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 a 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)
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 softener, etc.)
The fabric softener should not overflow from the grid.
! Do not usehand wash detergent because it may
cause too much foam.

Preparing your laundry
Note: We recommend that if you use colour catcher
sheets in your appliance that these only be used
inside a wash bag, as otherwise they can affect the
performance of your machine.
●
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 7kg
Sythetic fabrics: max 3kg
Delicate fabrics: max 3kg
Wool: max 1.5kg
How much does your laundry weigh?
1 sheet 400-500g
1 pillow case 150-200g
1 tablecloth
400-500g
1 bathrobe 900-1200g
1 towel 150-250g
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 2-3kg, 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 1.5kg.
