Before using for the first time Before using the machine for the first time ensure that it is correctly installed and connected. See the relevant section under "Installation". Also check that the fluff filter is securely tightened. Otherwise there is a risk of water leakage during use. For safety reasons spinning is not possible until the machine has been prepared for using for the first time. To activate the spinning function you must run a wash programme without laundry and without detergent. Using detergent could result in an excessive build-up of foam. This also activates the ball valve. The ball valve prevents detergent escaping from the suds container into the sump during a wash programme, thus making maximum use of the detergent. ^ Open the stopcock. ^ Press the I-On/0-Off button in. ^ Turn the programme selector to Cottons 40°C. ^ Press Start. When this programme has finished turn the programme selector to Finish. Your washing machine is ready for using for the first time. 13
