Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of detergent: adding too much detergent won't necessarily make for a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause build up on the interior of your appliance and even pollute the environment.

The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the possibility of using the pre-wash cycle. In addition, the bleach cycle cannot be run with programmes 11 (Silk) and Daily 30' (see page 6).

Open up the detergent dispenser and pour in the detergent and fabric softener, as follows.

•Divide your laundry according to:

•Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.

•Do not exceed the weight limits stated below, which refer to the weight when dry:

Sturdy fabrics: max 4,5 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg

Wool: max 1 kg

compartment 1: Detergent for pre-wash (powder)

Before pouring in the detergent, make sure that extra compartment 4 has been removed. compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the wash cycle start. compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid. extra compartment 4: Bleach

￿Do not use hand wash detergent because it may form too much foam.
