Please read these points carefully before installing and using your appliance. [. . . ] You can also select "No spin"*, "Rinse * hold" or "Night silence plus" *. At the end of the programme, if you have selected "Rinse hold" or "Night silence plus" , you then need to select a "Spin", "Delicate Spin" or "Drain" programme to finish the cycle. "Night silence plus" The washing machine does not empty the water after the final rinse which prevents the washing from creasing. Because there are no spin cycles, the washing programme is very quiet and can be selected at night. In Cotton and Synthetics programmes, the rinsing cycle uses more water. "Rinse hold" The washing machine will not drain the water from the last rinse, so will not crease the laundry. Selecting options You must select the different options after selecting the programme and before pressing the "Start/Pause" pushbutton (see "Programme table"). If one of the options is not compatible with the selected programme, the "Start/Pause" pushbutton flashes red. "Super Quick" option The washing time will be reduced depending on the programme selected. "Eco" option This option allows you to choose a lower temperature programme which is as effective as a higher temperature wash programme. "Prewash" option The appliance runs a prewash at 30°C max. The prewash finishes with a short spin cycle for cotton or synthetic programmes, and with an empty cycle for delicates programmes. *depending on model 10 How to run a wash cycle "Extra rinse" option The washing machine will add one or more rinses during the cycle. For mixed loads, loads with items of different types of material, choose a programme and a temperature suitable for the most fragile material. · Wash whites and colours separately : Otherwise, whites will be coloured or will turn grey. Follow care instructions "wash separately" and "wash separately several times". · Turn multilayered fabrics (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc. ), coloured headwear, wool and material with printed designs inside out. · Wash small fragile items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a net bag. Remove hooks and place net curtains in a net or bag. Wash loads depending on type of materials The amount of washing placed in the drum must not exceed the maximum capacity of the washing machine. Reduce the quantity if washing is heavily soiled or made of absorbant material. Not all textiles have the same volume in the drum or the same water absorption levels. In general, the drum must therefore be filled : · to full capacity but avoiding excessive pressure on cotton, linen and cotton/linen mixtures, · to half capacity for processed cottons and synthetic fibres, · to a third of its capacity for very fragile items such as net curtains and woollens. Detergents and additives Only use detergents and additives designed for use in a washing machine. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations and also Dispenser box and Using the right amount of detergent sections.
