Operations

QUICK START
CAUTION!

• Before washing, please make sure the appliance is properly installed.
• Your appliance was thoroughly checked before it left the factory. To remove any residual water and to neutralize potential odors, it’s recommended to clean your appliance before the first use. To do so, please run the Drum clean program without laundry and detergent. See the chapter WASHING.

CALIBRATING THE APPLIANCE!
It’s recommended to calibrate the appliance before using it, so that it provides the best performance. The appliance is able to detect the amount of laundry that is loaded in the drum. This function will optimize the appliance’s performance by minimizing energy and water consumption, saving you money and time. Therefore it’s recommended to calibrate the appliance for the best use.

1. Remove all accessories from the drum and close the door.
2. Insert the mains plug to the power outlet.
3. Switch on the appliance and press START DELAY and TEMP simultaneously for 10 seconds until [t19] is displayed.
4. Press to start the appliance. The drum will spin in order to calibrate it.
5. Wait till the drum stops spinning and a [ random number ] is displayed.
6. Switch the appliance off.

BEFORE EACH WASHING

• The ambient temperature of the appliance should be 5-40°C. If used under 0°C, the inlet valve and draining system may be damaged. If the appliance is installed under freezing conditions, it should be transferred to a normal ambient temperature environment to ensure the water supply hose and the water discharge hose can unfreeze before use.
• Before each washing, sort your laundry by reading the wash labels and the detergent use instructions. Use non-foaming or less-foaming detergent suitable for machine washing.

WARNING!

• Do not wash clothes that have been cleaned, washed, soaked in or dabbed with combustible or explosive substances like wax, oil, paint, gasoline, alcohol, kerosene or other flammable materials.
• Washing single items may easily create big eccentricity and cause vibrations and noise due to unbalance. Therefore it is suggested to add one or two more laundry items to the wash so that spinning can be done smoothly.

Adding laundry
It is possible to add or remove laundry during a washing cycle. After a certain period of time, the appliance door can be opened if the water level and temperature are below a predefined threshold. If the conditions below are met, then the electronic door lock is released and the appliance door can be opened:

• water temperature in the drum has to be suitable;
• water level in the drum has to be below a certain value.

CAUTION
When the drum is still rolling and there is a large amount of water with high temperature in the drum, the›state is unsafe and the door cannot be opened forcefully.

• Don’t use the ADDING LAUNDRY function when the water level is over the edge of the inner drum or when the water temperature is high.

In order to add or remove laundry from the drum during a washing cycle, proceed as follows:

1. Press the START PAUSE button for 3 seconds.
2. Wait until the drums stops rotating.
3. The door will unlock.
4. Open the door and add or remove the laundry.
5. Close the door and press the START PAUSE button. The washing cycle will resume.

NOTE!

• Before adding hardened lumps of powder detergent or a thick stringy liquid detergent or additive into the dispenser tray, it›can be diluted in some water before pouring it in, as this may clog the piping in the appliance and cause a water overflow.
• Choose a suitable type of detergent, fitting to the selected washing temperature and fabric, to get the maximum washing performance and a minimum of water and energy consumption.
• Add powder or liquid detergents according to the manufacturer’s instructions, considering the washing temperature, washing program, how soiled the laundry is, and water hardness.

CAUTION!

• If a considerable amount of laundry is added during the washing cycle, the laundry could be washed less effectively, since›the appliance initially sensed a lower weight of the laundry load and added a smaller amount of water. Insufficient amount of water relative to the amount of laundry could also cause damage to the laundry (rubbing of dry laundry), and the washing time can be longer.
• The washing time will resume from the point at which the washing program was interrupted.
