	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.
	! Do not use hand washing detergents because these
	create too much foam.
	! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments, for
	pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures over 60°C.

! Follow the instructions given on the detergent packaging.

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.

Bleach cycle

!Traditional bleach should be used on sturdy white fabrics, and delicate bleach for coloured fabrics, synthe-

tics and for wool.

To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into extra compartment 4, set the Rinse programme and enable the Stain removal option. To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent and fabric softener, set the desired pro- gramme and enable the Stain removal option (see page 13). The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the possibility of using the pre-wash cycle.
