Detergent dispenser
Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
detergent: adding too much detergent won’t necessarily
make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build
up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the
environment.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these crea-
te too much foam.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for pre-
washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in the
detergent and fabric softe-
ner, as follows.
compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder)
compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle
(powder or liquid)
Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior
to the wash cycle start.
compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.)
When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid excee-
ding the “max” level indicated.
The softener is added automatically into the machine during
the last wash. At the end of the wash programme, some
water will be left in compartment 3. This is used for the inlet
of denser fabric softeners into the machine, i.e. to dilute the
more concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal
amount of water remain in compartment 3, this means the
emptying device is blocked. For cleaning instructions, see
page 10. The fabric softener should not overflow from the
grid.
compartment 4: Bleach
Bleach cycle
Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics,
and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for
wool.
When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the
“max” level indicated on compartment 4 (see figure).
To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into com-
partment 4 and set the Rinse programme (for cotton
fabrics) and push the button Bleaching.
Preparing your laundry
• Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Do not exceed theweight limits stated below,
which refer to the weight when dry:
Sturdy fabrics: max 5 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg
Wool: max 1 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special items
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or
mesh bag. Wash them separately without exceeding half
the appliance load. Use programme 11 which excludes
the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are padded
with goose or duck down, they can be machine-washed.
Turn the garments inside out and load a maximum of 2-3
kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the
delicate spin cycle.
Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking
care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.
