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 a build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

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 softener, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.

!Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.

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 2-3kg, repeating the rinse cycle once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle. Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed together with jeans and other tough garments, but not with whites.

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent, taking care not to exceed a load of 1.5kg.

Preparing your laundry

-the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.

-the colours: separate coloured garments from whites.

Do not exceed the weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry:
