Care
Before washing for the first time
Do not load any laundry into the machine. Turn on the tap.
Add the following to compartment II:
– approx. 1 litre water
– detergent (dosage according to the manufacturer's instructions for light soiling and the appropriate degree of water
hardness)
Set the programme selector to algodón/algodão (cottons) 60 °C and select inicio /pausa (start /pause). At the end of
the programme, turn the programme selector to (off) .
Machine housing, control panel
– Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
– Do not use any abrasive cloths, scourers or cleaning agents (stainless steel cleaners).
– Remove detergent and cleaning agent residue immediately.
– Do not clean with a jet of water.

The detergent solution and laundry may be hot. If possible, leave it to cool down.
Do not reach into the drum if it is still rotating.
Do not open the washing machine door if water can be seen through the glass.
1. Turn the programme selector to (off) and disconnect the mains plug.
2. Drain the detergent solution a page 10 .
3. Pull the emergency release downwards with a tool and release.
Washing machine door can then be opened.
