Water inlet Screw the supply ppe con-nector onto the water inlet tap (20x27 mm), remembering to use the washer provided with the washing machine. You cannot prolong the water inlet pipe.

Sorting and preparing your washing · Sort the washing by type and care symbol (see chapter 5. 4: International symbols for care of textiles): normal wash for strong washing that can resist energetic wash and spin; delicate wash for delicate washing that should be treated more carefully. For mixed loads composed of articles of different types of fibers, choose a program and temperature suitable for the most fragile fiber. Wash white washing and color washing separately. Otherwise, the white washing may be colored or look gray. New clothes very often have too much color. Preferably wash new clothes separately for the first time. Respect "wash separately" and "wash several times separately" care instructions. [. . . ] Reduce the quantity of washing if it is very dirty or if you have terry cloth type materials. Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention capacity. This is why in general the drum should be filled: · · · completely, but without excessive pressure for cotton and linen, and for mixed washe, half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers, about one third full for very delicate articles such as net curtains and wool. For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most delicate material. 6. 3. Detergents and additives Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing machine. [. . . ]
