Detergent drawer

The detergent drawer is split into 3 compartments:

- the compartment labelled "I" is for prewash detergent;

- the compartment labelled " " is for special additives, fabric softeners, fragrances, starch, brighteners etc;

-the compartment labelled "II" is for main wash detergent.

If liquid detergents are used, please insert the special container supplied into the compartment marked “II” in the detergent drawer. This ensures that the liquid detergent enters the drum at the right stage of the wash cycle.

This special container must be inserted into the compartment marked "II" in the detergent drawer, also when you wish to use the "RINSE" programme as BLEACHING cycle.

NOTE:

Some Detergents are Difficult to utilise. Ensure to use an in drum dispenser if recommended by the detergent Manufacturer.

Note: only put liquid products in the compartment

labelled “ ”. The machine is programmed to automatically take up additives during the final rinse stage for all wash cycles.

Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use

Choice of detergent

General purpose detergents

-Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for use in hot wash programmes (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.

-Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks, cosmetics and oil.

These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain bleach.

-Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really thorough wash.

Additional laundry aids

-Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as hard to very hard.

-Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash. Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free detergents.

-Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics.

If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.

Do not put solvents in the washing machine!

Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach.

Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent drawer.

Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instructions.
