OPERATION
Operation Overview
Using the Appliance
Before the first wash, select the Normal wash
programme and add a half amount of the
detergent. Start the appliance without laundry.
This will remove possible residues and water
from the drum that may have been left during
manufacturing.
1
Sort laundry and load items.
• Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, colour
and load size as needed. Open the door
and load items into the appliance.
2
Add detergent or softener.
• Add the proper amount of detergent to the
detergent dispenser drawer. If desired, add
bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate
areas of the dispenser.
3
Turn on the appliance.
• Press the Power button to turn on the
appliance.
4
Choose the desired cycle.
• Press the cycle button repeatedly or turn
the cycle selector knob until the desired
cycle is selected.
• Now select a wash temperature and spin
speed. Pay attention to a fabric care label of
your clothes.
5
Begin cycle.
• Press the Start/Pause button to begin the
cycle. The appliance will agitate briefly
without water to measure the weight of
the load. If the Start/Pause button is not
pressed within 15 minutes, the appliance
will shut off and all settings will be lost.
6
End of cycle.
• When the cycle is finished, a melody will
sound. Immediately remove your clothing
from the appliance to reduce wrinkling.
Check around the door seal when removing
the load for small items that may be caught
in the seal.

Preparing the Laundry
Sort laundry for best washing results, and then
prepare laundry according to the symbols on the
care labels.
Sorting the Clothes
• For best washing results, sort your clothes
according to a care label stating fabric type and
washing temperature. Adjust the spin speed to
wash them.
• Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate
clothes according to soil level. If possible, do
not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
ones.
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash separately
dark or dyed clothes from whites or light
colours. Mixing dyed clothes with light clothes
can result in dye transfer or discolouration of
lighter clothes.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash
separately lint producing fabrics from lint
collecting fabrics. Lint producers can result in
pilling and linting on the lint collectors.
