Detergents and laundry

	Detergent dispenser drawer

	Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of
	detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
	rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause
	build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to
	environmental pollution.
	! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
	create too much foam.

Silk: use special wash cycle 6 to wash all silk garments. We recommend the use of special detergent which has been designed to wash delicate clothes.

Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Use wash cycle 6.

Jeans: Turn garments inside-out before washing and use a liquid detergent. Use programme 7.

Load balancing system

1 2 3

Open the detergent di- spenser drawer and pour in the detergent or washing additive, as follows.

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washer-dryer performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and bal- ance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.

!Do not pour detergent into the compartment 1. Detergent should only be poured into the compartment 2. compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle (powder or liquid)

Liquid detergent should only be poured in immediately prior to the start of the wash cycle.

compartment 3: Additives (fabric softeners, etc.) The fabric softener should not overflow the grid.
