Adding Detergent
●
(1) Pre-wash tray (powder) and (2) Main wash detergent tray (powder or liquid)
To obtain the desired wash results and optimum detergent consumption, determine the
amount of detergent in relation to the water hardness in your area, the type and quantity of
laundry and its degree of soiling. Detergent packages indicate the amount, according to four
levels of hardness and for normal soiled loads from 4 - 5 kg. Contact your local water board for
information concerning the degree of water hardness in your area.
Follow all detergent manufacturers dosage recommendations.
For normal soiling, choose a programme without pre-washing, add detergent to compartment
2. For heavily soiled loads choose a programme with pre-washing, add
d
etergent to
compartments 1 and 2.
If there is no indication of recommended dosage for a delicate wash, use
1
/
2
to
2
/
3
of the
recommended dosage indicated for wash resistant cotton fabrics.
For a wool programme we recommend that you only use neutral detergents for wool and
follow the detergent manufacturers recommended dosage.
●
(3) Fabric conditioner
The conditioner is designed to make your clothes soft and pleasant smelling. Do not
exceed the maximum level indicated.
Overdosing the amount of detergent does not improve the quality of the wash and could
cause excessive suds potentially leading to an overflow.
The dispenser can be removed and cleaned (see Cleaning section, page 21).
NB. When washing with cold water, always reduce the amount of detergent you use - it dissolves
less easily in cold water than in hot water, so some would be wasted.

IMPORTANT:
- Do not exceed the
maximum levels.
