Compartment 1 Prewash cycle detergent (powder) Compartment 2 Wash cycle detergent (powder or liquid) Compartment 3 Fabric softner 3 1 2 Check wash labels Garments and laundry generally have wash instruction labels (which tell you if they shloud be dry-cleaned, hand washed or machine washed) showing the wash temperature, how to iron etc. Important: fabrics should only be machine washed if their labels show the appropriate symbol (see table 1 page 4). Never fill compartment 3 above the grid. Use compartment 2 for liquid detergent, filling the compartment just before you start the washer. Remember that liquid detergent is ideal for wash cycles with temperatures up to 60°C and for the programmes with no prewash cycle. Dispensers for liquid and powder detergents which are placed inside the drum of the washer, are sold on the market. To improve the effectiveness of the washing cycle, we recommend that you insert a detergent dispenser in the drum before loading the laundry. Do not use hand washing detergents since these produce very heavy suds. When using cold wash cycles, remember to reduce the detergent dosage. Alternate small and large items when loading your washer This washer has an electronic load balancing control: before carrying out the spin cycle, this device ensures that the laundry is arranged as evenly as possible in the drum, according to the type of fabric and the way it was initially loaded. This will minimize vibration and noise even during the fastest spin cycle. Try this washing hint to prevent creases: fold the curtains carefully and place in a pillow case or loose mesh bag; wash separately ensuring that the weight is no more than a half wash load. Quilts, tennis shoes and wind-cheaters Contrary to common belief, goose or duck down quilts and wind-cheaters, can in fact be machine washed, provided the instructions shown on the label are followed carefully. Remember however to load no more than 2-3 kg of laundry and to repeat the rinse cycle once or twice following with a gentle spin. In the case of tennis shoes, wipe off mud and then machine wash with denims or heavy fabrics (but not white fabrics). Do not exceed the recommended weights shown in the table For best washing results, do not exceed the recommended weights shown in the table; the weights shown refer to dry laundry.

Just pull it towards you, as shown in the diagram, and leave it under running water for a few minutes. Inspecting the drain pump Your washer has a self-cleaning pump and therefore requires no cleaning or mainteannce. Remember however that small items such as buttons or coins may accidentally fall into the pump. To remove these items, the pump comes equipped with an "prechamber" which is accessible from the front of the pump. To gain access to this prechamber simply remove the panel located on the bottom part of the washer (figure 1), place it on the ground near the machine (figure 2), and remove the lid by turning it in the counter clockwise direction. Carefully inspect the inside of the pump. Important: before removing the lid check that the wash cycle has ended and unplug the washer from the mains. [. . . ] If the washer is installed on a carpeted floor, check that there is sufficient ventilation space between the floor and the bottom of the washer. Water supply Both hot and cold water supplies are preferable and they should be between 34. 5kN/m²(5lb/in²) and 1034. 2kN/m² (150lb/in²) pressure. The hose having the red end fitting should be encountered between the hot supply and the threaded connection adjacent to the letter H on the rear of the machine. The hose having the white end fittings should be connected between the cold supply and the threaded connection adjacent to the letter C on the rear of the machine (see fig. Remember to insert a sealing washer at each connection to ensure watertight joints. [. . . ]
