🧼 Detailed Instructions

1. Preparing your laundry
Sort clothes by colour and fabric. Empty pockets, close zips and buttons, and place delicate items (like underwear or curtains) inside a laundry bag.

2. Loading the washing machine
Open the door and loosely place your clothes inside. Don’t overload – this model can take up to 7 kg for cotton programmes.

3. Adding detergent and softener
Use the detergent drawer if it’s liquid, for tablets, add them to with the clothes:

  • Compartment I – prewash (only for very dirty loads)
  • Compartment II – main wash detergent
  • Compartment 🌸 (III) – fabric softener (do not exceed the MAX line)

4. Choosing a programme
Turn the programme selector knob to choose a wash cycle:

  • Cotton 40°C–60°C – everyday laundry (bedding, towels, etc.)
  • Synthetics 40°C – mixed or synthetic fabrics
  • Delicate/Wool 30°C – gentle wash for wool or silk
  • Quick Wash 30 min – lightly soiled clothes
  • Eco 40–60°C – energy-efficient option for normal loads

5. Adjusting temperature & spin
You can modify temperature and spin speed with the control buttons. Lower temperatures save energy and protect fabrics.

6. Starting the wash
Press the Start/Pause button. The door will lock automatically.
When the cycle finishes, the door will unlock a few minutes later.

7. After washing
Leave the door slightly open to allow the drum to dry and prevent odours.
Clean the detergent drawer and rubber seal occasionally.

  1. Your post seems to provide a comprehensive guide on how to use a washing machine. I can relate to the instructions as I have used similar machines during my stay in apartments in Gran Canaria, where the sunny weather often encourages frequent laundry. The island’s pleasant climate makes it ideal for outdoor activities, and having clean clothes readily available is a must. Your guide appears to be helpful for those who might be unfamiliar with the operation of a washing machine.
