4.4 LOADING THE ITEMS FOR WASHING
1. Open the door and load the washing, distributing it evenly over the drum, with items opened out and not
bundled together; if possible, large and small items should be well mixed.
2. The washing machine covered by this manual can be loaded with up to 7kg of washing for each wash.
If this weight is exceeded, the washing results will be poor and the appliance may malfunction.
3. To save energy it is more economical to wash full loads of the various types of fabric, following the
guidance on quantities provided in the "Programmes Table" supplied in this manual.
4. Close the door by pressing against the frame until you hear it click shut. Take care not to trap items of
washing between the door and the rubber gasket.
