How to run a wash cycle?

Using for the first time

• Ensure the electrical and water con-

nections comply with the installation

instructions.

• Remove the polystyrene insert and

all other items inside the drum.

• Run an initial wash cycle at 90°C,

without any washing but with deter-

gent to clean the water tank.

Daily use

Loading washing

• Open the lid of the appliance.

• Open the drum by depressing the loc-

king button A : The two shutters

unlock automatically.

• Load the washing, close the drum

and the lid of your washing machine.

Before closing the lid of your appliance,

ensure that the drum is properly closed :

• When the two shutters are closed,

• locking button A released.

Proportioning of detergents

Your washing machine has been desi-

gned to reduce your water and deter-

gent consumption. You can therefore

reduce the amounts recommended by

detergent manufacturers.

Pour the amount of washing powder into

the washing and prewash com-

partments if you have selected the

“prewash” option. Pour fabric softener

into the compartment if necessary .

If you use another detergent type, refer

to the section “detergents and

additives” in the washing guide.

Selection of desired programme

You can find the right programme for

different types of washing in the

programme table (see “Programme

table”).

Turn the programme selector to the

required programme. The “Start/Pause”

pushbutton flashes green.

The symbols which correspond to the

different stages of the cycle are

displayed ( Wash, Rinse,

Drain, Spin).

If you turn the programme selector to

another programme while a cycle is in

10 how to run a wash cycle

progress, the appliance will ignore the

new selected programme. “Err” flashes

and the “Start/Pause” pushbutton

flashes red for a few seconds then the

current cycle display reappears.

Selecting the temperature

Press the “Temperature”

pushbutton repeatedly to in-

crease or decrease the tem-

perature if you want your

washing to be washed at a

different temperature to the

one selected by the applian-

ce. The symbol means a

cold wash.

Selecting the spin speed

Press the “Spin” pushbut-

ton to change the spin

speed, if you want your

washing to be spun at a dif-

ferent speed to the one se-

lected by the appliance. You

can also select “No spin”*,

“Rinse hold”*or “Night silen-

ce plus” *.

The maximum speeds are :

for Cotton and Denim : 1200 rpm,

for Wool and Hand Wash : 900 rpm,

for Synthetics, Easy to iron, Underwear

and Sport : 900 rpm,

for Delicates and Silk : 700 rpm.

At the end of the programme, if you have

selected “Rinse and hold” or “Night si-

lence plus” , you then need to select

a “Spin” or “Drain” programme to

finish the cycle.

“Night silence plus”

The washing machine does not empty

the water after the final rinse which pre-

vents the washing from creasing. Be-

cause there are no spin cycles, the

washing programme is very quiet and

can be selected at night. In Cotton and

Synthetics programmes, the rinsing cy-

cle uses more water.

Selecting options

You must select the different options af-

ter selecting the programme and before

pressing the “Start/Pause” pushbutton

(see “Programme table”). Press the de-

sired button(s) ; the corresponding lights

come on. If pressed again, the lights go

out. If one of the options is not compati-

ble with the selected programme, “Err”

flashes on the display and the “Start/

Pause” pushbutton flashes red.

“Prewash” option

The appliance runs a prewash at 30°C

max. The prewash finishes with a short

spin cycle for cotton or synthetic pro-

grammes, and with an empty cycle for

delicates programmes.

“Rinse plus” option

The washing machine will add one or

more rinses during the cycle.

This option is recommended for people

with sensitive skin and in soft water

areas.
