Load the drum with dry
laundry.
The drum has been loaded
correctly when you can still
turn your hand freely between
drum wall and laundry.
Maximum load about 4.5 kg
(10 Ibs) dry laundry (less if
washing heavily soiled items).
On programmes without spin-
drying the max. load is about
2 kg (4 lbs) and on special care
programmes about 1 kg (2 Ibs).
Please ensure that nothing
falls into the space between
drum and tub!
Close the drum.
Carefully hook first the rigid
and then the movable clamp of
the drum lid into the drum
fittings and press down the grip
handle.
The locking button must
engage.
Please check that the grip
handle cannot be raised now
without pressing the locking
button.
Pour the washing powder for
the prewash directly on to the
drum and for the main wash
into the wash powder dispenser
which pulls out in the direction
of the arrow. The wash powder
dispenser returns automati-
cally into its starting position.
If you wish to soft-rinse the
laundry, add fabric softener to
the small dispenser on the
right.
Always follow the manufac-
turer's instructions when using
starch, i. e. dissolve the starch
and pour it directly on the drum
(select separate starching
programme).
On normal programmes (normal
water level) allow sufficient
washing powder for about
20 litres (approx. 4 gals.), on
special-care programmes
(high water level) for about
30 litres (5'/2 gals.).

Open the lid (not possible until
about 1 minute after completion
of the programme).
Remove the laundry.
If you have nothing else for
washing, close the tap and pull
out the plug or switch off the
main switch.
Washing powder
Always use a washing powder
specially designed for
automatic washing machines.
The quantity required depends
on the degree of soiling, the.
size of the load and hardny
of the water. See manufac- ~~
turers’ recommendations. We
recommend PERSIL Automatic
be used in this machine.
It is sometimes advisable to
use more powder for the
prewash than the main wash.
In hard water areas itis
advisable to add a water
softener such as Calgon for
example, to the main wash
powder. The quantity depends
on the hardness of the water
which you can enquire from
your local Water Board. See
manufacturers’ recommen-
dations. Too much washing
powder in conjunction with
very soft water and clothes
that are only lightly soiled
results in excessive foaming.
Should this happen, omit the
prewash from the next wash- -.,
