PREPARATION OF THE WASHING: Whirlpool AWG 222

PREPARATION OF THE WASHING

Plug in the machine.

Open the water tap.

FIRST WASH CYCLE

There may be water left inside your machine after factory tests and trials. It is

recommended that the first wash cycle should be made without any laundry to

drain this water; pour half a measuring cup of normal all-purpose detergent

into compartment 2 and select cotton programme at 90°C.

SORTING YOUR LAUNDRY

Sort your clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic, sensitive,

woollen, etc.), washing temperatures and level of dirtiness.

Never wash your white and coloured clothes together.

Since your new coloured clothes may shed dye on the first wash,

wash them separately.

Be careful that no metal pieces are found on or in the pockets of your

clothes, remove if necessary.

Zip and button your clothes.

Remove plastic or metal hooks from curtains and laces or place them

inside a washing bag and tie.

Turn textiles such as trousers, knitted fabrics, t-shirts and sweat shirts

inside out.

Wash small clothing items such as socks and handkerchiefs in a

washing bag.

PLACEMENT OF THE CLOTHES INTO THE MACHINE

Open the door of your machine.

Fill your clothes in your machine in an evenly-spread manner.

When you shut the door of your machine, be careful that no clothing

item is jammed between the cover and the gasket.

Shut the door of your machine tightly otherwise your machine will not

begin the washing process.

FILLING DETERGENT IN THE MACHINE

The

quantity

of the detergent that you will fill in your machine depends on the

following criteria:

Your detergent consumption will change according to the level of

dirtiness of your clothes. For your slightly dirty clothes, do not pre-

wash and put a small amount of detergent in the compartment no.2

of the detergent drawer.

For your excessively dirty clothes, select a programme with pre-wash,

fill ¼ portion of the de tergent you will put in compartment 1 in the

detergent drawer and the remaining portion in compartment 2.

In your machine, use detergents developed especially for automatic

washing machines. The quantities that will be used for your clothes

are written on the packaging of the detergents.

As the hardness of your water increases, the amount of detergent to

be consumed will also increase.

As the amount of your clothes increases, the amount of detergent to

be consumed will also increase.

Pour your softener into the softener compartment of your detergent

drawer. Do not exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, the softener will

diffuse into the washing water via the siphon.

Concentrated softeners should be diluted with water before pouring

into the drawer. This is because concentrated softener obstructs the

siphon and prevents the flow of the softener.

You can use fluid detergents in all programmes without pre-

washing. For this, add the fluid detergent separator to the second

compartment of the detergent drawer and regulate the amount of

fluid detergent according to the levels on this plate.

WARNING!

In the event that power is cut off at any stage of the wash programmes and

then later reconnected, your machine will continue the programme from the

point it was interrupted at. Such a situation will not cause any harm to your

machine.

In the event that power is cut off during the wash operation, the door lock

mechanism will be released after two minutes. If there is water in the machine

do not open the door, in order to prevent water from pouring out. If you wish

to take out your laundry you can do so by draining the water inside the

machine.
