Using too much detergent is unnecessary and increases overall impact on the environment quite needlessly. Even biodegradable detergents contain substances which can disturb the balance of the environment.
Using your appliance The very first time that the machine is used you should run a wash programme with no load in the drum, to clear any residues which may have been left by the manufacturing process. Pour approx. 100 ml of detergent straight into the drum and run programme G, 40° C. When the programme has ended the machine will be ready for use. 1 Loading the machine Pull the door latch gently to open the door. Put the items to be washed inside the drum. Large and small items can be mixed.
