Useful tips about the detergent dispenser

The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is opened by pull it outwards.

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 wash load, the water hardness and how soiled the washing is. Experience will help you select the right dosage almost automatically: it will become your secret.

Ensure no overfilling when adding fabric conditioner in compartment 3.

The washer-dryer automatically 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.

Special containers are sold with liquid or powder detergents for placing inside the washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer. 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.
