Open the machine lid by pulling it upwards. Open the drum by pressing the push button (pictures "1a" or "1b" - depending on model). Place the items of laundry into the drum one by one. Do not exceed the maximum load of the programmes indicated in the separate programme chart. Notes: - Overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry. - Take care that the laundry does not overhang the drum; if this is the case, push the laundry down into the drum so that there is enough free space to close the drum flaps properly. - Do not use the flaps to push the laundry into the drum. To close the drum, hold both doors in the middle again (picture "2"). ATTENTION: make sure that the drum flaps are properly locked - depending on the model: - the metal hook must be completely hooked into the rear door flap - see picture "2a", or - all metal hooks must be properly hooked inside the rear door flap, and the button must overlap the edge of the rear door flap - see picture "2b". · Fill the prepared starch solution (maximum 100 ml) into the softener chamber of the detergent dispenser. · Close the lid and start programme "Rinse and Spin".

Especially: · if the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to perform spin cycles. · if the "Clean pump" indication lights up. IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled before draining the appliance. Residual water must be drained also before transporting the machine. Turn the filter slowly anti-clockwise until the grip is vertical; do not remove it as yet. Wait until all the water has drained out. Now unscrew the filter completely and extract it.
