Self-cleaning detergent dispenser

drawer

This washing machine is fitted with an innovative self-

cleaning detergent drawer which enhances the

quality of each wash.

The drawer is located inside the porthole door.

1. Open the porthole door to access the detergent

dispenser drawer (see figure A).

2. Pour the detergent or the additive into the

compartments, over the protective grilles, as follows:
Compartment

: detergent and additives in

liquid form.
Compartment

: detergent in powder or tablet

form and powder addititves.

To place the tablets inside, lift up the grille

protecting the drawer.
Compartment

: fabric softener.

Pouring liquid detergent or additives into the central

compartment may cause leakages to occur.

The detergent level can be seen through the corresponding

transparent windows provided on the compartment.
Inside compartments

and

, there are also

floating indicators (see figure B) . When the

maximum quantity of detergent/fabric softener has

been measured out, the indicators rise until they

touch the grilles protecting the compartments.
We recommend that the maximum levels

indicated on the detergent dispenser drawer are

not exceeded.
We recommend that the dosage instructions on

the detergent packaging are followed carefully. If

using certain particularly thick types of detergent,

we suggest that these are placed directly inside the

drum and not in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Exceeding the maximum levels indicated on the

machine may cause the detergent to leak out of the

bottom part of the drawer.

Exceeding the stated amount of detergent does not

result in a more effective was; it simply pollutes the

environment more.
The water used during the wash cycle will remove

any excess detergent from the drawer. It is, however,

possible to remove the drawer manually (see Care

and Maintenance).
To facilitate the process of measuring out the

detergents, we recommend that the dosing device

supplied with the washing machine is used.

The maximum capacity of the drawer is as follows:

- liquid detergents: 1 1/2 measures

- powder detergents: 2 measures

- fabric softener: 1 measure
