Detergent dispenser
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.
Open up the detergent
dispenser and pour in
the detergent and fabric
softener, as follows.
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, synthetics and for wool.
Place extra
compartment 4,
provided, into
compartment 1.
When pouring in the
bleach, be careful not to
exceed the "max" level
indicated on the central
pivot (see figure).
To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into
extra compartment 4, set the Rinse programme
and enable the Stain removal option (see page 11).
To bleach during a wash cycle, pour in the detergent
and fabric softener, set the desired programme and
enable the Stain removal option (see page 11).
The use of extra compartment 4 excludes the
possibility of using the pre-wash cycle.
Preparing your laundry
• Divide your laundry according to:
- the type of fabric/the symbol on the label.
- the colours: separate coloured garments from
whites.
• Empty all pockets and check for loose buttons.
• Do not exceed the weight limits stated below,
which refer to the weight when dry:
Sturdy fabrics: max 6 kg
Synthetic fabrics: max 2,5 kg
Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg
Wool: max 1,5 kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500 g
1 pillow case 150-200 g
1 tablecloth 400-500 g
1 bathrobe 900-1,200 g
1 towel 150-250 g
Special items
Curtains: fold curtains and place them in a pillow
case or mesh bag. Wash them separately without
exceeding half the appliance load. Use programme 7
which excludes the spin cycle automatically.
Quilted coats and windbreakers: if they are
padded with goose or duck down, they can be
machine-washed. Turn the garments inside out and
load a maximum of 2-3 kg, repeating the rinse cycle
once or twice and using the delicate spin cycle.
Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,
taking care not to exceed a load of 1,5 kg.
