Description of the appliance

Detergent dispenser drawer

Compartment for prewash or soak detergent and stain remover. The prewash or soak detergent is added at the beginning of the wash programme. The stain remover is added during the STAIN-Action phase in the main wash.

Compartment for powder or liquid detergent used for main wash. It is emptied at the beginning of the wash cycle.

Compartment for liquid additives (fabric softener, starch).

It is emptied at the last rinse.

The quantity of additives must not exceed the “MAX” mark in the drawer.

Before the first wash

Before your first wash, we recommend that you pour 2 litres of water

into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer in order to activate the ECO valve.

Then, run a cotton cycle at 60°C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub.

Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the machine.
