Preparing the wash cycle Preparing your garments for washing o Your washing should be sorted out, according to the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is printed on the garment’s wash care label. (see separate section on wash care symbols). o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure that they are empty.
A selection of wash care symbols o The wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the highest temperature which the garment can be washed at.
Detergents and conditioners The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will depend on o The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general require less detergent. o The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a reduction in the amount of detergent.
Wash program guidance o A program option can only be selected if there is a tick next to the wash program in the program table. o If you use the “Rapid wash” and Extra rinse” program options simultaneously, then they will cancel each other out. o The washing machine automatically selects a spin speed for a particular wash program.
Selecting a wash program Load your laundry and put detergent in the relevant compartment of the soap drawer. Close the porthole door firmly. Turn the wash program selection knob to your desired wash cycle. o The LCD display will show the approximate time the chosen wash cycle will take to complete.
Cancelling a wash program To stop a wash program once a wash cycle is in progress, press the START/STOP button and keep it depressed until the READY END light comes on. o The LOCK DOOR light will remain on. A key symbol will appear in the LCD display.
Delay start feature Your appliance has a delay start feature, which allows you to pause the start of a wash cycle until a later time. Follow the process listed under “Selecting a wash program” After pressing the Start/Stop button, immediately press the Start/Stop button again.
Spin reduction button Your washing machine will automatically select an appropriate spin speed for each wash program. However it is possible to decrease the spin speed that it automatically selects, by pressing the spin reduction button. Turn the wash program selection knob to the wash program that you want to use.
Maintenance and cleaning In daily use Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out. Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a wash cycle has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and to protect the door seal.
