Bleach cycle

If bleaching is necessary, the ex- tra case 4 (provided) must be inserted into compartment 1 of the detergent dispenser.

When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed the "max" level indicated on the central pivot (see illustration).

The use of the additional bleach container excludes the possibility of using the pre-wash cycle. Traditional bleach can only be used on sturdy white fabrics, whereas delicate bleach can be used for coloured fabrics, synthetics and for wool.

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.

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.
