Make sure that nothing gets trapped between the loading door and the rubber seal. 63 ENGLISH Putting in the washing powder and additives Pour any washing powder or additives into the detergent drawer (Fig. 3) before starting the washing programme. Your washing machine's detergent drawer has three or four compartments, depending on the model, which have the following symbols: Compartment: Pour in the washing powder for the PREWASH. Compartment: Pour in the washing powder for the WASH Compartment: Pour in any liquid additives such as treatments, softeners, etc. 3) Optional drawer Liquid detergents can also be used in your washing machine, by using a special optional drawer which you can obtain by getting in touch with the TECNICAL ASSISTANCE NETWORK. This drawer must be placed in the COMPARTMENT of the detergent drawer (Fig. As for the dosage to use, always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. But in no event must the level of the detergent exceed the MAX level marked on the side of the drawer. Detergent Only use detergents which are appropriate for washing garments in automatic washing machines, ones which are good quality and which do not produce froth. The NORMAL Cycles are generally the ones to use for washing resistant materials such as cotton, resistant synthetics, linen, etc. , whereas the DELICATE Cycles with their gentler drum rhythm movement, lower temperatures and higher levels of water are designed for washing synthetic materials, as well as materials such as wool, silk, etc. All models which have a Washing Temperature Selection Control also have an automatic variable load regulator which ensures that the water and energy consumption are automatically adjusted to the amount of clothing which is going to be washed. Table of programmes Here is a detailed table of all the washing machine programmes. Make sure that you refer to it, for it gives you all of the information relating to the different kinds of washing programmes which your washing machine offers you. An abbreviated version of the table can be found on the front or top panel of the detergent dispenser, or on a card included in the documentation bag. Remember that as well as the following washing programmes, your washing machine also has two types of drying programmes: Programme S: Normal Drying Programme D: Delicate Drying 65 Programme guide Normal wash programmes: For cotton, linen and canvas fabrics, etc. Recommended temp. range Label symbols Soil level and colour Washing product compartments Estimated duration (minutes) kWh litres Recommended maximum load: 5, 0 Kg.

Select the number 2 WASHING PROGRAMME (90º C without prewash) using the Programme Selector Control (6). Place a flat container under the filter to catch the small amount of water that will come out when you remove the filter cover. [. . . ] Important: Some models (high speed spin dry) have a safety device incorporated into their spin dry programmes which means that the programme will stop should the garments inside the drum concentrate in such a way as to create an excessive level of vibrations. Should you ever find that the garments are not sufficiently wrung out, try spin drying them once more after you have distributed them more evenly inside the drum. Troubleshooting guide Should anything go wrong with the functioning of the washing machine, you can probably put it right by referring to the following advice. However, should the problem persist, unplug the washing machine and contact our TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE. There are no fuses or analogue components which can be changed by the user. [. . . ]
