The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenserisopenedbyrotatingitoutwards.

In compartment 1:

Detergent for pre-washing (powder)

You must follow the dosage recommendations provided by the manufacturers when adding detergent or fabric conditioner. Doses will vary according to the washload,thewaterhardnessand how soiled the washing is.

Experience will help you select the right dosage almost automatically: it will become your secret.

The washing machine automa- tically adds the softener to the wash in each programme.

Liquid detergent is poured into compartment 2 just a few seconds before starting the wash cycle.

Remember that liquid detergent is only designed for wash cycles of up to 60 degrees on non pre- wash items, so you will not have to use button H.

Special containers are sold with liquid or powder detergents for placing inside the washing machine drum, these are positioned according to the instructions found in the detergent box

Never use hand wash detergent, because it may form too much foam, which could damage the washing machine.

Detergents that are specifically formulated for both hand and machine wash are an exception. One last secret: when washing with cold water, always reduce the amount of detergent you use: it dissolves less easily in cold water than in hot water, so part of it would be wasted.
