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.

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 the weight limits stated below,

which refer to the weight when dry:

Synthetic fabrics: max 2,5

kg

Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg

 

Wool: max 1,5 kg

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the wash cycle start. compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.

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 7 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 1,5 kg.

MAX

Place extra compartment 4, provided, into compartment 1. When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level indicated on the central pivot (see figure).

To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into extra compartment 4, set the Rinse programme and enable the Stain removal option (see page 11).

To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and fabric softener, set the desired programme and enable the Stain removal option (see page 11).

The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the possibility of using the pre-wash cycle.
