The secrets of the detergent dispenser

The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenserisopenedbyrotatingitoutwards.

In compartment 1:

Detergent for pre-washing (powder)

You must add detergent and any additives following the dosage recommended by the manufacturers: generally, all the indications you need are on the box. Doses vary according to 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.

When pouring in the softener in compartment 3, avoid making it overflow from the grate.

The washer-dryer automatically adds the softener to the wash in each programme.

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

Remember that liquid detergent is particularly indicated for wash cycles of up to 60 degrees on non pre-wash items.

Liquid or powder detergents are sold together with special containers that are to be placed directly inside the washer-dryer drum, according to the instructions found on 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 indicated 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.
