Note: You cannot open the door until you press 4. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling. Add the detergent, softener, and prewash detergent (if necessary) into the appropriate compartment. Note: Prewash is only available when washing cotton, synthetic and delicate garments. It is only necessary if your cotton clothing is heavily soiled. If you wish to use prewash, please see "Setting prewash" on page 10. Turn the Fuzzy Control dial to select the appropriate program for the type of clothes you are washing: Cotton, Synthetic, Delicate, Wool, Quick (for a fast cycle), Eco ( to economize on water usage), Drain (SWF-P14, SWF-P12). You will see the indicators light up on the control panel. At this time, you can control the wash temperature, spin speed and delay time by pressing the appropriate option button. Press the Start/Pause button on the Fuzzy Control dial and the wash cycle will begin. The time delay indicator will light up and the remaining time for the cycle will appear in the display. · Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action. · Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash program for pure new wool, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care chart in the appendix. Emptying pockets : Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the washing machine drum, and the water tank. Securing fasteners : Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together. Prewashing cotton : Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent. Determining load capacity: Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may not wash properly. Use the chart below to determine the load capacity for the type of laundry you are washing. Fabric Type Colored/cotton -average/lightly soiled -heavily soiled Synthetics Delicates Wools Load Capacity 5. 0 kg 5. 0 kg 2. 5 kg 2. 0 kg 1. 5 kg Detergent tips: The type of detergent you use is based on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling. Always use "low suds" laundry soap, which is designed for automatic washing machines. Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based upon the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not know how hard your water is, ask your water authority. Note: Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
