DETERGENT
AND ADDITIVES
a Your washing machine’s detergent dispenser has three compartments.
b If you’re using liquid detergent, you should close the door to the washing compartment. Using two fingers, pick the blue tab that protrudes from the bottom of that compartment and pull outwards completely. Release the flip top lid so it is in a horizontal position. This will prevent the liquid detergent from leaking out. To use powdered detergent, this lid should be open. Place it on a vertical position by pressing the top tab with one finger, and push it backwards completely.
c Before starting the wash cycle, pour liquid or powdered detergent, or additive, in the detergent dispenser.
Important! | The level of liquid must never exceed |
| the MAX reference mark stamped on |
| the dispenser wall. |

Remember that the amount of detergent to be used always depends on the following: 
Amount of clothes to be washed.
Degree of soiling.
Water hardness (you can obtain information on the degrees of water hardness through the corresponding local authorities).
Important! | We recommend you use a |
| product if water hardness in your area |
| is high. |

environmental notice
Keep in mind that some concentrated detergents are friendlier to nature and the environment.
Using more detergent does not help improve wash results,
and, besides being more expensive, it 
adversely affects the environment.
Therefore, we recommend you follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.
