Operating Instructions 9 WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the Important Safety Instructions and Operating Instructions before operating this appliance. Before doing any laundry with your washing machine Check to make sure your washer has been installed properly by following the installation instructions in this manual. ~ Installation instructions; Page 10 Check the machine. Never connect the utilities (power or water) to or start a damaged machine! Contact customer service! Check to be sure your household electrical system voltage and the voltage specifications on the washing machine rating plate correspond. Check to be sure the washer hot and cold water supply taps are turned on. Turning the washing machine on and off The rotating Cycle Selector turns the washer on as wash cycles are selected and off when the selector is later turned to the vertical Off position. Before loading your first load of laundry Your new washing machine was tested before leaving the factory. This process involves running various wash cycles. As a result, a small amount of water may remain in the tub and drainage system. Run a Drum Clean cycle with no laundry to clean the system before your first load of laundry. First add 1 to 2 tablespoons of detergent to the mainwash chamber II. Then run the Drum Clean cycle. Wait for the cycle to finish. Using the cycle selector to choose a wash cycle NOTICE: If the child lock feature is activated, you must deactivate it before you can set a cycle. ~ Child lock; Page 21 Use the cycle selector to select the desired cycle. Turns in both directions. The machine is switched on. In the display field, the cycle duration for the selected cycle appears and the indicator lamps for the pre-set temperature and spin speed options light up. Changing default cycle settings You can use the default settings or change them to your desired settings. Touch the appropriate button until the desired setting is displayed. The settings or options are active when the related indicator is lit. There is no need for additional confirmation on your part. The settings or options are not retained after the appliance is switched off (all are set back to default automatically). ~ Program selection table; Page 25 ~ Default Program and Option settings; Page 26 Selecting additional cycle settings By selecting additional settings, you can adjust the washing process to better suit the items you are washing. The settings can be selected and deselected depending on the cycle progress. The indicator lamps of the buttons light up if the setting is active. The settings are not retained after the appliance is switched off. Loading the laundry 9 WARNING To avoid risk of explosion! Laundry items that have been pretreated with any material containing solvents (e.g. stain remover, cleaner's solvent) must be rinsed out thoroughly by hand before they are placed in the washing machine. Loosen the laundry being loaded and mix small and large items Unfold the sorted items and place them loosely in the drum. Mix small and large items to help them better distribute in the drum during the spin cycle. Tip: Do not exceed the maximum load recommended for the type of wash. Overloading will cause poor wash results and will cause wrinkles. 19
