Ideal for frequent washes, for example, in the case of very sensitive skin (not compatible with the Rinse plus option). Time saving This function allows you to reduce the length of the cycle depending on the type of programme selected.

After closing the lid again, press the START/PAUSE pushbutton. If you use a liquid detergent for a wash cycle with start delay, use a dosing ball that you place directly in the drum and select a programme without pre- wash. If you want to do a pre-wash at the same time as a start delay, please use a powder detergent. Start of the programme 1.Check whether the water inlet tap is open. 2.Press the START/PAUSE button.

Washing guide15 Washing guide Sorting and preparing the washing Sort washing by type and care label (refer to International symbols section below) : normal wash for tough fabrics which can withstand intense washing and spinning cycles ; delicate wash for delicate fabrics which need to be treated with care. For mixed loads, loads with items of different types of material, choose a programme and a temperature suitable for the most fragile material. Wash whites and colours separately : Otherwise, whites will be coloured or will turn grey. New coloured clothes often contain excess dye. It is recommended to wash such items separately the first time. Follow care instructions “wash separa- tely” and “wash separately several times”. Empty pockets and unfold items. Remove loose buttons, pins and fasteners. Close zip fasteners, tie ups laces and straps. , anoraks, etc.), coloured headwear, wool and material with printed designs inside out. Wash small fragile items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a net bag. Take special care with curtains. Remove hooks and place net curtains in a net or bag. Wash loads depending on type of materials The amount of washing placed in the drum must not exceed the maximum capacity of the washing machine. This capacity can vary depending on the type of materials. Reduce the quantity if washing is heavily soiled or made of absorbant material. Not all textiles have the same volume in the drum or the same water absorp- tion levels. In general, the drum must therefore be filled : to full capacity but avoiding excessive pressure on cotton, linen and cotton/ linen mixtures, to half capacity for processed cottons and synthetic fibres, to a third of its capacity for very fragile items such as net curtains and woollens. For mixed loads, fill drum depending on most fragile materials.
Washing guide16 Detergents and additives Only use detergents and additives designed for use in a washing machine. Re- fer to manufacturer’s recommendations and also Dispenser box and Using the right amount of detergent sections. We do not recommend mixing different types of detergents. This may spoil the washing. The amount of detergent to be used depends on the size of the load, the hard- ness of the water and how heavily soiled the washing is. If the water is soft, reduce the amount slightly. If the water contains lime sca- le (a descaler is recommended) or if the washing is heavily soiled or stained, increase the amount slightly. You can obtain information on the hardness level of water in your area by contacting your water company or other competent source. There are no restrictions on the use of powder detergents. Liquid detergents must not be used when a prewash has been selected. For cycles without prewash, they can be added either via means of a dosing ball, or in the detergent compartment. In either case, the wash cycle must be star- ted immediately. Detergent tablets or doses must be placed in the detergent compartment of your appliance’s dispenser box. For stain removal before a wash cycle, please refer to manufacturer’s recom- mended amounts and instructions. If you use a detergent to remove stains, the wash cycle must be started immediately.
