[. . . ] The opening of the lid is only possible 2 minutes after the washing machine stops. If you choose the rinse hold pushbutton, the rinse hold light* illuminates to inform you that water has to be drained before you can open the cover. To terminate the cycle, you can then spin the washing by choosing the spinning program or drain it by choosing the drain program. Turn the program selector knob to the «Off» position. Pull out the power supply plug and close the water supply tap. Note: we recommend that you should leave the cover and the drum open after use to air the washing drum. *according to the model 6 4. PROGRAMS TABLE The following does not show all possibilities, but simply the most frequent settings. Program Washing type Load Possible options Tempera-tures °C Cotton White or color, for example normally dirty work clothes, bed linen, table linen, underwear, towels. Wash small delicate items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a washing net. Remove curtain hooks and put net curtains in a net bag or a sachet. 5. 3. Detergents and additives Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing machine. Read the manufacturer's instructions and respect sections 2 and 4. 2. Powder detergents can be used without restriction; liquid detergents should be poured either in the proportioning bowl directly in the drum, or in the wash compartment provided that the washing machine is started immediately; detergents in tablets or doses must be put into the wash compartment of the detergents dispenser in your washing machine. The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty the washing is. If the water is soft, you can reduce the doses slightly. Increase the doses slightly if the water is hard (it is recommended to use a water softener) or if the washing is very dirty or stained. You can ask the water distribution company in your region or any other competent authority to find out the degree of hardness of your water. · · · · · · · 5. 2. Washing load depending on the nature of the material The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must not exceed the maximum capacity of your washing machine. This capacity may vary depending on the nature of your textiles. 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. 8 5. 4. [. . . ] Moving your washing machine Tilt the washing machine backwards, rotate it by a quarter of a turn on one of its corner to remove the transport base. If you want to move your washing machine, lift it onto its rollers by pulling the lever at the bottom of the washing machine all the way to the left. When you have put your washing machine into the required location, put the lever back into its initial position. Open the washing machine lid and remove the immobilization packing and plastic films. Leveling Precise leveling will prevent vibrations, noise and movements of the washing machine during operation. [. . . ]
