We suggest a rinse and spin programme with a small amount of detergent. Fig 16 1 2 3 Wash powder and conditioner compartment The detergent dispenser is designed to automatically flush detergents and additives into your appliance. It is divided into three compartments (Fig 16), which are as follows: 1 Pre-wash and bio powders 2 Main washing powder 3 Fabric conditioners NOTE: The detergent dispenser drawer and housing should be periodically cleaned to prevent a build up of detergent and fabric softener. The dispenser drawer is easily removed by pulling it out as far as it will go, then press on the plastic part of the conditioner grill marked `PUSH'. Rinse the dispenser drawer under the tap, dry and replace by slotting the top drawer into the runners on the top of the opening and close in the normal way. Check that pockets are empty and that zips, buttons and hooks are closed. Remember buttons that are not securely fitted could be removed during a wash and could cause damage to clothing and your machine. Always check clothing care labels before you select a wash programme. Fig 17 Load the laundry Open the door by pulling the catch outwards. Load the items to be washed one at a time and close the door (Fig 17). Fig 18 Add the detergent Open the detergent drawer by pushing the lower section of the drawer front Measure the required quantity of washing powder and pour it into the detergent compartment (Fig 18) or directly into the drum of the appliance if you are using a wash ball. (See section on Detergents and Additives). 11 W A S H I N G M A C H I N E Fig 19 Add the conditioner Pour the conditioner into compartment 3 (Fig 19) but do not exceed the MAX level. If you slam the drawer, it could cause the conditioner to enter the appliance prematurely. Fig 20 Select the programme Turn the selector dial clockwise until the required programme number is opposite to the indicator mark on the selector dial (Fig 20). Select options required. Select the temperature - temperature must be selected This is only necessary if you are selecting a temperature lower than the defined temperature of the programme selected. Start up Check that: 1 The appliance is plugged in. The programme is complete when the dial is pointing to `·', and the appliance has stopped. SWASH HETIC Fig 21 The end At the end of a programme the appliance automatically stops. The door is controlled by a safety device, which releases 1 ­ 2 minutes after the end of the programme. Open the door once the safety catch is released and remove all the articles of clothing. When the programme has finished, you are advised to unplug the appliance and turn off the water taps. NOTE: Do not attempt to turn the programme selector dial anticlockwise. Should you turn past the required programme continue to turn the dial to reset. Do not turn the programme selector dial whilst the machine is switched on and working, if necessary switch off the machine before attempting to move the dial. 12 W A S H I N G M A C H I N E LAUNDRY PREPARATION Before you start washing, sort out your laundry into washing loads according to type of fabric, degree of soiling, colour fastness, drip dry, etc. All the articles in a load must be able to be washed at the same temperature. NOTE: Clothing care labels on all clothes must be adhered to at all times. 1 Check the clothing care label on all articles; if in doubt refer to the sections on main wash programmes & fabric guide. [. . . ] If no colour has been transferred, the dye is fast and you can proceed. If colour has been transferred, the dye is not fast; advice should be sought from a dry cleaner. 18 W A S H I N G M A C H I N E TROUBLESHOOTING If your appliance fails to operate, to avoid unnecessary and possibly expensive service calls, it is in your own interest to make the following preliminary checks: If the appliance does not start 1 2 3 4 5 Is Is Is Is Is the the the the the electricity on?programme selected properly?
