Operating Instructions

Control Panel

The control panel consists of a program selector knob, function buttons, and a display screen. Refer to the diagram in your physical manual for specific button layouts.

First Use

• Before washing laundry for the first time, run a wash cycle without laundry and detergent to clean the drum.
• Select a short program (e.g., Quick Wash) and start the cycle.

Loading Laundry

Sort laundry by fabric type, color, and degree of soiling. Open the door and load items one by one, ensuring not to overload the drum. Leave enough space for the laundry to tumble freely.

Adding Detergent

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer. Add the appropriate amount of detergent to the main wash compartment and, if desired, fabric softener to its designated compartment. Close the drawer gently.

Selecting a Program

Turn the program selector knob to choose the desired wash program (e.g., Cotton, Synthetics, Delicates, Wool, Quick Wash). The display will show the default temperature and spin speed for the selected program. You can adjust these settings using the corresponding buttons.

Starting a Wash Cycle

• After selecting the program and adjusting options, press the Start/Pause button.
• The machine will begin filling with water and the wash cycle will start.

Ending a Wash Cycle

At the end of the cycle, the machine will signal with an audible sound and/or a message on the display. The door will unlock automatically after a short delay. Remove the laundry promptly to prevent creasing.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser

Periodically remove the detergent dispenser drawer and rinse it under running water to remove any detergent residue. Use a brush if necessary.

Cleaning the Pump Filter

The pump filter should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages. Refer to your physical manual for the exact location and procedure for removing and cleaning the filter.

Care for the Door Seal

After each wash, wipe the door seal and glass to remove any lint or residue. Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to allow the drum to air out and prevent odors.

Winter Storage

If the machine is to be stored in an area subject to freezing temperatures, drain all water from the hoses and pump to prevent damage.
