• Beforeloadinglaundryintothewashingmachine,make

sure the drum is empty.

Load balancing system

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and

to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates

continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the

washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is

not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin

speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing ma-

chine performs the distribution process instead of spinning.

To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we

recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.
