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

compartment 2: Detergent for the wash cycle

(powder or liquid)

It is recommended that you place liquid detergent

directly into the compartment using the appropriate

dosing cup.
compartment 3: Additives (softener, etc.)

When pouring the softener in compartment 3, avoid

exceeding the "max" level indicated.

The softener is added automatically into the machine

during the last wash. At the end of the wash

programme, some water will be left in compartment

3. This is used for the inlet of denser fabric softeners

into the machine, i.e. to dilute the more

concentrated softeners. Should more than a normal

amount of water remain in compartment 3, this

means the emptying device is blocked. For cleaning

instructions, see page 10.

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.

When pouring in the bleach, be careful not to exceed

the "max" level indicated on compartment 4 .

To run the bleach cycle alone, pour the bleach into
compartment 4 and set the Extra Rinse function

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 5 kg

Synthetic fabrics: max 2.5 kg

Delicate fabrics: max 2 kg

Wool: max 1 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

11 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.

Trainers: remove any mud. They can be washed

together with jeans and other tough garments, but

not with whites.

Wool: for best results, use a specific detergent,

taking care not to exceed a load of 1 kg.
