[. . . ] The lid can only be opened around 2 minutes after the washing machine has come to a stop. 1. Position the programme dial on the OFF position : the washing machine is switched off. 4. Check that the drum is in fact empty: if any textiles remain inside, they could be damaged (shrunk) during the next wash or the colour could run onto other pieces of laundry. We recommend leaving the lid and drum open after use to ventilate the water tank. Standby mode If the appliance is on but no commands are selected for 10 min before or after a cycle, it goes into standby mode. The screen light goes out and START/ PAUSE flashes slowly. To exit standby mode, simply press any pushbutton or turn the programme selector. Washing guide 13 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 separately" and "wash separately several times". · Empty pockets and unfold items. · Remove loose buttons, pins and fasteners. Close zip fasteners, tie ups laces and straps. ·Turn multilayered fabrics (sleeping bags, 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 absorption 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.
