause pushbutton to start the cy-
cle. The corresponding light stays on.
It is normal that the program selector does
not turn during the cycle.
