NB. Choose ‘low suds’ automatic powder, liquid or tablets, designed specifically for automatic washing machines / washer dryers. DO NOT use handwash detergent as excessive suds occur.

The dispenser drawer is opened by rotating outwards.

Adding Detergent

(1) Pre-wash tray (powder) and (2) Main wash detergent tray (powder or liquid)

To obtain the desired wash results and optimum detergent consumption, determine the amount of detergent in relation to the water hardness in your area, the type and quantity of laundry and its degree of soiling. Detergent packages indicate the amount, according to four levels of hardness and for normal soiled loads from 4 - 5 kg. Contact your local water board for information concerning the degree of water hardness in your area.

Follow all detergent manufacturers dosage recommendations.

For normal soiling, choose a programme without pre-washing, add detergent to compartment

2.For heavily soiled loads choose a programme with pre-washing, add detergent to compartments 1 and 2.

If there is no indication of recommended dosage for a delicate wash, use 1/2 to 2/3 of the recommended dosage indicated for wash resistant cotton fabrics.

For a wool programme we recommend that you only use neutral detergents for wool and follow the detergent manufacturers recommended dosage.

(3) Fabric conditioner

The conditioner is designed to make your clothes soft and pleasant smelling. Do not exceed the maximum level indicated.

Overdosing the amount of detergent does not improve the quality of the wash and could

cause excessive suds potentially leading to an overflow.

The dispenser can be removed and cleaned (see Cleaning section, page 20).

NB. 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 some would be wasted.
