When the programme has ended the machine will be ready for use. 1 Loading the machine Pull the door latch gently to open the door. Put the items to be washed inside the drum. Try always to wash full loads: for maximum load weights see the programme charts. You should only reduce the load weight for heavily-soiled items and sensitive fabrics. One way of achieving the maximum load size is to fill the drum with dry items, but without forcing them in. Another way is to weigh the first loads you wash, so you learn to estimate the right load size. Close the machine door. 2 Adding detergent and fabric conditioner The amount of detergent you use has an impact on the performance of any washing machine. Draining Synthetics Normally soiled F 60 n. 74 Synthetics Lightly soiled F 40 n. 74 Delicate fabrics Normally soiled G 30-40 n. 56 Woollens Lightly soiled H K L - 40 n. 2 Rinse-hold ­ Rinse-hold is an optional function available for the Synthetics, Delicate, and Wool programmes. To select rinse-hold, press the option button on the machine control panel. Rinse-hold means that the programme halts and the water from the last rinse is retained in the machine to minimise creasing in synthetic fibres. Once the programme has halted on rinse-hold, if you wish to end the wash with both emptying of water and spinning of the load, press the option button again so it pops out. If you wish to end the wash by emptying the water without spinning, you have to advance the programme control knob manually, to programme setting L. Before you advance the programme control knob manually, we recommend that you first press the On/Off button to switch the machine off (button pops out). Use a container such as a bowl to catch water running out of it.
