BEFORE WASHING
5.1. PREPARING YOUR LAUNDRY
Sort your clothes to achieve optimal washing results, then prepare them in
accordance with the symbols on the washing instruction labels.
- Connect to power supply.
- Open the tap upstream of the water supply tube.
- Load the clothes in.
- Firmly close the door.
- Add detergent into the drawer.
SORTING (Fig. 2)
– For more efficient washing sort your laundry in accordance with the care
instructions, fabric type and recommended washing temperature; wash your
laundry at the proper drum rotation speed.
– Different fabrics should be washed at different temperatures and drum
rotation speeds.
– By all means sort dark clothes out from light-colored and white clothes. Wash
them separately, as dyes and pile can migrate and discolor light-colored and
white clothes. If possible, do not wash heavily contaminated clothes together
with cleaner clothes.
NOTE: If the Pre-Wash function is activated add washing agent into compartment
I of the detergent drawer.
WASHING
NOTE:
– Degree of contamination (high, normal, low): sort the clothes according to
contamination degree. Use longer and more intensive washing for medium and
highly contaminated clothes. Lightly contaminated clothes may be washed at
a lower temperature to save power.
– Color (white, light-colored fabrics, dark fabrics): Separate white clothes from
colored clothes. First wash newer dark and colored clothes separately from
the rest.
– Pile (pile fabrics, clothes that gather pile): wash pile fabric clothes and clothes
that gather pile from other clothes separately from the rest.
– Clothes with metal components (e.g. bone bras, belt buckles, metal buttons)
can damage the washing machine. Remove metal components before washing
or place the laundry into a mesh bag or pillow case. Besides, items like
snickers should be washed in a mesh bag to protect the items themselves
from wear. A mesh bag is also handy for washing small items (Fig. 5).
- Select program.
- Select auxiliary function or leave as it is.
- Press «Start/Pause» button to start washing program.

CALIBRATION
We recommend performing a calibration of the washing machine before the first
startup.
The appliance can automatically determine the quantity of the laundry loaded
into it. This feature allows optimizing power and water consumption.
1. Ensure that the drum is empty and close the machine door.
2. Insert the power plug into an electric socket.
3. Turn the washing machine on and simultaneously hold down the «Drying
Speed» and «Delayed Start» buttons for 10 seconds until the symbols «t19»
appear on the display.
4. Press the «Start/Pause» button to start the calibration and wait until the
symbols «****» appear on the display.
NOTE: The lines under the symbols indicate the fabric type and the maximum
allowable mechanical stress.
CHECKING THE CLOTHES BEFORE LOADING
– Wash large and small items together. Load large items first.
– Large items should not take up more than half of the batch. Do not wash single
items to avoid drum imbalance. Always add one or two more items.
